Aaaa---choooo!!!


       Get well. Get healthy. Drink lots of vitamin C. One of the horror stories I had with clients are those who've had runny nose due to a bad cold and allergic rhinitis.It is really hard for clients that they don't feel well and also to us make up artists who do make up on them. Recently, I had an experience with a client who I think has allergic rhinitis.They are from abroad so I also think they are not used to the weather and the surroundings here.Many factors to consider too.When I was doing the make up, I had to be really careful not to swivel and shake my make up brushes too much in front of her face especially under her nose. It was hard for me since I had to retouch the area of the nose every time the client sneezes on a piece of tissue.
I asked her to drink an antihistamine but was not able to buy. She kept on yawning so maybe that drug will do good but not sooo good with feeling sleepy the entire day! I say SHE LACKED REST AND SLEEP.

       You don't want to have watery eyes and a red nose on your wedding right? Avoid some practices that will trigger your allergy such as a change in lifestyle. Instead of going to a bar with your friends, why not go to a movie date instead so you won't be out too late and won't inhale the smoke from cigarettes during bar hours?This can trigger your allergy. Why not have a cool and clean shower too but skip the perfume? You just have to spritz a littleduring the day--use a mild cologne instead.

     Please do not blame us make up artists that a part of your face such as your nose (well maybe a part of your outer nostrils) is not covered with make up. It was covered alright but was meant to be just temporary=( A retouch won't make it any better.Better to be healthy so you will have the strength later on!

    Oh by the way, I have this sickness too...but I am sooo hard headed! Doctors told me to wear a mask all the time!

Bridal Make up Beauty Transformation

II'm back again! I'm sharing this video and photos with you!  These were taken on  my sister's wedding day! My sister and I had the greatest make up session in our lives! Imagine us, sisters who bonded on the last hours before she says "I do". We just laughed and cried!I will never forget this moment!  I chose not to do a neutral or earth-tone look as I was eyeing a look that's a little both dramatic and ethereal. I asked Jay, my trusted hairstylist and friend to do her beautiful braided hair. Products used: Temptu Airbrush Foundation and Blush   temptu.com Loose Powder Foundation to set:  shuuemura.com Eyebrow gel creme:  macprocosmetics Eyeshadow colors:  viseartparis.com Lipcolor:  stila.com #beautytransformation #bridalmakeup #hairandmakeup   Before (bare faced no make up except eyelash extensions)  After (straight from my phone camera)  And these are photos from the photographer , Ralph Alejandrino.

It's been a long time...

 Oh my, it's been a long time since I have last posted something about work... and I think it has been a year already to be exact!  Anyway, I won't make any promises but I will really try my very best to post works more often and perhaps share more about what ladies often want to learn more. Even the men can join too.  And to share some more today, I almost gave up being a make up artist! Probably one of the reasons why is because, most people nowadays are becoming more and more of a critic and doesn't know what real art is. I had a lot of experiences, really bad ones, that I almost lost myself but I just prayed to God. Then, it happened...I still get blessings from Him. They just kept pouring in. I couldn't even believe it myself but I always thought God was the one who is telling me to slow down. To enjoy. To do my best.  Now, I'm grateful.This is me, still working and surviving....  after 13 years. Thank you God. I am grateful.

New packaging! New formulation?

This is again an update of the pressed powder I'm using! I just couldn't believe why I switched from a luxurious brand I was using before into this! I mean, it's nothing negative as this is still an Asian brand as it says "Made in Thailand" . This is actually good. The pressed powder is medium coverage for me like a foundation and I like that it covers my imperfections without using any concealer. Even my dark undereyes were magically covered!  I will post the before and after pics soon😊 Anyway, the new packaging is very handy and cute with a mirror inside! However, the scent is kind of "off" for me.I can't quite place it. The old version doesn't have that smell and is actually quite "unscented" (I have to do the  sniffing again once more just to be sure). I tried the powder again this time and I think it's just like before! My face looks flawless and blends into my skin after a few minutes! It's just the smell that's bothe...
