Looky! I’m on the cover of Makeup Magazine’s July-August 2014 issue! This is actually just its second issue and the first that showcases this new look/redesign so I’m more than honored to be chosen as its new cover girl. I don’t know if you’ve seen it already but its a free magazine, available at your favorite salons and coffee shops. (Click here to find out where.)
Since this is Makeup Magazine, guest editor-in-chief Isabel Roces wanted my cover look to be a total makeup transformation. None of my usual sweet girl-next-door makeup but more sultry and mature makeup that’s perfect for fall. I must admit, I was a bit scared at first–especially when I saw the lipstick shade makeup artist Lizzie was going to use on me. You all must know by now how I avoid dark lip colors like a plague. Not that I think they’re ugly (I’m always secretly jealous of girls who can pull them off) but I just never thought they suit my features. But hey, I’m a trooper. Shooting editorials with concepts that are different from my usual make me excited. I welcome them wholeheartedly because it’s not everyday you get to play pretend and dress-up. So, I just closed my eyes and hoped for the best. Surprisingly, I liked how the lippie looked on me. I don’t know if it’s just Lizzie’s magical makeup hands but it worked! I just might start experimenting with darker lipstick shades soon.
This particular issue of Makeup Magazine focuses on the rainy season so to go with my sultry makeup, stylist Chanda dressed me in the cutest coats and umbrellas. Inside this issue, you’ll find tons of interesting stories and editorials to help beauty addicts battle the rainy season. Aside from my cover story which I won’t spoil, you must watch out for celebrity makeup artist Robbie Pinera and actress Cheska Garcia-Kramer’s beauty tips and must-haves. I won’t spoil those either because you must grab a copy to read the articles for yourself!
I will, however, share with you the final photos of me that made the cut and a few behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot, including one of me munching on snacks like the little miss piggy that I am while everyone else was fussing about around me; and one where stylist Chanda is lifting my dress’ skirt up for the sake of getting the shot while my assistant Clariss panics about my underwear getting exposed. Ohhhh the glamorous life of fashion, right? Either way, it was a quick and fun shoot, thanks to Makeup Magazine’s easy-going team. Thank you once again for choosing me to be your cover girl! I’m beyond flattered and I hope I didn’t disappoint. Fingers-crossed!
P.S. I’m still sporting my light blonde hair here because these photos were taken from a while. Do not fret, I still have my dark hair now.
Stylist: Chanda Espiritu and Valerie Hernandez | Guest Editor-In-Chief: Isabel Roces | Makeup Artist: Lizzie Oren | Hair Stylist: Celine Ner | Photographer: Advan Ramirez | Videographer: Mark Madriaga

I miss your blog ate Cams, I’ve been so busy these past weeks making our project, having quizzes and exams that I just want to surrender but seeing and reading your blog makes me relax. :) (it is my stress reliever). you look awesome! you look like a cover of Vogue Italia :) your make up and dark lippie gave you a fiercer and bolder aura. pangsupermodel :)
Awww thanks Maebs! Don’t worry, before you know it, it’s Christmas break! :)
I got a digital copy through Buqo! Congrats, Miss Camille! You look stunning as always. :)
Yayyyy! :)
Cool! I thought before that light colors only suits you but WOW! This one is really amazing! You look totally different from your usual photos, I love your fierce aura!
Thanks Maica! I thought so too!
WOOOOOOOOOOW! Super ganda mu talaga, Ms. Camille! <3
Love,
Ericka Garcia
Thanks Ericka! :)
Congratulations Ate Camille and you look so stunning. :)
Thanks Rinx! :)
Am I not normal? I only noticed the cameraman a.k.a Advan (baliktad ata noh?) when almost all the comments mentions abt him. Napa-scroll up tuloy ako ng wala sa oras. hahahahaha.
Miss, Congratulations for this. I always feel happy whenever you get to be featured in anything. Tho medyo late lang ang kamalayan ko sa mga happenings mo ngayon kasi naman . . . kpop eh! Pero ikaw ang mananatiling pinakaunang public figure na talagang naging fan ako. (Major backtracking ang ginagawa ko ngayon sa blog mo so I’m gonna be spamming comments. sorry. (: )
You always fail on your diet? With a body like that?? Parang di naman kapani-paniwala!!!
Hahaha! Che, yung photographer napapansin niyo lahat! Haha :) Just kidding :) Thanks Gladys!
I have read the magazine while I was in Starbucks Paseo de Magallanes, and since it’s free, I wondered if I could ever have my own copy. hahaha Congrats Camille :)
Thanks Monique! :)
Oh wow you look so incredible in all those photos and I love the makeup looks too <3

