A multi-talented star who’s up for any role life throws at her, Kyline Alcantara takes on a new and exciting journey of being the newest face of Ever Bilena!

Charming, beautiful, and hardworking, Kyline represents the ideal Ever Bilena woman. From a young girl who is not afraid to follow her dreams, to a teen actress who is now making her way to stardom, Kyline wants to inspire young girls to be confident, true to themselves, and keep their elegance no matter where they go.

One of the most versatile young talents in the country today, Kyline perfectly captures Ever Bilena’s essence of being a makeup brand for every Filipina beauty. The 19-year-old Kyline can effortlessly shift from being a talented actress, to belting out OPMs as a popular singer and posing in front of a camera as a sought-after model.

Kylie, who is best remembered for her convincing portrayal of her roles in Annaliza and Kambal, Karibal, is now set to join the cast of I Left My Heart in Sorsogon. The 19-year-old star, who shares her career journey and every day adventure with her 3 million followers on Instagram, is ecstatic about being the newest brand ambassador for the country’s number 1 makeup brand.

“I’m very happy and proud to be a part of Ever Bilena’s family. I hope I inspire people, especially young girls to express themselves, and not let the norm and society dictate how they look. I want to encourage them to have the confidence to show their true beauty, be unique and stay true to who they are,” Kyline said.

Kyline’s makeup favorites, which she keeps in handy during lock-in tapings, include the Ever Bilena Lip and Cheek Stain, Ever Bilena Absolute Matte Lipstick, Ever Bilena Matte Two Way Cake, and Ever Bilena Pro Lash Define Mascara. These, she says, help keep her looking beautiful and confident with every take.

“We are very pleased to have Kyline with us as she represents an empowered young woman who is versatile, full of dreams, and with a strong fighting spirit,” Dioceldo Sy, Ever Bilena CEO said.

“It is with great pleasure to welcome Kyline as the newest face of Ever Bilena. Together with Kyline and our other endorsers, we hope to inspire and empower every Filipina by celebrating their true beauty,” Denice Sy-Munez, Ever Bilena Chief Sales and Marketing Officer added.

We watched them enjoy ice cream in front of the TV as a family, we cried when mom and dad got married in a surprise wedding like no other, and we saw the twins gracefully transform from kids to young adults. The Legaspis—Zoren, Carmina, Mavy, and Cassy—have gone through different milestones in the public eye, and though their special family moments happened through many years, a lot are quick to notice that the Legaspis never seem to age.

When a photo of theirs went viral a few years back, which showed the entire family dressed in black and looking impeccably beautiful, a number of comments talked about how the Legaspis had “vampire genes,” with their beauty unchanging and seemingly preserved through time.

It’s a moniker the family embraces and laughs about. But great genes aside, the Legaspis also know that to maintain their skin, they also need to put in effort. That’s why the Legaspis are proud to be long-time Skinvestors with the help of Dr. Kaycee Reyes, a skin doctor, well-aging expert, and the founder of Luminisce.

Skinvestors since 2015

In the first episode of Dr. Kaycee’s new YouTube channel, Luminisce by Doc Kaycee, she asks the Legaspis this question: How do you practice self-care?

“Artista man ako o hindi, I will take care of my skin. It’s part of hygiene,” says Zoren. Mavy agrees. “During the pandemic, my visits to see Dr. Kaycee became very therapeutic for me. I always feel refreshed when I get home,” he says. Carmina adds to this, saying, “Once we step in Luminisce, we feel so safe.”

Of course, this relationship with Dr. Kaycee and her team of doctors and aestheticians at Luminisce didn’t just fall into place during the pandemic, but began all the way in 2015. Carmina shares how she was looking for a treatment to Mavy’s severe acne back then, but even after going to different doctors and trying all sorts of procedures, his condition wasn’t improving—until they met Dr. Kaycee in her flagship clinic in Bonifacio Global City.

When Dr. Kaycee was able to treat his acne through her trademark holistic innovations, which involve not just treatments but also lifestyle tweaks, the rest of the Legaspis followed suit and trusted her as their skin doctor. Mavy remembers that what impressed him the most about Dr. Kaycee and Luminisce wasn’t just their expertise, but their genuine care. “Maraming expert, pero importante ‘yung personal relationship,” he says.

Self-care in 2021

Cassy recounts when the quarantines began in 2020 and how much uncertainty was in the air. “The pandemic is very sad,” she says. “But I also try to think about the good things that came out of it.” She mentions her gratitude for still having work today and says, “It reminds me to be safe and to take care of myself. Honestly, before I thought that going to the dermatologist is arte-arte lang, but now I can see that it’s really an investment. When you take care of your skin, it means you’re taking care of yourself.” In addition to getting skin treatments, Cassy also gets regular drips to boost her immunity from Luminisce’s preventive medicine branch, Sol Revive.

Being with our children 24/7 does not guarantee being able to monitor all their activities, especially online. As they grow older, it is important for them to know how to use the internet safely and responsibly, especially when they’re on their own.

Here are some tips that can help parents and guardians in teaching digital responsibility to kids:

Teach them to think and act responsibly online
The Golden Rule applies in the digital world. Teach kids that if it’s something they wouldn’t say or do to someone in person, then it is not proper in the online space as well.

Protect passwords
Teach kids to safeguard their personal information. Create a strong and unique password. R3pl@ce le++ers wit# sYmb0ls & n^mb3rs 1ike Thi$. Make it memorable, but avoid using personal information like names or birthdays. Use different passwords for multiple sites.

Avoid sharing personally identifiable information (PII)
Personally identifiable information or PII pertains to information that can reveal someone’s identity which may violate a person’s privacy. Examples of PII include names, birthdays, addresses, and phone numbers among others. Help kids understand the importance of protecting their PII and not sharing it on social media. Teach them as well to respect the privacy of friends and family online by not identifying people by name in public profiles and pictures.

Beware of dangerous sites and scammers
Make sure children avoid downloading from file-sharing websites and don’t accept files or open email attachments from unknown people. Using antivirus softwares is also helpful, but be sure to update it regularly.

Exercise critical thinking
Help young ones learn how to verify information on social media by simply checking other sources or Google Search. For children who use online resources for homework or research requirements, make sure they understand that cutting and pasting content directly from a website may be considered as plagiarism, especially if without citation.

Know where children go online
It is advisable to supervise younger children when they use the internet and tools such as Family Link can help. For older children, it is a must to have an open and healthy discussion about internet use--what is appropriate for them and not. It is important that they understand these boundaries. Parents and guardians may also set rules like scheduling online time and putting gadgets aside during meal or family hours.

Watch the first episode of Google and Mommy Mundo’s #InternetAwesomeParents webinar series to learn more about “Teaching your kids to be better netizens”. Tune in to the upcoming episodes “Ensuring your kids safety online,” on September 22 and “Setting boundaries with technology for your kids” on September 29, both at 8:00 PM.
