Putting on makeup like a pro

MANILA, Philippines - At 22, Franceska Toro continuously thrives after being crowned as Miss Earth-Puerto Rico in 2014. After conquering prestigious beauty pageants, striking poses on the pages of numerous magazines with a TV show in the US underway, the Puerto Rican beauty shows no signs of slowing down.

A go-getter, Franceska believes that the best accomplishments are those made from sacrifices and hard work. Just recently, Franceska flew 10,000 miles all the way from Puerto Rico to Manila to fulfill her duties as the beauty ambassador of EB Advance, an Ever Bilena cosmetics brand that caters to the changing needs of modern Filipinas.

Franceska’s two-week stay in the Philippines was jam-packed with numerous photo shoots for campaigns and editorials, meet-and-greets, and sitting in as a judge in the recently concluded TV show, Pinay Beauty Queen Academy Season 2. She also flew to Cebu to meet EB Advance supporters and enjoyed the beauty of the island during her short visit.

DIY makeup

With the demands of her work and lifestyle, Franceska has mastered the art of putting on her own makeup like a pro. Also, she impeccably puts together looks that best fit the events that she attends with the help of EB Advance products.

Franceska uses the new EB Advance CC Cream that has skin-matching ability to correct uneven skin tone. This CC cream addresses skin issues like redness or sallowness while leaving a light feel and finish with its special moisturizers.

The EB Advance Eyebrow Kit, which comes with three universal brow shades, gives Franceska the liberty to pump up her look and achieve perfectly shaped eyebrows. This product also includes a wax base that helps set brow hairs in place and makes the brow powder last longer.

Lastly, the EB Advance Supreme Lipstick allows Franceska to create a statement with its six highly pigmented matte shades and six incredibly smooth crème shades. Franceska can go from sweet to sexy in an instant just by changing her lip color.

As she temporarily bids farewell to the Philippines, Franceska is giving her best hello to her biggest dream waiting abroad. Her time has just begun as her career takes off from modeling and pageants to hosting her own TV show that will begin to air in the US sometime next year.

Franceska’s beauty may have charmed the world, but it’s her fearless personality, and down-to-earth nature that have captured our hearts.
