Go behind the scenes of Coach's fall 2017 campaign with Selena Gomez

Set in New York City, and reclining in a vintage 1976 Plymouth Fury car, Selena Gomez embodies the romantic rebel, coursing through her own way as the new face of the Coach Fall/Winter 2017 campaign.

The collection is in itself an artistic collaboration between the pop icon, renowned fashion photographer Steven Meisel, and Coach creative director Stuart Vevers.

For Gomez, the Coach brand holds a sentimental value to her, as she recalls her early adoration for the luxury powerhouse.

“Coach was actually one of my first designer purchases,” she says. “Where I’m from in Texas, Coach was the must-have brand. I remember saving up with my cousin, Priscilla, to get matching wallets.”

Needless to say, becoming the lead personality in one’s favorite brand is a dream-come-true, but more so for Gomez, who feels a special connection to Coach.

“Coach made me feel like family from day one,” she remarks. “Having the opportunity to grow creatively by working on a design collaboration and reaching so many girls through the Coach Foundation is important to me; and I love that Coach is supportive.”

The new collection is set to release this Fall/Winter season, and will be available in Rustan’s Shangri-La.

Trendspotting: Explore the dark nude lipstick

Recently, we have seen a lot of celebrities sporting nude lips that are not quite their natural shade, be it on the runway or just a typical day at work.

Nude shades can make your “no-makeup make up” game strong, but how about we take it to a darker level? Dark lipsticks are usually associated with the vampy, night-time look, but dark nudes have the advantage of also being daytime-appropriate, and even office chic.

Since the shades are nude, there won’t be additional beauty steps to make the lippy suit your look; just the usual foundation and concealer with a hint of blush, while maintaining a fresh look
to the eyes with groomed brows and mascara.

But like any lipstick trend, finding the right shade for you will make the biggest difference.

To get you started on your quest for the perfect dark nude lips, here are our shade suggestions, along with some staff favorites:

1. For fair skin tones, use a shade with a bit more red than brown to add more pop of color to your creamy skin. Adding a touch of the lipstick to your cheek will also give some dimension to your blush.

2. For medium skin tones, there are a lot of choices to choose from. But we recommend a deep brown or berry shade to add richness to your skin. A pop of highlighter on the cheekbone will also work wonders.

3. For deep skin tones, we recommend lipsticks with a dark brown shade and warm undertones, like burnt orange, to add radiance. Don’t forget to add a pop of shimmer to your cupid’s bow for extra emphasis.

Multi-masking hacks for different types of skin

Nothing beats a classic clay mask. Benefits abound: They’re often natural, they offer quick results, they feel great on skin, and they’re practically made for easy at-home use.

And honestly, what other skin product can you actually see working—drying out to unclog and detox pores in a matter of minutes? Clay masks provide the better way to pamper your individual skin type and get worthwhile results.

And when used once or twice a week, a good clay mask can go a long way to draw out impurities, brighten dull, tired skin and, in the long term, help even breakouts.

But just like everything in your makeup bag, one size does not fit all, and a single type of face mask won’t address all your skin concerns. Realistically, every girl has a combination of different skin types; some girls are dry skin, but oily in the T-Zone; some are acne-prone, but also sensitive at the perimeter of the cheeks.

To effectively use clay masks, you need to target the application based on the skin concern of that one area. It may seem inconvenient to buy more than one clay mask, but this way you can create a more customized treatment for your skin.

Here’s how you can make full use of your clay mask on the different parts of your face.

ON YOUR T-ZONE

Our T-zone tends to be oilier, more prone to blockages and spots—it shines and develops impurities, as the sebaceous glands in this area of the face are especially active. So, you should carefully choose a care product that is specifically tailored for your skin type.

Try: L’Oréal’s Pure Clay Anti Pores Mask, it can help you remove your impurities, reduce blackheads and excessive sebum.

ON CHEEKS

Most girls cheek area has some dark and dry spots. Switch to a mask that tackles dullness, rough texture, fine lines and wrinkles to energize the area.

Try: Choose a clay mask like L’Oréal Pure Clay Hydration Mask formulated with mineral rich Bentonite Clay to reduce your excessive facial oil to leave your skin soft, clear and purified.

ON EYES

The under eye area is the thinnest and most fragile skin on your face so you have to treat it delicately. It’s also the tattle tale that shows the most signs of being tired.

Try: L’Oréal’s Pure Clay Illuminating Mask, it contains exfoliating particles and lemongrass extract to leave skin clean and radiant!

Kim bares back in newest magazine cover

MANILA, Philippines – Kapamilya star Kim Chiu again showed her sexy side as she appeared in a backless dress on the cover of Metro magazine in its May issue.

Chiu, who is gracing the cover of Metro for the sixth time, was photographed wearing an elegant black dress and showing her bare back. The cover was shot by photographer BJ Pascual, while Denise Go-Ochoa did her makeup. Chiu's hair was styled by Jerry Javier.

According to Metro’s Facebook page, the issue will feature a “fierce and fabulous” Chiu as she sports summer’s most sophisticated trends.

Just last week, Chiu posted her photo wearing a two-piece swimsuit in the image-sharing site Instagram to welcome "another chapter" of her life as she turned a year older last Friday.

 Much to everyone’s surprise, the photo was seen by many as a bold move for the Kapamilya star, who has been known for her wholesome image since winning the reality TV show "Pinoy Big Brother" in 2006.

But Chiu shrugged off the idea that she is now ready to take on daring roles and leave her wholesome image behind.

“Side view lang iyon. One angle lang ng body. Hindi mo nga kita ang tiyan ko. Hindi pa ako ready. Huwag naman muna, okay pa ako na ganito. Isang picture lang,” she told ABS-CBN News.

The actress said she is happy being the simple girl her supporters have learned to love for the past seven years.
