Beauty basics
MANILA, Philippines - There is always a need to enhance one’s beauty without necessarily falling into the vanity trap. Nowadays, being pleasant and presentable almost always gives a woman the confidence she needs to be the best in what she does.
Improving one’s beauty through makeup does not always have to be expensive. Many times, it also does not require professional assistance. One just needs to know the basics of applying makeup as a starting point in achieving a specific look. All-Filipino brand Ever Bilena shares some basic beauty tips that are easily available for women who love to embrace their beauty and confidence.
The right foundation. Choosing a foundation should be based on your skin tone to avoid the dreaded “ghost face.†Experts say that you’ll know the foundation has the perfect personal shade for you if your face and neck are of the same color even if you stop your product application at the jaw line. You may try the EB Advance Shine-Free Makeup Foundation that provides smoother, more even and longer lasting coverage than what powder foundation does. It contains Vitamin E that helps moisturize skin. It’s also formulated with broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen protection to promote healthy skin.
Blush it on. According to experts, the right blush color for you is the color of your cheeks when you blush. Applying cheek blush makes you look instantly fresh and healthy, but beware over blushing! For a vibrant-looking aura, there’s Ever Bilena Cheek Blush that lets your cheeks achieve natural color and definition. It is infused with Vitamins E, C and K to moisturize, soften and enhance your healthy, radiant skin. It comes with a built-in mirror and brush for easy application.
Get lippy. Most of the time, your lip color gets noticed first. That’s why it’s important to choose the right shade of lipstick to match the occasion. It has been said that lighter lip colors are the best to wear during the day. But there’s no harm in adding the intensity to your lip color from time to time. You can achieve great looking lips with the alluring shades of Ever Bilena Extreme Lipstick. It is formulated with natural sunscreen protection and Vitamin E that moisturizes the lips while protecting them from harmful sunrays.
