Sylvina Lopez and Reins Mika Melitante Sport Subtle Shine on Our November 2021 Cover
Learn more about their beauty looks.
As if a contrast to their raw, honest discussions on body image and self-love, for their L’Officiel Philippines’ November 2021 cover, the beauty looks worn by celebrity makeup artist Sylvina “Slo” Lopez and rising model Reins Mika Melitante draw smooth lines via glossy eyelids and illuminated cheeks, crowned with hair gently flicked at the ends.
The liquid shine, though restrained, is definitely a nod to Y2K glam, and the subtle waves are a relaxed, modern take on 1920s fingerwaves — two eras defined by cultural shifts comparable to the 2020s’ own. High octane gleam slicked lips at Dries Van Noten and Nina Ricci’s Fall/Winter 2021 runways, while lit-from-within skin with a soft, diffused sheen to it starred at Maison Rabih Kayrouz. Meanwhile, curtain bangs, here curled with tender prudence, remain an ever-relevant tribute to decades past.
