Article (news)

<p>From viral makeup launches to quiet kit essentials, 2025 delivered no shortage of beauty moments. But which products actually impressed the beauty pros? As we welcome another year of exciting beauty cycle this 2026, we naturally had to seek the seasoned opinions of those who work with beauty backstage, on set, and in real life the most. We asked professional makeup artists which beauty products launched last year won them over and are now mainstays in their kits.</p><p>From base products to eyelashes, brushes, and blushes, local and international brands, consider this list the ultimate insider guide to what impressed some of the top Filipino makeup artists in the country in 2025 (and therefore should be considered for your next beauty purchase!). Bonus: they also shared the beauty resolutions shaping their year ahead! </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Thazzia Falek</strong></div><p>The Dior Backstage Blush Stick is my favorite launch this year because it just works. No drama, no overthinking. It melts into the skin, blends in seconds, and doesn’t mess up the base—which is everything when you’re doing makeup fast or working on different skin types. I love that I can apply it with my fingers, a brush, or straight from the stick and it still looks good. It gives that fresh, healthy flush that makes the skin look alive, not overdone. Plus, it holds up even in long days, heat, and humidity.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution:</strong> Bolder and refining my craft even more.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767951802597Thazzia.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Thazzia Falek</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Juan Sarte III</strong></div><p>One/Size Bouclé Silk Airbrushed Finishing Powder. I love this powder—it sets makeup, feels dry to the touch, but gives skin a soft luminous finish. Perfect for humid weather. It’s glowy without melting.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution:</strong> Always choose formulas suited to humidity and heat, especially in the Philippines.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767951827356Juan Sarte.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Juan Sarte III</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Lala Flores</strong></div><p>One, the Dior Beauty Holiday collection and their newly released blushes. It’s a makeup staple for me to create beautiful makeup and wearable holiday looks. Two, the Sunnies new longwear lipsticks and glosses - it’s lightweight and applies almost like a lip balm yet is a long wearing lipstick. Same goes for the long wear lip gloss that dries well and stays on the lips. Amazing! </p><p><strong>Beauty resolution:</strong> I want to see real, authentic beauty be appreciated more by using a less snatched filtered look. Be happy and smile more often!</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767951852484Lala Flores.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Lala Flores</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Jelly Eugenio<br/></strong></div><p>My favorite is the SOLA Dew it Fresh Vitamin C (line or the) Hydrating Mist. It&#x27;s a new entry in the “jellyverse”, it&#x27;s my first skincare infused/focused product and vitamin c is my favorite ingredient for skin brightening - so being able to create this perfectly, a product that works great for people with oily sensitive skin like me is a win. Hydrates the skin, can set the makeup too and it doesnt make you oily. It’s just a bit addicting to spray.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767952903160Jelly.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Jelly Eugenio</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Xeng Zulueta</strong></div><p>The skincare launch that piqued my interest the most in 2025 is the Numbuzin NAD⁺ Toner and serum because it translates a highly clinical, buzzed-about ingredient into something genuinely usable for everyday skincare. Since I occasionally get NAD shots, I’m naturally curious about how the concept works topically, and this launch approaches it in a thoughtful, non-gimmicky way. The formulas layer easily into a routine, feel gentle yet effective, and focus on supporting skin health and resilience rather than chasing instant, superficial results.</p><p><strong>B</strong><strong>eauty resolution:</strong> My 2026 beauty resolution is to simplify and listen to my body. Healthy skin, healthy hair, and looking well-rested.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767952932821Xeng.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Xeng Zulueta</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Jason Delos Reyes</strong></div><p>Makeup up by Mario Master Mattes Cream Eyeshadow! I love how easily this cream shadow blends whenever I use it—it always gives me that soft, flawless matte finish. Every shade feels so thoughtfully created, and I’ve seen how flattering they look on any skin tone I work with. It lasts the whole day without creasing, which is why it’s become a true essential in my makeup kit.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>My beauty resolution for 2026 is to never hesitate to explore makeup and try new trends. If it doesn’t work, you can always erase it and try again—being creative and fearless is the true power of makeup.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767952960984Jason Delos Reyes.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Jason de los Reyes</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Anton Patdu</strong></div><p>The reformulated Face Sculpt Contour Sticks of Strokes! This product never fails, and it&#x27;s a must-have in both my professional and personal kit.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution</strong>: Be more conscious of the products I use on my face.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767952993604Anton.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Anton Patdu</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Mikka Marcaida</strong></div><p>I won’t go too far. My favorite launch this year are our collabs with makeup artists Jelly, Anthea, Qua, and beauty influencers, Lierge, Marj, and Joce. Girls usually overlook the power of lashes; it can take your look to a whole new level. Love that our launch with them didn’t only highlight their artistry, but also embraced every girl’s unique style and eye shape.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>My beauty resolution this year is mindful makeup consumption: fewer impulse buys esp. the new releases, more in-depth testing, and make use of what I already own. Because I’m part of the beauty community, I sometimes become a victim of overconsumption.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953041806Mikka.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Mikka Marcaida</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Angeline Dela Cruz</strong></div><p>My fave is the latest VxJelly Palette! It’s so convenient, especially for makeup artists. It’s everything I need in 1 palette for quick touch-ups! I can do a quick look change with this too.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>My 2026 beauty resolution is to listen to my body/skin more. I also want to recognize personal growth this time and find my unique purpose. Rejecting comparisons and prioritizing my mental well-being!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953085286Angeline Dela Cruz.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Angeline Dela Cruz</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Marben Talanay</strong></div><p>The Lucky Beauty Lip Gloss &amp; Lip Plumper! It gives instant shine, natural fullness, and a juicy glow—beauty and comfort in one swipe, very trendy and camera-ready.