Ten Filipino hairdressers and makeup artists reaped awards in an international hair and makeup competition last November 8 to 10, the Philippine Consulate General in Macau said.
According to a news release issued on Tuesday, Stefanie Ilagan led the Philippine delegation with a first runner-up finish in the Bridal Makeup category of this year's Asia-Pacific Hair and Makeup Cosmetologists Association (APHCA) Hair and Makeup Competition held at the Venetian-Macau Hotel and Resort.
More than 40 major hairstyling and makeup experts from the Asia-Pacific region competed for 60 awards in the competition, which is also known as the “Asia-Pacific Hair and Makeup Olympics."
Aside from Ilagan, nine other Filipinos received honorable mentions in several categories, including Evening Hairstyle, Evening Makeup, Party Makeup, and Ladies’ Cut and Creative Color:
The competition started in 1996 during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Manila, through the efforts of Filipino hairdresser and businessman Ricky Reyes, who founded the APHCA.
The association now has 18 member-countries, including six from Europe. — GMA News
