Vickie Rushton is Miss Ever Bilena

MANILA, Philippines — Binibining Pilipinas candidate Vickie Marie Rushton of Negros Occidental has been named this year’s Miss Ever Bilena. The awarding took place during the Ever Bilena (EB) corporate visit of the 2019 Binibining Pilipinas official candidates last April 25 at the EB headquarters in Baesa, Caloocan City.

Vickie, who was Bb. Pilipinas 2018 first runner-up, was chosen because she projected confidence and style — qualities of an Ever Bilena woman. “I’m just so happy. Last year, I was Miss Careline and now I am this year’s Miss Ever Bilena. I feel so grateful for the opportunity,” said Vickie.

Other winners are Emma Tiglao, Miss Advance; Samantha Bernardo, Miss Blackwater; and Jessica Marasigan, Miss Careline.

The 40 candidates were presented during a casual fashion show which was also graced by EB CEO and president Dioceldo Sy, COO Silliman Sy, Key Accounts manager Denice Sy and marketing manager Olive Padilla.

The 40 Binibining Pilipinas 2019 official candidates during the fashion show held at Ever Bilena headquarters in Caloocan City.

To help them prepare for the big night, the ladies were given an exclusive, easy-to-follow make-up tutorial from celebrity make-up artist Muriel Vega Perez. Apart from make-up techniques, the cosmetics guru also discussed skincare tips.

From pre-pageant events and charity visits to the most-awaited coronation night, all 40 hopefuls from different provinces and backgrounds are set to look their best throughout the entire pageant season with the help of Ever Bilena.

The cosmetics company has catered to the Filipina beauty to help enhance their individual beauty with quality and affordable cosmetics. As a pioneer in the local beauty industry, EB has stood by its motto that “Every Filipina deserves beauty that lasts a lifetime.”

The Binibining Pilipinas 2019 Coronation Night will be held on June 9, 7 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
