Purple makeup comes in many shades and can add some serious glam to even the simplest of looks. Here are 10 brands that carry the elusive shade in their blush and lip lines.
Many assume that purple just doesn’t give fresh and glowy in comparison to the usual pinks, peaches, and classic reds that we always click ‘add to cart’ to.
Did you know that, in color theory, purple cancels out yellow and olive undertones? That makes it the perfect blush shade for most of our Filipina baddies out there! And while we’re at it, you should know that the range of purple shades available vary widely– from pink purples, brown purples, to berry tones. So whether you’re chinita, morena, or mestiza, there’s a purple shade out there just for you.
Check out these 10 local brands, from OGs to game changers, to start your pretty in purple journey:

EVER BILENA
The original kikay kit staple that started it for many of us, Ever Bilena’s release of their EB Advance Lip and Cheek Tint with the shade Perfect Plum sealed the deal even as early as a decade ago! But EB stays our favorite because they continue to step up their game..
VICE COSMETICS
Launched by the one and only, Vice Ganda, Vice Cosmetics was already a sureball for popularity in the beauty scene, but hey, it also delivers! Their Multi Ganda Stick in Purpleism, Soft Veil tint in Mauve Over, and Jelly Berry in their Jelly Tint line, are all standouts for providing that glowing ubelicious pigment.
CARELINE
Recently launching their fun and nostalgic collab with Spongebob (which also has a pretty plum shade), Careline has always been up in their game since the 2000s, bringing in the staples in both our school makeup bags and childhood. For its affordable price range, Careline’s Oil Control Blush in Berry Pop and Boujee shade in their watery tint line are a must-have introduction to purple makeup!
GRWM COSMETICS
The famous Super Taro Milk Tint for both lips and cheeks has been all the rage on BeautyTok for quite awhile now. And while it definitely lives up to the frenzy, there’s more berry beauts that GRWM Cosmetics has to offer. If you’re looking for creamy and delightfully blendable quality, they definitely slay that criteria.
LUCKY BEAUTY
Our it girl Andrea Brilliantes marked her way into the scene with Lucky Beauty, and they’re sure to stay. With the release of their Blush and Lip Cream in the shade Dare, Lucky Beauty’s products can serve as a good dupe for other brands not available locally.
FLARE COSMETICS
This TikTok shop princess definitely deserves the praise. With its wide array of liquid blush shades at very wallet-friendly prices, Flare Cosmetics’ Me Time and Self-Talk is an easy buy to achieve the ultimate lavender pink glow that will have people asking what’s in your bag!
BLK COSMETICS
Anne Curtis knows what’s up, and she proved it with blk cosmetics’ Creamy All Over Paint in Very Peri. It’s another baby violet shade that you just can’t help but be curious to try. They also have a mauve stick blush if you’re going for purple that’s more everyday-coded!
DETAIL COSMETICS
Detail Cosmetics offers a purple shade in all of their product lines: so whether you go for their lovely Serum Stick or cream blush in Haze, lip plumper in Purple Mauve, their Glass Stain in Bitten, or their buttery lipstick in Blackberry Jam, Detail Cosmetics got you covered.
SQUAD COSMETICS
Another all-rounder, Squad Cosmetics provides all of the purple charm for you! Their lip drip in Stunner and Posh are described as the “purple reflect” and “vibrant plum” in their product line, offering a perfect contrast (by purple definitions) to their berries and cream blush shade.
CHUCHU BEAUTY
Reminiscent of the cutesy packaging of Too Faced, Chuchu Beauty’s Miss Dolly took all of our hearts in a sweep! The dolly shade gives off that light and very demure lilac, making it the perfect blush to go with their Grape Juice lip tint.
