How to fix cakey makeup?
"You got to wet damp sponge then you tap it over the cakey area or you dust powders on top of your face with ambient lighting powder like the ones from Hourglass. [At sephora.ph]
What is a lash lift?
"A lash lift is, you know, how normally Asian lashes are very sleek and straight... This one is like a permanent curl for the eyelash. But because our eyelashes fall in a span of 6-8 weeks, it only last for those weeks."
Laureen Uy
How to apply aloe vera?
"I love aloe vera. I think it’s one of the best things in the world especially if you have scars, rashes, or anything na hindi ganong kaganda sa skin mo. So usually, you just get the real aloe vera, break it, get the sap, then apply it on your skin."
How to take off makeup without makeup wipes?
"You can try Shu Uemura cleansing oil, that’s what I use and then my other skincare routine follows."
Maxine Medina
How to fix cakey makeup?
"I use sponge when applying my foundation then I dab it. The other one is using a spray face mist and then swirl the brush in a circular motion."
What concealer to use?
"I actually use NARS. When you apply it parang nagpa-powder s’ya, nagbe-blend siya sa skin then eventually nagiging powdery, hindi s’ya ‘yung nagkakaron ng lines."

How to do cat-eye?
"Ako, I just base it on my eye shape. Well, it takes practice because at first, hindi s’ya pantay at all. And for me, it’s better to use liquid eyeliner so that it’s easier to do a cat-eye."
What hair color looks best on me?
"Well, I used to wear brown to dark brown. Before, I tried going blonde once at beauty pageants when they were experimenting with my look. But, it ended up that the lighter they go with my hair, parang hindi s’ya bumabagay especially with my tan skin. So ayun, ako naman, I guess with the hair color, whatever suits the personality of the person and the attitude, just go for it!"
Kaila Estrada
How to apply aloe vera?
"I like to put it on my hair, but it just doesn’t smell that great. I haven’t tried it yet on my skin pero they say it’s good, it’s soothing."
How to take off makeup without makeup wipes?
"There’s this really nice discovery that I made called Makeup Eraser. It’s a cloth that you don’t need to add anything, just wet it with warm water then rub it on your face, it removes everything—that’s what I like to use when I’m lazy." [at SM Beauty]
