Anything sparkly, shiny, and bright has the ability to get one into a festive mood. Now that we are well into the Ber months with holidays fast approaching, we should allow ourselves to enjoy the season—even more so during these very trying times—while it lasts.
Blythe Cosmetics by Careline helps give you that boost to perk you up, give you confidence, or simply get you into the holiday spirit with these fun make-up hacks you can try using the Blythe Stardust Highlighter Palette (P275):
As an eye make-up
While highlighters are known to be applied on the high points of the face such as the cheeks, bridge, and tips of the nose, and cupid’s bow, it can also be used to make your eye make-up stand out even more! Apply your preferred Stardust Palette shade above and below the eyebrows to enhance the shape of the brows and accentuate the eyes and face. You can also dust on the corners of the eyes to open them up and make them appear bigger and brighter.
As a concealer
Did you know that you can also use highlighters to cover the dark circles of the eyes? To achieve this, go for the pearly white shade or pinkish tone in the palette and dab under the eyes; then apply your favorite concealer on top of it and blend into the skin to make it look seamless.
On the lips
On the days you get to expose your lips, be sure to make it stand out by dabbing it on before or after you apply your gloss or lipstick. Also, apply some on the cupid’s bow to give the illusion of a plumper lip.
On the skin
If you feel as if your skin looks dull and pale lately, a quick application of highlighter on the skin can easily make it look healthy and fresh. You can mix it with your favorite lotion or moisturizer or you can directly apply it on your collarbones, décolleté, shoulder, and arms. You’ll surely dazzle when the sun hits your skin!
Bring a sparkle into your life these ber months by trying these highlighter hacks using the Blythe Stardust Highlighter Palette available on Careline’s official Lazada page (bit.ly/BlytheLazada).

Life in lockdown has given us plenty of opportunities to master new skills. If you’re eager to learn but don’t know where to start, why not take a page from Ever Bilena, the country’s leading cosmetics brand, and follow their makeup tips and techniques so you can come out looking young and fresh, post lockdown.
Natural flush
While you can’t get that bronzed skin from an excursion to the beach this summer, you can still achieve a natural flush with the EB Blush Rush or the EB Matte Color Sticks. The EB Blush Rush has a watery-gel consistency with roll-on applicator while the EB Matte Color Stick is creamy matte in its consistency, making both products easy to blend on your cheeks, eyes, and lips.
For a sun-kissed glow, strategically apply on points of the face where the sun hits most, such as the cheeks, nose, and a little above the brows. Blend with your ring finger (remember to thoroughly wash your hands regularly/before applying makeup) to sink the product naturally into the skin.
Upgrade the look by adding faux freckles using brown eyeliner. Before doing so, set your tint with powder then dot your nose and cheeks with the eyeliner. With your ring finger, tap over the top to blend and make it look more natural.
Daytime to nighttime makeup with three basic shades
Eye makeup can be intimidating or overwhelming, especially for beginners. But the great thing about makeup is it allows you to have fun and experiment with different looks. A great product to start with is the basic shades of Ever Bilena’s Chocolate Palette. Apply medium shade brown all over the lid and lower lash line. With your pinkie, press into the lightest color in the palette and apply on to the inner corners to open up the eyes. Take your look from daytime to nighttime by patting on the darkest shade of brown on the outer crease of the eyes and then blend.
Ace these simple makeup techniques to make your everyday look flawless, even while at home, using these products available on Ever Bilena’s official page on Lazada (www.lazada.com.ph). Blush Rush and Color Matte Sticks are sold in bundles in all available shades.

