Manila, Philippines–  Filipina star Andrea Brillantes shared her tips on how you can find and own your sense of style.

During the event of beauty brand Luxe Organix recently, the 19-year-old actress and fashionista answered some questions from Stylish Magazine. Here are what she has to say when it comes to finding and owning one’s fashion sense:

1.Don’t be afraid to be inspired by other fashionistas.

For Andrea, there’s nothing wrong if you take in some fashion references from people whose style you genuinely adore.

“Minsan kasi, mas easy malaman ang gusto natin na outfits kapag nakikita natin sa ibang tao yung damit,” she shared in an exclusive interview with Stylish Magazine. (“Sometimes, it’s easier to figure out what outfits we truly like once we see the clothes on other people.)

“Like for me, my biggest fashion inspirations are Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. So I take inspiration from their outfits, and then I put my own twist into my look.”

“For me, importante po na naghahanap po tayo ng parang fashion pegs po natin na makaka-inspire sa atin,” she added. (“For me, it’s important that we look for fashion pegs that can inspire us.”)

2.Match your outfit with confidence.

For Andrea, fashion is all about confidence.

“Kahit gaano kaganda ang suot niyo, I swear kung wala kayong confidence, di niyo din mas madadala pa yung outfit,” she said. (No matter how cute your outfit is, I swear if you don’t have the confidence to match it with, then you might still not be able to pull off the outfit well.)

“You have to be confident in your own fashion style, because we are all different,” she said. “Like other people, they prefer comfort over style. If you are like that, then stay true to yourself. Carry your outfit with confidence.”

“As our way of expressing our deepest gratitude to all our customers, we would like to treat them with a bigger giveaway promo,”  Mr. Eugene T. Yap, CEO of Genson Distribution Inc., also added.

Luxe Organix is Dermatologically Tested

During the fun event, Luxe Organix also shared its new laurel as the brand received a dermatologically-tested seal acknowledged by experts in KC Research Center in South Korea and Dermatest Research Institute for Reliable Results in Germany.  

“At Luxe Organix we pride ourselves on extensive scientific rigor when it comes to developing a new product,” Yap added. 

The exclusive seal from experts is a nod to the company’s vision that ensures all products are suitable and safe for sensitive skin. All of Luxe Organix’s products were tested in their final form assessing each and every  potential that might cause irritation and sensitization (allergic reactions) on the skin. 

Present at the launch are Dr. Drolah Sanchez, Dr. Bea Maxine Chan, and Dr. Kei Rebolleda who explained the importance of this seal. When having sensitive skin, which can translate into redness, itchiness, and dryness, among other symptoms, people tend to be anxious about trying new products. Understanding the role sensitive skin plays in most people’s everyday life has the same importance as understanding the role the “dermatologically tested” label plays for Luxe Organix’s cosmetic and hair products. 

“We are committed to providing holistic beauty regimens with clinic-grade skincare products that are highly effective and give great value for money,” Yap concluded.
