While personally TikTok isn’t really my ideal source of beauty trends, jumping the bandwagon every once in a while could be a little adventure for a ‘tita millennial’ like me. The ‘office siren makeup’ stood out for me among the reels because, well, it looks kinda fun to pull off the look. Plus, it is a good excuse to test all the beauty PR kits I’ve been receiving the past weeks!
So among all the Filipino-made cosmetics I’ve gotten my hands on as of late, here are some of the top products I think can help you achieve the trendy ‘office siren beauty’ effortlessly.
1.First things first: get that glowy skin.
If your makeup game is always on-point, you know by now that behind a flawless, stand-out makeup look is a great skincare trick.
The best bet for a literal glow up beneath our ‘office siren look’ are the new primer offerings from Filipino-founded makeup brand Spotlight. For a flawless skin prep, the Spotlight No Pores Blurring Primer is made to blur out fine lines, and soothe skin while it’s at it.
Meanwhile, the Spotlight Prism Glow illuminating Primer is your ultimate starter inside push for that brightening, glowy effect, which is the main rizz of the ‘office siren look’ trend.
Maintain that winning face card even after hours of literal office grind with your secret source of freshness: skincare benefits from the Spotlight Primer Duo.
With this new primer duo, you now have a photo-ready skin finish.
2.Hide imperfections with skincare-infused makeup.
Now that you’re done prepping your skin, you’re ready to cover spots and age lines for a TikTok-ready makeup. Use your go-to foundation or powder to start working on your office-siren look.
I am not really a fan of liquid foundation. But if I absolutely have to, I’ll go for the fairly-new Spotlight Serum Cushion Foundation.
It comes in three shades: Dewy Ivory, Dewy Beige and Dewy Almond. I am more on the morena side, so my shade is Dewy Almond.
One thing you’ll love about the Spotlight Serum Cushion Foundation is you can feel it is pro-skin health– and not just about the usual coverage.
It is after all infused with hyaluronic acid for hydration, sunflower oil for protection from irritation, and of course, SPF50+ for sun protection.
3. It’s all about the eyes.
The ‘Office Siren Makeup Look’ is all about playing with eyeshadows in palettes gray, silver and white.
The all-new Ready Set Glow Certified Badass Eyeshadow Palette in Rebel Edge is all you need to achieve the siren eye makeup look.
at the RSG site here.
It is Ready Set Glow‘s first time to offer an eyeshadow palette away from its usual eyeshadow sticks, with its Certified Badass Eyeshadow series. And it comes in six (6) different variations, which you may view here.
Okay, going back to our “Office Siren Makeup Look.” Of course, you may start working on your usual routine for your brows.
Then here’s how you get the ‘Office Siren’ eye makeup look:
Start with the Smoldering Steel shade from the Ready Set Glow Certified Badass Eyeshadow Palette in Rebel Edge as your base.
Then swipe a little Grunge Glam from the Ready Set Glow Certified Badass Eyeshadow Palette in Rebel Edge onto the outer corner of your eyelids for a little oomph.
And then put Shimmering Shadows from the Ready Set Glow Certified Badass Eyeshadow Palette in Rebel Edge onto the inner corner of your eyelids.
Finish off the eye makeup with your go-to lashes and mascara.
Put your hair in a bun for a more office-preppy style we’re going for.

4. Opt for light lips and cheeks.
To put focus on the eyes, choose lighter nude-rosy shades for your cheeks and lips.
For this look, I used the Ready Set Glow Ooh La La Lip Souffle in the shade of Chocolate from its new colors series, and also mixed it with Ready Set Glow Ooh La La Lip Souffle in Brown Berry color for a softer, more feminine luscious lips.
Ready Set Glow first introduced its Ooh La La Lip Souffle collection during holiday 2023 season, and our contributing editors Katarina Rodriguez and Bella Ysmael first tried them for the “Beauty First Impressions” segment for our one-hour TV special in our television show format Stylish TV, which you may stream on iWantTFC here.
After a long day at work, if you want to transition your office siren makeup into a more party-appropriate vibe, add/smudge the Shimmering Shadows from the Ready Set Glow Certified Badass Eyeshadow Palette in Rebel Edge onto the center part of your eyelids for a glitter-filled eye makeup.
Put your hair down, style or curl.
And you now have a funner, bolder glam for a good time around the metro!
Both Spotlight and Ready Set Glow are available in brick and mortar at the Watsons stores near you.