Looking your best every day is definitely a must and the enhanced community quarantine is definitely not an excuse to skip your beauty routine. For those who are working from home and frequently need to attend online meetings, remember that you can skip the fancy skirts and opt for comfy PJs but you definitely can’t put in less effort on your face.
Below are some useful makeup tips to appear smart and crisp for your next Zoom or Facetime meeting:
Look fresh.
You are no longer beating the rush of everyday traffic so the most important tip is to make your skin look healthy and glowing.
To achieve this, apply a small amount of Ever Bilena Pro Flawless Finish Foundation starting from the middle of your face, outwards blending properly using your fingertips or Ever Bilena Blend Me Sponge. This liquid foundation provides full coverage that will give you a flawless finish.
Conceal.
The last thing you would want to look like in your online meeting is tired and sleepless. Cover your dark circles from working overtime or binge-watching your favorite show on Netflix with an ample amount of concealer.
On top of your foundation, apply Ever Bilena Liquid Concealer on the darkest shadows of your eye bags to even out the color of your under eyes. You may also use it to spot conceal your unwanted skin imperfections.
Don’t overdo your eyeshadow.
Look more natural and presentable by going for light or neutral shades. The Ever Bilena Eyeshadow Pink Palette can come in handy as it features six neutral and classic shades that perfectly match your everyday makeup. It is pigmented and blendable for easier application.
Define your eyes.
As much as a perfect shade of eyeshadow does the trick, a gentle swoosh of mascara can also make your eyes look more alive.
Swipe on some EB Advance Lash Define Mascara to visibly define and lengthen your top and bottom lashes with its dual-sided wand and waterproof jet black ink that will definitely make you look awake and more alert.
Add color to your cheeks.
Video calls can make you look pale. Blend a generous amount of Ever Bilena Matte Color Stick over the apples of your cheeks all the way through your cheekbones for a natural-looking flush. The Ever Bilena Matte Color Stick is a multipurpose cream stick that works for the eyes, cheeks, and lips.
Go easy on your lippie.
Be as simple as you can be with your overall makeup including your lippie. Go for neutral shades to make you look more formal. You may use the Ever Bilena Matte Nude Lipsticks that come in six colors to complement your choice of eyeshadow.
After following all these, make sure you sit where there is ample lighting so your workmates can see you clearly. Then, try checking yourself out on your phone or laptop’s camera to see if your makeup appears as desired. If yes, then it’s time to slay that online meeting and impress everyone!

Nothing beats the classic. Highly ideal for any eye shape, the natural eyeliner style is probably one of the easiest to make.

Thick

Another technique that is ideal for those with mono-lids is the thick eyeliner which aims to define the outer corners of the eyes.
Starting with thick lines on the inner corners, gradually add more volume from the middle of the upper lash line to the wings.
Floating Eyeliner or Double Line

This makeup technique has a lot of variations but is most ideal for girls with hooded eyes. Accentuate your eyes even more by going extra on your typical cat-eye.
To achieve this look, draw a thin line from your wing which extends up to your inner crease to create an illusion of bigger lids. Finish off the look with a swoosh of mascara.
Artsy or Cute

This 2019, dare to be different by experimenting with new makeup routines and looks for an upgraded version of you. Let EB Advance, the premier line of Ever Bilena Cosmetics, help you with these simple makeup tips:
Highlight over foundation for skin that glows from within.
The usual step that most follow is to apply primer then foundation. But if you want to achieve natural-looking glowy skin, switch up your makeup routine a bit and brush on EB Advance Glow Out Highlighter (P299) on the high points of your cheeks, bridge of your nose, temples, Cupid’s bow, and chin right after priming.
Dab on your favorite foundation then proceed with the rest of your routine. You can opt to intensify your highlighter by adding another layer after finishing your makeup. You can also use highlighter on your body such as your collarbones, shoulders, and legs for that sun-kissed glow.
Smudge eyeliner for an effortlessly cool smoky eye.
Want to have a subtle glam look but lack the time and skill to do it? A smudged eyeliner will do the trick. It’s easy – simply apply a thick line of EB Advance Eye Define Waterproof Matic Liner (P175) above your upper lash line and use a brush to smudge out your eyeliner.
For your lashes, use EB Advance Lash Define Waterproof Mascara (P205) for an edgy, smoky eye look.
Experiment with colors.
For 2019, it’s all about playing with eyeshadow colors that you don’t normally go for. If you’re the “no makeup, makeup” type, maybe you can try adding a pop of color like the blood red matte or the shade in EB Advance Uncover 2 palette (P395). If you’re the adventurous type who prefers loud colors, this time around maybe you can try the muted, neutral ones.
Leveling up your makeup game for the coming year does not necessarily mean completely altering your usual makeup looks. Making subtle changes or switching up your usual routine automatically upgrades your whole makeup game. These clever products from EB Advance will help you do just that.
