I heard that line again, “How long does it take to make a good impression?” Two seconds and 55% of how people will judge you is based on your physical appearance (very vain but so true!) Even in law school we were strongly adviced that ”looks/image” matter especially in court.

On a daily basis taking into account I was brought up by “vanidosas” but not excessive “amour propre” mind you, the day starts with the usual personal hygeine..makeup was put to a minimum but its a “sin” to go out without fixing oneself even if you’re just going out to buy stuff (like pandesal haha!)

Artistry by Amway held an early Saturday Beauty Clinic for the “kikay” online community led by the brand’s chief make-up artist Victor Ortega. The beauty mentor shared some of his most makeup secrets and we tried our makeup skills (yup, like pre-school kids in art class haha!)keeping in mind what Victor has lectured with an array of fabulous Artistry products.

“To reconcile these cosmetic innovations with natural beauty..Artistry Colour provides discerning women the chance to flaunt their inherent and unique traits while keeping up with today’s way of living,” says Victor.

I do agree, their line magically blends giving an au naturel look and feel (their foundation gives great cover without the pasted on look and feel). I so love their makeup remover (not harsh and unscented), lipstick and their waterproof mascara and lipgloss of which I do wear now whenever I go out.

“The modern concept of beauty is not aimed towards vanity’s sake. It is about having a radiant physical appearance that brings out the beauty from within. It does not merely depend on applying creams or putting on make-up, but knowing oneself, being attuned with your own skin and knowing what products suit you,” says Jane Lapuz, Artistry Product Specialist.

Well, being vain is not a sin as long as it compliments your beauty from the inside..yet again, no makeup line can cover up lack of inner beauty.

Cheers and Godbless1 =]
