Applying makeup is fun when you’ve mastered the right blend for your foundation. Prepping your skin will ensure that your makeup will look smooth and will last all day long. Here are 5 tips to prepare your skin for makeup application and achieve a flawless and even finish: 

1. Start with a clean skin. Before applying your makeup, make sure to wash your face to remove all the dirt, oil, and impurities from the surface of your skin. Cleansing helps maintain pore size and helps create a supple-looking and healthy skin. 

2. Apply toner.  Applying a toner can help remove and knock out any remaining impurities from the surface of your skin. Toners also help clear blemishes, unclog pores, and reduce excess oils on your skin. Applying toner before moisturizing will result in a smooth, plump complexion that will make your makeup better-looking. 

3. Don’t forget to apply serum, too. Serums are super-concentrated, nutrient-dense treatments that address specific concerns of your skin. Applying serum can brighten and soothe irritated skin. 

4. Boost your hydration. The next step in your list is moisturizing while your skin is still damp from cleansing and toning. Moisturizers help brighten and soften the skin and make your foundation and concealer application easier. 

5.Begin with primer. A primer can help create a smooth base for your makeup application as well as to help extend the wear of your foundation, concealer, and more. For girls with dry skin, try Careline Skin Primer Mask Watermelon Moisturizing Sheet Mask to hydrate and smoothen your skin. It is formulated with hyaluronic acid which helps increase skin moisture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while its watermelon extract helps improve skin pigmentation and reduce skin inflammation. Careline Skin Primer Mask Lemon Brightening Sheet Mask is also formulated with hyaluronic acid combined with vitamin C to even out skin tone and enhance skin radiance. This primer mask will help prevent oily skin while lightening your face’s dark spots and blemishes. After applying primer, you’re officially prepped to put on makeup as you normally would.

Once a woman ignites the fire within, she can do whatever she puts her mind to. Add a seductive scent to her arsenal, and she’s bound to be an unstoppable force.

In celebration of its 43rd anniversary in the Philippines, Avon is unveiling the newest addition to Imari—the original line of sensual fragrances—with Imari Rouge, its most daring fragrance to date. Each spray is designed to elevate one’s sensuality and pushes you to go after what you want with an unquestionable attitude and drive.

Exploring how sensuality can help anyone go after what they want – whether they’re braving it outdoors or staying at home – Avon asked 43 #EnrougedEmpowered Filipinas how they feel confident and formidable. The answers vary, but all go back to five recurring points. Here are the best ones:

Captivate with the Power of Fragrance

Model and beauty queen, Billie Hakenson, says spraying on perfume “is like the cherry on top; the final piece that completes a look. It's an instant confidence booster!” Lifestyle journalist Myrza Sison agrees, “Spraying it on can be like wearing armor — it may be psychological, but it makes me feel bold enough to face the world when I need to conquer it.”

That’s the allure of Avon’s signature perfume collection, Imari, which is adding another irresistible scent with the Imari Rouge. Every spray carries the opulence of a bouquet of roses, the quintessential boldness of red lipstick, and the unquestionable strength to pursue the biggest of goals.

This Chypre-Oriental fragrance greets with top notes made from rich Mandarin, dainty Pink Peppercorn, and Upcycled Apple Oil. The scent later reveals a soulful mix of Rose, Iris, and Peach Accord. Finally, you’ll be taken through irresistible and subversive base notes made from Indonesian Patchouli, Benzoin, and warm notes of Vanilla.

“A perfume is like a magic potion. The fragrance I wear instantly affects my mood and attitude - sexy, sweet, powerful, persuasive, or playful,” shares National Directress for Miss Trans Global PH, Janlee Dungca, “it's the secret ingredient to nailing what needs to be done.”

Get More Intimate with Apparel that actually fits

“Wear the right bra size, ladies. You won’t believe how many outfits made me feel more confident to wear since I adjusted my intimate apparel,” advises Mitch Carvalho, who works as a marketing manager and mommy blogger.

A study shared by Huffpost reports 64 percent of women are wearing the wrong bra size, with 29 percent knowing they’re in that apparel apathy.

