She&#x27;s truly one to watch!</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/1750586775540downloadgram.org_490380196_18361073698182383_7084528970638065640_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Kai Montinola</span></span></span></div><p>Kai has a lot of beauty statements to adore—from the moment she stepped out of Big Brother&#x27;s house to her multiple red carpet appearances, such as the Star Magic Christmas 2024 and the ABS-CBN Ball 2025 red carpets, where she received multiple recognitions, and was consecutively awarded as Best Dressed by METRO on multiple occasions. As we continue to admire Kai’s beauty, we recount all of her most captivating “Face Card On” moments that had us glued to our screens!</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Angelic Beauty</strong></div><p>No makeup look? Check! Kai always got that allure on- and off-screen. And even with just simple hues, her features already shine through. Not to mention her confidence, which boosts the overall image!</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750586936860downloadgram.org_480621468_18354870253182383_25690922657013628_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Ball Bloom</strong></div><p>Lucky for us at METRO, we got an exclusive look at her ABS-CBN Ball ensemble before she walked the red carpet. And our first impression? Mesmerized. We were tantalized by how every element of her glam was perfectly tied to her overall visuals. Her glam team surely did its best to present her in her most stunning version for the biggest event of the year!</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750587010320downloadgram.org_488014178_18360559678182383_9033815013513405054_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Rising Pop Star Princess</strong></div><p>Other than her magnetizing beauty, Kai’s talent is also one of her many charms. Her voice–melodic, soothing, and enchanting–is an added layer of beauty to her already striking face card. The combination of her visuals and vocals is sharp enough to make anyone fall in love! Check out the purplish hues on her cheeks in her upcoming release—stunning!</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750587119602downloadgram.org_509425269_18369969841182383_3735088098582383288_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Off-Camera Allure</strong></div><p>During her recent trip to Dubai, Kai showed us a different side of her. She embodies an <em>au naturel </em>beauty in a simple and endearing beauty look. She’s always exploring new beauty styles, but never forgets to slay every single one! For this look, she simply curled her lashes, dabbed on some blush, and painted her lips with juicy gloss!</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750587249442SnapInsta.to_503400003_18367744183182383_2720092524038829580_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Signature Clean Beauty</strong></div><p>As much as we love seeing Kai deliver jaw-dropping beauty looks, she also has a signature makeup and hairstyling approach that makes us want to copy it and pin it to our Pinterest boards. Her long, silky hair and monochromatic hues perfectly emphasize her natural God-given features.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750587323782SnapInsta.to_472285690_18349818544182383_2590251820053135949_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Full-On Glam</strong></div><p>Kai’s beauty influence wouldn’t be complete without her full-glam extravagance. She literally resembles an angel that just descended from the clouds! And in her &#x27;Kai Turns 18&#x27; look? She looked like she was about to slay the role of a rich and gorgeous K-drama protagonist!</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750587381741SnapInsta.to_470495712_18347104603182383_3642776109927351942_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Filipina Beauty</strong></div><p>We can all collectively agree on Kai’s beauty–porcelain skin, a round yet slim face, and almond-shaped eyes–she reminds us of classic East-Asian beauty. However, Kai is always proud of being a Filipina. She even mentioned during our interview, while preparing for the ABS-CBN Ball 2025, her love for Filipino food. With her undeniable beauty paired with Filipino pride, Kai is truly the new-gen beauty icon to admire and support!</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750587479022SnapInsta.to_495261662_18363849658182383_6393680825879998909_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><em>Photos via </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kaisha.aaa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>@kaisha.aaa</em></a></div>
