The 3rd Philippine Wedding Industry Ball



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. Since it was an evening affair and the venue was in a hotel,where the lights are more softer and more dramatic, I decided to give it a go but I was hesitant at first because I know a change of shape in  eyebrows makes me look totally different. 

And to make my eyes look bigger, I wore contact lenses in a greyish hue. 

I love coral lips! So I used that colored instead to tame everything! And I'm right about highlight and contouring it brings out the dimensional effect in your face. 

Here are some pics with some suppliers I said "hello" to.

His outfit was so unique and so modern.

With Berlyn Yap of Blissful Events and also a member of PAWP.She looks so elegant and beautiful.

With Jervy Santiago, one of the most sought-after celebrity and wedding photographers. He came a bit late due to some work load so I'm not so sure about his clothing but I guess arriving in formal is acceptable. 

With Jason Magbanua, also a known videographer in the industry

One of the finalists in the most best dressed category.She designed this on her own.How creative! 



Hair and Make up I did for designer Sheryl Vicente. She designed her own gown ofcourse! Elegant!

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.

Muji Cosmetics

My first Muji purchase was years ago.... I'm not so sure.I bought their beautiful pink blusher and neutral eyeshadow before which came out really nice and natural. Now, I want to share with you my recent purchase from the same store, here are the pictures.  Make up Base-25ml Make up foundation-25ml Eyecolor palette-2.2g Creamy liquid concealer-6.6g  Powder foundation-9.8g  Loose powder in pearl natural-18g White foundation case I love MUJI, it's from Japan and their products are gentle on my skin. They are affordable too and the packaging resembles to that of a well-known and expensive Japanese brand, not all though. It's good that they are including UV protection too which is really important for me.  This is the eyeshadow palette and it's very handy. I love its case because it's transparent you can see the colors instantly.The pigmentation is quite good as I've said looks natural maybe sheer. Better layer the colors for intense effect. I also suggest that you ...

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.
