These are the most prominent Filipino actors who have ventured into the business of beauty and wellness, plus where you can find their products and branches
Beauty and wellness go hand in hand. After all, if you feel good, you look good—and vice versa. It’s also undeniable that this industry is thriving, especially now that many celebrities add their own contributions by opening businesses or collaborating with pre-existing ones. In the West, there was an ’00s trend with artists and fragrances, then actors with skincare in the 21st century. The same can be said in the Philippines where many celebrated artists double as entrepreneurs and business owners. In this list, we round up 10 standout beauty and wellness brands with famous faces at the helm, delving into everything from makeup and nails to personal wellness products.
Andrea Brillantes
Actress Andrea Brillantes entered her multi-hyphenate entrepreneur era when she unveiled her very own makeup brand in 2023. Dubbed Lucky Beauty, the brand stands out among others of its kind by branding its makeup products as wearable lucky charms. If you’re interested in browsing the artist’s products, check it out on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. Notably, Lucky Beauty recently released a collection of multi-use liquid pigments, making it the perfect companion for those who lean more toward monochromatic makeup looks.
Sofia Andres
We also can’t forget actress Sofia Andres who founded her brand, Zoe Essentials—named after her daughter—in the middle of the pandemic. Zoe Essentials set the standard for the “new normal” with its offerings of alcohol sprays and bodywashes, all of which come in a variety of unique scents. You can browse Zoe Essentials products online and make your orders on its official Instagram page as well as in stores at Rockwell, Molito, SM Aura, and Mitsukoshi BGC.
Vice Ganda
There’s no doubt that artist Vice Ganda revolutionized the local beauty industry when he founded Vice Cosmetics in 2017. Even now, the eponymous makeup brand maintains its relevancy through its quality yet affordable products, which come in a wide range and are 100% cruelty-free. As it is an accessible and far-reaching brand, you can find Vice Cosmetics on e-commerce sites like Lazada and TikTok shop, on shelves at SM and Watsons, as well as in physical stores across the country.
Anne Curtis
In case you haven’t heard, Anne Curtis is not just the face of blk Cosmetics but also the Creative Director of the brand, as well as its co-founder alongside CEO Jacqe Yuengtian-Gutierrez. What makes blk Cosmetics especially noteworthy is how it embraces clean beauty, with its products being 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made using only ethically sourced and skin-loving ingredients. You can find the brand on e-commerce sites like Zalora, its official website, and in malls like One Ayala and UP Town Center.
