Maxine on the set of the movie
I don’t normally blog about movies, but this one is pageant-related in a way so here goes…
On November 1, please support Miss Universe Philippines 2016 and 65th Miss Universe Top 6 Finisher Maxine Medina in the movie Spirit of the Glass 2: The Haunted. She stars alongside Benjamin Alves, Cristine Reyes, Daniel Matsunaga, Ashley Ortega and more.

When Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina finally crowned her successor last April 30, it’s like a big responsibility was taken off her shoulders. True, she still has close to six more months to serve as a Bb. Pilipinas titleholder. But at this point, Rachel Peters is slowly growing into her niche and will take full command of the title till the next edition of the nationals.
I’d really like to see Maxine propel some needed normalcy back to her hectic life. You should have seen the pressure she went through as the host delegate during the 65th Miss Universe. There was even a point when she could no longer be reached by family members because of the endless commitments and deadly schedule she was required to meet in almost clockwork precision.
So back to this feature, I’m glad to see a more relaxed version of Maxine now. Just like in the video below where she did a pageant makeup tutorial for Preview Magazine. Watch now.

Albert Kurniawan defines sexy Maxine Medina in this new look
While I do not consider myself an expert when it comes to assessing the applied make-up and finished look of a beauty queen, I know that Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina is registering several notches better in the photos uploaded in this post. Albert Kurniawan defines her brand of sexiness by using a softer color palette. This brings out the natural contour of her face more fluidly. Her lips are also sporting a paler shade that will definitely make people sit up and take notice, instead of hues that could be teetering on clownish for some.
Overall, I am really liking the soft glow of her skin now.
Your thoughts, dear readers? 🙂
How are you liking her here, dear readers?

In only a month and a half from now, the 65th Miss Universe will commence in Manila. And you expect the host delegate – Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina – to look at her best.

As for her latest photoshoot with Raymond Saldaña (photo below), her look is also winning in my opinion.

But trust our host delegate for The 65th Miss Universe Pageant to settle down her nerves just as easily. Her smile may tell you that going for a back-to-back is something that she will tackle with ease and precision, but deep within, the firm determination keeps getting stronger everyday. If the successes of her Bb. Pilipinas sisters are not enough to motivate her, then the loving support of her fans and followers plus the entire nation should keep her on the right track.
Watch her interview on “The Source” of CNN Philippines with host Pinky Webb and tell me your thoughts after.
