In case you missed my recent video, I swatched all 25 shades of GRWM Cosmetics’ new Daily Skin Tint, laid them out, blended them into my wrist, compared undertones, and double‑checked in daylight. And oh boy, was I surprised! It’s my first time seeing a genuinely inclusive range that covers the fair‑to‑deep spectrum you actually see in Manila (and beyond) without leaving that telltale “mask” finish. If you’ve been hunting for a skin tint that behaves like skin and isn’t too oily, GRWM’s latest collection feels intentionally made for millennial life — light, practical, and quietly confident.
Rooted in the brand’s Breathe Beauty philosophy, All About That Base Volume II is less about covering up and more about enhancing what’s already there. The collection aims to make base makeup feel effortless with its lightweight formulas, wearable finishes, and shade options that don’t make you choose between looking like yourself and looking polished. There’s a lot in the collection but let me try to summarize it per product range:
Daily Skin Tint
The hero product in the line would be the 25-shade Daily Skin Tint. It’s breathable, has demi‑to‑ultra matte finish, and built around skin‑soothing ingredients like Nocinamike, Vecon Ceramide, and Centella Asiatica leaf extract. The formula sits comfortably on skin. One swipe evens out tone and blurs minor texture, while a second thin layer boosts coverage without getting cakey. Where it stood out for me was undertone variety. The line includes cools, warms, and neutrals across the spectrum, and the matches integrated into my skin instead of sitting on top.
Price: ₱599 (intro ₱499). Pro tip: grab a shade sampler so you can test in different light.
Mini Daily Skin Tint
In 4 words: Trial size, big convenience! Not everyone wants to commit to a full bottle right away, and that’s where the Mini Daily Skin Tint comes in handy. At a smaller price point and size, the mini is a low‑risk way to find your match, especially useful if you’re switching seasons, skin routine, or if you like to travel light. The formula is the same, packed into a pocketable format for on‑the‑go refreshes.
Price: ₱249 (intro ₱199)
Fresh Matte line
If your skin is on the oily side or you prefer a more matte finish, the Fresh Matte offers base saviors: Fresh Matte Skintone, Fresh Matte Color Correctors, and a Fresh Matte Shade Shifter. These products lean into oil control without looking flat, and they keep shine in check while helping makeup stay in place through humid commutes and long meetings. This is my go-to combo as a matte-loving girly!
Price: Fresh Matte Skintone ₱399 (intro ₱349) / Color correctors & Shade Shifter ₱399 each (intro ₱349)
Radiance Tint
For days when you want soft luminosity or dewy finish, the Radiance Tint gives skin a hydrated, blurred glow. It’s the pick for low‑effort “woke up like this” looks or when you want skin to appear naturally lit from within. The Radiance Tint family also includes shade‑specific samplers to help you find the right glow for your tone.
Price: Radiance Tint Skintone ₱399 (intro ₱299). Color correctors ₱399 (intro ₱299).
GRWM Life‑Proof Fixing Spray
To finish the look, GRWM’s Life‑Proof Fixing Spray round out the collection for those who need extra staying power. The spray keeps makeup in place through weather, sweat, and long days. Quite handy for people juggling multiple roles, late nights, or unpredictable Manila weather.
What makes All About That Base Volume II click for younger, millennial beauty lovers isn’t only the formulas, though, but also the mindset. GRWM’s inclusivity (25 shades is a statement), practical pricing, sampler options, and ingredient choices that support skin health all speak to a demographic that values authenticity, function, and ethics in their beauty buys.
Speaking of ethics, GRWM also tied the launch to values—sustainability partnerships and community advocacy—so the brand isn’t only selling makeup. It’s selling something you’d actually believe in. For many shoppers like me, that context matters as much as coverage. All About That Base Volume II is already available online and in select stores: GRWM’s official site, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.
