Fanny Serrano considers it as his strength as he has
seen “the transition of changes in make-up artistry” and at this point, he
still “wants to continue learning.” Working in the beauty industry for over 45
years with some of the country’s most beautiful and stylish women, he says that
through the years, he was “able to see the real meaning of beauty, and that is
--confidence.”

James
Cooper, on the other hand, has worked with several Hollywood celebrities
and was the first Filipino to introduce air-brush makeup in the Philippines. What
truly makes him happy is that he gets “to share my knowledge and earnings. I am
happy that a lot of talented hairstylists and makeup artists are passionate in
what they do, and that I also learn from them.” For James, “beauty is like the
light that comes from your heart, adding that “women should wear makeup because
it makes them feel good.”

Jesi
Mendez says that, “beauty is when you look at things
beautifully. When you have confidence and a positive outlook, you will always
look beautiful.” After three decades in the salon industry, Jesi would like to
share with young artists “not to work for money but to work because they love
what they do.”

a PRO-Card, which entitles the bearer to discounts and perks from the store.
The SM Beauty Section is the first and only retailer to offer such a privilege
