Allure Philippines<\/em> has officially launched\u2014and they couldn’t have chosen a more perfect cover star than Bretman Rock. The influencer appears in the inaugural issue embracing all things bright, bold, and colorful, including an XXL braid, a bubble ponytail, graphic eyeliner, sunset eye shadow, and so much more.<\/p>\n

The cover image is a gorgeous shot of Rock and actor Heart Evangelista, both wearing their hair in tight braids that are actually connected to one another. Hairstylists JA Feliciano and Mark Ghil Sayo worked together to bring the double braids to life, with Feliciano saying he was \u201cso nervous\u201d when he got the beauty brief. \u201cBut I was able to pull it off by using a long hair extension that I braided, and with the help of Ghil, we were able to conjoin the braid for that layout.\u201d Both stars’ hair was slicked down and back for a sleek base with the conjoined braid cascading down from the nape of their necks, showing how beauty connects us, no matter where we are in the world or in life.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the editorial, we see Rock wearing a double-liner look with an exaggerated wing extending far past the inner and outer corners of his eyes, plus another slash of color just underneath the brow. Makeup artist Booya used a kaleidoscope of vivid color for the sunset-inspired shadow look, including GRWM Cosmetics Face Card Shadowplay Colorplay Velvet Matte Eyeshadows in hot pink, yellow, and orange tones. (GRWM Cosmetics is based in the Philippines.) In another shot, Rock wears his hair in bubble pigtail ponytails paired with a bright aqua eye shadow and pink lip combo. Hello, summer glam inspo!<\/p>\n

In the interview, Rock opens up about his childhood in the Philippines\u2014he was born there in 1998 and moved to Hawaii at age seven\u2014and his first beauty icon, his grandmother. \u201cMy grandma means so much to me,\u201d he shares. \u201cI became her shadow from the ages of two to seven. I would always watch her put on makeup before church.\u201d Her \u201cblush and three Revlon lipsticks” are a vivid memory for Rock, who thinks of her every time he gets glammed up.<\/p>\n

After over a decade in the beauty, fashion, and social media world, Rock continues to make his mark. \u201cNow I\u2019m not just a last-minute addition so the campaign looks diverse,” he says. “I\u2019m the first one they think of. A lot of us Filipinos are taught to make ourselves smaller for others. But you got to shove your way to the front, and say \u2018Look at me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
