Maquillage's 'C'est Moi': A photo exhibit of beauty and individuality

C’est moi is French for this is me. Which is what the first-ever photo exhibit of Maquillage Professionnel held recently at Bonifacio High Street was about. Presented by Make Up For Ever in collaboration with Two Serendra, the exhibit showcases Maquillage Professionnel alumni batches 1 and 2’s own personal style and interpretation of beauty. Each photo exemplified the individuality of talented Maquillage Professionnel graduates Tina Velasco, Leica Carpo, Fitta Aseron, Carmela Teope, Margo Sevilla, Nikki Luu, Rizette Cajucom, Ruth Tubon-Spence, Catherine Chia, Ria Aquino, Raquel Padilla, Lilian Yeung, Kirsten Brito, Dinah Corbilla, Dani Sevilla, Pinky Alcantara, Kay Rodriguez, Jonathan Velasco, Czarina Nolasco, and Terre Hernandez.

The artists drew inspiration and creativity from the various makeup styles and application techniques which they learned during the class modules they attended. The exhibit is part of the holistic training program which Maquillage Professionnel offers. It is the culminating project and the highlight of the Maquillage Professionnel experience.

Welcoming guests were Make Up For Ever managing director Diana Afable-Lorenzo, director for press relations and publicity Celine Gabriel, and Maquillage Professionnel director for academic affairs Mei Afable-Avanceña.

Cetaphil’s new look

Cetaphil’s got a new look but has the same trusted formulation. Your skin says a lot about you — your age, lifestyle, habits, and how well you take good care of yourself. Aside from following a regular skin care regimen, it’s also important to use products that are safe and gentle like Cetaphil. 

The recommended skin cleanser by dermatologists and pediatricians for over 30 years, the new Cetaphil is easy on the eyes — the vibrant blue and green packaging is aligned with the visual branding in Canada and the US.

While Cetaphil flaunts a more youthful and refreshing look, it still has the same mild, soap-free, non-drying and non-irritating formulation that everybody loves.

Cetaphil is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and is even safe on baby’s sensitive skin. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is the benchmark for sensitive skin cleansing in the United States and Europe for over three decades now.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansers are available in 250ml and 60ml bottles and the gentle and antibacterial cleansing bars for dry and sensitive skin.
