For the longest time, wanting to be bolder and more adventurous about your makeup meant having to buy pricey brands because drugstore ones didn’t carry unusual, over-the-top colors. That has changed in recent years. Now you can get rainbow eyeshadow palettes and blue lipsticks at affordable prices. But one thing was still missing from the shelves: colored eyeliners.

Ready Set Glow is a new Filipino makeup brand that has set out to change the status quo. Launched in February, the beauty line made a move as bold as its star products. It went straight to introducing brightly-colored eyeliner offerings in liquid and gel pencil forms, meant to give you a chance to come up with scene-stealing beauty looks!What was particularly shocking is the affordable price points: P599 for a gel pencil, and just P249 each for the liquid eyeliners! These are perfect for those who have been wanting to get  uber creative with their makeup, particularly now that face masks make eyes the focal point of the face.

Following the mantra of “being fun, fearless, and unique”, the brand’s Badass Gel Eyeliners (P599 each) are available in eight bright colors: Unicorn (lilac), Winter Snow (white), Frilly Tutu (pink), Blue Lightning (blue), Jet Setter (teal), Walkin’ On Sunshine (yellow), Wild Tiger (orange), and Green Gem (lime green). These liners boast of a smooth, pigmented formula that won’t tug on lids during application, can be easily smudged before setting, then remains budge-proof once completely dry. It’s sweat-resistant and water-resistant, so you can even wear these when you go for a swim. And if you feel like the tip is losing its fine point, the pencil has a sharpener at the other end.For cat eye looks that require precision, the brand offers Badass Liquid Eyeliners (P249 each) in six shades: Savage! (classic black), Yas! (brown), Extra! (purple), Lit! (yellow), OMG! (blue), and Slay! (green). Like the gel versions, these liners never budge, never smudge, never smear, and never need touch-ups. It features a slightly bendy brush-type pen that makes it easy to flick at the eye corners and create the perfect wing.

To complete your outlandish eye looks, try the Badass Eye Shimmers (P249 each) which are liquid metallic eyeshadows that create high-intensity shine on your lids. These can be lightly blended for a subtle glow, or layered for a full-on disco fest. Check it out in four available shades: Angel (holographic), Superstar (silver), Goddess (gold), and Diva (bronze).

The brand also offers a selection of both matte and cream-finish lipsticks. The Silky Matte Lipsticks (P299 each) are available in the shades Barely There, Dark Temptation, Engagement Party, and All Nighter, while the Satin Creme Lipsticks (P299 each) come in Love Potion, Hint of Fantasy, Evening Wine, Chocolate Bar, and Runway Ready.Ready Set Glow uses formulas that are paraben-free and cruelty-free, making it even easier for us to support the brand. An option to explore bolder and more creative beauty looks at affordable prices is a real good treat for us beauty junkies. For now, the brand is only available online through its official website readysetglow.ph and on Shopee and Lazada. Still, Ready Set Glow‘s launch signals an exciting time of growth for Filipino makeup brands to truly shine in the global beauty scene.
