Rita Daniela transforms Ken Chan into Destiny Rose
Rita Daniela practiced her makeup skills in her YouTube vlog, and the muse she picked is not a female model but her Kapuso love team, Ken Chan.
She challenged herself to transform Ken into his iconic TV role, Destiny Rose, through makeup.
"Suwerte ako kasi 'yung mga naging friends ko sa showbiz na makeup artist, nag-aral sa ibang bansa. Itinuro nila sa akin kaya parang halos nag-aral na rin ako," Rita said.
The 24-year-old actress shared that when she retires from showbiz, she would choose to be a makeup artist.
"Kapag medyo ano na 'yung buhay, gusto ko medyo relax na lang.
"I like to paint, I like to draw so, for me, every face is a canvass kasi everytime na nagme-makeup din ako sa sarili ko, 'di ako nabo-bore kasi ang saya, kumukulay."
While doing the makeup, Ken recounted the struggles he needed to overcome when he was still portraying Destiny Rose.
He recalled, "Ang 'di ko makakalimutan do'n 'yung makeup ko kasi excited na excited akong tanggalin. Biruin mo, buong araw kang naka-makeup, buong araw kang [naka-false eyelashes], ang bigat-bigat na ng mata ko no'n. Tapos ang hirap umiyak kasi ang daming nakalagay sa mata mo, may contact lenses, 'yung pilikmata.
"Lalo 'pag nag-shave ako, after eight hours, makikita mo meron na kagad kaya from time to time, lagi akong nagse-shave kasi kailangan maging feminine 'yung itsura ko no'n."
Ken also shared a fun fact about his audition for the role.
"Kung sino magme-makeup sa 'min sa audition, siya rin 'yung magme-makeup sa buong teleserye.
"Nagulat talaga ko no'ng mineykapan ako [ni Ian Mirandilla] (makeup artist). No'ng una, okay makeup, tapos tinanong n'ya ko, 'nak, gusto mo bang makuha 'yung role mo?' Tapos sabi ko, siyempre naman po.'
"Tapos sabi niya, 'papayag ka bang ahitin ko na 'yung kilay mo ngayong audition pa lang. 'Di ko alam kung papahit ako baka kasi mamaya 'di naman ako makuha, 'di ba?
"Tapos sinundan ko 'yung pakiradam ko na, 'sige po ahitin n'yo na.'
"No'ng minake-up-an ako, ang galing mukha akong babae talaga. Na-shock rin ako sa sarili ko."
After one hour, Rita successfully finished Ken's makeup look.
"Ang dali mong makeup-an, grabe, parang konting-konting [makeup], nagmu-mukha ka agad babae," she exclaimed.
As his friend, Ken gave his honest feedback about Rita being a makeup artist.
He uttered, "Magaan 'yung kamay mo sobra, inaantok na nga ako e. You're very friendly and talktaive in a good way."
