Danlord Kim, Computer Engineering student from San Pedro Laguna won The Big Beauty Challenge Year 3 top prize with his interpretation of the grand face-off theme, “Makeup Transformation”.
Kim competed against nine other aspiring makeup artists and took home a total of P70,000 cash and a trip for two to Phuket, Thailand.
The Danlord shared that he sees makeup as a form of art. “Four years ago, I started doing makeup for fun, but over the years, I started doing easy-fix makeup as well, then prosthetics. Recently, I learned how to do creative makeup.”
On normal days, the freelance makeup artist said that it usually takes him two hours to do his every day makeup. “I really take time with my brow and base foundation because prepping the skin is essential in having good makeup.”
First runner up in the Ever Bilena Big Beauty Challenge Year 3 was AJ Castro. Donald Ancayan came in as second runner up. The contest judges comprised of Ever Bilena’s marketing manager, Olive Padilla, EB Advance brand manager, Creole David, and past champion of Big Beauty Challenge Min Ortiz.
Now on its third year, The Big Beauty Challenge spurred students, makeup enthusiasts and professional makeup artists to create a tutorial on how to achieve a complete makeup look, following a specific theme, only using Ever Bilena products.
Ever Bilena, the country’s leading local cosmetics brand, also carries EB Advance, a full range of high quality products for makeup enthusiasts, and Careline Cosmetics, for edgy and trendy teens.

When people talk about kids’ art, they often picture basic drawings composed of shapes and curves, with colors outside the lines. But from the beginning, young artist Worth Lodriga’s work has been anything but basic.
When he was two years old, Worth’s motor skills were way advanced for his age that his art could be mistaken for a 5-year old’s. His mother noticed this innate gift when she was teaching him to read and write. She took a quick break and left him to play on his own, and when she returned, she saw her son doodling on the whiteboard. “I was amazed because I hadn’t seen a 2-year old boy who could draw a human being in 3D,” she said. That was the moment she thought of enrolling Worth in Promil Four’s i-Shine Talent Camp.
Worth Lodriga
Worth joined Promil Four’s i-Shine Talent Camp 4, formerly known as Promil Pre-School’s i-Shine Talent Camp when he was just four years old. There he explored drawing details, painting, and other crafty activities. “I enjoyed the experience a lot because I learned how to widen my imagination and make better art,” he said.
This exposure helped pave the way for his professional career as an artist. After joining the talent camp, Worth participated in and won several international competitions, including:
His latest recognition was the 10th Ani ng Dangal Awards for the Visual Arts category in 2018 where he was honored for garnering international awards from the previous year.
Ani ng Dangal was launched in 2009 to give honor and recognition to artists whose works and achievements have placed the Philippines among the best in the world.
Worth is a shining example of how parents play an important role in nurturing their kids’ talents and making sure they are exposed to learning experiences that will hone and nurture these gifts. As such, Worth is further helping moms and dads nurture their children’s gifts as he appears in the newest Promil Four TVC.
Just like Worth, parents can nurture the gift by allowing their children to explore their talents, and shine brightly through experiences that will help further develop their skills. To know more about Promil Four’s i-Shine Talent Camp 7, visit www.promilnurturethegift.com.ph for more details.
