Of course, the night was brimming with memorable pageant moments, but the beauty looks equally deserved the attention. It began with Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray as she donned a two-toned lip look and a slicked-back hairstyle that perfectly complemented her subtle sexy red ensemble designed by Anthony Ramirez and styled by Justine Aliman. In addition to the standouts were Miss Grand International Philippines 2016 Nicole Cordoves and Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa, who provided new inspiration in the hair and makeup department.
From mermaid hair, romantic updos, to subtle color plays, every detail can’t be missed. Below, we listed the standout beauty details at Binibining Pilipinas 2023 Coronation Night.
Mermaidcore hair
It comes as no surprise that mermaidcore has made it to the main stage. In the competition, different interpretations of voluminous hairs and modest curls were seen on delegates such as Miss Globe Philippines 2023 Anna Valencia Lakrini, Trisha Martinez, and Julia Mae Mendoza. Elsewhere, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray showcased a sultry iteration of the look with a slicked-back hairstyle by celebrity hairstylist Brent Sales.
Subtle color play
Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa perfectly exhibited a subtle yet vibrant way to wear color this season. Decoding the work of Kim Roy Opog, the celebrity makeup artist opted for swishes of mauves and deep brows to create a smoky eye look. The standout detail? The neon graphic liner in the inner corner of her eye. It’s the ideal finishing touch that flatters her Barbiecore ensembles for the coronation night.
Bold lipsticks
Ms. General Trias Cavite Atasha Parani proved that a swipe of bold lipstick is an absolute scene-stealer. As seen on the main stage, the candidate made a creative turn by opting for a deep plum lip color. Meanwhile, Miss Globe Philippines 2022 Chelsea Fernandez made a statement with a classic rouge lip color.
Romantic updos
A romantic updo appears to be a true backstage favorite as celebrity hairstylist Jonas Lucas made a heavenly combination of curtain bangs and a classic updo for a très chic finish on Miss International 2022 Hannah Arnold. Elsewhere, Miss Grand International Philippines 2016 Nicole Cordoves exhibited an old Hollywood glamour appeal with her take on a side-part bun hairstyle.
Glossed lips
It’s undeniable that the pageant’s beauty moodboard exhibited its penchant for gloss de la gloss lips. The allure of hydrated and shimmered lips is timeless—just take a cue from Miss International Philippines 2023 Angelica Lopez and her winning lip combination. As luck would have it, it only takes flattering rose-brown lipstick and a sheer gloss to recreate the look.
