PDA naman dyan!

grooming for Ramon Bautista by yours truly. hair by mors alvarez.

here are a few behind the scenes photos.

 

PDA! paglambing na di awkward.

yuan+fran wedding

this couple is very close to my heart.
from planning the proposal - to proposal - to planning the wedding - to the wedding day i was with them.
so when fran asked me to do her makeup for her wedding, of course i couldn't say no.

here are a few behind the scenes pictures during the preparation. :)

 

this is my dole!

did the grooming for chef jeremy favia, jon avila and phil younghusband.

it was a short and fun shoot. never a dull moment.

below is the print ad:

first solo commercial as make up artist

this is my first solo commercial as a make up artist.

i had a great time shooting because all my talents are kids. 

kids are so fun to work with. although the make up room is noisy and chaotic because of the 10 kids, shooting was a breeze because all the kids are professional.

enjoy! :) 

first ever commercial as makeup artist

summer is almost over and this commercial has been airing since start of summer. but i just have to share with you my very first commercial in this new career. :)

i did the makeup of the support talents.  (will post some behind the scenes pictures when i have time)

i really loved the shoot. it's a different experience doing what i do now. not stressful at all! :)

so here it is! :)

grunge.

it was an impromptu makeup session with camille on leap day.

makeup session with gatch

last saturday, b, gatch and i went to a friend's birthday party in eastwood. gatch picked us up had dinner in the condo. 

gatch is a willing model for my makeup school. unfortunately, my classes fall on a weekday so she can't leave work and be my model. 

finally i got a chance to do her makeup. :)

gatch before :)

last day.

the day has come. the last day for this module. 

for this day, no lesson though but practice and consultation with ms. mikee.

at first i wanted to do audibiche again but decided not to stress myself and do whatever.

my model today is my neighbor kim.

kim before

i asked her what she wants me to do for her makeup. and she answered "kahit ano! (whatever)"

so i grabbed my makeup brushes and do just what my gut tells me to do.

and voila!

maquillage professionnel day 12: evantrail eyes

evantrail (a-van-try) eyes is another type of french makeup that is often used in stage or runway.

the idea is to use three colors and create a fan shape on the eyes. 

pretty much like last summer's trend color blocking.

ms. mikee's evantrail

maquillage professionnel day 11: audibiche eyes

today's lesson is an introduction to high fashion makeup.

audibiche (o-di-bish) is a french makeup style inspired by bridgette bardot from the '60s.

eyes should be intense and dramatic. 

the focal point of this look is the liner. we have recreate the doe eye/fish tail for the liner.

sounds hard? hell yeah!

i love ms. mikee's work. she used diamond powder more a more dramatic look.

so here's my peg for today.  

hoping i'll achieve this *fingers crossed*

maquillage professionnel day 10: bridal makeup (night)

gosh how time flies! it's day 10 already. 3 more days then classes are over. :(

today's lesson is about bridal makeup for night. we were taught the arabian style of doing the bridal makeup.

the defining point of this style is the flicked eyeliner in the upper lash line.

you can also use other colors and not just neutrals for the eyeshadow. 

ms. mikee's model, joan

my model today is alyssa. i also used her as a model here.

alyssa before

i want her eyeshadow to be colorful so i used this picture as peg.

maquillage professionnel day 9: bridal makeup (day)

class picture first before lesson :)

i think this look is very similar to the day look.

we had to keep the bride looking fresh and blooming.

we had to use light and bright colors (although a little color wouldn't hurt)

ms. mikee's model "daisy"

this look is more about showing the bride's face. 

highlight her features and cover (if there's any) chismis.

make sure that the makeup shouldn't make the bride a whole different person. :)

maquillage professionnel day 8: makeup for colored photography

paying attention on the demo

today's lesson was so fun because we get to play with colors! :)

i searched for the perfect peg on the net that incorporates my favorite colors: pink, purple and blue.

so this is my peg for today:
