The weather might be feeling a bit gloomy lately, but that’s certainly no reason to let your makeup routine follow suit. We’re shaking off the gray skies by injecting some much-needed color and creativity back into our vanity tables with the season's latest beauty breakthroughs.
From playful multiuse liquid paints to skin-saving mists and must-have lip treatments, we’ve rounded up everything you need to brighten your day.
Check them out below.
NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation
Finding a foundation that balances high-impact coverage with a weightless, non-sticky feel is a common struggle for anyone juggling a busy lifestyle.
Enter the NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation, P3,150, which solves this dilemma by delivering medium-to-full coverage in an unexpectedly breathable, serum-like formula.
Designed to stay fresh for 24 hours, it instantly blurs imperfections for a soft-focus, matte finish without that heavy, tacky residue we all try to avoid.
Not just that, it also works to improve skin texture and pore appearance in just two weeks thanks to its advanced Pore-Refining Trio technology.
Available in 39 shades.
Popique Hair & Body Mist
Battling unpredictable Philippine weather and long daily commutes just got easier with the launch of Popique’s first-ever Fresh Start Hydrating Hair & Body Mist collection.
This two-in-one essential combines fragrance and hydration into a lightweight, travel-friendly bottle designed to refresh both your hair and skin without any sticky residue.
Available for P599 per bottle, the line comes in five summer-inspired, tropical scents: Coco Rush, Desert Mist, Ocean Bloom, Sugar Petal, and Sun Spell. Each fragrance is crafted to provide an instant mid-day reset for anyone constantly on the go under the sun.
Shoppers can grab theirs via Lazada, TikTok Shop, and Shopee.

ISSY
Get ready to play with color on an entirely new level as ISSY launches two new collections for the eyes and lips.
The first is a collaboration with Slo Lopez for a limited-edition launch designed for uninhibited self-expression. The Multiuse Liquid Paint, P399 each, a versatile color medium made to be mixed, layered, softened, and customized into something entirely your own. Divided into three sets—Brights for high-impact, statement-making mattes; Neutrals for grounding shapes, depth, and definition; and Reflects for light-catching shimmers that add dimension and controlled shine—this collection treats your face as a blank canvas.
Amplifying the lineup just ahead is the Lip Lacquer, a high-pigment liquid formula designed to glide on smoothly with a lacquered shine, wearing comfortably for hours before settling into a soft, subtle stain.
Available in six versatile nude shades ranging from the muted rose of Cowgirl and light baby pink of Behave to the deep, cool brown of Risk.

For kissable lips, these glazes are packed with a peptide-rich, plumping formula that keeps your lips deeply hydrated, high-shine, and totally comfortable. They’re paraben-free, cruelty-free, and come with a dreamy no-mess applicator.
The collection drops exclusively on Shopee today, August 21—so go ahead and add all four to your cart, because one is never enough!
