These local beauty collaborations are trending now
Vice Co., Blk, and Faboulash team up with beauty insiders to bring lip kits, minis, and lash must-haves
The local beauty scene is thriving, featuring high-quality products from homegrown brands and collaborations with some of the industry's most influential names. There’s no shortage of creativity and excitement for Filipino beauty lovers.
Here are three of the latest drops that you shouldn’t miss.
Soft power
Finding budge-proof lip liners that work in our tropical weather has long been a challenge for social media star Lierge Perey—but she finally found her match in Vice Co.’s latest release, the Velvet Blur Lip Shaper that’s available in eight wearable shades.
What makes this an exciting addition to anyone’s kit is its dual-ended design—featuring a chubby lip liner on one end and a dense brush for blending on the other. “This is mostly a nude collection with some bold colors, so there’s something for everyone,” shares Lierge.
Complementing this new product is the Velvet Soft Lip Bullet, available in 12 shades, which delivers a soft matte finish while keeping lips moisturized. Together, these two lip products form the Perfect Kizz Velvet Lip Collection, enriched with peptides that boost collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking lips. With a diffused, velvety finish, these lip products prove that you can make a quiet yet powerful statement.
Known for sharing wearable lip combinations and being a longtime fan of the brand, it’s no surprise that Lierge curated four lip kits perfectly suited for the Filipina. Her go-to tip? Line your lips with the Velvet Blur Lip Shaper, blend inward using the built-in brush, then tap the Velvet Soft Lip Bullet onto the center for a soft, diffused finish.
Major minis
Blk’s cult-favorite essentials—Glossdrip and Creamy All Over Paint—get a fresh makeover in exclusive shades and travel-friendly mini formats. This collection showcases different aspects of Rei Germar's personality through three sets: Dream State, Active Radiance, and Love Locked. Whether polished and powerful or soft and introspective, these mini products focus on fuss-free, on-the-go beauty that delivers a flawless—on and off cam
In an interview with Manila Bulletin Lifestyle, Rei expressed her pride in the evolution of the local beauty industry. “I started creating makeup videos in 2017. During that time, there were so few options when it came to the local beauty scene. But now, it’s so competitive in such a good way. There’s this huge space for beauty and for all Filipinos, and it’s nice to be seen.”
“It’s super important that we support the local beauty brands, because we excel in product quality. We can compete on an international level in terms of quality standards. I also dislike the notion that local products should be inexpensive. Why? Filipino brands deserve to set the prices, because they put so much work into developing high-quality products with excellent ingredients and performance. We should be proud that these are made by Filipinos for the Filipinos.”
Eyes that define
Faboulash has collaborated with three of the country’s top makeup artists—Anthea Bueno, Mark Qua, and Jelly Eugenio—to create a lash collection that encourages artistry and individuality. Anthea delivers soft elegance with a naturally full lash line, Mark brings bold volume for maximum drama, and Jelly adds flair with a cluster style designed to elevate any look.
Also debuting is their makeup collaboration with Jelly—a four-piece eyeliner collection that’s waterproof, ultra-precise, and made to last. “Mikka Marcaida (the founder of Faboulash) found an exceptional formulation for eyeliner that we developed even better,” revealed Jelly.
With collaborations like these, the local beauty industry proves it’s not just keeping up, it’s leading with innovation, artistry, and pride. From lip liners that glide effortlessly and complement best-selling lipstick shades to lashes that elevate every look, and minis designed for beauty on the go, these products are inspired by real people—makeup artists, content creators, and loyal users who help define what modern Filipina beauty should be. Each release is a reflection of what Filipino beauty is—bold, world-class, and here to stay.
