Gretchen’s collection includes Chantecaille Talc Free Loose Powder, Shu Uemura false eyelashes, Laura Mercier Illuminating Quad, Prescriptives Immediate Glow Skin Conditioning Tonic, and Lip Fusion XL.

“These are brands used by the top make-up artists on the runways,” says Agoo Bengzon. Make-up artist Gyno Ferrer estimates that the Greta collection may cost more than half a million pesos.

Though Gretchen doesn’t have actual make-up favorites, these are what she has been using recently, according to Gyno Ferrer, who is Patrick Rosas’s assistant make-up artist.

Gretchen owns brushes from Nars, Bobbi Brown, and Shu Uemura. Brushes should be stored lying down, just as Gretchen does here. “If it’s upright, parang the glue tends to gather at the base,” Agoo explains. “That makes your brushes more prone to shedding.”
