Stories of a makeup artist...

The Phillipinne Wedding Association of Planners recently held a memorable event for all the Filipino suppliers at Dusit Thani Manila on November 4,2014. All the suppliers, including I,  as make up artist were there to experience a formal gala wearing only modern designs of Filipino wear. Since I was not so prepared and it was my last minute decision to join, I just borrowed a simple black gown made for my petite height and frame.So I just made my make up look ultra-glam and flawless and had my hair down to one side to frame my face.  So, here is my look: I enhanced my face by using only browns, greys and blacks for my eyes for a smoky effect. I blended everything making sure there were no harsh lines. And to make my eyes pop, I wore natural but long uneven strands of false strip lashes and finished it off with a wiggle of black mascara. How about my eyebrows? I made it actually heavier or a little dramatic by giving it a squared effect on the area where it sits on top of the nose line.

Have you been to a spooky halloween party?If you have, what was your costume like? Did you have a mask? Here are some looks that I have tried on myself without really buying anything just some facepaint and simple clothes or maybe a cape or apron.  Do I look scary?  Here are some shots with Bella the "warrior"  from twilight  and dracula,

A few months ago, I collaborated a shoot with Photographer/Videographer Mario Wong to update some of my works as an artist.Here are some of the pictures. They were taken with different lighting which is good since you get to experiment with lights and shadows.  Model Niña for Bridal Model Virgie for Avant Garde Model Riz for Glamour Model Arianne for Natural
