Gabbi Garcia breaks down her beauty essentials
Gabbi Garcia is breaking boundaries. From her breakout role as Sang’gre Alena in the remake of the iconic fantaserye, Encantadia, to her dynamic portrayal of Alex in the primetime series Unbreak My Heart, Gabbi has established herself as one of GMA7’s sought-after artists.
She is a premiere hyphenate – taking on multi-platforms and spreading positive energy. She appears quite poised and self-assured, but Gabbi admits that when she was younger, she cared a lot about fitting society's image of beauty. “As I grew older, I realized that self-acceptance and authenticity matter more than conforming to standards. Society shouldn't define how we look; it's about embracing our uniqueness and feeling confident from within”, the Sparkle artist confidently shared.
This unmistakable confidence radiated from Gabbi as she unboxed her recent beauty haul. Her love for makeup and skin care is a celebration of her self-expression and desire to inspire others to discover their own unique look. She reveals her top make-up essentials and skincare tips starting with lipstick. Matte lipsticks are her go-to for taping days because they’re easier to manage especially in dramatic scenes. She reserves the glossy kind for special events.
Eyeliner is another make-up must-have, especially for character transitions such as the one that viewers will witness soon with Alex, Gabbi’s character in Unbreak My Heart. Her experience in making the series showed the actress the importance of studying characters with discipline. “I felt a connection with my character's strength and independence because I share those qualities”, Gabbi muses and adds that commitment to your craft applies beyond acting.
Perhaps skincare was one of the things Gabbi was talking about when she mentioned commitment beyond acting. To have a good base, she stresses that make-up lovers like her must prioritize skincare. She never goes to sleep without removing her make-up. Her secret tool is a cotton bud with make-up remover. She dabs this on small areas to remove residue like eyelash glue and eyeliner. Gabbi also swears by “double cleansing” to ensure that all the dirt on her face is washed off.
To wrap up her beauty haul reveal, Gabbi whips out a tube of conditioner and says that haircare is just as important as skincare and make-up. With everything that’s being done with her hair on the daily, making sure that her hair is well taken care of is mandatory.
