Congresswoman Len Alonte has always been a standout when it comes to her fashion choices. But, this time around, her makeup look for SONA 2023 made us do a double take.
First posted by one of the top makeup artists, RB Chanco, the svelte congresswoman is photographed wearing a figure-hugging lace terno by Michael Leyva. With her hair brushed up and styled by Justine Ocampo, and wearing a simple pair of diamond earrings, the focus went to her face.
Manila Bulletin Lifestyle asked RB about the look. “I did a monochromatic look—eyes, cheeks, and lips are all in the same tone. All in rosy pink.”
RB admitted that Len was a bit apprehensive to try it out. “But when she saw the outcome, she super liked it. I showed her the viral videos of the trending blush application.”
“She looks Korean and has beautiful skin, so I focused on that. I didn’t use powder, just creams for the face to have the dewy, glassy skin look,” RB added, sharing the products used on her. For the skin prep, Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. Dior Face & Body Foundation Cream for her foundation, Chanel Healthy Glow as bronzer, Rare Beauty as blush and eyeshadow, La Mer Hydrating Illuminator for the glow, Mac Veluxe in Brunette for the brows, and Mac Squirt in Amped as lip gloss.
“I also used single spiky lashes so that her eyes won’t look too made up. Just awake,” RB added, since they started prepping at 5 a.m.
