Just a few weeks ago, Korean makeup brand barenbliss launched its From Korea, With Love campaign in celebration of its second anniversary in the Philippines. To mark the special occasion, the K-Beauty brand gave away an exclusive curated makeup guide as part of a bigger love letter for Filipinos. While the kits are very limited and are only raffled off on their social media pages and influencers, we want to make sure no one misses out on the fun so Manila Millennial is here to give you a look at all the contents and their tips on how to create a flawless look using – of course – barenbliss products!

barenbliss, a professional clean beauty brand born out of Seoul, Korea, believes in the philosophy that everyone has the right to “Joyful Clean Beauty.” With products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic, so rest assured we’re in good hands.

Inside the book-turned-makeup kit, you’ll find barenbliss Founder Jina Kim’s message which reads:

To My BNBae,

As we celebrate two wonderful years in the Philippines, my heart is filled with immense joy and gratitude for your unwavering trust and support. This journey has been incredible, and we are truly honored to be a part of you beauty rituals.

This book, filled with our cherished memories, symbolizes the beautiful moments we’ve shared together. Each product within is a testament to our commitment to joyful, clean beauty that harmonizes with your vibrant spirit. Here’s to creating many more memories together as we continue to grow and bring you the very best of barenbliss.

By the way, the weather has been lovely and sunny here in Korea. How is it in the Philippines?

With heartfelt appreciation and love,

Jina Kim

The next page is where it gets interesting! While the products can be purchased from their website, e-commerce pages, and in physical stores, the book contains some tips:

1. Create a smooth base with Bloomatte 6-in-1 Foundation Stick or Hi-Cover Foundation Balm

This multifunctional product conceals, covers, and protects with UV defense, all while delivering a matte finish. It’s a lightweight yet high-coverage base that is self-setting and lasts up to 16 hours! According to barenbliss, it’s best to moisturize the skin well before use and start with a small amount of product. The Foundation Balm is buildable to suit your desired coverage.

2. Set your look with Fine to Refine Compact Powder

This lightweight powder absorbs excess oil, controls shine, and blurs imperfections, leaving your skin with a soft, velvety finish. Ideal for touch-ups throughout the day, it helps maintain a fresh, shine-free look while minimizing the appearance of pores.

3. Add a healthy glow with Moist Mochi Paste Powder Blush

Introduce a touch of color to your cheeks with the Moist Mochi Paste Powder Blush. This blush features a silky, buildable formula that seamlessly blends into your skin, creating a natural, dewy flush. Available in a range of shades, it enhances all skin tones, adding a vibrant and healthy glow to your complexion.

4. Perfect that pout with Full Bloom Transferproof Matte Tint

This creamy matte tint glides on effortlessly and stays on for hours! barenbliss advises that we moisturize our lips before use in order to help the product apply more evenly. Just one swipe over bare lips would be enough for a gorgeous pop of color. 90 Tulip Flush is my favorite! Other options for lippies would be their Gold Makes Gorgeous Lip Balm and Silver Makes Stunning Lip Balm topped with Plum Makes Plumping Lip Gloss.

5. Finish with a Locklook Matte Setting Spray

To ensure that all the products you used would not budge, finish the look by spraying Locklook Matte Setting Spray – a mattifying and skin-soothing setting spray that keeps the makeup in place and smoothens the complexion. Pro tip would be to shake well before each use and make sure that your eyes are closed during application. When spraying, it would be best to hold the bottle about 8 inches away from the face and apply it in circular motion for even distribution.

The five products would already be enough to create a range of looks, from effortlessly natural to boldly glamorous. Just make sure to pick the right shade for your skin tone, too!
