With years of experience, Ting Duque has established herself as one of the industry's finest makeup artists.
Her impressive list of celebrity clients includes notable names like Liza Soberano, Bea Alonzo, Julie Anne San Jose, Carmina Villaroel, and many more.
Given her multitude of celebrity clients, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) posed a challenging question to Ting: which of her celebrity muses has the most flawless skin?
This question was asked during the launch event of Kojie.san SuperSerum and Tinted Sunscreen at Glorietta Mall on September 23, 2023.
"Lahat sila!" she replied, deliberately avoiding any names to maintain impartiality.
Her answer only raised more questions about how one can achieve that "kutis-artista" glow.
One thing Ting has observed among celebrities is that they truly invest in maintaining flawless skin.
After all, their faces are their bread and butter.
Ting expounded, "All of them kasi... I always say this, they are their own business.
"So, they really take care of themselves. They exercise. They really take care of themselves."
The easiest method to achieve that celebrity glow is by following a basic skincare routine, and not forgetting to use sunscreen.
She said, "They're very knowledgeable when it comes to protecting their skin. So, they really use sunscreen.
"It's very rare that I work with a celebrity, male or female, who doesn't use sunscreen."

TING DUQUE: SKINCARE TIPS
Ting emphasized that the ideal time to apply sunscreen is immediately after your morning skincare routine.
She also reiterated the "two-finger rule" for applying sunscreen.
In simple terms, it means the amount of sunscreen required for your face should be about the length of two fingers.
Personally, Ting favors sunscreens that she's able to measure.
She said, "Kasi diba pag spray, it's kind of difficult. I use a spray as touch-up pero underneath talaga, yun yung important, kung ano yung nasa ilalim.
"Talagang yun yung tinatawag kong parang armor mo. So ako personally, I would still use a product like the Kojie.san cream type of sunscreen."
Ting also pointed out that some people don't feel comfortable wearing sunscreen due to certain formulations feeling oily.
She advised selecting a product that feels comfortable and, if possible, one with tint for added benefits.
The makeup artist told PEP.ph, "Well, I can't help but understand naman... because a lot of their concern is that it's oily, it feels uncomfortable, so yun ang mga ayaw nila.
"Pero kasi now they already know it's needed, everyone needs it, so I think it's more of that. But the Kojie.san sunscreen, it's tinted so parang ang dami mo nang makukuhang benefits sa isang product lang, from a sunscreen."
She added, "I also like it because it can work really well with other makeups and it has an SPF 50, sun protection is so close to my heart.
"So I'm just so happy that it doesn't have SPF 25, SPF 15, SPF 30, they mean business but at the same time it doesn't have white cast which I appreciate."
The Kojie.san Tinted Sunscreen comes in two sizes. The first one is the 50g which is priced at PHP479 on Shopee and Lazada.
It also comes in a travel-sized pack of 7.5g available for PHP120 on Shopee and Lazada.
