Vogue Threads Manila 2025 reminded audiences of the elegance of ease through the bonne mine makeup philosophy, Laura Mercier’s tribute to natural radiance.
The recent Vogue Threads Manila 2025, held last September, highlighted beauty as one of many creative expressions shaping culture today. The week-long exhibit at the RCBC Plaza, became a venue for reflection on identity, artistry, and community.
“Our platforms are a space where identity is not imposed, but offered,” said Bea Valdes, editor-in-chief of Vogue Philippines, in her opening remarks.
Spanning two floors with over 50 photographs and 10 video installations, the exhibit drew creatives and professionals from across the beauty industry, including Jing Monis and BJ Pascual. With event passports in hand, premium ticket holders explored a series of curated vignettes and activations. Their experience concluded with a Vogue tote featuring exclusive gifts such as Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer Light Revealer.
At the heart of Laura Mercier’s philosophy is the idea of the bonne mine, or radiant face, which celebrates individuality. This approach to beauty blends French refinement with American ease, encouraging one to enhance rather than conceal. Since its debut in 2022, the Tinted Moisturizer Light Revealer has become a signature of this philosophy. Translating to “healthy glow” in French, bonne mine embraces inner vitality as the essence of beauty, offering a natural and luminous finish with minimal effort.
The tinted moisturizer provides lightweight, sheer coverage infused with French Algae, Luminescent Pearls, and a Vitamin C and E complex. The formulation brightens the complexion and softens texture, creating a natural glow suited for both beauty enthusiasts and beginners.
Through this, Laura Mercier reflects a quiet vision of beauty that values ease, confidence, and a natural sense of radiance.
