Celebrities like Heart Evangelista often rely on a dedicated style and glam team to create stunning looks for events.

However, Heart takes pride in her ability to do her own make-up with skill and confidence.

This was one of the topics during her interview with the press, including PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), on November 22, 2024, at her launch as GRWM Cosmetics’ new endorser.

The Kapuso star recalled, “Before when we started, I used to do noontime shows and variety shows.

“We didn’t have glam teams. We did our own hair and make-up. And we would be, supposed to be on stage 9:30 [a.m.] for rehearsals.

“Tapos diretsong live na yun.”

HEART EVANGELISTA’S 15-MINUTE MAKE-UP TRICK

Heart has mastered her make-up techniques through years of practice and with the right products and tools.

When asked how long it takes her to complete a simple make-up look, Heart revealed, “On my own, super fast. I think in like 10 to 15 minutes, I can finish my make-up.”

She added, “So, I’m very fast actually. So, easy lang. Basta nasa akin yung mga tamang make-up, wala akong problema.”

By saying “tamang make-up,” she emphasized the efficiency of multi-purpose products.

A customizable palette, for instance, can include all essential makeup products in one convenient package.

She said, “Ang maganda dito is because you can really design your own palette.

“So for me, ang pinakauna ko sigurong ide-design would be something that’s for everyday use, like a nice shimmer, a nice cool tone, or maybe like a nice parang puwedeng contour, puwedeng sa mata.

“Like an all-around palette. I would definitely go for something more classic and natural. But, of course, pagdating sa gabi, you can do it with a smoky eye. Nothing that a black liner can fix.”

HEART EVANGELISTA: SKIN CARE

Beyond selecting the right products, Heart emphasized the importance of skincare, noting that clear, healthy skin should always be the top priority.

A well-nourished complexion creates the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application.

When asked about her skin-care routine, Heart said it begins with getting enough sleep.

“Definitely you have to sleep as much as you can. And I’m so busy, but I make sure that I really have at least minimum six hours. But if makaka-eight ako, even better.

“So sometimes, pag may trabaho kami, understood by nine o’clock, dapat nasa kama na ako. Nine, nine-thirty [p.m.], magpapamasahe ako. Tulog na dapat ako noon. Because I’m up at four a.m.

“So yun talaga, so you need sleep.”

Hydration is essential—not just on the surface, but from within as well.

For Heart, something as simple as drinking water and using moisturizer make a significant difference.

“You need to drink lots of water. And then, I really make sure that I moisturize my face. I have the toner, I have the serum, I have the oil-base. Everything.

“I don’t do a lot of layers, but I make sure that every night, kahit pagod ako, kahit maka-one layer ako, lahat ikakalat ko pati yung neck and everything. So yun talaga yung pinakamagandang prep.

“Because the next day, when you do your make-up, it won’t sit as perfectly if you didn’t, you know, have nice skin or dry yung skin mo or too oily. So yun siguro talaga yung importante.”

In addition, maintaining a positive mindset and surrounding oneself with uplifting vibes contribute to a person’s natural glow.

“Kahit anong ganda mo, kung hindi ka masaya, hindi din talaga [lalabas]. Yun naman yun talaga.”

Heart ended, “It really matters. When you’re at peace and you’re happy, kahit anong lagay mo pati, it… just glows. So that’s important.”
