Aquamarine eye makeup
With makeup done by artists Dave Quiambao on Michelle and Gery Penaso on Anntonia, the two beauty queens rocked blue eye makeup in an eye-catching deep aquamarine shade. On Anntonia is a halo eye look that’s been winged out for maximum impact. On Michelle, on the other hand, is a more understated design with the aqua eyeshadow relegated to her bottom lash line for an interesting pop of color.
Blue eyeshadow has been on the rise in the past few years given the resurgence of the 60s, 80s, and 00s aesthetics. With beauty maximalism back on top, it makes sense that we’ll see more daring looks like these this summer, where shapes, colors, and vibrancy are played around with.

Royal blue manicures
Likewise, the duo is sporting matching royal blue on their fingertips. The difference lies in the varying lengths, with Michelle donning a more natural length while Anntonia embraces long, almond-shaped nails. This particular shade of blue is particularly summer-ready, serving as a great palette cleanser after the dark red cherry trend of the past year.
Long, straight, and slicked-back
Last but not least are Michelle and Anntonia’s matching hairstyles. Though we’ve enjoyed Michelle’s short haircut for her Miss Universe journey, it’s undeniable that long tresses are made for her, too. On the cover, the duo is sporting waist-length pin-straight hair, slicked back into mid-length ponytails. Bobs and lobs had their moment in 2023, but 2024 is now all about length and hair extensions.

Coral lips
And, of course, how could we forget their matching coral lipstick? Their lips are emblazoned with a vibrant pinkish-orange hue that gets its name from the sea invertebrates, making it the perfect shade to bring into the scorching summer. It’s feminine, it’s powerful, and it sends a message.