THanks Izzy! :)
Stunning!! It’s been a pleasure to see your growth and transformation.
Thank you Jeff! :) I feel like I’ve grown with my readers and all of you witnessed how I’ve evolved:)
It so look different Camille, but sobrang bagay sayo ang dark lippie.
Thanks Jayzel!
Congrats Camille! You look soooooooooooooooooooooooo gorgeous!!! Parang kamukha mo ang isang former contestant ng Asia’s Next Top Model! I’m on a diet pero when I saw KFC sa pic, I’m suddenly craving for fresh-off-the-fryer hot shots. grrr… :(
Have you tried the Anna Sui lip topcoat? Your lipstick will stay in place more daw when you use it. No.1 sya daw sa blind test ng mga experts at online voters. (Saw the blind test segment on a Korean beauty show)
Last na lang… @%#^$*@^1 Ang cute ng guy sa pinaka right!!! He looks so mabango! hahaha
Haha! And then I just ate Twister fries a while ago! I always fail diets! I’ll try that lippie nga. I’ll search for it! :)
Hahahaha! You didn’t answer my question!!! :(( If you find Advan cute? This is too funny, feeling ko kung magkakasama tau puro tawanan na naman tau because of boys :)) Speaking of, what’s the first thing you look into a guy? my another round of Boy Abunda interview ika nga ni Anne from our dinner date last April :P
Haha! You mean physically? I really look at the way a guy dresses. And then grooming :) Kailangan malinis! :) Advan is really nice! And married, sorry girls!
First word that pops my mind: FIERCE! Hehe. Naks! Supermodel moments :)
Thanks Lourine! :)
This look is sooo good on you! Love how your makeup complimented you. Different but good different! Hihi But your smile in that BTS removed the bad girl makeup look on you. Your smile is the most charming as always hehe
Awww thanks Katrin! :)

Thanks Chin! :)

You look different! Very Edgy and chic! I salute the hair and make up artist. They pulled off a different look on you Ms. Camille. Different from your usual pastel sweet girl looks. You look superb!
Thank you Nelayish!

The hair is in most often , the first thing I seek in a woman , i love hairstyles and in these photos you shine like a star. I loved your eyes in last picture with allblack look .
Thank you Altair! :)

Thank you!
You look so sultry Cams! This was a makeup transformation indeed. Dark lippies suit you so well! I have to get a copy of this mag for myself! They’re available in JCo and Starbucks says their Facebook page. Doughnuts and frappes it is. Haha. :)

Good place to get the magazine right? :) Thanks Anne!
Love the makeup looks! The pop of red on the lips is flattering for everyone, I love experimenting with it!
xx
Thank you Kate!
you are wonderful
Thanks Anne-marie!
You look absolutely stunning, Camille! The makeup, the clothes, everything is just perfect. I actually have never heard of this magazine before but I’ll be sure to go to J.Co at Alabang Town Center to get my hands on a copy (lol. ginawa pa ‘tong excuse eh noh para makakain ng doughnut? haha). You know you’re my style icon and favorite fashion blogger, so I need the mag for my collection.

It’s still new! :) Thank you Kyle! Perfect excuse to eat a doughnut!! Haha!
You definitely pulled off that dark lippie Ate Cams! Love the photos! <3 ( How do you stay fit while eating KFC huhuhuhu haha!)
My stomach is a bottomless pit I tell you :)
Si photographer pala yung tinutukoy ko. HAHAHAHA! Tyaka na yang si Videographer pag may budget. HAHAHA! Kasi naman akala ko from L-R ang sequence Camille! Nilinlang mo ang damdamin ko. charos. Basta yung nasa rightmost.
Hahahahahaha! :) You are so funny!!
Oooooooooooooooh my gosh. Ang gwapo ni Videographer. Ang mouthwatering lang nya. Ma-hire nga minsan yan! hahaha! #ParaParaan
I think you’re referring to the photographer Advan bilang siya rin yung napansin ni Kay. LOL!
Oh my gosh! Advan is a cutie!!! Waaahh! Did you also find him cute? Hahaha! Don’t worry Camille, you look beautiful in your mature make up :) The make up artist is really good though…I hope you could blog more of you BTS shoots because it’s fun to watch the real actions in your work :) by the way, I’m curios, which one do you prefer, hot shots or fun shots? Hahaha!
LOL! Si Advan talaga napansin mo? Haha! Anyway, I wish I can blog more BTS of my shoots but it’s always so busy behind-the-scenes. But I will try! I love fun shots! :)
Wow. I say embrace such sultry looks because you look amazing! ^^
Thank you Dilek! :)
Omg assistant clariss!! :)) hehe. You look so cute and fierce (idk why you can pull off both looks at once hihi) while eating the kfc shots i think? You really look different here. You look so strong and fierce.
When I saw that magazine on your instagram post ate cams I immediately looked and asked where to get it but unfortunately I’ve been to 2 starbucks shop + 2 J. CO shops, bought food from each shop and asked for the mag but they said wala na :( but i wont stop looking for it tho haha
Awwww meron pa sa Park Jun Salon, last time I went there :) Thank you Clariss! :)
Congrats Camille! :)
Thanks Tayme!
