We have our different stories on how we have our first time to wear make-up. I have no mother nor sister that can teach me and my grand mother is not a make-up person also.
I was left in the care of my grand mother and she is quite a strict one. So, when our neighbor ask my grand mother if I could join the santacruzan as usually, her answer is a straight no but i guess i have my own way of convincing her and i have our neighbor to back-up me , so she had no other option but to say yes.
I remember my first gown and I remember how i look silly on it, i felt I was wearing a curtain and the make-up that was put in me was kind of odd and when I look at it in the mirror I definitely could not recognize my face. I bet, if I have a photograph of it, you would laugh at it.
And my face was itchy the whole evening and in the morning, small like pimples appeared on my face and forehead and I swear i would never tried wearing make-up again but as you bet it did not stop there because every year, May is the month that I am looking forward to, the passion of being a reyna elena makes me happy and it’s a day wherein I could wear make-up and look different from my usual self and your once ordinary face would look exquisite, elegant and fabulous, something every woman would want to achieve.
