00:00Hey Cosmo, I'm Sophia Andres and your Cosmo Cover Girl for this month.

00:04And for today's Cosmo Challenge, I'll read your messages and give you beauty advice.

00:13Who is your beauty icon or inspiration? How do they influence your style?

00:17My beauty icon, there's a lot but I'll just name one maybe.

00:22Kanye Vee, I love her skin. She's giving that natural look. Less is more. You don't have to put

00:27a lot of makeup or like skin care. It doesn't have to be really the whole thing. One moisturizer

00:35could be already perfect for you. What's a beauty tip or hack you've learned from makeup artists

00:41and dermatologists? Oh, maybe putting ice on my face. Maybe for like a minute, like the ice cube

00:48and then you just put it on your face and roll it on your face and massage it and everything.

00:52It really closes my pores. What beauty trends are you currently obsessed with and which one do you

00:59avoid? I'm letting you know that I'm currently obsessed with the Aveeno common store line because

01:04it just instantly calms my skin which is really, really perfect because I really have sensitive

01:10skin which I really have to be cautious with the products that I use. How do you balance

01:15motherhood, work and still find time for yourself? Any tips for other busy women? You know what, it's

01:20really just about being focused about your goals, your purpose and my daughter is such an inspiration

01:28so I wake up in the morning and think about the things I really want to do and still want to do

01:34and I just want to be a successful woman in this world. I'm unstoppable. Has your beauty routine

01:42changed since becoming a mom? What's your favorite beauty ritual for self-care? Ever since I've been

01:47really into just the moisturizer, night cream and then massaging it with the, what do you call that

01:55again? Like the gua sha. I've been really into that and maybe just because of the

02:04the line itself, it says calm and restore. I think it's really perfect for my personality

02:11and my situation right now because we need to calm down. It's 2024. We should have calm soul

02:18and calm skin and everything. Have you ever felt pressured by beauty standards in the industry? How

02:24do you stay true to your own style? Now that I'm a mom, I'm more loving myself more because before

02:31when I was younger, I used to like just follow what's on trend, follow whoever and just compare

02:37myself with other people but now, I learned how to embrace myself, how to love myself more and how to

02:45just know what I'm comfortable with, what works for me and it takes a while but it's really worth it.

02:52What's one beauty myth you believe growing up that you've nouned upon?

02:58Growing up, we're thinking, oh I should be more beautiful. Now that I'm also exposed with people

03:05that's with good heart and genuine heart, it reflects. Lahat tayong maganda. Mapute, tiyamangge or like

03:14dark or whatever. Beauty is probably that so it doesn't matter. What advice would you give women

03:22who are still figuring out their personal style and beauty? Just look at yourself in the mirror

03:27and say you're beautiful, you're worth it, you deserve it. Really, it's really, it's how you hype up

03:33yourself like no one will, you know. So and don't forget to pray. It works. When I truly felt that I'm

03:43really comfortable with what I'm doing, kasi parang you know that eh. I feel like this is not me.

03:47When you try on something, then also in skincare right, like when you try on something and it

03:51doesn't work, then you have to change it. So it's like trial and error and you have to be patient

03:56also. Oh kasi I was patient until I got into something better. And that's it for today everybody.
