We had the greatest opportunity to create this special video for Madge Lejano and Xeng Zulueta’s The Makeup Studio.

More than anything it was the concept and philosophy we were focusing on with this piece. So it took an inordinate amount of texts between me and the the two of them to precisely hone the message we wanted to put across.

They screened this at the their new studio’s unveiling last Monday.

PS:  I did not want to re-format the text for web and run the risk of inelegance - (I used a fine Helvetica type) - so you may have difficulty reading the text,  for your convenience - here’s the type -

There is no one standard of beauty
There is only boundless appreciation
There is no single method
Only limitless inspiration
There are a multitude of tools
But it is in passion that we thrive on
The finest professionals
The kindest of people
A new concept of beauty
Unveiled
Reveal not how perfect your makeup is,
But how beautiful you really are
