If you frequent the sites of beauty bloggers and bloggers both in Instagram (follow me at @jesroque) and Youtube, then probably you have, at least once, been swayed to purchase and try out the products they love and rave about. I have a few Instagram/Youtube-made-me-buy-these stories behind the products I currently have, all thanks to online sellers and my relati…
Read more"Is strobing just highlighting?" This question baffled me for the longest time until I decided to research on it. Being a non-professional in the field is disadvantageous when it comes to terminologies, I tell you. All I knew before was that they do the same thing -- accentuate the highest points of the face.

Read moreThe cushion compacts have been a craze for while now but it took me a while to join the bandwagon. I have a few in my stash already but I never had that urge to write about it.

Read moreDefining the face to accentuate one's features has been a necessity that it has presented itself in various forms. I am pretty sure you have heard about and tried strobing or upping up the highlighting game on the areas where light would naturally hit the face. Draping, or the use of two complementary cheek blushes to drape the the facial angles, is slowly ente…
Read moreJust a couple of weeks ago, my brows, the way I do it and the way it look, garnered a fair share of hates in a site. It wasn't directly coursed to me but I read comments like, "Halika dito 'te. Kikilayan kita!" ("Come. I'll do your brows!"), "Ugly brows." and tons of negative ones.

Read moreWhen I was starting playing with makeup, it was the eyeliner part that I dreaded the most. The first one I got back then, well that was roughly 7 years ago, was a dip type. It was a struggle, I tell you. The brush felt stiff and the application was a horror. I couldn't seem to find the best way to use it. That thing between me and dip liners ran for n number o…
