Bea Millan-Windorski

Miss Universe Philippines 2026 Bea Millan-Windorski’s look was a masterclass in evening glam. Millan-Windorski shares with Allure Philippines that she is a “neutral girly through and through,” so she embraced a warm smokey eye look that blends from deep caramel tones in the inner corners into a richer, deeper shadow, masterfully created by makeup artist Jaja Pangilinan.

For her hair, Millan-Windorski turned to her favorite style: a sleek, straight middle part that cascaded effortlessly below the shoulders. “Because it makes me feel like a 90s supermodel,” she says with a smile, with the look brought to life by hairstylist Jonas Lucas.

The beauty queen’s signature yet sophisticated glam keeps us excited for the looks she will bring next as she prepares to represent the Philippines at Miss Universe in Puerto Rico later this year.

Winwyn Marquez

Model, actress, and mother Winwyn Marquez shows us how to master the art of day-to-night beauty. “Funny thing is, I came from my daughter’s activity, we went from the Disney store pa,” she shares with Allure Philippines. 

For Marquez, aside from the versatile polished makeup base, neatly shaped brows, and easy-to-match nude lips, an effortless way to have a more relaxed beauty routine is to go for a low maintenance haircut. 

Marquez, who is embracing her sleek, straight bob, says that a flat iron is all she needed to achieve the look. “I’ve been working with long hair ever since the pageant scene, and it’s time for a new look. How else can we show power? Just chop your hair off,” says Marquez.

Alodia Quimbo

A good, dark smoky eye is a classic that fails no one, even model, cosplayer, and entrepreneur Alodia Quimbo. Take a cue from her deep smoky eye, made even better with a dab of sparkle at the center of the eyelids, you can add more drama by pairing it with full, voluminous lashes.

For the rest of the look, Quimbo keeps it easy with softly shaped brows, a smooth base, and a good blonzer shade that lifts the cheeks while adding color and warmth. She shared on Instagram that the blush she used was MAC’s Colorstruck Blush in Gingerly.

The renowned cosplayer also knows a thing or two about hair, with her side-parted, soft cascading waves that beautifully frame her face.

Jelly Eugenio

Celebrity makeup artist Jelly Eugenio sure knows how to use makeup to its fullest without doing too much. The go-to makeup artist of many celebrities including Allure Philippines Volume 3 cover star Nadine Lustre, shows that when done right, makeup can totally bring out your best features.

Eugenio’s makeup base allows the high points of the face to glow and the rest of the skin to peek through. With well-groomed brows, subtle eyeshadow, wispy lashes, barely-there blush, and rosy lips, this look is a good peg for any moment.  To complete the look, Eugenio’s hair is slicked back and shiny—an effortless hairstyle that never fails for a nighttime event.

Sofia Jahrling

For those who prefer a more pared-down take on evening glam, take inspiration from content creator Sofia Jahrling’s look. She shares with Allure Philippines that she did her own makeup and opted for “a simple look.” To create a makeup base that could withstand evening photography without flashback, she used foundation from Dior, a peach corrector from homegrown brand Popique, concealers from MAC and Laura Mercier, and blush from Sunnies Face.

She further shares that she prefers sticking to bronze shades, adding, “I feel like that’s what highlights my morena features well.” This kind of beauty look is also an easy choice that can take you seamlessly from one occasion to the next.

People are embracing color, even for their nighttime look just like model Maria Isabela Galeria. Don’t be afraid to use a blue eyeshadow as the main character. With baby blue tones,  and silver metallic tones, the icy hue became the focus of the look. This look also makes the case that morenas can wear cool tones and it can actually highlight your morena glow. Take it from Galeria who had a swipe of  contour and highlighter on the high points of her cheekbones. The finishing touch is a rosy satin lip. 

If there’s also one thing to note, it’s that micro bangs are not going anywhere. Galeria lets her fringes make a statement, while she pulls the rest of her hair into a high sleek bun.

