Start your makeup by applying primer or moisturizer before your favorite foundation; hydration is essential to ensure your makeup adheres smoothly and doesn’t look patchy. Next, grab your favorite eyeshadow palette, choose your preferred neutral shade for the day, and blend it in circular motions for a seamless finish. Apply a lip color that complements your look, and don’t forget to set everything with a setting spray. This will help your makeup last for hours. With your face well moisturized and your eyeshadow perfectly blended, your makeup won’t look cakey—so demure, so cutesy!</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><blockquote

be very demure. However, be mindful of frizz and oil buildup on your scalp—that’s not cutesy in public! We understand that alternatively washing your hair every day can make it smoother, but be careful, as oils can build up too. So, aside from using your regular shampoo and conditioner, try incorporating hair treatments as part of your at-home hair care. This way, if you need to run important errands, your hair will stay silky and flawless at all times. Another mindful moment for our hair and scalp!</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/d0a5f01c-4af5-4414-b294-52e94ef375e0_pexels-ron-lach-10117812.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Dining out in a Demure way</strong></div><p>Eating out in public sometimes makes us conscious of how we look while eating. In addition to your regular meals like rice and meat, adding some veggies to your plate is a mindful choice! Also, avoid stuffing everything into your mouth at once—that’s a no-no if you want to be demure. Always sit comfortably, and eat your food in moderation to ensure you’re not overdoing it in public. Be cautious of spills on the table and your outfit! They can take away from your sophistication, and that of your date, if you have one. So, be mindful of what’s on your plate and how you digest it. Being demure with your body means balancing your diet while eating cutely!</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9363c556-9fd5-4c8a-827f-07997df00349_toni-koraza-r_vli4nda9c-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Demure at Conversations </strong></div><p>Got your place in a group date or meeting? Try to let others finish their sentences before introducing your topic—that’s the most demure way to do it! When talking to a group of friends or participating in a meeting, remember that different groups have different tones of conversation. Your friends might understand your particular humor, but your co-workers may not be familiar with the jokes you share with childhood friends. Simply adapt to the different &#x27;languages&#x27; spoken by people to better understand their perspectives and ways of living. Understanding conversations, whether based on personality or culture, is the best way to have a modest month—or life!</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/097a2464-f55e-45c8-82e6-ac3d94a9e691_brooke-cagle-yakssufdd74-unsplash.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>The incorporation of “demure” personality in our lives, doesn’t need to always be dramatic. Sometimes it’s just about how we see different perspectives, and apply modesty to all forms of life. Thanks to Jools for introducing the blend of both beauty and sophistication, we are now including a new word into our beauty book. Always remember, be very <strong>demure, mindful, </strong>and <strong>cutesy</strong>!</p><div><br/></div><p>Text by <strong>Ryan Claveria</strong></p><p>Banner photo (flower) by <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/pink-flower-9DedxUSwLg4" target="_blank">Annie Spratt on Unsplash</a></p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/skincare/dewha-4th-anniversary-switch-glow-win-giveaway/38780" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Switch to This Skincare Brand and Get a Chance to Win a Trip to an International or Domestic Destination</a></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>
