Makeup-artist-turned-actress Solenn Heusaff is the local brand ambassador of "Collection," the vibrant cosmetics line from the United Kingdom which was launched in Manila on June 19 at the Rockwell Tent in Makati City.

All roads led to the Rockwell Tent the night of June 19, when another British Invasion hit Manila with colours that ranged from highstreet hues of hot pink to London bus red to the gold sheen of The Beatles. Full of sassiness and spice, girls from the metro were giddy with excitement.

One of the biggest make up brands from the UK, Collection, has finally come to Manila and the stylista crowd clamored for the latest must-haves for the fashionably adventurous. Collection launched its products with a bang with the season’s fanciest and quirkiest trends in makeup.

The Rockwell Tent was transformed into a colourful London high street. British music and images that are distinctive of the UK added to the edgy atmosphere, like the iconic red phone booth, the Grenadier Guards, and the Union Jack.

Anglophiles and fashion mavens arrived in a multitude of colours to represent Collection’s wide range of hues. Model and socialite Nicole Andersson kicked off the event looking stunning in Collection makeup, and introduced Mario Salvatori, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Donna Dewhurst, the Regional Brand Manager of Collection.

Inspired by the makeup which she incorporated in her own signature ethereal fashion and elegant pastel chic, brand ambassador Camille Co led a display of the makeup brand’s versatility. She was followed by Techno Aztec inspired Laureen Uy, who came with a distinctly hiphop vibe. The style bloggers were absolutely brilliant as their individual personalities shone through, enhanced by their favorite colours from their must have makeup brand – Collection. The party roared as actress Solenn Heusaff swaggered onstage in sultry rocker style. Manila’s it-girl wowed the crowd in her haute makeup.

A hip and edgy makeup brand, Collection celebrates individuality and encourages everyone to flaunt their personality in a variety of makeup colours. The party’s fabulous guests embodied the fun, colourful and edgy Collection makeup that the sassy UK brand represents.

Girls were definitely giddy with excitement about the bespoke trends and the most colourful makeup brand that has finally come to Manila in surprisingly affordable prices. With Collection finally here, Filipinas can own it, work it and love it.
