You’re in For a Ride with BLK Cosmetics’ Newest Collection
It’s no secret that commuting in the Philippines comes with its own set of challenges. So, shouldn’t our beauty routine keep up, too? That’s the idea behind BLK Cosmetics’ Universal: Made to Last Collection.
Whether you’re a student trying to stay fresh through back-to-back classes and deadlines, a busy bee who wants to look presentable through endless meetings, or simply someone who loves going out and about despite the hassle of getting there, keeping up with the day can be a problem of its own.
With three new products, BLK Cosmetics takes on the challenge of everyday commute. Here’s a closer look at what the collection has in store.
First Stop: Prime it Up with the Universal Matte Grip Gel Primer
The secret to a good base? A primer that helps keep things in place.
The Universal Matte Grip Gel Primer is a lightweight, gel-like primer that helps blur the look of pores and control excess oil while creating a smooth canvas for makeup. Its formula contains niacinamide, squalane, and camellia extract, with a smooth, translucent matte finish once applied.
As it settles, the primer leaves a smooth, translucent matte finish. Its gripping formula also helps create a base for the rest of your makeup, making it a fitting first step before heading out for the day.
With the base prepped, it’s time for the next stop.
Next Station: Loose Powder, But Better
Next up is the Universal Loose Powder 12HR Setting Spray, a setting spray that brings the feel of loose powder into a liquid mist through its Micro-Powder Suspension Technology.
The formula suspends ultra-fine powder particles in the spray, which leaves a soft matte finish while helping absorb excess oil, control shine, and set makeup for up to 12 hours. It also keeps the finish smooth without feeling patchy or heavy.
So when the heat starts creeping in, refreshing your makeup can be as simple as a quick spritz. It’s an easy step to add in between stops, before moving on with the rest of your day.
Final Stop: Leave a Trace with a New Signature Scent
The final stop of the collection is Second Skin, a universal scent meant to last throughout the day.
As a unisex fragrance, it opens with the citrusy notes of bergamot and mandarin, followed by neroli and soft iris at the heart. It then settles into a warmer base of sandalwood, musk, and a hint of amber. It comes in two sizes, 20ml and 50ml, making it easy to bring along anywhere.
Second Skin is also made to last for up to 12 hours, making it a fitting addition to days spent moving from school to work, running errands, making spontaneous plans, or simply going with the flow.
With its mix of citrus, floral, and warm notes, it leaves an impression that lingers just a little longer.
You’ve Just Arrived at Your Destination!
The commute can be a hassle and the weather can be unpredictable, but getting ready doesn’t have to be. BLK Cosmetics’ Universal: Made to Last collection brings an interesting take on everyday beauty products.
From prepping the base and setting the makeup to adding a little scent, these small rituals can find their place in the moments before heading out. Rather than calling for a complete transformation, the collection works around the idea of building a routine from the things that already feel familiar.
