On August 16, Max Collins marked an early birthday celebration that was anything but ordinary. Set against the stylish backdrop of Uma Nota in BGC, the night doubled as her official debut as the newest face of Ready Set Glow (RSG). Beauty insiders, media, and friends gathered to celebrate Max and the fearless, unapologetic energy she now represents as the brand’s endorser.
For Max, makeup has always been a form of self-expression. “I can use makeup to show the different sides of me,” she shared, recalling how she first started experimenting at just four years old. From her emo days in high school to her present-day life as a “badass boss mom,” Max’s beauty journey mirrors RSG’s philosophy of confidence, individuality, and self-love.
She admits she has a few essentials she can’t live without. “Kailangan on fleek lagi ang kilay. Kilay is life, girl!” she laughed, naming the RSG brow trio as a non-negotiable in her routine. Her go-to products also include eye shimmer, contour sticks, and lip favorites like Lovy lipstick and the Badass lipgloss. “The bronze look brings out my eyes,” she added, pointing out how even small touches of makeup can give her that instant boost.
But beyond the glam, it’s about mindset. “I feel like badass is someone who accepts all their imperfections. As long as you’re cute, you can get through it — basta cute ka, makakaraos ka,” Max said with a grin. She describes her personal style as a blend of icons like Grace Kelly and Hailey Bieber, but always with her own unapologetic twist.
At the event, Max summed it up best: “I feel so much love.” With her early birthday celebration turning into a statement of empowerment, she embodied what RSG stands for — bold, edgy, and real. As she begins this new journey with the brand, Max Collins is set to inspire everyone to embrace their glow, imperfections and all, the RSG way.
