Catch the butterflies fever at Lancome

MANILA, Philippines -  From eco-chic to disco dream, Aaron de Mey reignites the ’70s spirit for Lancome. Ever committed to furthering its quest for naturality, Lancome once again rewrites the rules of 100-percent natural-origin makeup.

De May has composed a unique color harmony of pastel tones to blend together and use as a blush, or to apply individually: Rose enhances the cheekbones while the lilac shade can be used in delicate touches to correct subtle complexion imperfections.

Makeup tips from dusk till dawn from Avon Color’s Lala Flores

Lip tip: Angel Locsin wears Avon’s Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick in Knockout Pink and Ideal Shade Dual Powder Foundation SPF 15.

Avon Color creative consultant Lala Flores shares tips to help keep you looking fabulous from day to night.

The trick, she said, is to understand your skin tone and features, and get the right palette for your face. “Women should have at least a basic kit for makeup that contains the following: foundation, powder, mascara, neutral/nude brown eyeshadow, black/dark brown eyeliner, blush powder, lipstick, conditioning lipbalm and lipgloss,” says Lala. “But with the different lifestyles that women have, there are appropriate looks and makeup items one should have based on various day-to-day situations.”

More women swear by the BB cream

Beautiful skin is, strictly speaking, not difficult to achieve. Regular facials and peels are a good start, followed by maintaining the results with a skin regimen that suits the particular problems of your skin.

Japanese women, with their translucent porcelain skin, are starting to swear by the BB cream, which is originally a German skincare invention.

BB cream is pretty much a tinted moisturizer, but it has the dual function of healing your skin at the same time. It moisturizes your skin, protects it from the sun’s harmful rays, provides makeup coverage, and heals it all at the same time. So after prolonged use, you look like you’re wearing foundation (the perfect shade), but your pores aren’t clogged by makeup and your skin is softer, smoother, and more refined.
