Kathryn’s ‘going to the gym’ beauty routine

Always looking her best—or at least presentable—has become second nature to Kathryn Bernardo; it doesn’t matter if she’s on the red carpet or on an indoor cycling bike.

Kathryn’s ‘going to the gym’ beauty routine
Kathryn Bernardo launches her latest collaboration with local makeup brand Happy Skin–the Generation Happy Skin Active. 

“For me, even if you’re going to the gym, you still have to be presentable. ‘It’s just the gym’ is not an excuse to not care about how you look because you think you’ll get all sweaty,” she explained.

The secret to a fresh, presentable gym look, the 23-year-old actor revealed, is to opt for makeup products that are light and safe on skin, and, most importantly, don’t budge even during the sweatiest spin class. 

“First, you have to choose products that don’t clog the pores. Second, you have to be sure that it doesn’t melt on the skin. When it melts, you end up with smudged eye shadow or eyeliner that make your eye bags look dark,” opined Kathryn.

She continued, “My final gym makeup essential is that the product has to be light and safe on the skin. You will sweat when you work out, and the last thing you want is thick makeup that doesn’t allow your skin to breathe.”

Her beauty routine and approach to makeup influenced her latest collaboration with homegrown makeup brand Happy Skin. 

The Generation Happy Skin Active, a sequel to the Generation Happy Skin diffusion cosmetics line launched last year, is composed of six skin-caring and sweat-proof products which Kathryn helped create. 

“I really love this new collection I worked on because it’s something I can really use myself,” she enthused. 

During the product launch, Kathryn described the active line as simple; she said she loved it as the products are easy to use, look normal on skin, long-wearing, and don’t clog the pores. 

She shared she was more meticulous and careful with Generation Happy Skin Active. She was hands-on, much like in her previous collaboration, and used all the products on herself while traveling last year to ensure the formula works and doesn’t make her break out.

The six-piece active line is composed of lip products, blushes, eye shadow, and eyeliner.

“I tried wearing it while sweating, while working out, while traveling, and even in different kinds of weather. I’m happy and confident to share it with my friends and fans because everything really worked for me!” she beamed. 

Comprising the line are Love Your Lips Intense Color Butter Balm SPF 15 (Free, Bliss, Powerful), an intensely pigmented lip butter that protects and moisturizes lips; My Lips But Better Ultra Matte Lippie (Limitless, Energy), which provides an ultra-matte finish while optimizing hydration; Kiss & Bloom Water Lip and Cheek Tint (Focus, Breathe), which gives a naturally sheer color on the lips and cheeks that dries into a watercolor wash.

Also included in the active range are Easy Eyes Crease-Proof Eye Shadow Stick (Fit, Flex), an easy-to-blend eye shadow stick; On-The-Go Blush Lightweight Cheek Stick (Flushed, Glowing), a fuss-free blush that leaves a natural-looking finish; and Simply Defined Budge-Proof Gel Eyeliner, a fool-proof eyeliner that has a pigmented gel formula that lasts all day. 

Interestingly, Happy Skin’s latest active line does not include foundation and consists only of products that define and give color to the face. This, however, was a deliberate decision as Kathryn embraces a kind of beauty that takes on a more natural and breathable approach. 

“It’s perfect that there’s no foundation or powder for this particular collection,” she shared. 

Kathryn’s gym beauty routine using the products, she said, only takes her five minutes. First she uses the On-The-Go Blush in Flushed, which she revealed was her favorite, then curls her lashes, applies the Crease-Proof Eye shadow Stick, and finishes it off with the Butter Balm in Fierce or Free. 

“And you’re good to go!”
