Seeing the promotional pictures of the movie made me appreciate Jennylyn Mercado's classic beauty for the first time. Her finger- waved hair, which reportedly took almost 4 hours to fix during shooting, plus the vintage makeup, were executed excellently by her makeup artist and hairstylist. The 1920's is undoubtedly one of the most interesting periods for makeup and fashion. The typical look for this era includes a red tiny lips balanced by a light makeup on the rest of the face. The eyebrows are thin, dark, slightly extended and turned downwards.
The movie "Rosario" is about a passionate woman ahead of her time (i.e., liberated) during the 1920's. It is said to be a monumental yet intimate portrait of a woman's emancipation and the sometimes painful consequencesof following one's desires. This is Albert Martinez' debut directorial feature film and first movie in the Philippines to be filmed with an Arri Alexa camera.
Surprisingly, despite Jennylyn Mercado being believed to be the front runner in the best actress category (which was won by Ai-ai de las Alas) of this years MMFF awards night, she was snubbed even in the nominations. Let's see how she will fare in next year's major award-giving bodies. For now, at least her make-up and styling win my attention.