Habie Mondido

Model Habie Mondido offers her own interpretation of futuristic beauty through a striking makeup look anchored in metallic finishes and bold color. “I used metallic and darker colors since I like those shades,” she shares. Mondido reached for her Urban Decay eyeshadow palette for the metallic tones, and her black eyeshadow palettes from MAC Cosmetics to finish the dramatic eye look. 

The standout detail, however, is her glittering red lip, which she created using products from Filipino beauty brand Enigma. 

Keeping the rest of the look sleek, Mondido wore her hair in a polished bun accented with sculpted kiss curls along the forehead. She shares that she used Stylex Hair Gel to keep both the bun and curls perfectly in place without budging.

Andrea Torres

Television actress Andrea Torres proves that evening glam doesn’t have to mean a full-coverage base. “I did my makeup for tonight,” Torres shares with Allure Philippines when asked who was behind her effortlessly radiant look. “I just went for something fresh. I always want to let my skin breathe.”

A self-confessed skin care junkie, Torres believes that great makeup starts long before foundation. “I believe in taking care of your skin, so everything will just be easy afterwards,” she says, emphasizing that a healthy complexion is the secret to a seamless base.

To complete the look, Torres reaches for a few tried-and-true favorites: lashes from Fabuolash to subtly define the eyes, a light cool-toned pink blush from Rom&nd for a fresh flush, and a lip color that sits somewhere between red and orange for the perfect finishing touch.

Lourd Ramos

Excel Panlaque

Professional hairstylist Lourd Ramos proves that hair can be the ultimate form of self-expression. Expecting no less from a hair expert like him, Ramos had a platinum blonde mullet, styled with short textured layers on top. But the hair is just part of the entire beauty equation.

With silver shimmer swept across the lids, and a sparkly ube-toned eyeliner tracing his waterline, the eye look was a show-stopper. For Ramos, the eyelids are not just the canvas, he put more flair in his face, with colored gems and floral purple art that mimics the flower embroidery of his modern barong tagalog. Totally fresh and unique.

Yllana Marie Aduana

Excel Panlaque

Beauty queens are experts on evening glam, and Yllana Marie Aduana is no exception. The Miss Earth Air 2023 and Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Second Runner-Up tells Allure Philippines that she was going for a “casual chic” look—one that feels polished without trying too hard.

Aduana, who enjoys doing her own makeup, created the look herself with various products from Dior. She also generously shares that she used Vice Cosmetics lip liner and a lip color from Barenbliss to achieve her signature rosy pout. 

The finishing touch came courtesy of hairstylist Jey Flores. “I wanted to wear my hair down just for that kikay effect,” Aduana shares. Worn in soft, cascading waves, the hairstyle brings an effortless charm.

Johan Kyle

Excel Panlaque

Content creator and fashion designer Johan Kyle proves that great style doesn’t stop at clothing—it extends seamlessly into beauty. For the look, his makeup artist Art Torrontegui drew inspiration from the striking blue of Johan’s outfit. “He wanted to do something kind of Demna, kind of Gucci,” Johan tells Allure Philippines, translating high-fashion influences into a bold beauty moment.

The result is a graphic, fashion-forward look that pushes beyond Johan’s usual beauty routine. “I don’t often wear makeup,” he admits. “This is my first time doing a makeup look like this… of course, for Allure,” he says with a laugh. The experiment pays off, proving that stepping outside your comfort zone can be the most stylish move of all.

Chucel Njigha

Excel Panlaque

Celebrating your natural features can be the best move. Take it from model and volleyball player Chucel Njigha who went for a soft glam look with gold metallic eyeshadow and voluminous lashes that highlight the warmth of her skin. The rest of the look also leans into embracing her morena glow, with a base that lets her skin peek through, toasty contour and blush. The makeup look is finished off with a matte nude lip outlined with a darker shade of lip liner. 

