Glow Up Your Concert-Ready Summer Must-Haves With Pretty Smart And Korres At Beauty Bar

Beauty Bar makes way for a new addition to its curated selection of global beauty brands — launching the American makeup line Pretty Smart and joining the tried-and-true Greek beauty and skincare brand, Korres.

For the music festival dwellers and concertgoers looking to amp up their summer sidequests, Beauty Bar has the perfect formula to level up your look for the season.

Pretty Smart redefines luxury, boasting a powerful all-women team with the solution for creating high-quality, trend-forward makeup that is both accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

With the debut of a range of products and shade variations for eyes, lips, cheeks, and complexion, the vegan and cruelty-free collection brings luxury and individuality without compromise.

For all-day events such as music festivals, where your face and skin are exposed outdoors, Pretty Smart products are perfectly crafted to care for your skin and provide everyday wearability. Makeup can be expressive and can even represent one’s fandom and admiration for a favorite artist or band.

Without a doubt, the sky’s the limit for experimentation and creative freedom, allowing you to mix and match to create what could be your next signature look. If you’re looking to kick-start your beauty journey with Pretty Smart, we’ve got the must-have essentials you can add to your concert-ready look.

The I’m Dreaming Liquid Blush is a lightweight yet boldly pigmented blush that features coconut alkanes, which leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. For a tinted or clear brow look, the You’ve Got Brow Gel is an essential. Made with Vitamin B5, it allows for easy shaping and comfortable all-day wear, perfect for elevating your brow game and completing your outfit with confidence.

For a richly pigmented, long-lasting matte lip look, the A+ Matte Liquid Lipstick delivers a smooth finish that lasts for hours. You can spend all day jamming along to your favorite artist without cracking, smudging, or feeling tight. Meanwhile, if you’re looking to achieve a natural, sun-kissed glow, the Talc-Free Bronzer Powder delivers a rich, blendable finish — packed with carnauba wax for easy, smooth application.

Another must-have is the Faux My God! Lip Plumper, which is a high-shine lip enhancer that delivers voluptuous lips when applied, and all without the hassle. To complete the star-studded lineup and slay your overall look, the All-in-One Face Palette offers versatile complexion coverage, bringing together the trio of blush, bronzer, highlighter, and finishing powder.

If Pretty Smart delivers the glitz and glamour that elevates your look, Korres, on the other hand, helps you prep for sunny days like never before. Korres puts the Yoghurt Suncare Collection into the spotlight, featuring hydrating and cooling yoghurt properties in its formula — perfect for music festival goers to enjoy the sun safely and adventurously.

With over 20 years of incorporating yoghurt into their products with all of its wonders, starting with the iconic Yoghurt Cooling Gel, the brand draws inspiration from the Greek tradition of grandmothers applying yoghurt to soothe sunburns and dehydrated skin. Thanks to vitamins E and D, minerals, and natural proteins, it provides instant moisturizing, soothing, and cooling benefits, while nourishing the skin to keep you rejuvenated and refreshed throughout the day.

Products from this collection are developed with skin- and sea-conscious formulas, and featuring water- and sweat-resistant products that provide optimal hydration, nourishment, and protection against UVA/UVB rays and photoaging. Ideal for sensitive skin, the collection also features fresh scents and lightweight textures that remain invisible on the skin.

Korres essentials include the Yoghurt Sunscreen Face Cream-Gel, a lightweight cream-gel formula that provides long-lasting hydration and pollution protection. Meanwhile, the Yoghurt Sunscreen Face + Eyes Cream-Gel SPF 50 is specially designed for the delicate eye area to keep the skin around the eyes healthy and radiant. The Yoghurt Tinted Sunscreen Face Cream, on the other hand, delivers all-around UV protection and evens out skin tone for a flawless complexion.

The Yoghurt Sunscreen Spray Emulsion Body + Face is a fast-absorbing spray that keeps the skin nourished and protected during long days at a music festival weekend, designed to leave the skin softer and extra hydrated. When the sun sets, and you wrap up your concert or music festival, the perfect soothing remedy for your sun-kissed skin is the Yoghurt Cooling After-Sun Gel, which nourishes and moisturizes the skin.

With environmental care as a priority, it’s worth noting that all Korres sunscreens are formulated without OMC (Octyl Methoxycinnamate), Octocrylene, and non-biodegradable silicone film-formers that can harm the seas. In partnership with the Archipelagos Institute of Marine Conservation, the brand highlights the need to protect biodiversity and improve the health of the Aegean Sea.

Pretty Smart and Korres products are available at Beauty Bar physical stores located in Central Square BGC, Alabang Town Center, Rockwell Power Plant Mall, Glorietta 4, The Podium, Eastwood Mall, TriNoma, Robinsons Magnolia, UP Town Center, Robinsons Galleria, Ayala Center Cebu, and Mactan-Cebu International Airport.

Distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., KORRES products can also be purchased in select Beauty Bar stores, Lazada, Rustan’s Makati, and Rustan’s Shangri-La Mall.
