It goes without saying that Janine Gutierrez is absolutely gorgeous—something the Calyxta Crew has been squealing about since our cover shoot and are stunned by whenever her photo comes up on our feeds. There’s something about her fresh-faced, doe-eyed beauty that effortlessly catches your eye, making you both astounded and gut-gurglingly envious at the same time. Luckily for us mere mortals, the invention of makeup has given us a superpower (ala “Ding, ang bato!”) to feel the best as we can feel while gaining inspiration from our favorite celebrities.

1. Overall, this look is very simple. What really takes the cake is her flawless skin, and we know that a flawless face starts with a flawless base! Control excess sebum and help your foundation apply smoothly by using a primer. For this, we recommend the Prime Primer Sun from Banila Co. as it helps keep oil at bay all while protecting your skin from the sun! It’s also lightweight, which helps keep you from feeling like you’re wearing too much while keeping the makeup from slipping off throughout the day. Two thumbs up for this 2-in-1 product!

3. One of the main focal points in this look is the bright, shimmery inner corner of the eye. To really get that twinkle, we need to make sure that our canvas is as evenly colored as possible. The Pink Sugar Our Lil’ Secret Concealer 2 has much of the same power of its predecessor, though improved upon with a doe foot applicator and a much more blendable, hydrating formula—making it more suitable for under the eyes. Swipe on a lighter shade and watch those dark circles go bye-bye!

5. Another cult-fave that we highly recommend is Glossier’s Boy Brow. Now, Janine Gutierrez was gifted with naturally thick brows, so getting this bushy brow look is definitely easier for her to achieve. But don’t get disheartened! What makes Boy Brow so great is that its formula clings to the strands that your momma gave you and exemplifies them to the nth degree. It helps to fill in and fluff your brows, and its tiny tapered applicator helps you shape your brows the way you like—all without that gel-stiff finish!

7. As the product name suggests, we’re going for a very lightly toasted swipe of eyeshadow—extra emphasis on the “lightly.” Janine has deep set eyes, giving her a natural shadow already. To get her look, accentuate and define your creases with a tan to light brown shade (depending on your skin tone) from the palette, bringing the pigment to the whole lid with more concentration on the creases. Then, take one of the lighter shimmer shades and apply it generously to the inner corners, spreading it lightly until the center of the lid. Sweep some below your eye to your water line and don’t be afraid to pack on the shimmer.

9. Cathy Doll’s contour kit is such a steal with its complete line of contour, highlight, and blush, so you must be wondering why we don’t just use the highlight from the palette, right? Well, while Cathy Doll’s Cleopatra’s Secret kit gives us a pretty pinkish glean, we want to push it even further. If you really want to get Janine’s wet-looking luminescence, then we’re going to have to double up. Layer the Detail Makeover Baked Highlighter on top of the Cathy Doll Cleopatra’s Secret highlighter for a one-two-punch of brilliant shine! What this white highlighter traded for color, it gained in vibrance, which is perfect for accentuating this pinkish bronze flush. Apply this highlight to the highest point of your cheekbones, brow bone, forehead, nose, chin, and cupid’s bow. Accentuate the inner corner even further and take some highlight onto your fingertip then tap! Glow get ‘em, sis!

11.  The Pro Studio Primer Water may be called a primer, but it can be used as setting spray and a facial mist as well. Generously spritz over your finished look to lock it in and show off that glow!
