Lipstick in your bag? Make it ultra. 

If there is one thing you should never leave home without (besides your cellphone), it’s lipstick. Yes, that little bullet of color is your ride-or-die. It gives the main character energy throughout the day. 

In summer, when the atmosphere is all about keeping things fresh and airy, simplicity is the key to beauty because no one has time for a full beat under the tropical sun. Even when your makeup is minimal, the goal is to highlight your natural beauty. After all, makeup is intended to accentuate, not conceal, your natural shine.

And, guess what? There are no rules for makeup. Want to wear a strong red lip with no foundation? Do it. Want to deliver glossy lips during a grocery run? Slay. 

The golden rule: do everything for yourself as long as you do not harm anyone else. But, let’s candidly admit it: how many times have you fallen in love with a lipstick shade only to find that it looks completely different on your lips? The struggle is all too real, but Filipinas do not have to deal with it longer. Ultra Lipstick is the ultimate triple threat, ready to take over and turn heads. It’s not just bold; it’s also ultra-comfortable, gratifying and luxurious.

Avon Ultra Lipstick recently had a moment at Kondwi in Poblacion, Makati, where icons Maymay Entrata and Kyline Alcantara, as well as professional MUAs Mickey See and Gela Laurel, presented a next-level workshop. It had “lipstick 101 but make it runway-ready” vibes.

This is why you’ll want to get one. Firstly, it is quite comfortable. It’s formulated with nourishing oil mixes, so it glides on smoothly and cuddles your lips like a soft cushion. Say goodbye to crusty, dry-lip drama halfway through the day—hydrated lips with a high fashion twist.

Ultra Satisfying? Double check. Tired of being duped by lipstick colors? Same. But this lipstick? It’s true. The tint you see in the tube is exactly what you get on your lips. One stroke equals instant chef’s kiss pigment, which is bold and bright.  And the kicker? Extremely wealthy. Ultra Color HD Pigment Tech provides 25 percent more pigment, resulting in rich, eye-catching color that pops on any skin tone.

Summer in the Philippines is all about looking good without working too hard, and nothing beats the right lippie. Imagine you’re on a sunset date in Palawan, the sky’s on fire, and your bright red-orange lip is winning hearts. Or you’re hurrying to get a coffee in BGC while wearing a nude-pink color that shouts clean girl yet is Filipino. Then there’s the typical beach party in La Union, with your coral-peach lip exuding sunkissed, salty-hair enthusiasm as you groove to acoustic sounds by the beach. Don’t underestimate your working girl fit with terracotta lips. The best part? It’s yours for just P309. That’s a fantastic deal for something that will quickly become a beauty bag staple.
