Filipino beauty has had its fair share of interesting developments over the last decade, but this year in particular? Exciting. Local beauty brands have been collaborating with makeup artists, beauty creators, celebrities, and even fellow brands to bring something new to the vanity. Beyond lending their names to products, these partnerships bring different perspectives, creative direction, and expertise—especially when professional makeup artists get involved.
As the year comes to a close, we’re looking back at some of the most exciting F-Beauty collaborations that made their mark in 2026.

When F-Beauty Comes Together
Who says brands can’t come together to create something exciting? Lucky Beauty and Paulash, both beauty brands in their own right, joined forces for a simple yet practical eye collection featuring Multi-Use Eyeshadow Wands and six Cluster Lash styles.
Meanwhile, Anne Curtis’ blk cosmetics teamed up with Bea Alonzo’s travel essentials brand BASH* for a collaboration that made traveling with makeup a little more seamless. Think expandable vanity bags designed to fit blk’s travel-ready products, from stick foundations and sunscreen primers to dual-ended blushes and mousse blushes that fit perfectly into BASH*’s charm pouch.
Taking collaboration a step further, fairly new F-Beauty brand Tillo, founded by beauty creator Teree Daisuke, brought together some of the biggest names in local beauty for what it calls the first-ever F-Beauty advent calendar. The calendar featured products from blk cosmetics, Issy, SOLA Beauty, Lucky Beauty, Careline, Vice Cosmetics, Enigma, Squad Cosmetics, Ever Bilena, and Colourette. Tillo also teamed up with Filipino-Canadian creator (and the king of advent calendars) Sean Anthony for its first-ever dual-ended brush, adding another collaboration to an already exciting lineup.
An Expert-Led Year
Some of this year’s most exciting beauty collaborations also came from established makeup artists. After all, who better to develop beauty products than the people who work with different formulas, textures, and techniques every day? Their expertise brings a professional perspective to product development, translating years of experience into products that beauty enthusiasts can enjoy, too.
Makeup artist and product developer Slo Lopez once again brought her artistic sensibilities to Issy with the Multi-Use Liquid Paints, introducing a versatile product that can be worn however the user wants, whether on the eyes, cheeks, or lips.
Jelly Eugenio, meanwhile, has been having quite an impressive year. With Absidy, he brought powder foundation back into the local beauty conversation. He reunited with Faboulash to launch the Coffee Collection, which introduced more shades of the brand’s best-selling Gel Eyeliners and Cluster Lashes, with options for both upper and lower lashes.
Eugenio also launched a base makeup line with Sunnies Face called Skin So Good, featuring color correctors, foundations, blurring powders, and a fixing spray. The collection brings the makeup artist’s signature approach to a flawless base into everyday beauty routines, with products designed for quality performance.
He also made an impressive comeback with SOLA Beauty, this time focusing on skin prep. The lineup includes moisturizers, matte primers, melting mists, and the iconic Dew It Fresh Mist, which now comes in a travel-sized 30mL bottle. And while the year may be winding down, Eugenio’s Instagram bio hints at two more upcoming drops, teasing collections centered on contact lenses and face products. Whether they’ll arrive before the year ends or in 2027 remains under wraps, but we’re certainly looking forward to them.
Creators and Celebrities Make Their Mark
Beyond reviewing our favorite beauty brands and deciding which products deserve a spot on our vanities, content creators and influencers have also been busy bringing their own ideas to life through collaborations with local beauty labels. And this year, we’ve seen plenty of them.
Lierge Perey, for example, has had a particularly busy year. She collaborated with SOLA Beauty on vanity accessories, including a makeup spatula and hair clips, while also becoming the face of the brand’s SPF Plus Ones line.
Alongside her MEGA Digital Cover, she launched her collection with Vice Cosmetics, featuring stackable magnetic palettes, budge-proof lip liners, and satin lipsticks. A few weeks later, she dropped The Lierge Effect, a three-volume brush collection with Dala Global spanning powder, cream, and eye applications. Most recently, her lash collection with Faboulash made a comeback, with even more designs to choose from.
While Toni Sia’s original brush collection with Dala Global was released last year, the two revisited the partnership this year with a remastered version. The updated lineup features softer ArchTech™ Bristles, new brush labels, and an Extended Essentials Set, complete with brushes for versatile applications ranging from powders to liquids.
Happy Skin also had two notable creator collaborations. The brand revisited its collection with Marj Maroket, this time introducing an improved brush set, cream bronzers, and baked blushes that complement the creator’s signature morena glow. A couple of months later, it launched its first-ever men’s line with David Guison. But who says these products are exclusively for men? Think matte and gloss hair waxes, strong-hold gels, sunsticks in zero-shine, matte, and tinted finishes, and a lip balm.
Even actress Lovi Poe joined the lineup of collaborators, teaming up with RSG Cosmetics for a nine-piece brush collection featuring ergonomic handles, anti-bacterial bristles, and dual-ended designs.
There’s something exciting about seeing what happens when different creative minds come together. Whether it’s two brands combining their strengths, a makeup artist bringing years of expertise into product development, or a creator turning their personal beauty favorites into something others can enjoy, these collaborations have given Filipino beauty plenty to celebrate in 2026.
Of course, you don’t need to add every new drop to your vanity, but if you’ve found yourself wanting to pick up a product or two, we certainly wouldn’t blame you. If this year is any indication, F-Beauty still has plenty of surprises up its sleeve. And we can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year.
