The year 2022 has been a good one for beauty. Not only are makeup and skincare trends becoming abundant and much more easily shared and consumed, inspiration is also everywhere—including our favorite local celebrities! Each has a style of her own, with some experimenting with playful colors or a little unexpected detail. Some liked sticking to enhancing her natural features—always a huge hit with their fans! Either way, we totally enjoyed copping their looks and admiring their many beauty expressions. Let’s look back on the beauty year that was in the gallery below:

Pia Wurtzbach - The beauty queen goes playful for 2022, experimenting on trendy yet classy looks for this year. From going bold like Barbie to a timeless chic bronze look for summer, Pia inspired many to cop the look that your heart desires.@piawurtzbach

Kylie Verzosa - While Kylie’s signature voluminous hair and flawless curls are still present, she didn’t fail to surprise us with charming yet sexy beauty looks. She won us over again with her belle-of-the-ball beauty look when she won Best Actress, and she keeps on stealing hearts in several other occasions, like her Bratz look that got Paris Hilton’s approval, when she opted to get bangs, every time she plays with her hair and eye color, and more.@kylieverzosa

Heart Evangelista - We’re not only proud of Heart for taking the international fashion scene by storm. We also take pride in her flawless and fun looks! As an artist, it’s in the details that make her a total scene stealer—from charming falsies to sleek brows, polished ‘dos to subtle glimmers, she carries them all effortlessly.@iamhearte

Sarah Lahbati - One day she’s dainty and classy, the next she’s fierce and vivid. The way Sarah Lahbati transitions from trendy bold looks to old Hollywood glam is magic—a true stunner. Despite juggling her family duties with work, the actress still manages to look after herself, and shine her brightest.@sarahlahbati

Kathryn Bernardo - Kathryn Bernardo’s beauty thrives in simplicity, and while she loves a no makeup-makeup look, she knows how to play to make things interesting. For example, an extra flush adds that color to her face; or perhaps a change in hairstyle could bring her from tapings to night events. Hers is versatile and the actress makes the most out of it.@bernardokath
