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.

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.

Korean Make up Segment

I was invited by TV Host and Philippine Star Columnist , Angel Rivero for a "Korean" make up segment on the show called "Wheels" a few weeks ago. We talked about how big of an influence Koreans have in us when it comes to beauty and fashion. In the show, I was able to introduce to them my favorite Korean brand , Avant-scène Make up Professional.  It was around 5-7minutes talk with a little bit of acting that we were able to discuss and do a demo of Korean's "no-make-up" make up look.  I will post the whole video here next time. The Philippine Star's Wheels airs every Tuesday nights at 7pm on One News Channel, Channel 8 on Cignal TV cable.  (Reruns are every Wednesdays 10am, Saturdays 2pm and 9pm and Sundays 3:30pm and 11:30pm)
