With just a few months under their belt and a growing fan base, Happy Skin is making it’s way to the front line as one of the country’s leading local beauty brands. Spearheaded by beauty veterans Jacque Yuengtian-Gutierrez and Rissa Mananquil-Trillo, Happy Skin is made with the Filipina’s skin care needs in mind.
I couldn’t have been more excited to try their products out so I made it my top priority to get some over the holiday.
Don’t Get Mad Get Even Foundation
There are three available shades for this particular foundation and I originally bought Natural Beige thinking that it was the closest to my skin colour. Unfortunately, trying it on the following morning made me realise what a big mistake that was. It was too orangey unlike when I tried it on in the store (which goes to show how significant lighting is when testing your shade) so, I went back and got Soft Beige instead. This time it was perfect.

There are a couple of things I’d like to point out about this product. First off, it covers redness beautifully. I tried Natural Beige on my sister and it instantly neutralised the redness of her cheeks while covering most blemishes.
Secondly, this product has medium coverage and no matter how much you layer it on, it still feels incredibly lightweight. The foundation is also build-able, concealing skin discolourations well.
Although, applying more layers makes this foundation look cake-y up-close. I suggest applying one layer if you'd prefer a natural look.
Third, this product lasts for more than 8 hours without coming off so it's perfect for work, school, etc.
I do, however, find the blend ability of this product to be average. It sets too quickly into the skin and the consistency isn't as creamy as other foundations are.
*This product would be perfect for events because it gives you long-lasting coverage and it’s super lightweight.
Packaging:
What’s not to love? The witty name, the simple yet cute design, the high-quality material of the bottle; everything about it is just well thought out.
The product comes in a 30ml squeeze-type bottle. Its small size and light weight make it easy for travelling.

- Good medium, build-able coverage (covers redness well)
- Travel friendly
- Good packaging
- Lightweight despite the number of layers you place
- Stays on for a good 8 hours and up
Cons
- Limited colour range
- Average blend ability
