Happy Skin came at a perfect time. It was the year 2013 when the launched, a time when majority of Pinays were slowly getting into enhancing their features with makeup and taking care of their skin. Being a cosmetics brand that proudly creates makeup that can act like skincare, it was expected that they would hit the jackpot—and they did.
Everyone was ecstatic that a local brand can go head-to-head with international labels. With every collection Happy Skin came out with, stocks would fly out of the shelves as soon as it was launched. A good example would be their recent collaboration with Kathryn Bernardo, Generation Happy Skin: It sold out on its first release.
Their fastest moving product? Lipsticks, of course! They have mastered creating the shades that are flattering for the Filipina. They also aced the perfect finish—a matte lippie that never feels dry on the lips. If you're looking into starting your own collection of their lippies, we asked Happy Skin's Jacq Guttierrez the most-wanted lipstick shades from their brand. In no particular order, here are the ones that made the list!
