This is why they don't invite Puerto Ricans often

A guest editor assignment for who, what, where? Could I lend my expertise to a series of fashion and beauty related questions
0:23
Sorry, I'm editing. I'll be back to you shortly. Always. Go subtle
0:31
Spelled subtle wrong. Subtle with the fragrances. I don't like overpowering perfumes
0:38
especially if you're gonna go have a meal. I think it messes things up with all the senses
0:42
Beauty influences listen to moms. They always know. I spelled listen wrong
0:50
What is wrong with me? I'm not fired yet, am I? My mom was a beauty queen
0:57
She still is very into beauty and makeup and just taking care of her skin
1:02
She's always been about beauty from within. She's like, you could be the most beautiful
1:06
but if there's nothing behind those eyes, nothing really comes out. People won't be able to really see your beauty
1:13
I was more of a tomboy growing up, so I was crawling up and down trees
1:17
I have scars all over my legs. So now I'm like, I feel like I should have listened
1:22
to my mom a little bit more. Not everything we see on social media is real
1:31
And I can't even believe I have to say that. We live in a world where people are constantly
1:36
comparing themselves and I wish people would stop believing that this is what I look like
1:42
I went through two hours of hair and makeup to look like this. So when you see an image of either a model
1:48
or an influencer, they went through professional hair and makeup to look the way that they do
1:54
Happens to me sometimes I like oh you know on a Sunday that I don have hair and makeup I like oh I feel a little off and I do my makeup and it doesn look quite right And then I go on Instagram and I see all these beautiful
2:04
people having vacations or whatever. I'm like, no, I think we should just all stop
2:09
Don't believe what you see in the interwebs. Brain just beauty trick
2:18
Preparation H. preparation h under your eyes if you're traveling if you're puffy you just put a little bit under
2:29
your eyes it's an old drag queen secret and it works it actually works less is more and embrace
2:41
you recently i've just learned to kind of undercover instead of cover so you kind of go
2:49
in with bronzer as opposed to with concealer. And it just feels like you're wearing less makeup
2:55
and feeling more comfortable with less. Another thing is my freckles. When I first started, everyone always, for some reason
3:03
covered my freckles. And it just feels like you already are wearing less makeup
3:08
when you bring them out. So I had all these freckle pencils, and freckle pencils last longer
3:14
Use that as your lip liner. It won't move. It doesn't move. It's crazy
3:18
I think people need to stop buying expensive face tools. Ice your face
3:23
You have it in your fridge. Ice and preparation. Packing last minute
3:30
I got you. A bikini, even if it's winter. Always a bikini
3:35
A Puerto Rican girl always packs a bikini. In that moment, I realized style isn't just about
3:40
what we wear, but how we express ourselves. Oh, did I save it
3:46
Whether it's about the season's trends or navigating life, my advice is simple
3:52
Dress for the life you want
