PREVIEW.PH PAY TRIBUTE TO OMAR ERMITA
Nagbigay naman ang Preview.ph ng tribute kay Omar sa pamamagitan ng artikulong inilathala ng website noong September 25.
Inalala ng Preview ang husay at talento ng namayapang celebrity makeup artist.
“Omar was the talented makeup artist behind innumerable covers and editorials, with creativity that spanned a wide range of looks and directions.
“His contributions to the magazine go back many years, and he also lent his artistry to Style Bible, Preview’s then-online counterpart.
“The creative always showed up with his artistry, no matter what.
“When an editorial inspired by Studio Ghibli required the team to trek, he not only went with them but also created a weather-proof makeup look that withstood every condition—from a sweat-drenched hike to a layout where the model was submerged in a river.”

Saludo rin ang staff sa propesyonalismo ni Omar.
“He was professional both as a teammate and as a loved one—the kind of person who would fly to Balesin for an editorial shoot and then head to Tagaytay for a wedding on the very same day.”
Nagpasalamat ang Preview sa lahat nang naging contribution ni Omar sa publication.
“Omar’s approach to beauty was simple and straightforward, and that’s exactly what allowed him to create the most unique and intricate looks.
“He was known for making a big impact by working with the minimum. He understood the significance of every detail, crafting each look with thoughtfulness and precision.”
JANINE GUTIERREZ FIRST EVER FASHION SHOOT WAS WITH OMAR ERMITA

“Omar Ermita was my truest introduction to fashion and beauty as art.
“Meeting him on a Preview set in 2014 taught me the meaning of the line: art wasn’t supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”
Ani Janine, iyon ang kanyang first ever fashion shoot.
“He was chic and sharp and funny.
“He gave me dark eyeliner and nude lips. It went so well that we were back together the next day for another shoot, this time for fun, again with BJ and MJ.”
Mula noon ay naging team na sila at hindi mapaghiwalay.
Aniya, taglay ni Omar ang complete knowledge of fashion references.
Sabi pa ni Janine: “We all looked up to him. He had the final say. If he said a look was better a certain way, it most definitely was.
“If we weren’t sure, we would ask Omies. If something wasn’t working, we would ask Omies. He always had the answers. He was our north star.”

Lagi umano niyang maaalala si Omar na dala-dala ang smallest pro makeup kit ever nito.
“So grateful for you, Omies. Wholeheartedly, without you, I would not be here, and I’m sure many others feel the same.”
