It’s that time of year where we dress up and show face more than usual which could come with some anxiety. The simple task of dressing oneself turns into a chaotic mess of clothes scattered across the bedroom, trying to select the perfect attire just to go over to someone else’s house and eat their food.
KENS 5 Great Day San Antonio host Roma Villavicencio’s flawless look is effortless. She spoke with MySA on how she gets camera-ready that could put those anxious thoughts of finding the right outfit to rest.

My routine is pretty simple. Believe it or not, I don’t drink coffee! So, when I wake up, I shower, feed my puppers and let him play in the backyard for a little then head to the station where I get fully ready.
What are your go-to make-up products you can’t live without and why?
Go to makeup – I am terrible at doing my makeup and have recently decided it’s okay. BUT I have discovered a few foundations CC creams that are awesome. I love the IT Cosmetics ILLUMINATING CC cream (makes your skin look so glowy) and the Clinique, beyond perfecting foundation – this one has a little more coverage for them TV cameras. I love the benefit HOOLA bronzer and FENTI stick bronzer in “espresso.” They give you the perfect contour pop! I’m also a sucker for good lip gloss…MAC, Morphe, Anastasia, and even the random CVS finds. Can’t forget about my lash extensions!! They are game changers and my girl Kristen Morales does the best job with them!

Roma Villavicencio shares beauty tips
Any skincare products you swear by?
YES, GLO Skin Beauty has the best products. I was struggling with chin and jaw acne for a while and this line helped clear my face so much. I use their face wash, moisturizer, sunscreen, and serums (they have this incredible package of small serums from retinol to vitamin c – so worth it!) You can get it at Thread Brow Studio Salon.
How do you keep your hair looking healthy and shiny?
THANKS to our GDSA hairstylist, Juahnn Torres I have added leave in treatments to my weekly hair care. I use a nicer shampoo to help with color and breakage. SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER: B3 Bond Builder LEAVE IN TREATMENT: OLAPLEX no. 6, KENRA Color MAINTENANCE Thermal Spray 11 (heat protectant and shine) and lastly KENRA Texturizing Taffy 14.
What’s some of your favorite stores for clothes?
The Southern Bunny, Uptown Cheapskate, and Revolve
How do you stay fit?
I TRY to stay fit by boxing at black stallion boxing plus. I’ve been doing it for three years now and am obsessed. It’s challenging every time but not only does it help maintain a level of health and exercise, I’ve learned so much more about the sport and can appreciate boxing athletes soooo much more for their rigorous training and performance during a match! Highly recommend boxing if you enjoy a FULL body workout. Also love going on long bike rides along the mission trail!
