Allure Philippines has launched its inaugural issue with influencer Bretman Rock as the perfect cover star. The issue celebrates bright, bold, and colorful styles, highlighted by Rock’s striking XXL braid, bubble ponytail, graphic eyeliner, and sunset-inspired eyeshadow.
The cover features a stunning photo of Bretman Rock alongside actor Heart Evangelista. Both wear tight braids that are connected, symbolizing how beauty unites people across the world. Hairstylists JA Feliciano and Mark Ghil Sayo teamed up to create the linked braids. Feliciano shared he was nervous at first but succeeded by using a long hair extension and careful collaboration with Ghil.
Inside the editorial, Rock sports a dramatic double-liner look with extended wings, combined with vivid sunset hues of hot pink, yellow, and orange eyeshadows by Philippine-based GRWM Cosmetics. Another look showcases bubble pigtail ponytails with bright aqua eyeshadow and pink lips—perfect summer glam inspiration.
In the interview, Rock talks about his childhood in the Philippines before moving to Hawaii at age seven. He recalls his grandmother as his first beauty icon, watching her apply blush and Revlon lipsticks before church. After more than ten years in beauty, fashion, and social media, Rock says he is no longer just a diversity add-on in campaigns but the first choice—stepping confidently into the spotlight.
