Classic Bride

Christmas Party Makeup

For Meryll (Mega Magazine Deputy Editor) I used a Makeup forever Duo matte foundation and set it with NC30 Mac loose powder. Before that, I used primer on her T-zone because she has oily skin, I used Smashbox oil free primer. For concealers, I used Bobbie brown peach for under eye are, and MAC nc30 for spots, red marks.

Since Meryll is Pale. I wanted a natural warm blush so I  used Cover girl cream blush in Cinnamon and Loreal golden peach blush. For the eyes,  I used bronze and golden brown from Smashbox quad and eye wish palette and topped it with MAC champagne gold for  a little bit of shine. For lashes, I opted to use Mac mascarra and some falsies.

For the lips, its Revlon Nude and Victoria Secret gold gloss.

For Ck ( Advertising head of Mega Magazine)

Kryolan foundation and Cinema secrets loose powder. MAC nc30 for concealing and peach Bobbi brown for under eye.

Eyeshadow is MAC barestudy, as base and matte brown from Smashbox eye wish palette and MAC espresso for the crease. Mascarra is from Maybelline and some false eyelashes. For the lower lashline, its a bronze cream eyeliner and bronze eyeshadow, both from Smashbox. SInce the lips is very strong, I balaced the makeup with pink cheeks. I used Cover girl cream blush in Berry and prestige powder blush.

For the Lips, I used Lancome Red Cherry, Truco Red liner and Revlon Russian Red gloss for the extra oomph and shine

Holiday inspired nail colors

These 3 colors are my latest favorite nail polish. Since its holiday season, I chose to sport metallic and
sparkly colors. What is so great about these 3 shades are that they are all quick drying.

This deep brown color with gold glitters looked very festive yet still safe because of the brown base.Bought this from Elianto for P100, discounted from P199.  I also love the bottle design. I was not able to take a picture but the top has a floral carvings and as you can see, the cap has a floral design as well. Really feminine. I think this will be a  a nice gift idea for christmas.

This silver metallic shade is P325.00, quite steep I know. But  like the color very much. I had to choose between this silver metallic and the other silver shade but it looked like a foil, so I bought this one instead. Unfortunately, after trying it on for a day, the color faded. Well, I didnt put any clear polish on top, but the other two polish from Elianto did not fade at all, even without the top coat.

This Emerald green shade with gold glitters is from Elianto as well. I am not really a fan of green nail polish, but lately, im loving it a lot. I even bought another green shade, but will feature next time, since its not sparkly or festive.

I will feature more  colors of nail polish next time that we gals can wear this Holiday, that is great for parties. Maybe  I can also come up a nail tutorial.

Behind the scenes from Amy & sams wedding

Amy found me at a bridal expo last June at the Wrold trade center. I did trial makeup on her and she booked right away. I was so happy she liked the makeup very  much. David on the other hand was a very good friend, who bailed me out of a problem. 3 days before the wedding my hairstylist partner cannot make it .Good thing David (who is a photographer by profession ) helped me out and he agreed to help me with the hair.

First time for me to witness a muslim wedding. I did the makeup for Amys friends as well.

Jill and Chica at the Philip Morris event

Last Friday I got asked to do makeup for some ladies at the Philip Morris event at Sofitel. I did the hair and makeup for these 2 wonderful, lovely ladies, Chika and Jill.  Chika's makeup is sort of a 50's glam makeup, but I modernized the eyes and added sparkle. The hair was Veronica lake inspired.

Jill's makeup is very chic. Silver eyes and bright fushia lips to match her gown. And since the event is held at Sofitel ballroom, lights would be yellow of course.That is why I made the makeup a bit intense than usual, since the lights will diffuse the makeup!

TIP: for night event, do not use a makeup with SPF. It will reflect light and will make your face look abit washed or lighter than usual, because the titanium dioxide (responsible for the spf ingredient) will reflect light. Also, use a primer so that your makeup last longer.

Sarah's 18th birthday!!

I wanted  Sarah to look glamourous and  modern .

 For the face : I used Smashbox HD foundation and Mac studio fix powder. For the eyes, I use Smashbox bronze at the crease and  Mac paint pot in bare study. I did a drop smokey eye design and loaded her lash line with lots of black liner, smoldering from Mac and mac fluidline. 

For the lashes, I combined Maybelline mega volume mascara blue bionic mascara from Smashbox. I did not line her upper lash line, just lots of mascarra and  fake lashes. The blush is Revlon in sienna, lips in revlon nude and mac lip glass gloss.

Sarah is very pretty and very down to earth and I didnt have a hard time doing her makeup because she knows exactly what to do.  If I dont know better, I would say she is like a pro! I also did the makeup for her mom and  sister in law :-)
