Makeup, like everything else we wear on our bodies, is a personal choice. It celebrates artisticexpression and, if you think about it, the journey of self-discovery. From the excitement ofstumbling on a new product and the delight of experimentation to the instant jolt of happy whenyou see your transformation—it’s the way the entire process makes you feel that is profoundlyrelished. In the same vein, those precious 15 minutes all to yourself is a moment of self-care thatshouldn't be dismissed. You see, makeup has been a source of happiness for a lot of us.

Turkish cosmetics brand, Flormar fully embraces the enjoyment one gets from playing aroundwith colors and turning one’s face into a work of art for the sake of self-expression. It is knownto be one of the fastest growing makeup brands globally in color cosmetics, thriving andexpanding in more than 100 countries across the world since it was first launched in Milan in1970. With high-quality formulas, the latest technologies, and top-notch product innovation,Flormar offers a wide array of makeup, as well as nail polish, in an extensive assortment of huesthat we can happily fiddle with and use as tools akin to a painter’s kaleidoscopic palette toexpress ourselves.

“Makeup isn’t necessarily good or bad, right or wrong. And in fact, there are fewer rules aboutbuying and using makeup than society makes out. Our goal at Flormar is to stir up thatwonderful feeling we get from the ritual of putting on makeup whenever, wherever, however wewant and feel like it. Color your way, color yourself happy,” urges Angie Goyena, president ofZFace, Inc.

Colors abound at Flormar—colors that spark a variety of emotions. The thing about makeup andnail polish as pick-me-ups is that they give you a more concrete way to echo how you feel, in thesame way music potently elevates your mood. On that account, it is a no-brainer why FlormarPhilippines signed on award-winning artists, Morissette and KZ Tandingan, householdnames who perfectly embody the manifesto of the brand.

Morissette

Both Morissette and KZ have steadily gained global recognition with their sold-out internationalconcerts and performances. They are also known to be experimental with their beauty looks,never afraid to tinker with pigments on their faces and nails, bold and subdued and everythingin between—something that Flormar encourages.

“Makeup makes me feel more empowered. It’s been a part of me as an artist and performer,”Morissette reveals. “Growing up, I’ve had a lot of hits-and-misses, but I enjoyed—and stillenjoy—applying makeup and nail polish every step of the way.”

Though Morissette has her own glam team, she admits to still doing some parts of her makeuproutine. “I like curling my lashes, applying lipstick, doing the flick of my winged liner—I find ittherapeutic!” she adds.

For KZ, makeup makes her feel like she can transform into anything. “I have a ton of fun doingit! Creating looks that express my emotions—isn’t it wonderful how we can do that withmakeup?” she shares.

“Because I move around a lot on stage, I need to have a long-wearing foundation, a non-transferlipstick, and a brow-setting gel in my kit. And since I’m holding a microphone all the time, nailpolish that doesn't chip easily is a must—and I’m glad I can find everything I need fromFlormar,” she adds.

This collaboration of Flomar with the two music giants demonstrates how one art formcontributes to another—music and makeup reverberating with creativity and emotions.

“Growing up, I didn't think I possessed beauty, therefore I never imagined I'd get to talk aboutit. I had a very limited concept of beauty when I was younger, but as time went on, I've come torealize that there are many different types of beauty. We must have the courage to demonstratethe fact that we all possess it and I'm able to do just that with the help of brands like Flormar,”KZ reveals.

It’s truly fascinating how both mood-uppers impact you in vastly different ways but all aroundpulsating with positive feelings, just the way Flormar allows you to color yourself happy.
