We’re ending the year with a bang as Calyxta’s December cover girls are just some of the most striking beauties to grace the site’s pages. Good looks aren’t the only thing these ladies have though, but outstanding talent and dedication for what they love doing. Hey, they’re Calyxta Girls after all!
In the fast-paced and cutthroat world of fashion and design, it takes a lot of guts and drive to get yourself to the top, and that’s exactly what Amina’s achieved. Co-founder of the country’s first ever design college, SoFA (School of Fashion and the Arts), Amina has mastered the art of elegant life balance. Aside from being a SoFA faculty member, she still remains busy designing for her self-named lifestyle and accessories brand, Aranaz, and being a loving mom to three children. Currently, her luxury designs are available in Power Plant, Greenbelt 5, SM Megamall, and most recently, Rustan’s Alabang. You can even find them in retailers around the globe, like Takashimaya, Selfridges, and Anthropologie just to name a few. Earlier this year, the brand collaborated with Plains and Prints to release a more affordable, but just as gorgeous capsule collection for the masses that included bags and other fashion pieces.
Amina isn’t one to shy away from a bold lip when the occasion calls for it. As a legit #bosslady, why should she? Mimic her confident pout with a classic, universally flattering red like L’Oreal’s Infallible Pro-Matte Liquid Lipstick (P299) in “Matador“. Or go a bit more vampy and sultry with Skin by John Robert Powers Moisturizing Lip Color (P250) in “Evening Plum“.
Even describing this 2016 Calyxta cover girl as “ridiculously talented” still seems like a bit of an understatement. After all, not just anyone can open a concert for Chance The Rapper, which she did just last August. A year ago, she dropped the first song from her highly-anticipated mix tape, “JCON“, and the song, “Turn Me Down,” reached a whopping one million plays on Spotify. An ever-growing artist, Jess is also famous for her unique and keen sense of fashion, modeling pieces from Gucci, Maharishi, and Gosha Rubchinskiy for an editorial in 2017 with photographer Mark Nicdao behind the lens. A couple of months ago, her music video, “On My Way Up“, debuted on Billboard and featured a funky and heavy vintage-esque theme. As you’re reading this, she’s already wrapped up her recent US tour with LA-based DJ, Noodles.
No matter if she’s at a gig or traveling the world, Jess always seems to sport impeccable brows that anyone would be envious of. Use Rimmel’s Brow This Way Sculpting Kit (P350) to shape and fill in brows, applying the lighter shade from the inner corner of your brows to the middle (arch) and the darker shade from the middle outwards. Keep your brows groomed and in place all day by finishing off with the Pop Beauty Insta-Brow Sealer Brow Gel (P350).
I’m sure many of us pretended to be beauty queens as little girls and dreamed of winning such a title. Well, perpetually, drop-dead beautiful Megan Young did just that in 2013 by being crowned Miss World. The first Pinay to do so! Of course, Megan hasn’t only been keeping idle since her big win. Quite the opposite. She’s hosted subsequent Miss World events and starred in a slew of TV shows. Early this year, she showed off her impressive acting chops yet again, alongside Katrina Halili for the drama, “The Stepdaughters.” If you’re a frequent mall visitor, you’ve more than likely seen Megan modeling for Bench, too. As quite the health and fitness buff herself, who better to show off their quality, athletic wear?
As a former beauty queen, Megan’s got a lot to flaunt, including her would-kill-for-it complexion and lengthy, lush lashes. Getting Miss World-worthy features aren’t a total impossibility though, not with the right products on hand. The Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation + Concealer (P540) is all you need to cover up redness, dark circles, and practically any blemish in sight. Its full coverage formula is also water resistant for hours of wear. Don’t forget to coat your lashes with Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Big Eyes Bloom Mascara (P244) too, for instantly fuller, flirtier eyelashes.
