Celebrity makeup artist RB Chanco got excited after hearing that her long time friend actress and TV host Kris Aquino will be making her first public appearance, and RB was tasked to do her makeup – as always.
Kris attended the PeopleAsia’s People of the Year 2025 awards as a way to show her support to close friend, renowned Filipino fashion designer Michael Leyva.
RB was happy that she was given a chance to do Kris’ makeup but at the same time cautious that Kris might get some reactions due to her autoimmune illness.
On Instagram, RB narrated:
“After three years, I finally got to do her makeup again—something I had hoped for but feared might never happen. But last night, it did, and I couldn’t have been happier.
Kris is still very sick—frail, fragile, and fighting every day—which made every makeup product and brushstroke feel like a risk. With her severe allergies and flares, I was terrified she’d react, especially since she hasn’t worn makeup since her health declined. But by some miracle, her reaction was minimal, and that alone was a huge relief.
Her appearance was brief but deeply meaningful—a sign that she’s still here, still fighting, still moving forward.
Despite everything, she made her first public appearance since becoming very ill. The real queen, the Kris we all love and miss, is still here—stronger than we know. And maybe, just maybe, this is the start of something more.
Finally, #RBeautified… again, and hopefully, just the first of many more times to come.”
