Lisa, Son Ye-jin and matte lipstick in the news
OF the three biggest beauty news of the past week, two were Korean-related. First came the news that Lisa of the phenomenal Korean girl group BLACKPINK had been named the global brand ambassador for Estee Lauderowned beauty brand MAC. “MAC is truly at the forefront of trendsetting, which reminds me every time I see a MAC campaign or the incredible looks from a brand with such an incredible heritage and unrivaled expertise in makeup artistry. I am thrilled and looking forward to this journey,” said Lisa in a statement.
For her looks, Lisa said she usually enjoys natural makeup. “I like to start with a simple base and finish with a slightly bolder lip color to add some vibrance.”
For the promotional images released by MAC, the makeup artist who did Lisa’s look used some of her favorite products, including: MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation, MAC Eye Shadow in Espresso + Stars and Rockets, MAC Brushstroke Liner in Brushblack, Diamond Crumbles + Not Afraid to Sparkle Dazzle Shadow Liquid, MAC Prep+prime Lip, MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick in Mull It Over, and MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash.
Meanwhile, Jennyhouse Cosmetics, a brand whose haircare line is endorsed by Korean actress Son Ye-jin, is finally in Manila. It was brought in by Terry Dy and Rachelle Tan.
Like many women who watched the hit series Crash Landing on You, Terry became a fan of the drama’s leading lady Son Ye-jin.
“I love her style and acting, and, most of all, her beauty and simplicity despite being the most soughtafter actress in Korea. I chanced upon Jennyhouse Cosmetics which Ye-jin trusts and ordered them right away for me to try.”
“K-beauty has successfully conquered the international beauty market since the early 2000s and has been highly popular in the Philippines in recent years,” said Rachelle.
“The biggest reason why we proceeded with Terry and Rachelle as our Philippine vendor is because they like our products, and they were very persistent and active [in pursuing this venture],” said Song Byoung Yoon, director and global marketing of Jenny House Cosmetics.
Since Jennyhouse started as a salon back in 2002 and became the name behind the hairstyles of over 1,000 celebrities, some of their best products have been for the hair.
Jennyhouse RE:BAK style repair shampoo and treatment is the solution to keeping your hair shiny and moisturized, despite all the aggressors that it has been exposed to, including hair color. With eight natural ingredients such as aloe vera leaf water, avocado oil, extracts from Jeju tangerine peel, green tea, joritdea, lotus leaf and asparagus, plus broccoli extracts, it also promises to deliver a healthy scalp. The shampoo also aids in managing hair loss, providing nutrition to your scalp and hair.
Aside from the hair care line, Jennyhouse Cosmetics also has a wide range of makeup and skin-care products. Terry’s favorite is the Truffle Collection, which includes a cleanser, serum and cream. Rachelle likes the blush because it gives her skin a glossy and dewy look. For more information about Jennyhouse Cosmetics, follow Areum.mnl on Facebook and Instagram.
