Beautiful & confident
Singer- actress Patricia Javier is a confident woman who takes charge of her life with passion and grace. She knows that she can accomplish anything she sets out to do because she is strong enough to tackle the toughest of situations. She is at the top of her game in the different roles she portrays in life.
After taking a hiatus from showbiz to raise a family in the US with her husband of 11 years, chiropractor Rob Walcher, and sons Robert Douglas and Ryan James, Patricia calls Manila her family’s home base now.
While in the US, Patricia’s innate love for performing allowed her to discover her new talents, and one of them is mixing tunes as a DJ. “Music is a big part of my life. As a DJ, I like to mix music from the ‘80s to EDM (electronic dance music). My husband supported me all the way and encouraged me to go to a DJ school. He even bought me all the equipment I needed. When I was in San Diego, I did gigs for special events,” she shares.
When she and her family came back to the Philippines a couple of years ago, Patricia did a string of projects like starring in indie films including Separados and
Latay. She also released an album under Ivory Music and continues to do shows to promote it. She was also part of the recently concluded ABS- CBN teleserye Doble Kara. Now, Patricia is busy as the operations manager of Doc Rob’s Chiropractic Wellness Clinic in Quezon City, a venture she and her husband set up last year.
With the demands of her many roles in life, Patricia nourishes her mind and soul so she can function well. “I am able to do the things I am into right now with the support of my family, especially my husband Rob. With that, I keep a positive outlook in life and pray to God to always give me a happy heart,” says Patricia, whose faith allows her to see beauty beyond tangible things and appreciate her experiences in life that, according to her, make her stronger and wiser.
“Confidence comes from the beauty you have inside and out. If you have God in your heart, it gives you kindness, among other things. That’s more important. And for me, kindness is beautiful.”
A self- confessed beauty enthusiast, Patricia takes conscious effort to live healthy by choosing the right food, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep. She also gets regular facial treatments and makes sure that she uses the right skin care products. This simple regimen gives her flawless skin, which is a great canvas for the many makeup products she loves.
Patricia is fond of the fresh, natural look when it comes to her makeup, may it be for TV appearances, shows or her everyday look. If there’s one makeup product that Patricia loves, it’s lipstick. She shares that to make her look more well put-together, she puts on the right lipstick. “That’s why I like Ever Bilena lipsticks because the brand has all the shades I need. The products are
of very good quality and they’re affordable,” Patricia reveals.
For this shoot, Pat r icia used the EB Advance LTD Liquid Lipstick in Fire
Opal. It is a velvety soft liquid lipstick that delivers buildable and long- lasting lip color with a matte finish. It is formulated with emollients that help keep the lips supple and smooth. This exclusive liquid lipstick line comes in 12 high- impact shades, ranging from soft mauvy nude to deep vampy red.
Fo r the base of her everyday look, Patricia just uses face powde r be cause she ha s f lawle s s skin. But for those who have minor skin imperfections, the cream- based EB Advance Studio Finish St ick Foundation is the best route. This product , which is cont a i ned in a convenient s t ick, ha s a bui ldable coverage that conceals blemishes, evens out the skin texture and leaves on a matte finish on the skin.

Create some f lair on your brows with the kit’s three shades of brown that blend with the natural brow color. The kit also comes with tweezers and br ush for prope r eyebrow st yl ing.
