You&#x27;re not pressured into wearing trends you&#x27;re not into, and you&#x27;ve taken time to get to know your skin, your personal taste, and what works. This is beauty that lights up. It all begins with good skincare practices, then following it up with a doable makeup routine that need not break the bank.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/4783b3aa-7900-4190-b2ab-19be37f0cf4e_screen shot 2024-04-02 at 11.20.07 am.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Beauty is Personal</strong></div><p>We are each blessed with unique looks, and in this day and age, embracing our imperfections (along with our assets) is key. So this means a beauty routine isn&#x27;t one-size-fits-all either. As we journey through the years in our beauty routines, things shift and change as we adapt to our skin&#x27;s needs. We get to know what ingredients work and what doesn&#x27;t, what brands flatter us and what we should stay away from, and we also find joy in the middle of it all. Beauty shouldn&#x27;t just be personal, it should also be fun!</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/fec9a515-5189-428f-bd58-6223dafde03b_screen shot 2024-04-02 at 2.48.40 pm.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Step 1: SKINCARE—Simplify to Amplify</strong></div><p>Skinimalism is in. Gone are the days where we give so much effort into injecting 12 to 15 steps into our routines because let&#x27;s face it, it&#x27;s not really sustainable. A simple AM routine would involve a cleanser, toner, serum, and sunscreen, while a PM routine would include makeup remover, cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer. This is basic and very doable, and with affordable options out in the market today, there&#x27;s really no excuse to not give your skin the TLC it deserves.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/b8f2e96c-cbed-4e2e-adb3-a08ae41e0ee2_screen shot 2024-04-02 at 2.50.51 pm.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/0bd8c827-35e8-4953-8e56-ce6c81ab7bd7_screen shot 2024-04-02 at 2.51.25 pm.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Step 2: Find a makeup routine that works for YOU!</strong></div><p>As for makeup, the fun part, it&#x27;s the part where we can truly express ourselves and have fun with beauty. Each one of us has a different beauty persona, and we&#x27;re not here to dictate what you should look like, but do keep in mind that depending on the occasion, there are certain key products you must always have in mind:</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/47a4d03c-dfb8-40cc-bfac-9ba53586a050_screen shot 2024-04-02 at 2.51.56 pm.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/dcb30ecf-fed9-431d-ab35-eb8b298a448c_screen shot 2024-04-02 at 2.52.05 pm.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>The Clocheflame girls gave us some key points to remember: </p><ul><li><strong>Know your purpose</strong> - Where are you going? What message would you like to convey?</li><li><strong>Aim to enhance your natural beauty</strong> - Makeup is meant to enhance, not cover our faces up to the point that we&#x27;re unrecognizable. Know your assets and play them up, and don&#x27;t allow imperfections to dampen your confidence.</li><li><strong>Bring a small makeup bag</strong> - This is a no-brainer for beauty girlies who want to travel light yet still want to have everything they need with them. Our favorite? Clocheflame&#x27;s Cloche Case. So obsessed! Shop <a href="https://shopee.ph/Clocheflame-Cloche-Case-Makeup-Pouch-and-Beauty-Bag--i.378349198.10769575599" target="_blank">here</a>.</li><li><strong>Come up with an efficient routine</strong> - Time is of the essence for most of us, especially us working girlies. While we enjoy doing our makeup, it shouldn&#x27;t take up a huge chunk of time in our day. Practice on your days off, and stick to that! </li><li><strong>Comfort is key</strong> - Makeup should make you feel confident in your own skin, and should not be a source of stress throughout the day. If you find that you have to keep retouching or re-applying certain products, perhaps it&#x27;s time to make the switch. </li></ul><br/><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/d6003055-5985-4cf0-9f08-4c47759c2386_screen shot 2024-04-02 at 3.45.19 pm.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Clocheflame Cloche Case</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/3f182d7b-32e5-457d-9865-059f7fb9167c_screen shot 2024-04-02 at 2.52.39 pm.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Shop Clocheflame <a href="https://shopee.ph/clocheflameofficial" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/metro-office-takeover-leg-2-resorts-world/37752" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Check Out What Happened at the 2nd Metro Office Takeover!</a></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/metro-office-takeover-leg-1-ortigas-land/37677" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here&#x27;s What Went Down at the First Metro Office Takeover</a></div>
