Master the No Makeup Look with L'Oreal

We interrupt regular programming with the latest from L'Oreal.

Yesterday, my cousin and I had the privilege of being invited to L'Oreal's No Makeup Look Workshop. 

This is Ms. Verna Marin, Chief MUA of L'Oreal Philippines. We learned a lot from her. I really enjoy attending these kinds of workshops to further my craft. 



Joining her is Tere, our model for the day. Hi Tere if you are reading this!






Ms. Verna did all the works on Tere but in the end, she looked effortless and pretty, the perfect no makeup look.

Of course we all know that we need to cleanse, tone and moisturize our skin. The next step is priming. She used this new product from L'Oreal, which I will discuss more in another post, to prep Tere's face. She then followed it up with a foundation and concealer. L'Oreal's foundation is number 1 in the world and for good reason. I tried their True Match foundation and it was love at first try. I will discuss this product more in another post too. 



She showed us how easy it is to fix our kilay (eyebrows). You don't need to stress about it and you certainly don't need to spend an hour fixing your brows. First, brush your eyebrows. Then follow your natural shape and fill in the sparse areas. Brush with an eyebrow comb or spoolie again and you are ready to go. L'Oreal offers excellent eyebrow products. My cousin even got one. 

When you are doing the no makeup look, contouring is a no-no. You only need a good highlighter. Just dab on the areas where the light naturally hits your face such as your cheekbones and the tops of your brows. L'Oreal concealers are very versatile. If you get the lighter shades, they can double as highlighters. 

For the eyes, just one color of  eyeshadow will do. I know many women are intimidated by eyeshadows. With this look, you only need one.  You can choose from different eyeshadow palettes from any L'Oreal counter. You can easily go from day to night with these babies. 

For the blush, just apply blush on the apples of your cheeks. Don't put any across your nose as this looks fake/trying hard. 

According to Ms. Verna, for the lips, just go 2 shades darker than your lip color if you are ever unsure of what to use/buy. These are the most flattering for you. If you are using shades that can bleed out, use the new L'Oreal crayon concealer to prevent this. Apply a small amount on the areas where lipstick usually bleeds out. 

I learned a lot from Ms. Verna. She even gave tips about makeup brushes, types of concealers and more. 

I fell in love with L'Oreal makeup just a few months ago starting with the True Match foundation. This is my favorite drugstore brand, hands down. I am excited to explore more of their products in the coming days. 





The No Makeup Look is easy. You don't need to be an expert. If you need some help and tips, just approach any of the beauty experts at L'Oreal in Beauty by SM Makati and they will be happy to give you a free makeover or give you tips that you can use for your everyday makeup. 

Thank you Ms. Verna for this wonderful workshop and thank you L'Oreal PH for making us part of this event!

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
