Public servants like Senator Risa Hontiveros are used to fielding hard-hitting questions from just about anyone they encounter. On July 31, 2025, the senator took on media interviews covering a wide range of pressing national issues—from the transparency of budget deliberations to her priority legislation. These are, undoubtedly, conversations that need to be had. But the internet posed a rather unexpected question for a figure like her: What lipstick was the senator wearing?

Senator Risa’s glam look featured warm tones and neutral shades that subtly enhanced her natural features. Her makeup artist, Jim Ros, used a delicate blend of pinks and browns to keep the look understated—just the right balance of polished and presentable.

The makeup look complemented the Rajo Laurel wrap vest worn by the senator, which Shark Tanael of Qurator Studio styled with a flowy midi skirt and pointed-toe heels. The overall ensemble was proof that beauty and brains go hand in hand.
With the long-lasting gloss on her lips becoming a popular topic of online chatter, Senator Risa generously revealed the universally flattering product behind it.
