The Chinita
Her chinky eyes and
porcelain skin shows
how much our ties
with the Chinese have
evolved. From foreigners,
to one of us.
The Filipina-Chinese
beauty is a testament
to the varied Pinay
beauty that catches
the eye of every one
in the room.
Despite the popularity of airbrush makeup, Ms. Cherrie Gil sticks
with the traditional way of putting on makeup. For the foundation,
one look at the model’s skin and she was able to blend the right
shade with liquid foundation. For the eyes, she asks clients whether
they want their eyes to look bigger or just to enhance it a bit. A
no-no eye color include pinks and reds, she explains that “..it may
look like you’ve just cried.” She also did not want to use ‘whole’
falsies (false eyelashes) that can be too much for the chinita’s eyes.
Instead, she uses falsies that are applied one at a time to make it
look more natural. For the eye brows, she was firm in using powder
or cream in place of brow pencils. She says, [brown] powder adheres to the natural hair brows, instead
of the skin, again, to achieve a more natural look. (Make-up and Hairstyle by: Cherrie Gil Dayawon

☺ Whenever we hear HD in makeup, it is normal to automatically think, air brush. But, Ms. Cherrie
says otherwise, “I just finished workshop for High Definition makeup, but with the traditional method.”.
