Filipina Inspiration

Hi all! Today I want to talk about the application of makeup in the Philippines, compared to the application here in America. Lately, I've been obsessing over how beautiful the celebrities look! Like always, I've composed a list of the Filipina makeup trends.

1. Contacts. Although this is not makeup, contacts are a part of someone's look.

Filipino celebrity flaunt colored contacts and it's starting to become an everyday accessory. In America, most people rock their natural eye color.

2. Brows. Lately the fashion trends are full and filled-in brows. Filipino and American makeup artists follow the trend, but each have a specific style. Filipino brows are full and straight. It automatically gives an innocent look to one's face. American artists are more prominent in high arcs.

3. Contour. In the Philippines, face contour is used for a tiny bit of warmth in the skin, but the nose is precisely contoured! Instead of plastic surgery, the contour is strong to make the nose appear skinny and lifted. In America, skinny noses are not as important and it's used for bringing out the cheekbones.

4. Skin finish.  From what I see, Filipinas love fair skin and dewy finishes. It's like they prefer a healthy glow.

As you can see, there are many comparisons in these pictures of filipina celebrities. I'm not saying filipina celebrities have ALL these specific trends in their makeup look, but you will definitely catch one or two!

Which is your favorite filipina makeup trend?

Always,
Kristel.
