<p>Obviously, we&#x27;re still not over the nation&#x27;s girl group <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bini_ph" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>BINI</strong></a>&#x27;s historic performance at <strong>Coachella</strong>. Killing their 45-minute set in desert heat and dust on the <strong>Mojave Stage</strong>, the eight superstar Filipinas did the entire country proud. Putting Filipino music front and center in one of the world&#x27;s most iconic music festivals is a milestone we&#x27;re truly proud of. As of publishing, the BINI reel on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/coachella/reels/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Coachella&#x27;s Instagram account</a> is by far the one with the highest viewership and engagement—a testament to how huge this moment is for the OPM industry.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW-mZBTADJH/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A323357.30000000447%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1059" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>And since we&#x27;re still not getting over this moment anytime soon, we&#x27;re here to serve even more BINI x Coachella scoop for you <strong>Blooms</strong>!</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://metro.style/beauty/2026/4/11/bini-coachella-beauty-looks-2026-0830" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Filipina Beauty on Top: Everything We Love About BINI&#x27;s Striking Coachella Glam</a></div><div><br/></div><p>We spoke to one of BINI&#x27;s go-to makeup artists, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mkqua" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Mark Qua</strong></a>, who happens to be with the girls at Coachella Valley in Indio, California, at the moment. We got all the back stories of how the ladies rocked their beauty looks—complete with the makeup artists&#x27; magic touch and their personal serving of confidence and attitude! </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775959270945BINI Face Charts Coachella.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mkqua" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Face charts via @mkqua</a></span></span></span>Seeing the girls on stage performing their old and new hits really made a mark, especially on us Filipinos who have seen them grow in their journey. From very young girls to full-grown women, these performers have truly grown into their own unique beauties. We love seeing them shine and look their best, especially when performing. </div><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/1775959939408BINI Coachella Gwen Jhoanna.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mkqua" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BINI Gwen and BINI Jhoanna by Mark Qua</a></span></span></span></div><p>On Coachella&#x27;s Mojave stage, the ladies walked out in golden Filipina warrior-inspired garb, complete with <em>salakot</em> and proudly Pinay beauty.

The makeup direction focused on rich golden and bronzy tones to create that sun-kissed, almost liquid glow on the skin. <strong>We added delicate gold beads around the eyes for dimension and a touch of ethereal detail, like treasures from the ocean</strong>.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775959782327BINI Face Charts Coachella 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/juliuscmua" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Face charts via @juliuscmua</a></span></span></span><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/1775960094149BINI Coachella Makeup Maloi Stacey.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/juliuscmua" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BINI Maloi and BINI Stacey by @juliuscmua</a></span></span></span>We&#x27;ve seen BINI throughout the years serve dazzling makeup looks in different music videos, performances, and even our own METRO covers, but what makes this Coachella look truly special is that it&#x27;s marked with a different energy, a kind of confidence that truly makes them Filipina beauties on top!</div><p>Mark further shares, &quot;What makes this look more special is the <strong>evolution</strong><strong>. The girls are growing into their features</strong>—<em>nagda-dalaga na sila</em>—so we’re naturally transitioning from the usual soft, cutesy makeup into something <strong>more defined, more sultry, and a bit more powerful</strong>. It’s still them, just elevated into this new era.”</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/1775960232490BINI Coachella Aiah Makeup.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/theresa_padin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BINI Aiah by @theresa_padin</a></span></span></span></div><p>A new era it truly is.
