Want to spark some joy to your minimal beauty routine? Go big, bold, and bright with colorful makeup from proudly Filipino beauty brands.
These days, for some, makeup is the last thing on their mind. And this compartmentalizing of a concern is totally understandable, especially in the big picture sense. After all, there are more pressing considerations to think of on a daily basis. Now, while a lot have edged beauty into the backburner for the time being, pared the exhaustive routine into the bare and best essentials, or ditched it completely in favor of a committed switch to skincare, there are those days when you want to have a lot more fun. Yes, the blushes and nudes are tried and true classics that will serve you well, but when all we do is mostly serve face in the virtual plane, a dash of colorful makeup is a welcome change.
When the pervading context is dominated by gloom and doom, one of the easiest ways to chase the Eeyore-like rainclouds away is to go bright and bold with colorful makeup. In the same function as a good workout or a Netflix binge is for some, playing around with cosmetics is that shot of much-needed happiness. It doesn’t even have to be the whole razzle and dazzle of what once was. A swipe of your not-so usual lipstick on your puckers or a decided dab of color on the lids is enough to lift the spirits and make you smile, at least for a moment. Yes, there have been psychological studies specifically discussing this phenomenon.
