Last February 12, Catriona Gray returned to the pageantry stage—but this time, as a host. Together with Edward Barber and her fellow beauty queens Nicole Cordoves and Joy Barcoma, the Miss Universe 2018 titleholder served as emcee at the Miss Ilocos Sur 2026 coronation.
Since she began competing in beauty pageants, Catriona has been trained to understand her facial features thoroughly and develop a makeup routine that lasts—even under blinding lights throughout the night.
The 32-year-old shared the steps she took to achieve her emerald glam for the event, and naturally, she incorporated Philippine-made products into her routine.
The Exact Local Beauty Products in Catriona Gray’s Hosting Glam
HAPPY SKIN Second Skin Multi-Tasking Serum Concealer
To brighten her complexion, Catriona used the Second Skin Multi-Tasking Serum Concealer from Happy Skin. The peach corrector tackles dark circles and dull skin beyond the surface, being infused with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, squalane, and kahai oil.
VICE COSMETICS V x Jelly 2 Dew It All Liquid Blush
The V x Jelly 2 Dew It All Liquid Blush by Vice Cosmetics adds a pop of color to Catriona’s base. By the looks of it, she uses the baby pink shade for a sweet and youthful flush.
Contour and finishing powders from the same collection are part of her routine as well. Unfortunately, they are currently “unlisted” on the brand’s e-commerce platform.
STROKES Brow Sculptor Duo
Catriona defines her brows with the waterproof Brow Sculptor Duo from Strokes. It was formulated to combine the benefits of powder, pencil, and wax to fill in the brows with ease.
STROKES Microblade Hybrid Pen
Further perfecting the details, Catriona also used the Strokes Microblade Hybrid Pen to enhance her brow shape. Apart from its precise brush tip, it also boasts waterproof pigment and a long-wearing formula—perfect for long work days.
BLK COSMETICS False Lash Mascara
The Blk Cosmetics False Lash Mascara volumizes and lengthens the lashes, as seen in Catriona’s GRWM video. With tiny fibers coating each lash, the lightweight mascara defines the lashes without producing clumps.
FABOULASH Bespoke™ by Joce Yang
To open up her eyes more, Catriona goes in with cluster lashes, specifically the Faboulash Bespoke™ by Joce Yang. The soft and wispy lashes make for an ethereal look, and being glue-free, the clusters are quick and easy to apply.