Show your Colors with bold makeup

“I swipe on a very bold color on my lips whenever I need extra confidence, and it works every time,” swears fashion editor and stylist, Bianca Santiago. “People can feed off your amazing energy when you look and feel that you’re at your best.”

Dubbed the Lipstick effect, putting on your makeup does make you feel smarter, happier, and more confident – as concluded by a study by Harvard Medical school.

Hear what you want to feel

Radio and events host Gianna Llanes shares, “I always have a playlist ready when I’m a bit down and just want to be in-tune with myself. Puts me right back in the right mindset to accomplish things.”

This theory was proven through a study from the Rotman Research institute who confirmed that when you listen to music that you like, it triggers a surge of dopamine, a “happy” chemical our body produces when we feel we accomplished something.

Taste the Dark Chocolate-y Truth

“Buy yourself a box of chocolates—the darker the better,” exclaims Chinx Esguerra, who runs a cake business during the day and works as a broker at night. “If you don’t want to share with anyone at home, that’s okay too. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself.”

Chocolate contains mood boosters and mild stimulants, and that is why it’s been dubbed as “Food of the Gods”. And the darker the variant is, the more health benefits you’ll get.

Own Your Inner Vixen

For 43 years, Avon has continued to empower modern Filipinas so they can go after what they want and take their spot at the table. With just a spray of the Imari Rouge, women who want to explore their sensuality can use its irresistible scent to inspire confidence, allure, and attraction.

“Shatter the standards and step out of the mold,” shares Anjie Nandwani, Global Brand Manager for Avon Fragrances. “Women need to be unapologetic about who they are and take up space in all fields.”

“Skin rejuvenation” is a very popular term for skincare products that give life to dull and dry skin. However, the common notion is that a “rejuv” can be painful, intense and even dangerous because of the harsh chemicals that they contain, often resulting in red, sore and peeling skin. The truth is, rejuvenating one’s skin can be painless and safe. Hello Glow Advanced Rejuvenating Set is a complete blend of high-tech active ingredients that work to give your skin the glow and refreshed look, the safe and natural way.

The Hello Glow Advanced Rejuvenating Set comes with Low pH Hydrating Cleanser, Get Bright Toner, Ultralight ++ Matte Sunscreen with SF 30, and the Nourishing Night cream. Hello Glow uses professionally compounded active ingredients like AHA’s, PHA’s, Bakuchiol, Niacinamide, and Micro-encapsulated Retinol to effectively rejuvenate skin, balanced with Hexylresorcinol, Centella Asiatica, Ceramides, and Hyaluronic Acid to prevent irritation that aims to improve and clarify skin texture, unclog pores, and treat acne. Safe for all skin types, great for dry, normal, combination, and oily skin!  

So how does one safely rejuvenate the skin? Here are some safe and painless steps to achieve that rejuvenated, youthful and glowing complexion:

It’s important to wash your face daily with cleanser to exfoliate dirt that you may have accumulated. So, first things first, wet your face and apply the Low pH Hydrating Cleanser in slow and circular motions. Leave for two to three minutes before rinsing then pat your face dry. 

Next, apply the Get Bright Toner on every corner of your face with a cotton pad to help soak up oil and remove dirt from your skin. 

Third, apply the Ultralight ++ Matte Sunscreen with SF 30, at least fifteen minutes before you go outside to make sure that your skin absorbs the ingredients. This oil-free moisturizer comes in a gel form that is easily absorbed by the skin and it dries matte without any white cast or greasiness, perfectly comfortable to use under makeup.

Lastly, apply a pea sized amount of the Nourishing Night Cream to your face up to the base of your neck. Make sure to do these daily before bedtime so you can wake up with a skin that feels fresh and moisturized!

Get that healthy glowing skin with these simple and safe steps with Hello Glow Advanced Rejuvenating Set for an affordable price of PHP 360, available on Hello Glow’s official store page on Lazada and Shopee! Also available in Watsons and all other leading departments and supermarket stores nationwide.
