This Yuletide season, Max Factor ambassador and multi-hyphenate Jennylyn Mercado is all about celebrating with family and friends. Whether it’s a grand family gathering or an intimate affair with friends, she makes sure she imbibes the spirit of the season with a radiant holiday look.
“My favorite memory and tradition of Christmas is singing carols with my mom,” shares Mercado. And when it comes to the holiday parties, she says, “I usually cook at home and invite everyone to eat and sing videoke with us. I also make sure that Jazz, my son, is happy and full from the noche buena that I prepare.”
With the Christmas season now in full swing, Mercado is heading off to a slew of parties and reuniting with friends and family, thus she says it’s important she always looks polished and put together—using Max Factor.
During family reunions and intimate gatherings with her inner circle, Mercado says she likes to keep a fresh face.
“I just wear the Lash Crown mascara, the Creme Puff Powder, and blush or bronzer, and the light pink shade from my Lipfinity Palette in Nudes,” she says.
But when she wants to make her look a bit more festive for the holiday season, “I wear red lipstick—either the first or second shade in the Max Factor Lipfinity Palette in Red, or even blend both.”
The Lipfinity Lip Palette is the ultimate makeup must-have for those obsessed with lipsticks as it brings together all that is needed to create the perfect pout. The multi-purpose palette, which comes in three varieties, offers expert tools and step-by-step guidance to create masterful lip looks.
Each palette includes a hydrating primer; highly-pigmented, long-wearing shades; and three different top coat options—glossy, matte, and metallic.
For a foundation that can live up to Mercado’s hectic holiday schedule while keeping her natural and youthful glow, she uses Max Factor Lasting Performance Foundation. This lightweight foundation offers full and all-day coverage that doesn’t cake over time.
Along with the foundation, to create more depth, the actress relies on the Miracle Contouring Palette. Available in eight versatile shades, Filipino women are guaranteed to find the perfect one that suits their skin tone.
Mercado says she loves to play up her eyes, and thus makes them more expressive by using beautiful hues.
When it comes to eyeshadows, her go-to is the new Max Factor Masterpiece Nude Palettes, a set of three universally flattering eye palettes. With eight shades per palette, the Max Factor Masterpiece Nude Palettes give women the shades to contour and define the eyes.
“I even use some of the shades as highlighter on my cheeks, cupid’s bow, and the middle of my nose. Sometimes I use the darker shades for contouring,” she shares.
To further add drama to her sultry gaze, she defines her eyes using the Masterpiece High Precision Liquid Eyeliner and the Lash Crown Mascara.
Mercado’s favorite makeup products are available at Max Factor in leading department stores nationwide.
