“I wanted Clarissa to look fresh, radiant, and natural for Premios Juventud,” explained Gerald Santiago to HOLA! “The key was prepping the skin with the lightweight hydration of Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. Hydration is essential on such a long red carpet day, as it gives the skin a healthy glow that highlights her beauty in front of the cameras. With juicy, softly defined skin, the look stays modern and radiant all night.”
Clarissa herself was thrilled with the result: “This look is fresh, modern, and confident — perfect for such an important night. I love how hydrated and luminous my skin feels.” She added, “We kept it chic and glowing with a natural finish and glossy lips. It feels like me, polished, powerful, and ready for the red carpet.”
Step-by-Step Breakdown
Skin Preparation
The glam session began with a clean canvas. Gerald used Neutrogena Fragrance-Free Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes, which gently cleanse while removing even waterproof makeup.
Pro tip: Use upward strokes to stimulate circulation and prep the skin for a flawless base.
Hydration & Natural Glow
Next came the star of the prep, the brand's Hydro Boost Water Gel with Hyaluronic Acid. This lightweight gel instantly delivered deep hydration, leaving Clarissa’s skin plump, fresh, and radiant.

Base & Definition
A buildable coverage foundation set the tone, paired with bronzer and subtle sculpting. The effect is a natural warmth and dimension without looking heavy.
Pro tip: blend seamlessly along the jawline and hairline for a smooth, undetectable finish under red carpet lights.
Eyes
Clarissa’s eyes stayed soft yet defined. A touch of warm shadow in the crease, lightly defined lash lines, curled lashes, and mascara created a clean, lifted effect.
Pro tip: add a pop of light at the inner corners to make the eyes sparkle on camera.
Brows
Brows framed the face with structured, natural definition. Rather than bold, Gerald went for soft grooming that elevated Clarissa’s natural shape.
Final Touch on Lips
The look wrapped up with a glossy, fresh lip moment. Clarissa wore the Hydro Boost Lip Oil in Light Pink, infused with purified hyaluronic acid for hydration and shine.
