The recently-concluded BYS Fashion Week was not just a celebration of Filipino design talent, it was also a venue in which the power of makeup was put front and center! Every single collection that was sent down the runway was beautifully complemented by amazing works of makeup art—from some of the country's most talented makeup artists, powered by the wide range of products offered by BYS Cosmetics.

And while some may have the notion that runway looks aren't 'wearable', we beg to disagree. We now live in a day and age of self expression, where fashion is like our second skin, and where beauty is the means by which we celebrate who we are. We were able to catch up with Gery Penaso, the professional makeup artist who spearheaded this year's BYS Fashion Week beauty direction, and according to him, every designer had a makeup vision in mind, and with the power of BYS Cosmetics, those visions were made into reality.

Some of our favorite looks are seen below, with some of the top BYS products you'll need to cop in order to re-create the looks yourself, even off the runway.
