RENOWNED makeup artist RB Chanco couldn’t contain her excitement after finally getting the chance to do Kris Aquino’s makeup again for a public event.

On Instagram, RB shared that working with the Queen of All Media for the “People of the Tear” event was a moment she had long hoped for but feared might never happen.

“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,” she wrote.

However, she revealed that Kris is still battling serious health issues. “She’s still very sick—frail, fragile, and fighting every day—which made every makeup product and brushstroke feel like a risk,” RB admitted.

With Kris’ severe allergies and skin flares, RB was worried that applying makeup after such a long time might trigger a reaction. “But by some miracle, her reaction was minimal, and that alone was a huge relief,” she added.

Despite her brief appearance at the awarding ceremony, RB saw it as a powerful statement of resilience. “It was deeply meaningful—a sign that she’s still here, still fighting, still moving forward,” she said.

She ended her post on a hopeful note: “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.”
