In beauty, a well-accentuated lip is often prefaced as an indispensable accent to the face. It is inarguably transformative, completing a narrative to any look. There’s more than one way to define the allure of a good lip detail, but there is nothing more enticing than a shade and finish that flatters the individual wearer best.

A lip moment is synonymous with beauty lovers, makeup artists, and celebrities. And while there’s an array of notable looks, we wanted to give light to this generation’s breakthrough star Belle Mariano. Undeniably, she embodies beauty and charm but another standout feature of Belle is her well-accentuated lips. With this in mind, we tapped her favorite makeup artist to share the story behind some of Belle’s best lip looks.

Naming the Artist 

Jake Galvez has made his name in the fashion and beauty industry. After completing his professional and fashion makeup studies abroad, he pursued his craft through creative editorial shoots. Over the years, he garnered an impressive roster of muses, such as Kim Chiu, Chienna Filomeno, Yassi Pressman, and Andrea Brillantes.

“The lip color choice is very important in any look. It will make or break your look,” he shares “But when in doubt, go for a nude pink shade that is universally suited for any motif,”. Jake also reveals that in finding the best lip shade, he always coordinates and aligns it well with the entire outfit and hairstyle.

A List Of His Favorite Things

Makeup artists are mostly well acquainted with the latest trends in the beauty sphere. For Jake, the “Gym Lips” definitely captured his attention. “I’m currently obsessed with it!” he shares “To achieve it, you need to use a lip liner in the same color as your lips. Overline it to make it bigger and top it with your favorite clear gloss. I usually use Dior’s Lip Glow Oil for this to get a natural finish. “

Alongside that, the makeup artist also shared his favorite lip products “My top 3 lip products in my kit would be Guerlain KissKiss Bee Glow Honey Tint Balm, Charlotte Tilbury in Pillow Talk and Tom Ford lipstick in Casablanca.”

On Creating Belle’s Look 

Belle is growing to become a beauty chameleon “She’s becoming a young trendsetter and we always make sure that we do looks that are original or we’ve never done before,” Jake shares. “Belle also likes experimenting with makeup looks! She gets really excited, especially if we create performance looks or editorial looks” 

The makeup artist also described her look as youthful and trendy “I get a lot of inspiration from the Thai or Korean beauty styles of makeup, which are polished yet still fun.”

Belle’s Lip Focus 

As mentioned before, any look would not be complete without a lip color. But to make sure that the hue renders beautifully on Belle’s lips, Jake also prioritizes lip preparation “Before putting anything on the lips, I make sure to scrub the lip with a lip scrub to buff away dry skin. It instantly restores the smoothness and softness of your lips,” he shares “And then apply my favorite Makeup Forever Ultra HD Lip Booster, my secret to boosting and preparing tired & dry lips, and perfect to prime the actual lip color,” 

And while the actress has quite a long list of her best beauty moments, Jake reveals his favorite lip products that he used on Belle.
