Who can embody Maybelline New York's latest tagline, "Make It Happen", better than Georgina Wilson?
The gorgeous Filipina-British model has top brands Jaguar, American Apparel, SM Accessories, Garnier and Globe in her modeling portfolio, and has Channel V and Asia's Next Top Model under her hosting belt. In spite of her rising career in modeling, she had chosen to take her education seriously, as well, even graduating with honors from University of Sydney with a double major in Accounting and Finance. On top of all that, she is Marketing Director for local eyewear brand, Sunnies. Her physical beauty is enhanced not by mere cosmetics but by a good head on her shoulders--a true role model for every girl!
Surprisingly, Lifestyle Manila discovers that there is more to Georgina Wilson's success than meets the eye, as she graciously spends a few hours entertaining bloggers in an exclusive sit-down. From motivational advice to beauty tips, she provides insight on everyday concerns that simply reveals her beauty, confidence and grace. Here are her best--and most inspiring--ones:
ON CONFIDENCE
Like everyone else, Georgina has had issues with self-confidence, but she never let that bring her down. Growing up as a fat child, she quickly realized how important it was to be surrounded by people who cared. "My family, my cousins--they never made me feel like it was something bad," she shares. "It's really important to have a good support system."
While it's true that there's no other place where we can get our strength but within, it helps to be surrounded by people who can teach us how and where to get that strength. Lip service can't turn into self-confidence, so in the end, you will only have yourself to rely on. So build inner strength!
Friends make it happen.
ON MAKE-UP
Take it from Georgina Wilson to know what the modeling industry is all about. She has been modeling since high school, and she admits to being the first cousin in her family to use makeup. She started at 15, and she didn't have to ask for her parent's permission. Though she does go out without makeup all the time, she sees the value in cosmetics. "It's very important to be comfortable with how you look," she explains. "There's a reason why we use products that can complement and enhance our beauty."
Saying yes to things that make you happy can make it happen.
ON LIFE
For Georgina, "in life, it's really about work." When she feels bad about how she looks, she goes to the gym and does something about her body. "I'm a doer," she adds. She's always been a problem solver, too, as she chooses to have a ready solution to her concerns.
Self-love can make it happen.
With Maybelline's cosmetic lines meant to reveal inner confidence by enhancing the unique beauty and confidence that each lady intrinsically possesses, we can easily see how Georgina Wilson is the perfect ambassador for the brand. Based on the quick interview, Georgina is a lady who has set goals for herself, overcome them, and all the while being glamorous and all dolled up. She is a woman who, through hard work and determination, has achieved amazing things at a young age, and eventually become a young Filipino icon capable of influencing today's youth.
Talking with Georgina has even helped me to gain better perspective on how
I should be living my life. Now I feel like I'm more than ready to take on any challenges. I'm ready to take on the world!
Thank you, Maybelline New York, for the #MakeItHappen movement.
