Translucent Loose Setting Powder Ultra-Blur, Laura Mercier, Mini for P1,800
Now talc-free, this cult favorite remains a top contender in the setting powder game, especially for its blurring effects. It’s weightless, minimizes the appearance of large pores, and provides a soft-matte finish.
Blush Filter in Strawberry Cream, Huda Beauty, P1,400
For a hint of color on the cheeks, this shade delivers the perfect flushed effect. Easy to blend and foolproof, it’s ideal for beginners adding color to their makeup routine.
Lip Stain in No More Chance, Lucky Beauty, P299
This lip stain creates a natural “just bitten” look without making it obvious you’re wearing anything. It leaves a lasting tint, making it a great value for its price.
Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Waterproof Foundation, Laura Mercier, P3,400
Going viral for good reason, this silky, lightweight foundation covers imperfections without looking artificial and lasts up to 12 hours.
1 Day Tattoo 2Way Eyebrow Liquid, K-Palette, P895
Achieve full, natural-looking brows with this dual liquid and powder formula. The liquid applicator is easy to control, even for heavy hands, while the powder seamlessly blends in with a natural sheen.
Precisely, My Brow Wax, Benefit, P1,790
For a softer, more natural brow look, try this light-tinted wax. It tints and holds brows in place all day.
Makeup Prep Squad Life-Proof Primer, GRWM, P499
This primer is tacky enough to hold makeup throughout the day, non-drying, and doesn’t cause irritation.
Artist Color Pencil Longwear Lip Liner, Makeup Forever, P1,300
A multi-use pencil for lips, cheeks, and brows. We love “Whenever Walnut” for creating a fuller lip effect.
Prep + Prime Fixing Spray, MAC Cosmetics, P1,800
This fixing spray helps melt and blend makeup seamlessly. It can also be used as a primer for more even application of color products.
Skin So Good The Multistick, Sunnies Face, P595
This medium-to-full coverage multistick works well for both concealing and foundation. Its thick consistency allows for easy application and lasts all day when set properly.
