The three Filipino personalities share their personal picks for their skincare and makeup regimens
In the world of beauty, secrets are the currency of allure. For a long period of time, the routines of most personalities often remained an enigma to the public, and were often gate kept with the promises of emulating radiant skin and effortless charm. In recent years, prominent figures in the fields of fashion, art, and film have broken this stigma, with stars beginning to share their personal routines through video series such as Vogue’s Beauty Secrets in the early 2010’s or GRWM videos posted through various social platforms.
Taking part in this change, Vogue Philippines unveiled its first formal YouTube series with Vogue Beauty, starring Megan Young, Hannah Pangilinan, and Angelina Cruz for its first three episodes. Below is a curated selection of beauty products they personally use on a daily basis, helping them achieve newfound confidence as they enter their “#RadiantGirlEra.”
Megan Young
As a former beauty queen, Megan’s skincare regimen is meticulously curated to maintain her skin’s health as a result of all the heavy makeup she had to apply during her beauty queen era. Prioritizing healthy skin is essential for Megan as a base for makeup, allowing her makeup to blend seamlessly because of how well-conditioned her skin is throughout years of maintaining its health. Below is a list of her top beauty essentials that help her undo her makeup and the steps she follows to care for her skin after a day of shoots and appearances.
Megan begins her routine gently rinsing and lathering her face using a facial foam to help remove thick layers of makeup. She follows this up with the use of MEDIHEAL Collagen Ampoule toner pads to help improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of uneven skin throughout her face.
Hydration is an important aspect of Megan’s skincare routine and is one of the reasons she uses Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream that maintains the skin’s moisture barrier for longer periods of time. Apart from this, she’s also been refilling her Kiehl’s jar of facial cream for years in an effort to remain environmentally friendly and reduce waste while maintaining her skin.
To end her night skincare routine, Megan applies skincare for her underarms too with the Dove Radiant + Care Deo Serum which she uses to address damage caused by shaving. She mentions its ability to help her achieve radiant & nourished underarms with its 3% Niacinamide and Collagen formula, allowing her to be more confident to raise her underarms and making it an indispensable part of her beauty ritual.
Hannah Pangilinan
As both a content creator and an active runner, Hannah Pangilinan’s approach to beauty is as dynamic and vibrant as her personality. Her skincare and makeup regimen balances simplicity with effectiveness, allowing her to religiously follow her beauty routines on a daily basis to the point where she swears she can “do it with her eyes closed.” Here is a list of her top beauty picks:
Hannah mentions in her GRWM that she uses the Sunnies Dream Cream to address her issues with dry skin and eczema, as it helps her moisturize and hydrate her skin throughout the day. As the first step in her makeup routine, she uses the K-Palette 1Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyebrow, favoring it over other brow products due to both its precision and how it gives her natural definition across her brows.
After her skincare routine for her face, Hannah applies skincare on her underarms to achieve radiant & smooth skin. Hannah uses the purple variant of the Dove Radiant + Care Deodorant Serum range formulated with 3% Niacinamide and Omega6. She mentions that the deodorant is ideal for addressing her chicken skin, on top of keeping her underarms protected from sweat & odor, allowing her to confidently raise her underarms especially during her workouts.
Lastly, Hannah considers the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer as a personal favorite among all the other bronzers she has tried.
Angelina Cruz
As a rising actress in film, Angelina Cruz tries to maintain a youthful, pearly-skinned look for her daily skincare routine. Her beauty regimen caters toward maintaining an even-toned, luminous complexion fit for events, tapings, and casual nights out. Here are the top four products she swears by:
“Getting familiar with my own skincare routine has really helped me bring out the confidence within me,” she says. A staple in her look, Angelina lines her brows using the Strokes Microblade Pen Perfector to help define her natural-looking brows. A discovery she found on TikTok, she uses the Glossier Mascara for its ability to hold her lashes well no matter the event or occasion.
Angelina uses this deodorant not only to protect her from sweat and odor, but also to complete her signature pearly-skin look beyond the skin on her face. The deo is formulated with 3% Niacinamide and Vitamin C&E to help her achieve radiant & even-toned underarms, addressing her insecurity of hyperpigmentation and stubborn dark spots.
The Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette is mentioned as a holy grail product in her routine, which she uses as both a blush and highlighter as well. Directly inspired by the Maison’s runway shows, the series of eyeshadows contains nine different shades that she uses for a diverse number of looks, ranging from matte, to pearlescent, metallic, and holographic or glittery finishes.
