Dewy cheeks, glowy skin, sheer stained lips – Count on beauty brand Clinique to set the hottest trends of the season with its ultra-radiant color line-up. Set amidst lush flower patches that echo Clinique’s most vibrant palette, the Bloom & Glow event gathered make-up mavens and lifestyle influencers on May 16 at the chic Balmori Tent in Rockwell, Makati.
It was an afternoon of cocktails, croquet, and chromatic creativity as over 50 guests tried out some of the most coveted beauty essentials. The top picks? A bouquet of the dreamiest pinks and warmest corals of Clinique Cheek Pop blush. The super buildable, long-wearing rouge has been described as an intensely pigmented yet natural-looking, that appears virtually powderless. The blush goes on smooth and dense, with an amazing color payoff that comes in a dozen mood-matching shades. Guests had fun layering on the excellent melt-in-your-skin formula that toes the line between shiny and luminous but never too shimmery. 
Of course, no style statement is complete without the TikTok viral Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. The ever-changing lippie is a cult classic for a reason – its chameleon-like ability to go on differently on every skin tone. The secret for its universally flattering tone? A perfect blend of blue, red, and yellow pigments in a creamy, sheer base that melts into lips, playing up their natural color. Not quite lipstick, not quite gloss, its unique sheer texture is more like a tinted moisture-rich lip balm you can easily layer.
Inspired by the collection’s bold hues, guests got the chance to build their own Clinique make-up kit and try out fan favorites with new and improved formulas and exciting shade additions – the Pop Longwear Lipstick, the Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 20 and the Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula (hailed as one the best selling mascara in Japan).
In between experimenting with different looks at make-up booths, trying their luck at ‘spin the wheel,’ and snapping selfies with larger-than-life floral backdrops, attendees also showcased their artistic talents by customizing their own handcrafted accessories.
The bloom-filled vibe flooded IG feeds everywhere, and guests took to their social media to share their freshest #Bloom&Glow moments.
