RB Chanco glams up Kris Aquino for the first time in three years
Queen of All Media Kris Aquino finally had her much-awaited glam session with her go-to makeup artist RB Chanco.
On Facebook, RB shared their heartwarming reunion, during which she got to do Kris's makeup for her surprise appearance at PeopleAsia's People of the Year 2025 on Tuesday, February 25.
"After three years, I finally got to do her makeup again--something I had hoped for but feared might never happen. But last night, it did, and I couldn't have been happier," she wrote.
The trusted makeup artist shared, "Kris is still very sick--frail, fragile, and fighting every day--which made every makeup product and brushstroke feel like a risk."
Fortunately, RB shared that Kris had only a minimal reaction to the makeup despite her severe allergies and frequent flares caused by her ongoing health condition.
"Her appearance was brief but deeply meaningful--a sign that she's still here, still fighting, still moving forward. Despite everything, she made her first public appearance since becoming very ill," she added.
She shared how much she missed Kris and expressed her hope to glam her up again in the future.
"Finally, #RBeautified again, and hopefully, just the first of many more times to come," she ended her post.
