With seven years spent doing makeup for models, brides, and celebrities, Johnson Estrella knows how to bring out anyone's natural glow.

I usually ask my client what they prefer and if they have brought their own personal lipstick [to match with] what they are wearing, of course, their skin tone, [and] if the event is outdoors or indoors. I only suggest lip shades if and when I am asked.

Sometimes, some clients do not like full makeup and just prefer lipsticks. There are also the shape of lips to be considered, if thin or full, upwards or downwards, small or large lips, etc.  

For fair-skinned, the nude shade natural look is always a winner—not too much red shade but a hint of red and pink blended, achieving peach and red.

For tanned skinned, more like autumn leaves, brown to chestnut brown blended with nude shades works to achieve a caramel look.   

Again, it depends on the client's preference, and if I am asked for advice without compromising the client's choices, we will agree to find a way to incorporate each other's ideas.

Red is the universal favourite colour and can be blended with different shades.

Juan Sarte has been the go-to makeup artist of many esteemed personalities and celebrities, including Alice Eduardo, Vicki Belo, Hidilyn Diaz, and Lea Salonga, for 28 years.

Your lip shade should be your signature. There are no rules with colour. It’s a matter of preference. Find what you think looks best on you and own it.

For 12 years, many have turned to Ria Aquino's talents to achieve the chic glam look when needed.

You can really wear whatever shade you feel that's great on you. As a general rule, fair skin ladies look great in pinks and reds with orange undertones, whereas tanned skin ladies look great with peachy, coral and brown hues, as well as red with bluish undertones.

Justine Navato, a makeup artist of 8 years who has constantly worked with Pia Wurtzbach, truly knows how to highlight one's best features.

Top of mind, these are my go-to shades for every skin tone:

Fair-skin—muted pink, bright reds. 

Tanned skin—mauve, rosewood, and brick red.

However, these days products have greatly improved, so much so that one lipstick shade can complement every skin tone. Feel free to experiment with different colours no matter what your skin tone is.
