The Metro Beauty Awards 2019

ATTN: beauty fans and aficionados! METRO is back to bring you another edition of the Metro Beauty Awards, a compilation of some of the best beauty products this side of the world! We went through literally hundreds of products to find out what works and what doesn't!

This year, apart from the Metro editorial team going through a gazillion beauty goodies, we asked the help from some our favorite beauty experts to give their opinion on what stands out!

Get ready to hear from the likes of celebrity makeup artist Anthea Bueno, one of the most in-demand makeup artists in Manila today! With loyal clients like Jess Wilson, Bea Soriano-Dee, Kylie Verzosa, Janine Gutierrez, Mari Jasmine, and Karen Gallman, you know she's well-loved for her exquisite makeup skills and taste. You'll want to see what Anthea picked out as her stand out picks from the makeup and skincare nominees.

Next up on our expert panel is veteran celebrity hairstylist and entrepreneur Jing Monis, the master for transforming celebrity hairstyles! With more than two decades of experience under his belt, Jing graces the Metro Beauty Awards this year by lending his expertise and giving top picks and tips on the hair product nominees! Want tresses like his clients Maymay Entrata, Joey Mead-King, Teresa Herrera, Robin Padilla, and Judy Ann Santos? Keep it here on Metro.Style and check out what he thinks of the hair care nominees!

Skincare is having a golden age, with a new "breakthrough product" popping up on shelves rapidly every month. But as consumers, we need expert help to let us in on what really works, and what's just trendy. We often can't get that advice from sales staff in the mall, so we turn to seasoned pros like our next Beauty Awards Expert Anna Palabyab-Rufino, a Board-Certified dermatologist and partner at Beautique, MD., a boutique beauty clinic in Bonifacio Global City. We're grateful that she's here to tell us what she loves about the skincare nominees, and what are certified winners in her book. You'll want to stay tuned for this!

And last but definitely not in any way least, we sought out advice from one of Manila's top beauty bloggers and founder of Project Vanity, Liz Lanuzo! You'll often see her doing the rounds at a lot of beauty brand event launches, trying out daring and out-of-the-box makeup looks, formulating new bestselling products for her own skincare line In Her Element, and doing beauty and career talks! For this year's Beauty Awards, she helped review makeup and skincare nominees, and gave her best bets for adding to your own kit.

A bigger and better Metro Beauty Awards awaits! Enjoy!