But aside from the powerful makeup look, the hair was a totally different statement on its own. When asked how she keeps her curls healthy and defined, Njigha tells Allure Philippines that protective styling plays a big role. “I style it in box braids, shower a lot, use leave-in products, and really take the time to style it,” she shares. 

Wilmark Jolindon

Makeup is art, and photographer Wilmark Jolindon totally gets the memo. He  channeled his artistic eye with this makeup look that is inspired by surrealism that plays between balance, graphic lines, and contrasts. 

Jolindon has white graphic liner traced across his face, echoing the abstract design of his shirt. The stark white liner is complemented by a dramatic black graphic eyeliner, a cheeky play between two hues. Finishing the look is a pair of avant-garde glasses that are painted with one eye open and one eye closed. This is a look you’ll do a double take on because it’s that good.

Tarah Valencia

Excel Panlaque

A polished makeup look is not about packing on a lot of products, it’s about being more intentional on the placement. Learn from Miss Supranational 2025 Third Runner-Up Tarah Valencia’s glam with her brushed-up brows, doll-like lashes. By dialing back the glow, Valencia creates a refined finish that feels effortlessly elegant and camera-ready. And you totally can do it too.

Want to nail an evening glam look that is flash photography ready? Take notes from Valencia’s style of having a smooth base that is not overly powdered. Adding warmth also helps using contour and blush that’s more peachy in shade.

Sally Valencia

Excel Panlaque

Model Sally Valencia turns shimmer into a statement with a beauty look built around glow and unexpected details. Valencia tells Allure Philippines that she used the Issy eyeshadow pressed shadow in Metamorphosis, describing the finish as one that “shines like fish scales.”

The most playful part of the look, however, came from working around her beauty weakness. Admitting that she isn’t the best at creating a winged eyeliner, Valencia found a more creative approach. “I just created dots,” she shares. The result? An eye look that is totally one of a kind. A reminder that sometimes the best beauty moments come from turning things around.

Art Torrontegui 

Excel Panlaque

The eyes do all the talking for content creator and Allure Face Card Art Torrontegui’s beauty look. In another creative take on futuristic makeup, he drew a black, graphic eyeliner that extends to the inner corners of the eyes and diffuses outward into a soft wing. This pairs well with his cool-toned silver shadow swept across his lids, with shimmers extending vertically (totally unique). 

For Torrontegui’s look, the rest of the elements took a backseat, with well-groomed brows, sculpted cheeks and soft gradient neutral lip. But the extra edge comes from the hair with his mod cut complementing his natural curls and ties in with the futuristic feel of his beauty look.

Eula Arielle

Excel Panlaque

Content creator, model, and Allure Face Card Eula Arielle proves she’s always ahead of the beauty curve, taking inspiration from one of Zendaya’s recent red carpet moments. She tells Allure Philippines that she went for a “soft editorial take” on Zendaya’s look from The Odyssey premiere.

Eula recreated the look herself, using her favorite Dior Universal Glow Palette to brighten the inner corners of the eyes. But aside from the eye look, the Zendaya look was memorable to many because the base was almost skin-like. Eula shares trying to achieve that with the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation and the Saie Glowy Super Gel. 

And yes, even the hair was Zendaya-inspired, with her curly hair loosely braided into a huge section. Just like the Hollywood celebrity, Eula’s hair was left intentionally undone with tendrils framing the face.

Jiwon Lim

Excel Panlaque

An evening affair might often mean a full-coverage base for many , but model Jiwon Lim takes a different approach. “I wanted something very natural, a little bit of color correction on my face, and minimal concealer on,” she tells Allure Philippines, explaining that she wanted her freckles to remain visible and take center stage.

Even her blush choice stayed true to the fresh-faced approach. Instead of powder, Lim opted for a cream formula, using the Issy Juice Stick in Ripe for a natural flush.

The unexpected twist came through her eyes, where she swapped the classic black liner for a bold red accent. “I looked at the invitation and it was very red, and Allure is red, so okay, I thought I’ll do red,” she says with a laugh.
