10 Best Maybelline Products in the Philippines 2021 (Lipstick, Foundation, and More)

We can all agree that Maybelline has a lot of beauty products that it can get quite dizzying as to where to start. The key is to focus on an area that you wish to emphasize or even out and then make your way from there. 

Makeup can be categorized into face, eyes, lips, and brow products. This makes it easier for you to classify the products, whether you are no stranger to cosmetics or looking to build your makeup kit.  

When it comes to makeup, it all starts with great skin. After all, it will be the canvas upon which you will lay the foundation for your look. Even if you are not going for a full glam look, you will look made up if you have evened out your base.

Maybelline has a great collection of foundations that can stand up to high-end brands. Their formulation is noted for matching with oily skin as well as providing great coverage without piling on the layers. They also have quite an extensive shade range.

If you want to hide dark spots, circles, and acne, their concealers and correctors have a creamy formula that can do the job well at a fraction of the price. 

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and what better way to emphasize them than eye makeup. Whether your go-to is a sultry smoky or an everyday neutral look, you can be sure that there is something that can match your preferences.

If you have sparse lashes, you can lengthen them with their iconic mascara. Fun fact, Maybelline and Rimmel were the first to develop the mascara we enjoy today. In addition, if you want something dramatic, you can opt for bold, statement eyeliner. 

Sometimes a swipe of lippie is all it takes to look made up in an instant when you are in a rush. A bold red lipstick can do wonders for your looks and confidence. If you want something long-lasting, try their liquid lipstick line. They also have tinted lip balms, which work in a pinch if you need that extra moisture boost for your lips.

If you want something more muted, we suggest going for an MLBB or my-lips-but-better look. It has risen steadily in the past years. This pertains to products that provide just a wash of color that makes your lips look natural, and Maybelline has quite the collection of those.

The eyebrows are another thing that can easily make you look made up without much effort as these quite literally frame your face. This way, you won’t have to exert much effort. Maybelline offers an array of eyebrow tools, from pencils to powders, that can easily complete your look. 

Selecting the right shade is just as crucial as choosing the type of product. You want your makeup to look as natural as possible. This means picking out shades that closely resemble your skin. You could always try those virtual try one makeup features, but having an idea of what complements you also comes in handy.

Picking your makeup shade can be tricky if it is for foundation. You want to remain as natural as possible and not like you have a mask on your face. You also want to avoid the dreaded demarcation line between your neck and face. 

Do not swatch on your arm as it is a different shade from your face. Apply it on your chest or even your jawline. Don't worry about picking the exact match, it is fine to go a bit lighter as foundation tends to oxidize as it reacts to the oils on your face and the environment. Keep in mind your skin's undertones as well.  

The same principle applies to your brows. Go one shade lighter. It is easier to build up the product than to remove it, especially if you make a mistake. You also don't want to make your brows appear heavily drawn in or almost cartoonish.  

Knowing your skin's undertone is also important when choosing lipsticks, as these tell you what colors match you best. Basically, there are 3: cool, warm, and neutral. To give you an idea, your lip color should not make you look washed out but have a brightening effect instead. 

Cool-toned individuals have blue or purple veins prominent on their arms and tend to burn when exposed to the sun. Silver jewelry also matches well. Blue and purple based colors are a match as well. Think cranberry and wine shades. 

Those with warm skin tone have green veins and tan under the sun. Gold jewelry also looks better on you. Look for lippies with warm tones and orange hues. Neutral undertones, on the other hand, are a mix of both cool and warm undertones. So, you can feel free to mix and match colors as you have a variety at your disposal.

Makeup products have different formulations ranging from powder, liquid, cream, and gels. There is no right or wrong answer; it depends on your skin type and preference. If your skin is on the drier side, you can get away with liquid foundations, while those with oily skin are more equipped to deal with powders.  

As for lipstick, if you want a matte look, you can go for a liquid lipstick. These also last longer on the lips. On the other hand, traditional liquid lipsticks give you the convenience of easier application. Again, the formula you choose will base on your preference, and in some cases, your experience applying makeup.

For a drugstore brand, Maybelline has a reputation for offering long-wearing products that will get you through the entire day. This is handy, especially in a climate as humid as ours when even your morning commute can melt off your makeup. Their products are suitable from daily makeup to special occasion type of looks. 

Look at the labels or tags if you want a waterproof option. Waterproof makeup will ensure that your "face" will last longer even under the rain or after heavy sweating during commute.

You might be surprised but Maybelline does offer hypoallergenic products. It is great if you have sensitive skin seeing as it is both accessible and affordable. This is especially true for their mascaras and some of their foundations, you just have to check which one. 

The wait is over! Here are our top picks for the best Maybelline products you can buy from online shops like Lazada, Shopee, BeautyMNL, and Zalora. Happy reading!

Wearing makeup can seem pointless because it is covered by face masks anyway. Maybelline spokesperson Emily Didonato gives a quick tutorial on how you can still wear makeup while wearing a face mask. The trick is to use long-wearing products to avoid any transfer. 

Here is the step-by-step guide:

1. Concealer. First, apply concealer all over your under-eye and forehead. This is to help brighten up the center of your face. Blend the concealer.
2. Eyebrows. Brush up your eyebrows as this helps to define their shape. Fill in your eyebrows by beginning from the center and work your way outwards as it provides a more natural effect. Use a clear brow gel to help keep them in place and create a feathered look. 
3. Eyeliner. Using a gel or pencil eyeliner as it is more blendable, line your upper and lower lids, keeping as close to the lash line as possible. It helps if the color is a bold one to really accentuate the eyes. Gently blend them with your finger to create a smoky effect. It also works as a great base for eyeshadow. 
4. Mascara. Curl your lashes and apply the mascara onto your top lashes.
5. Lips. Use your fingers to dab liquid lipstick onto your lips. Liquid lipstick is great for masks as it does not really transfer or smudge, unlike regular lipsticks. 
6. Setting Spray. Once you are done applying your makeup, spritz a bit of setting spray. It helps lock your makeup in place. Make sure it is completely dry before putting on your face mask. 

Thinking about building your own makeup kit? What about gift ideas? These makeup products make for great basics to start your kikay kit or as gifts for the holidays.
