6 reasons your Halloween plans should include a makeup-inspired drink
Halloween in the Philippines is getting a beauty upgrade. On October 30 and 31, 2026, a wave of cafes and bars from Metro Manila to Luzon, Cebu and Davao will serve Halloween drinks inspired by makeup.
Here is what to know before you go:
1. It is happening in more places than ever
What started in Poblacion is now a nationwide event in its fourth year. Participating spots are in Katipunan, Molito, BGC, Makati, Bulacan, Pampanga, Baguio, Cebu and Davao. Venues include Tipple & Slaw, Tipple Cafe, Angkan Coffee, Versus Barcade, Polilya, Bolo Coffee Club, Atmosfera, Cafe Resé, Black Ball, The Ampersand, U.T.S., Gamut Bar + Kitchen and The Pre-Game Social.
2. There is a drink for everyone
The lineup includes both alcoholic and nonalcoholic options, so the whole group can join in, whether you are planning a bar crawl or a cafe catch-up.
3. Your order might come with free makeup
The first 50 customers at each venue who order the featured Halloween drink get a free beauty product. Arrive early, since the freebie runs out once the first 50 are claimed.
4. The full menu is still a secret
Only a taste of the spooky-chic menu has been revealed so far. The complete lineup of beauty-inspired creations has not been announced, so expect surprises.
5. There is a board game built around the hunt
Halloween beauty-hunt board game lets you play along while exploring the participating venues. Each stop has treats inspired by the featured makeup products, which turns a night out into a scavenger hunt.
6. You could win the whole collection
Five exclusive PR kits, each with all 13 products from this year's lineup, are up for grabs.
