Human has a new face

There’s a new face in town. And her name is Isabella Ana Estella. Young and petite Isabella oozes with childish charm, an active quirky imagination and an innate intelligence. She is precocious and extraordinarily pretty without being intimidating.

Discovered when she was a wee six years old, Isabella had her debut in a fast-food commercial. Now, this seventh grader from the tony Ayala, Alabang has proven herself adept in the arts and in sports.

Aside from doing television and print ads, she has dabbled in theater with stints in productions that include Repertory Philippines Annie. She also won first place at an inter-school painting competition. And the girl can kick a soccer ball. She even got a medal for it.

"I love to act and sing. I love theater," she gushes. "It’s a nice experience and I got to meet lots of new people." This early, she has already expressed desire of enrolling at a prestigious performing arts school in, where else, New York City.

Unlike most kids her age, she actually enjoys going to class and says Reading, Language and Math are her favorite subjects.

As vice-president of the Student Council and assistant editor of her school paper, Isabella has an active school life. And, as if all these aren’t enough to burn the young girl’s energy, Isabella is now the new Human Face image model.

Human, a leading alternative lifestyle store, has produced an ingenious cosmetic line for the younger hip set. From shimmering loose face powder and dual eye shadow to lipstick and fruity-flavored lip balms.

Isabella’s face is so versatile and ideal for Human Face that imagining somebody else on the slot is difficult. "I’m bubbly, down-to-earth and I love fashion," she explains when asked why she thinks she was chosen.

The Human Face cosmetic line bears names that are so irresistibly sumptuous like Birthday Cake (blue + silver), Tiramisu (brown + cream) and Jelly Baby (plum + pink) for the Dual Eye Shadow. The eye shadows (P125 each) combine light, for emphasizing features, and dark colors, for contouring, to give the eyes definition.

Other delicious must-haves are the Eye Shadow Pencils (Sorbet for blue, Gelato for brown, and Yogurt for lilac) in unique, creamy pencil form for easy and controlled application (P120 each). For added definition to the eye area, there’s the Eyebrow Pencil with Brush (P85), designed to be soft-textures for smooth and easy application.

Human Face also has its own gently formulated Loose Powder (120) that will render the face radiant.

Human Face also has three variants for its Lip Lines: Chamomile, Chai Spice, and Passion Fruit (95 each). All come in slim packaging and can be used as either lip liner or lipstick. Then, there are the Lip Liner Pencils — Ginger and Chili — to add texture and definition to the lips (85 each). For Lip Balm Human Face offers three choices: Daiquiri, Lemonade and Mint Julep (69 each).

Human Face also has a whole line of Lipsticks with Shea butter to hold in and retain moisture, preventing your lips from getting dry. Variants include Black Cherry, Brownie, Caramel, Popsicle, Snow Cone and Sunday (P120 each).

For funky, art nails, Human Face introduces its Nail Varnish Set (89), which comes with four colors.

Human Face is available at all Human boutiques.
