Lately, I’ve been watching the Philippine Madrigal singers on YouTube.  Their videos came out in my feed and I clicked on a few of them and 2 videos stood out, the one in Uruguay where they sang Eres Tu and my favorite, the one at the Abbey of Saint Michel, they sang Izar Ederrak.  It makes me so proud to see Filipino excellence appreciated in so many parts of the world.  Truly we Filipinos are blessed with so much musical talent, we are world class.

I met Em Alcantara through Martine De Luna.  Em is  part of the community of bloggers called Mommy Bloggers Philippines and also happens to be a former member of the Philippine Madrigal Singers.  I love it when the universe is conspiring with you.  She needed a refresher course on stage makeup since she is now on her own, performing for various events.  It was music to my ears.  (Pardon the pun, couldn’t resist).   Em was also concerned about her skin condition, which is oily to dry and rough which she said was exacerbated during her  pregnancy.  Here is what went on.

Skin Analysis:

• Oily in the T Zone Area but dry on some parts of her face.
• Big Pores, redness in some areas like the cheek and chin and skin texture is rough.
• Pigmentation around the chin area and sides of her face

Skin Prep:

I just discovered this new Exfoliating toner called Cure Natural Aqua Gel which is made of 90% Hydrogen water and is preservative, coloring, mineral oil and artificial fragrance free.  Made in Japan and can be purchased at Beauty Bar.  I used this on her since I knew she had sensitive skin and didn’t want to add to her sensitivity.  Her skin was smooth after this.

I used a combination of Kryolan Camouflage Concealer mixed with Coverderm Camouflage makeup in 3A and 5A and Judith August Everything Pencil in Golden Beige to hide her pigmentation.
