Makeup has always been an ally, providing queer kids with an outlet for self-expression. In celebration of Pride Month, Barenbliss Philippines proudly launches its newest products: the Mochi Highlighter and Duo Palette. Both are inspired by the brand’s best-selling Moist Mochi Paste Powder Blush, known for its bouncy texture—a well-loved staple in every BNBae Kit. These new highlighters and the duo palette feature the same unique mochi paste-to-powder formula, now enhanced with a radiant shimmer to restore the face’s natural depth and dimension.
Bouncing Gleam
The Mochi Highlighter is available in three luminous shades—Cranberry Crush, Cream Soda, and Amber Pear—while the Duo Palette comes in Tropical Duo, featuring a brontour in Amber Pear and a highlighter in Honey Champagne. These products check all the boxes: blendability, water resistance, and a 12-hour long-wear formula—making them perfect for Philippine weather and all-day wear.
Seen on the Scene
Continuing the celebration, Barenbliss Philippines hosted a special Pride event, barenbliss: Peach Gleams Pride, at SOS in Poblacion, Makati, last June 19. The event brought together beauty and lifestyle content creators, along with influential voices from the LGBTQ+ community. The night featured a show-stopping drag performance by Bella Fox—a dynamic queen known for her versatility and flair across creative industries. Guests enjoyed free-flowing drinks inspired by barenbliss’ latest releases, including the scene-stealer Peach Makes Perfect Steel Lip Tint, available throughout the month.
Bounce with No Bounds: On Safe Spaces & Makeup
As Pride Month continues, so does barenbliss’ commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community through its “Bounce with No Bounds” campaign—an ode to safe spaces and showing up as your most authentic self, especially in places where you feel most vulnerable and proud.
For this campaign, Barenbliss tapped queer models, a prominent gay influencer (Brian Tabelin @briseemstired), a drag queen in progress (Bella Fox @msbellafox), and a trans icon (Jamie Casino @jamiecasino)—all proudly representing the vibrant spectrum of the community while embracing the power of self-expression and beauty beyond societal norms. With this, barenbliss Philippines invites everyone to glow with pride and celebrate beauty in all its gleaming, joyful forms.
