Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, Claudine Barretto’s lawyer, posted three photos on Twitter to show how make-up can hide bruises.
The first photo showed a battered Claudine.
It was followed by a photo of the actress after concealer has been applied to hide the bruises.
The third image shows a fully made up Claudine. The lawyer captioned it with: “Now, look at how even a black-and-blue Claudine looks after make-up is done.”
The photos were posted days after the picture of Claudine showing her thigh wounds came out on TV, and its authenticity questioned by some netizens.