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution:</strong> my 2026 beauty resolution is to focus less on trends and more on care—creating looks rooted in healthy skin, intentional technique, and authenticity.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953113245Marben Talanay.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Marben Talanay</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Vincci Tardes</strong></div><p>I would really love to mention GRWM’s Holiday Collection! I know it’s very recent, but it’s like high-end! Especially the bronzers! There’s only a few bronzers I like in the PH marke,t but their bronzers are so good! Just the right amount of pigment and the finish? Chef’s kiss! It’s giving Hourglass PH-made. And the six pan palette–It’s so me!</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution:</strong> My beauty resolution is I won’t pressure myself to follow trends and stand by my strengths as an artist.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953142466Vincci.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Vincci Tardes</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Zhiedge</strong></div><p>As of now, top of mind is Kit &amp; Co’s Serum Foundation. I love the spread, and it gives medium but buildable coverage while giving a real skin like finish as it sets. Plus, it’s long-wearing! The formula is giving me great results, but it&#x27;s even better for my combination, sensitive skin! I received a lot of compliments when wearing it. It’s really giving!</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>With more makeup brands stepping up their creativity, quality, and becoming more skin-friendly, I’m definitely gonna have more makeup days this year!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953183699Zhiedge.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Zhiedge</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Angeline Tan</strong></div><p>I absolutely love the Dala x Toni brushes! They make blending effortless and work so differently from other brushes I’ve tried. For foundation and contour, the product blends instantly the moment the brush touches the skin—no harsh lines at all. What I love most is how versatile they are; I can use them with both cream and powder products. I also love the precision blush brush for applying cream blush—it deposits just the right amount of product and blends effortlessly. I’ve been looking for a brush in this shape and size for the longest time, and what truly makes it stand out is how seamlessly it blends.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>My 2026 beauty goal is to intentionally explore new makeup techniques, experiment with different styles, and discover new products that enhance both my work and self-expression.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953210306Angeline Tan.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Angeline Tan</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Lee Aquino</strong></div><p>The Absidy Vital Blur Filter Skin Tint is one of my favorite skin tints that was launched this year. It’s very lightweight, perfect for everyday. As a beauty enthusiast, it’s very important for me to perfect my skin but at the same time protect it from harmful UV Rays, that’s why the Absidy skin tint is one of the staples on my beauty kit.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>Make skincare a habit. Remember, great makeup starts with great skin!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953272527Lee Aquino.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Lee Aquino</span></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Christian Ray Arapoc</strong></div><p>One of the best local products released in 2025 is the Dala x Toni Architect Brushes. I must say, they’re one of the best local brush sets we have, if not the best. The thought and curation that went into these brushes make them work perfectly for both pro artists and non-pro consumers. They’re pro-grade, high-quality brushes at an affordable price and can compete in the international market.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>To focus on beauty from within by being consistent with my skincare routine and drinking more water, something I often miss but want to prioritize in 2026.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953310506Christian Ray Arapoc.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Christian Ray Arapoc</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Patricia Remoquillo</strong></div><p>Issy Pressed Velvet Inserts! This is my actual favorite local non-launch! I was able to get my hands on these, and the formula is really great, and the colors were also amazing. It’s a multi-use product that would’ve been a staple in every girlies and makeup artist’s kit. Long-lasting with great shades too! I love love everything about it—even if it was a “failed” product. What Issy did with it was also amazing—a great representation of sometimes, even great innovations don’t work as planned, but there will be people who will love it and will definitely use it well!</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>My 2026 beauty resolution is to work out as religiously as I use sunscreen!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953467626Patricia Remoquillo.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Patricia Remoquillo</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Jay Salcedo</strong></div><p>My favorite 2025 beauty release has to be Issy’s Under-Eye Brightening Fluid. I love how lightweight it is, it melts into the skin and instantly makes the under-eye look fresh without creasing. It’s perfect for both minimal looks and full glam, and it photographs beautifully. It’s a product I genuinely recommend to anyone who wants brighter, smoother-looking under-eyes.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>My 2026 beauty resolutions— personally: SPF every single day. Professionally: less hoarding, more finishing in my kit.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953499247Jay Salcedo.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Jay Salcedo</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Joys Gudio</strong></div><p>Absidy Vital Blur Filter Skin Tint! Good for oily, dry, combi skin types. Amazing coverage pero still very skinlike and dewy. I use it as a primer/base before foundation, and it grips soooo well! It&#x27;s marketed as a tint, but it&#x27;s basically a foundation-tint-sunscreen-primer in one. People should talk about it more.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>It’s not the primer, it’s the technique. No primer can save bad blending!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953548935Joys.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Joys Gudio</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Quency Guevarra</strong></div><p>My favorite 2025 beauty release is the GRWM Radiance Tint Color Corrector. I love how lightweight yet effective it is in neutralizing discoloration, making the skin look instantly brighter and more even. It blends seamlessly under makeup and helps create a smoother, more flawless base. For me, it’s a reliable essential in any kit—especially for achieving long-lasting, natural-looking coverage.</p><p><strong>Beauty resolution: </strong>My 2026 beauty resolution is to continuously refine my craft while staying true to enhancing natural beauty. I want to focus more on skin-like, timeless looks that make every client feel confident, radiant, and still very much themselves.</p><div><br/><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767953588948Quency.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Quency Guevarra</span></span></span></div>
