To be a make-up artist is one of my secret wishes (and I guess it’s no longer secret at this point). I think there’s a fascinating art to looking good and the ability to transform a face with make-up is magic in itself.
I attended a dinner-cum-mini beauty workshop hosted by Dove last week and one of the first lessons taught was for women to have good skin before one can have truly great make-up. And one word came up in the discussion several times that I promised it will be my mantra: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
I can’t fault Dove for selling the idea to me since they are a leading moisturizer brand. It’s an institution in itself and Dove’s white beauty bar was one of the first products I discovered to leave me smelling real good 
To prove that Dove is not just a woman’s turf (there is Dove Men after all), the brand’s product manager in the Philippines is a guy. Meet Gem Laforteza.
After his short talk was the main part of our little get-together which was a tutorial + demo on how to achieve the “no make-up” look (while still using make-up!) with popular make-up artist Xeng Zulueta.
This should be good if you’re a beauty enthusiast who would like to step up your BB cream regimen, or want to try it for the first time. Like what happened with me, it’s guaranteed to give your skin the healthy glow!
