That Hollywood look

In the ’80s and early ’90s, makeup artist Edwin Aguilar was among Manila’s top stylists. Today, Edwin is making a brilliant comeback and is raring to show the world that he is still very much on top of his game.

Uptown/Downtown put Edwin to the task of turning commercial model Ria Fernandez into a screen siren and within the hour, Ria had enough megawatt appeal to demand Mr. De Mille for her close-up!

The first step Edwin made was to apply concealer on the trouble spots of the face. Overall foundation was applied and blended using VMV’s Moisture Rich Concealer in Beige and Dual Purpose Protective Camouflage SPF 15.

Step 2. Eyelids were filled with a light shade. White Sand powder from VMV Superyes Vintage Wine Collection was used.

Step 3. Face was completely and lightly dusted with loose powder. Cloud 9 VMV Superface powder was used.

Step 4. A half moon arc was formed and blended using a soft burgundy shade. We used a burgundy powder from VMV Superyes Vintage Wine Collection.

Step 5. Upper rim of eyelids was lined and smudged with black eye shadow. Maybelline’s Dial-A-Lash Mascara was used to ‘thicken’ eyelashes.

Step 6. Lower eye rim was thickly lined and smudged with soft kohl.

Step 7. Brows were defined using soft brown pencil from Maybelline. Edwin used colorless Maybelline mascara to further enhance the angles of the brows.

Step 8. Cheeks were defined and blended with a deep, dramatic reddish-brown color (Jaguar from VMV Chromatics Matte rich Blushes).

Step 9. Lips were filled with a deep tint using a Crimson shade lipstick from VMV Matte Rich Lipstick collection.
