SM Beauty has transformed SM City Cebu into a vibrant playground for makeup lovers with its Color Play 2025 Campaign, headlined by the So Much Color Playhouse, a multisensory beauty pop-up that’s been dazzling visitors from July 24 to 31, 2025.
Located at the North Wing Atrium, the Playhouse invites guests to explore themed zones such as the Playhouse Lab and Playhouse Art Studio, where they can swatch, shop, and play with the latest lip products and cosmetics. The setup sparks creativity and experimentation, helping beauty enthusiasts discover their perfect shades through color theory demos, live makeup tutorials, and interactive booths.

Coming all the way from Manila, beauty TikTok stars Joce and Joize joined the fun by doing a demo on stage on finding the right colors to flatter your skin tones. Content creator and makeup artist Nate Javier also flew to Cebu and showed off his artistry through a live demo sesh with Ms. Universe Philippines 2021 2nd runner-up, Steffi Aberasturi-Arcenas, educating the crowd on the basic lipstick wardrobe every girl should have.
