sofia takes a trip

It's no secret that actress Sofia Andres has a gorgeous face-expressive eyes, arched eyebrows, the mestiza nose, high cheekbones, and a cute pointed chin all fall under what is considered beautiful both in reel and real life. It's no wonder that beauty brands have approached her to be their ambassador and her face can be found on many print and billboard ads.

What's even more remarkable is that hers is a beauty that grows on you even more upon closer inspection, because Sofia's face is also honest as much as it is pretty. A bane and a boon for an actress and celebrity because her thoughts and state of mind always show on her face. It's easy to see when she's happy, tired, distracted, or interested just by how her eyes light for certain subjects; the series of emotions that play on her face as before she reacts or replies to something.

Don't get her wrong though, as a consummate professional, she still delivers the work she came to do, no matter what she's feeling at the time. It's just her nature to be honest about her complexities as a person and she's all the more beautiful for it.

SIGHTS AND SCENTS AT THE MALLI NUSTAR

Here in The Mall | NUSTAR, Sofia explores with MEGA the various luxury shops with a huge smile and eyes bright with delight. "It's giving Dubai... it's giving Abu Dhabi in terms of the luxury brands," she muses when asked how she likes Cebu's newest and first luxury mall. "It's a new vibe. Every corner is very Instagrammable and the people here are very accommodating."

"I actually don't enjoy shopping." Sofia confesses in jest, "I don't enjoy it because I end up spending a lot!" She laughs. She then adds more seriously, "I enjoy it because I get to try a lot of new pieces. I enjoy seeing beautiful things-shiny things. It's a Virgo thing." She laughs again.
