Makeup as Cultural Heritage

Hana Acabado turned her makeup brush into a cultural bridge, founding Filipinta Beauty to celebrate Filipino heritage through every product—from ube-inspired eyeshadow to rice cooker-themed lip scrubs. Born from homesickness and a desire to reconnect with her roots, her brand taps into a deep, unspoken longing among Filipino-Americans, offering shades that honor their skin tones and designs that feel like a love letter to home. What started as a real-world portfolio project blew up online, selling out instantly—proof that authenticity and representation resonate powerfully. More than cosmetics, Filipinta Beauty is a movement: reclaiming culture, sparking pride, and proving that beauty can be both personal and profoundly political.
