We love a woman who's confident in her own skin, and Bianca Gonzalez is certainly that. The morena beauty, who juggles hosting, modeling, and writing (among others), is one of the country's freshest faces—and is equipped with brains to boot.

As the endorser of White Now, CloseUp's new instant whitening toothpaste, Bianca is no stranger to quick fixes. "People think it takes so long to look presentable or to look nice, neat, pretty. But then, hindi naman talaga," she shares. To look polished in no time, Bianca turns to tried-and-tested style and beauty tricks. Click "next" to check them out!

BEAUTY QUICK FIXES:

1. IF YOU MUST PUT ONE THING, IT'S LIPSTICK.
"I don't like wearing makeup on a regular day, but I have lipstick on. I [actually] like lip liner [more] because I find that it lasts longer."

2. GREEN CONCEALER IS MY SECRET WEAPON.
"I wake up so early, so I use green concealer for very special occasions. You know when you wake up and you have a huge red pimple? It's so red that just the regular concealer won't work. Since the concealer is green, if you put it on red, it actually cancels out since they're complementary colors."

3. MY SIGNATURE ACCESSORY IS A SCENT.

FASHION QUICK FIXES:

1. SUNGLASSES ARE ESSENTIAL.
"I'm sure a lot of you can attest to this, when you wake up in the morning with eyebags, not feeling bongga. Just put on super giant shades, and 'yun na."

2. ALWAYS HAVE A BLAZER WITH YOU.
"Every day talaga, I'm in pants and a top. It's really my uniform. And then usually, what I do, I leave it in the car, I have a blazer to throw on. So if ever there's a meeting where you have to look more polished, or there's a dinner na medyo malamig, or a movie..."

3. ANOTHER MUST-HAVE? HEELS.
"Usually, we're just in flats during the day, but you always, always have to have a pair of heels handy kasi ibang iba. All girls know this. From flats, when suddenly you wear four-, five-, six-inch heels, talagang you instantly have confidence."
