These muses pose alongside their make-up artists for a unique collaboration. 
By FELIX ILAYA
 
Make-up is a form of self-expression in and of itself, it is a work of art. And just like every other medium, every artist needs a muse.
 
The fashion and lifestyle magazine Preview explores the interesting dynamic between a makeup artist and his or her muse in its October beauty issue.
 
As familiar and comfortable as old friends, there's an unspoken chemistry between Heart Evangelista and her makeup artist Albert Kurniawan. Heart trusts Albert's skill with a brush, so much so that Albert was the one who did Heart's face for her wedding.
 
"On that day, we were both quiet the entire time I was doing her makeup. When it was almost done, I asked her if she liked it and [she said] she was extremely happy," he shared.

Albert also praised Heart for her appreciation of his craft.
 
"She knows how to project whatever look I give her - she appreciates makeup as an art," he added.

Megan Young and Cristine Duque relationship is very fun and professional. They get the job done and enjoy while doing it. Cristine admits to loving Megan's personality and her versatility.
 
"I love Megan's sense of humor. She's an actor so she understands a picture's point of view or intention. She can carry the no-makeup makeup with the same ease as an all-out glam look. The camera just loves her." she said.

Aside from that, Cristine feels privileged to be the one painting the former Miss World's face.
 
"She's such a chameleon and a good model/actor so she can carry the makeup looks I create for her. And hello, she's Miss World! Who wouldn't want her as muse?" she added.
