With its ability to be mixed, matched, and layered—whether with rosy peaches, vibrant mauves, or unexpected color pairings—The Multiple encourages artistry and experimentation, giving beauty lovers the freedom to create looks that are uniquely their own.</p><p>Perfect for everyday wear and any occasion, The Multiple is a versatile essential that beautifully complements Filipino beauty. Whether you prefer a natural flush, bold statement, or something in between. With its reimagined formula and effortless finish, this cult favorite is made to elevate your look anytime, anywhere. </p><div><em>Visit the newly opened NARS branch at The Podium to experience it yourself.</em> <strong><em>—Sophia Ancheta</em></strong></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Bobbi Brown Launches The Luxe Cashmere Matte Lipstick</strong></div><p><strong><em></em></strong><em></em><em></em>Recently, the Rustan&#x27;s Courtyard Makati hosted the launch of Bobbi Brown’s latest innovation: the Luxe Cashmere Matte Lipstick.
