MANILA, Philippines - Happy Skin Feeling Sculptacular Face Contour Kit (P1,199) addresses what Happy Skin’s research reveals — that women see full cheeks, a blunt nose, a hard jawline or a protruding forehead as bigtime confidence-busters. The product ups your makeup skill by making contouring really easy. The pan comes with a highlight and a lowlight color that are both blendable and buildable. “To address the usual problems that women encounter with this product, we integrated an easy-to-follow face diagram right on the pan of the Happy Skin Feeling Sculptacular, and it teaches you where exactly to apply the highlight and the shadow!” assures Happy Skin co-founder Jacqe Yuengtian-Gutierrez.

Like all the other skin-caring products of Happy Skin, the Happy Skin Feeling Sculptacular Face Contour Kit loves your skin. “We knew that the cheeks are prone to break out, so we made sure that our contour kit does not contain pore-clogging silicone,” assures co-founder Rissa Mananquil-Trillo. “The success of our non-silicone SS Crème prompted us to create more non-silicone products, and this Happy Skin Feeling Sculptacular Face Contour Kit is definitely a non-silicone wonder.” In addition to anti-clogging properties, it’s also infused with green tea extract, which reduces puffiness, and Neem Leaf, to make the kit suitable for people with sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin.

Happy Skin is currently available at Rustan’s Makati and Rustan’s Shangri-la, Beauty Bar, and Plains & Prints boutiques.

Happy Skin Eye Love View Eyebrow Duo (P799) delivers pretty, professional and poised eyebrows in simple, easy strokes. With this product, eyebrows look natural — never fake or overdrawn. It provides the best of both worlds: an eyebrow pencil tip and a liquid liner tip in one nifty pen. The auto-pencil tip lends brows the most natural hue, while the fine-tip micro-fiber brush allows you to achieve feathery strokes, professionally mimicking real brow strands.

“It’s always frustrating to be carrying around a pencil and a liquid brow product to get that perfect eyebrow,” expresses Jacqe. “We totally understand this predicament and that’s why we developed this product to answer that beauty woe!”

Rissa knew that the Happy Skin version had to be perfect – both user-friendly and effective. “I think the biggest challenge was finding the perfect eyebrow color that will work whether you have sparse eyebrows that need to be filled in or you have full eyebrows you want to define without looking too harsh,” Rissa says. “With Happy Skin, you can now say Eye Love View to perfect brows, no matter your brow type!”
