Bare-skin beauty

Aside from her most talked about departure look, the beauty queen unveiled her best no-makeup looks on her feed. Take this photo for example—her clean sleek bun created a laid-back yet polished appeal.
Minimalist makeup
It’s no secret that her face flatters any makeup format. In this photo, the beauty queen made a serious case for minimalist makeup. Her eyebrows and eyelashes are defined while a gentle wash of color sits on her lids and cheeks. Elsewhere, Celeste showcased that healthy lips are in with a swipe of a balm-like product.
In full color
Celeste Cortesi captured pageant fans’ attention when she debuted her Miss Universe Philippines photo. Masterfully created by celebrity makeup artist Guilly Valenzuela, the beauty queen donned a cobalt blue eyeshadow and a sharp black liner. It’s a new take on a usual layout, thanks to the creative mind of her team, consisting of Junessa Rendon, Bonita Penaranda, and Mae Castillo. It’s fair to say that this entry made her stand out from the competition.
Red lip classic
Celeste’s red lip entry inarguably translates to empowerment. In a post, she wrote, “Don’t ever let your fears be bigger than your dreams. The risk you’re afraid to take will change your life.” Elsewhere, the beauty queen completed her look with minimal eye makeup and a slick-back hairstyle.
Pearl embellishments
Look closely to see the beauty queen’s play on beauty accents. In this photo, Celeste incorporated pearl embellishments to her eye makeup to give her classic look a fun twist.
