Metro Beauty Girls of Summer

<p>Summer isn’t over just yet! The sun is still out (as evidenced by the heat we’re all experiencing!), and if you’re looking for a summer beauty muse to obsess over, look no further because we’re introducing you to five ladies who will make your summer brighter, and your makeup kits hotter! They’re not only great at doing a glowy summer beauty look but are also multi-faceted girls who radiate brightness. Read on to get to know them a little better and cop their summer beauty essentials!</p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@saintbianca?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>BIANCA FERRO</strong></a></div><p><strong></strong>Ever heard of the face that launched a thousand ships? Well, Bianca’s eyes have launched a thousand comments, specifically on TikTok. But to settle the discussion, she is truly 100% Filipina and those are her real eyes, not contacts! And yes, they are green!</p><p>The hue of her peepers might be the first thing you’ll notice about Bianca, but her carefree and down-to-earth personality is really what makes her so endearing. She is currently a model and content creator, and while she lends her face to fashion and beauty campaigns that lean more creative and editorial, her usual GRWMs are more laid-back. Just curled lashes, sun-kissed skin, and juicy popsicle lips. <strong></strong></p><div><strong><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747641340232Summer Girls Bianca.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Bianca Ferro</span></span></span>Bianca&#x27;s Summer Essentials:</strong></div><div><strong>1. SOLA Daily Screen SPF 50+ PA++++</strong></div><p>“It’s my go-to! It gives your skin a healthy, glowy base.”</p><div><strong>2. Sunnies Face Healthy Touch Bronzer Duo</strong></div><p>“I’m obsessed with this one because it comes with two shades, so you can dial up (or down) how bronzed you want to be. I love the shade Medium.”</p><div><strong>3. Strokes Crush Blush </strong></div><p>“This has been a staple for me. I use the shade Ladylike for that natural “sunburnt” flush. Bonus: You can tap it on your lips, too, for a soft, sun-kissed pout.”</p><div><strong>4. Teviant Beauty Starbalm</strong></div><p>“It gives your body that gorgeous glow that says, ‘I’ve been at the beach all day.’”</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kristinahechanova" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>KRISTINA HECHANOVA</strong></a></div><p>With just one viral video, Dubai-based Filipina creator Kristina’s “hey rhode” cinnamon lip tint video (that has 2.3 million views and counting on TikTok!), where she’s just shooting her shot to be part of the brand’s PR list, has given her a one-way ticket to the world of global beauty brands. Brands flooded her comment section, expressing their interest in working with her because they were so impressed by her video. So far, she’s worked with Fenty Beauty, Glossier, Summer Fridays, Huda Beauty, Sephora, just to name a few! </p><p>But Kristina is far from being a novice in the creative world. In fact, she really just applied the stuff that she uses on her clients in her own video, as she is an entrepreneur and a creative director by profession. She describes her content as “sensory-driven videos that have a mix of ASMR, textures, and aesthetic shots,” and true enough, her videos will really make you feel like you’re on TikTok Pro. But besides her creative skills, Kristina is sunshine incarnate! She glows with positivity, and watching her will also make you want to be it all and do it all!</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747645132677Summer Kristina Hechenova.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Kristina Hechanova</span></span></span><strong>Kristina&#x27;s Essentials:</strong></div><div><strong>1.

EOS Vanilla Cashmere Lotion </strong></div><p>“This summer, I’m all about products that do double duty as skincare and leave me smelling delicious. This is basically dessert for your skin.”</p><div><strong>3. Olehenriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment</strong></div><p>“I always have the Olehenriksen lip peptide treatment in Strawberry on me because glossy lips are kind of my whole personality right now.”</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@chedmercado?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>CHED MERCADO</strong></a></div><p>Ched is a stunning morena beauty that should definitely be on your radar! She is currently based in Laguna and she works as a content creator and freelance model. Her lip syncs and casual makeup videos are so lighthearted and fresh, with just the natural sunlight bathing her face perfectly. Her face card is something that’s truly unmissable.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747648262369Summer Ched Mercado.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Ched Mercado</span></span></span><strong>Ched&#x27;s Essentials:<br id="isPasted"/></strong></div><div><strong>1.

Sunnies Face Lashlift, Careline Oil Control Blush in Coral Craze, and Dazzle Me Ink Gloss in Femme</strong></div><p>“I just use three [things]: my go-to mascara, blush on, lip gloss, and that&#x27;s it!”</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/makeupbybooya/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>BOOYA</strong></a></div><p>Booya is a professional makeup artist specializing in editorials and bridal makeup. But she also does the most imaginative looks on herself. She creates content that is not only eye candy but also carries a unique creative spirit with it. She often pulls inspiration from the most unexpected places, like Beyonce’s concert wardrobe, to even her favorite Bible verses. She’s a free spirit, and you’ll never catch her having a bad hair day. She’s always sporting voluptuous, caramel-colored, bouncy hair that makes it feel like she’s in a perpetual summer mood.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747649078552Summer Girls Booya.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Booya</span></span></span></div><div><strong>Booya&#x27;s Essentials:</strong></div><div><strong>1. Clinique Ever Better City Block Sunscreen</strong></div><p>“My go-to sunscreen! It has a lightweight feel on the face, really perfect before applying makeup.”</p><div><strong>2. YSL Loveshine</strong></div><p>“Another product that I must have! The lippie is so hydrating, and I love the luxe finish it gives on my lips. I sometimes use it as my blush, too!”</p><div><strong>3. Barenbliss Perfect Zoom Cushion with SPF 50 PA +++</strong></div><p>“To shield my skin from the intense heat while looking good!”</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@hkfasad" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>HANNAH KHALDOUN ASAD</strong></a></div><p>Three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and Hannah being decked out in colorful flowers– literally. Either she’s wearing them as a top, on her hair, as an earring, or as a bag. Hannah is a Filipino-Palestinian content creator, and her personality is as colorful as the stuff she wears on her body and on her face.</p><p>She’s a certified lover of blush (she has a huge collection!) and rightfully so because she is a full-time content creator, and she’s known to not shy away from sharing her candid thoughts on her beauty reviews. On top of that, she also makes videos about plus-size fashion! </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747650670186Summer Girls Hannah.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Hannah Khaldoun Asad</span></span></span></div><div><strong>Hannah&#x27;s Essentials:</strong></div><div><strong>1. Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid</strong></div><p>“A staple in my life for almost 4 years now, this heat is taking a toll on my skin and this just gives me extra hydration!”</p><div><strong>2. Enigma Beauty Foundation</strong></div><p>“THE foundation for hot and humid Manila. It’s everything my oily skin could ever ask for. Oil controlling, blurring &amp; light weight!”</p><div><strong>3. Lazy Sunday Morning by Maison Margiela </strong></div><p>“My perfect clean fresh out the laundry scent, I’ve gotten so many compliments whenever I wear this! I could overspray, and it never gets cloying!”</p><div><strong>4. Colourette Colourbounce in LUV</strong></div><p>“The best blush for hot and humid Manila, the most long-wearing local blush in my opinion, it lasts so long on my oily skin!”</p>
