Filipino Beauty Brand Sunnies Face Just Launched Its First U.S. Collab — & It Was Worth The Wait

The Rose Inc. x Sunnies Face collab features two kits with three products for a foolproof face.

When Filipino beauty brand Sunnies Face first launched in 2018, it dropped just one product: a matte lipstick available in nine wearable shades. All nine hues of the lipstick, adorably dubbed Fluffmate, sold out in a mere 15 minutes upon initial introduction and continued to fly off shelves during subsequent restocks. The kicker for beauty lovers stateside? No way to get your hands on the hugely popular product. Thankfully, the brand has since expanded (in both product offering and overseas availability) and now, it's branching out with its first-ever international partnership with the Rose Inc. x Sunnies Face collab.

Fans of the beauty brand's pared-down aesthetic will be pleased to know that the limited-edition launch — conceptualized by British model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and available exclusively on her beauty platform, Rose Inc. — stays true to the Sunnies Face vision, while also incorporating the busy multi-hyphenate's desire for a streamlined beauty routine.

The result of the collab? Two versatile three-piece kits, up for grabs at $65 each. Both sets include a duo of Fluffmate lipsticks and the brand's multipurpose Airblush, and come in a sleek patent pouch that's ready to take on the go.

True to the Rose Inc. founder's model roots, the kits are called On Duty and Off Duty and are poised to help you create effortlessly polished looks for days at work, weekends with friends, and every moment in between.

The Rose Inc. x Sunnies Face On-Duty Kit offers Fluffmate lipstick in warm red "Hot Sauce" and terracotta pink "Girl Crush" plus sheer matte Airblush in petal pink "Doll" — Huntington-Whiteley recommends using the pink Fluffmate shade to add a wash of color on lids, Airblush to add a pop of healthy pink on cheeks, and the red-hot hue on your pout for an instantly pulled-together effect.

Turn to the Off-Duty Kit, on the other hand, for much more casual occasions that call for an effortless vibe. Warm nudes mingle with natural peachy hues in this three piece set, which includes Fluffmate in almond nude "Nudist" and warm papaya "Vacay" alongside Airblush in "Peached". Follow the Rose Inc. founder's lead and dab a layer of the nude Fluffmate onto eyes, swipe "Vacay" onto lips, and blend a seamless wash of the peachy blush on cheeks and the bridge of your nose for undeniable warmth across your whole face.
