My lovely November '09 bride from Abu Dhabi, she's a flight attendant and is as lovely as she seems when we were emailing each other to book her Tagaytay wedding.

Today was Zet's trial hair and makeup session, and it is the first time we met as well. We spent the first 20 minutes discussing her gown, hair, and makeup looks before we got started.

Zet wanted to do a smokey eye because she's not so much of a lipstick fan, which was also a wise choice. After the airbrush makeup, I did the smokey eye but not in the typical black or grey. I used shades like old rose, bronze, and brown. She was having an outdoor wedding so I think the shades would suit that.

I highlighted the inner part of her eyes with an old rose shade of shadow with a slight shimmer. This emphasized her cat-eye shaped eyes so much more.

The blush is a delicate shade of old rose as well.

Zet has a set of great looking brows so not much product was needed to shape and emphasize it. I used MAC's brow mascara to thicken it.

Lancome's Color Fever Shine lipstick in a blushing brownish pink was the perfect product for Zet. It's sheer and has shimmer which would be perfect for someone who's not used to using high-pigmented lip colors.




Hairstylist Tony Dusich did 2 options for her bridal hair that would go perfect with her lace gown and outdoor-venue setting. I love that Tony is willing to do options during trial to show my brides different looks for her wedding day. He tells brides if the hairstyle that she wants would suit her and would make suggestions.

STYLE 2:
No part, sided loose chignon
