<p>When it comes to the latest in Filipino beauty this month, it’s about big collections that realize your artistry. </p><div><br/></div><p><strong>Vice Cosmetics</strong> re-launches its 2018 Aura Cheek Collection this year as the <strong>Aura Collection</strong> with the hashtag #PresentYourAURA. Fans of the brand—fondly called <em>Gandolls</em>—will find a complete range of blushes, highlighters, and contour powders linked to Vice Cosmetics’ best-sellers. The collection also includes eyeshadow quads inspired by today’s trends. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c0270abb-d2ea-43d6-86b5-47b71ac3fc6c_357814040_996063245165457_5805817872219425667_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Vice Cosmetics Aura Collection</span></span></span></div><p>Contained in cute, clear packaging, the Lit Up Tri-Palette in “Solsitice Dream” and “Midsummer Lights” is a hybrid of a blush, bronzer, and finishing powder. It is the first multidimensional palette in the Philippines that promises a soft focus filtered look. </p><div><br/></div><p>The Soft Gaze Eyeshadow Quads combine silky mattes and  shiny glimmers so you can recreate that Korean Aegyosal trend. Choose among “Golden Dusk”, “Sunset Hues”, and “Pink Dawn”.</p><div><br/></div><p>Blush Mood comes in four shades: “Apricot Crush”, “Warm Berry”, “Soft Mauve”, and “Cozy Coral”. All of then provide buildable formula for you to achieve that natural flushed look. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/e2085faa-6844-410f-a4ab-7972fd638746_358206043_981058223211427_8227378909380596047_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>So Sculpted revists Vice Cosmetics’ beloved contour shades “Porshur” and  “Confeeerm” as “Latte Brown” and “Toasty Cocoa” respectively. These longwearing shades promise that snatched face. You can also use them as an eyeshadow for that universally-flattering look.  </p><div><br/></div><p>Glow Spell completes the Aura Collection with the shades “Champagne” and “Rosé.” You get a soft pearlesecent glow in a long-wearing formula. You can wear one shade on its own or combine them both for a blend that’s ready for the party. </p><div><br/></div><p>The collection saw its formal press launch at Vestido the Studio in Makati. The celebration lasted all night, starting with a short program hosted by Jaz Reyes. TikTok creators, beauty influencers, and friends of the brand were treated to custom cocktails, tarot &amp; aura readings by Ea Torrado, photo walls, a sticker/bejeweling bar, and fun games. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/metro-beauty-haul-july-17-2023/35933" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Metro Beauty Haul: Hardworking Makeup &amp; Skincare Finds</a></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/af5f3c27-c5b6-4b82-af96-e749503156d3_359843573_166940986395299_2187763969409231422_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Teviant Velvet Drop</span></span></span></div><p>July 2023 also marks a big milestone in the timeline of <strong>Teviant</strong>, the brand by makeup artist Albert Kurniawan. Say hello to <strong>Velvet Drop</strong>: a multi-use tinted mousse serum in a jar. The product is Teviant’s first big launch in the post-pandemic world. Velvet Drop offers a revolutionary approach to makeup, true to Kurniawan’s 18 years of experience as one of the most-sought after makeup artists.</p><div><br/></div><p>Velvet Drop can be used for the eyes, lips, and cheeks. It is features a light, airy formula that is easy-to-blend and high-pigmentation. One dot goes a long way. The serum element comes from its skincare ingredients such as cutleaf ground cherry, rosemary leaf extract, sunflower seed oil, Vitamin E, and caprylic/capric triglyceride. </p><div><br/></div><p>The collection features eight shades and two finishes. There are the mattes in “Revel” (pomegranate), “Gala Night” (dusty pink), “Sucre” (cool toned pink), “Garden Rose” (muted Bordeaux), “Sex Appeal” (muted toasted peach), and “Cacao” (cool toned brown). “Holly Glow” (frosted pearl) and “Celestial” (champagne) both have an illuminating finish. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/d3340694-b9bf-4cf3-9e8a-5365378a343c_361538347_267556205886244_2306381865934160494_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Kurniawan hosted an all-day event for the launch at Raffles Hotel Makati. Brunch was shared with chosen members of the press while the afternoons saw beauty queens, influencers, and friends of Teviant drop by. In the evening, actresses Heart Evangelista, Ara Mina, and Barbie Imperial showed their support. </p><div><br/></div><p>The event featured a presentation by Kurniawan wherein he demonstrated how the shades can be used on their own or how they can be combined to create a custom color. Velvet Drop allows you to be your own makeup artist, crafting a signature shade all the time. You can mix  “Revel” and “Holly Glow” for that throwback frosted lipstick. “Cacao” can be used on its own for contouring or mixed with some “Celestial” to create a bronzer. The blends are infinite and are only limited by your imagination. </p><div><br/></div><p>Velvet Drop gives credence to Kurniawan’s dedication to his brand. He reveals how he road tested the shades for a long time on his clients, without revealing much at first. He also talked about regular trips to Italy, where Teviant is made, in order to get the color and formula just right in the laboratories. </p><div><br/></div><p>Velvet Drop is promised to be but the first of many launches Teviant has lined up for the next seasons. </p><div><br/></div><div><em>Shop Vice Cosmetics <a href="https://www.lazada.com.ph/vice-cosmetics/?spm=a2o4l.10450891.0.0.3771f8dbrnp7vW&amp;q=All-Products&amp;shop_category_ids=1211710&amp;from=wangpu&amp;sc=KVUG" target="_blank">here</a>.</em></div><div><em>Shop Teviant <a href="https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/teviant-velvet-drop-multi-use-tinted-mousse-serum-6g-i3983738747-s21474680848.html?spm=a2o4l.10450891.0.0.73b12346laf7dR&amp;search=store&amp;mp=3" target="_blank">here</a>.</em></div>
