At long last, Alex's big day had arrived! We were all so giddy and excited because we had so much fun during her prenup makeup session and trial hair and makeup session.
10.10.10 is the date! It's getting close that's why Kat and I decided it was time to do her trial already. Just in time for her prenup pictorial!
Going for the slightly smokey, and bronzed look was the perfect look for her. Kat has strong cat-eye eyes that's why I slightly made her shadow smokey to soften her look and opened them up with long lashes.
After airbrushing her face and cheeks, I defined her brows as well to frame her face. Pairing her slightly dramatic look with soft pinkish-brown lips softened and toned-down her eyes and brows.
For her hair, Tony opted for 3 looks for her prenup. The first look is up-styled (as per requested by her hairstylist), the next look (when Kat removes her pins) was a sided look, and the last look was completely down with curls.

The first time Cookie and I spoke was on the phone when she was booking me for her wedding. This was a year ago... Now, it's less than 2 months before her wedding!
As soon as I saw her, I knew that going for the more dramatic eye makeup look was perfect since she had beautiful deep-set eyes.
Bronzed airbrushed cheeks and a pale lip color would bring out her beautiful warm skin and would give her that bridal glow.

Only 1 week to go before Kamille's big day! My bride from Australia had her trial session today with me and Tony. They were having their prenup pictorial today and Tony and I agreed that this was the perfect look for her.
Kamille is very kalog so a more casual and yet sweet was the way to go.
I airbrushed her makeup, contour and cheeks and did everything else by hand, which is still the best for precision. LOVELY!
I just love iridescent powders!

My pretty bride Lizette. Isn't she sweet? She was so easy to work with, I love that she trusted me and Tony with the hair and makeup.
Airbrush makeup emphasized her beautiful skin. I used 2 layers only on airbrush and the finish was enough to cover any redness on her face. I wanted her skin to still be shown so 2 layers was more than enough :)
This is the hair that Tony did:

This was the first time Leah and I met and we got along instantly!
She has gorgeous skin so she didn't need a whole lot of makeup on her face. I just gave her a glow for her prenup pictorial that day so she wouldn't look too made up.

Sis and I haven't seen each other for a while so imagine our fun when we got together to do her makeup for the CATS premier...
Anyhoo, she was wearing a gown that had lots of details and a printed one, so we went for a very clean and fresh look. Don't you just love her skin? :)

Beautiful Marnelli, my bride from Canada, had her trial hair and makeup with me in time for her prenup pictorial today. She is my August bride and we are excited to do her hair and makeup. She has nice long hair which is easy to up-style, and her lovely morena skin is easy to play up too!
Marnelli and her fiance are having their prenup pictorial in an old 50s diner so I did a fresh makeup look which is perfect for their theme. Fresh makeup was the thing back in the 50s.
For Marnelli's hair, Tony just did loose curls because she wanted something relaxed:

My client Myla Cho will be a secondary sponsor in a wedding today in Tagaytay. She booked me a couple of months ago and we got a long instantly. She's a lovely girl (who looks so young I didn't know she was married with 2 kids!), with shoulder length hair. Myla wanted to do a "Diyosa" look for the wedding alongside her friends at the wedding (who all had long hair), so she bought extensions.
But first, let's talk about the makeup. Myla has never tried airbrush before so she opted for airbrush makeup. She fell in love with it instantly! I only brushed a single layer or airbrush on her since she had clear skin.
She wanted a fresh no-makeup makeup look but I suggested that we do a light smokey eye so that she won't look too "bride-y" and will go well with her hair. This was also the first time she did this makeup look too.
What I did was create a smokey dramatic eye for her, and still did the fresh look that she wanted. I didn't want to contour a whole lot to avoid making her look too bronze and tanned. She wanted to look fair.
For Myla's hair, she bought lots of extensions! She had shoulder length straightened hair (and thick too!) and this is what Tony created for her hair!
I was soooo jealous! Hehehe...

Chesa is getting married next Friday and she found an opportunity to have her first trial session with me. It was her grandma's birthday and they were going to an all-day affair celebrating it.
Instead of doing a full-blown wedding makeup look, I did her makeup more subtly just giving her enough color for a daytime event, but enough too to be not washed out at night.
Her fair clear skin was a big part of beautifully applied makeup. I didn't even have to spend so much time blending her airbrush makeup because her skin is well taken cared of.
This is not going to be her wedding day makeup look, we had this session just for her to get a feel of the makeup and how color looks on her face. She never wears any makeup so I didn't want to shock her with too much makeup! Hehehe... So come her wedding day, we will be doing a more defined makeup look.
As for Chesa's hair, Tony also didn't do her wedding up-do because she might look too made up during the day and for night. So he kept it more casual and yet classy. A hairstyle that looks like she did it herself:

My beautiful bride Sarah had her trial hair and makeup today with me and Tony. This was the first time we met and I immediately fell in love with her :) She's so sweet and blessed with good skin! I just love her smile and her eyes are very easy to put makeup on. Just a little already gave a lot of character!
Sarah wanted a look that was fresh and natural. Something that doesn't look over made but has definition in pictures. After airbrush, I applied bronzer all over her face to give a little glow and a rose-colored blush to give a natural yet warmth on her cheeks. Perfect for her Tagaytay wedding. A little bit more than the usual blush on her cheeks is appropriate since it's cold in Tagaytay. Hence, the "rosey cheeks" look.
As for Sarah's hair, she wanted a loose look, nothing "banat" or a wet look, full of hairstyling products. Something soft and natural as well. So this is what Tony did:

Thanks for sharing your photos Hanna!
"Hi Sabs! I'm alive! Wore the pilik-mata all day last Tuesday. My makeup stayed even being under the sun for most of the day, we were all really impressed! It did not make me look cakey too, and the color of the foundation/powder was perfect, like it was really just my skin. Thank you very much for making me feel like a beautiful woman that day. Those were rare times. I can't wait for the wedding day! Tony's hair was really nice too. I loved the curls. I figured our how to put it up and down throughout the day. Will send photos as soon as we get them from Nelwin. See you June 12!" -Hanna Alerta [Sent via Email, April 8, 2010]
"Hi Sabs! Please allow me to share some of our prenup photos. We were all amazed how my makeup stayed on despite the heat and sweating. (It was 38deg that day!) Thank you very much again and again to you and Tony! I'm now all excited (not anymore anxious) about how I will look come wedding day. Thanks again Sabs!" -Hanna Alerta [Sent via Email, May 3, 2010]

My August bride Anna... She's so soft spoken and demure like her features. Hehehe... I love her skin! It was so easy to put makeup on her, the airbrush makeup didn't even have to pile on for full coverage!Anyway, I love her deepset eyes so I created a romantic look for her. She was having her prenup pictorial today as well but it was indoors so I felt that something soft and fresh was the look to go. I defined her eyes to emphasize them more! Which she can very much get away with!

Anne was going to have her prenup pictorial so she came to me and Tony for her hair and makeup :) She was trying to book me for her wedding but I was already booked :(
Anyway, I just love love LOVE the shape of her eyes. They remind me of Lucy Liu's! Hehehe... I was sooo tempted to do something dark and smokey for her eye makeup but she had a "vintage themed" shoot for her prenup. Something fresh is the best look for that. Specially for a very casual shoot.

On Rova, I created a look that is very fresh and soft. Something very feminine and one that would look fresh on camera. She has very strong features, and she has an incredible jawline which is a very good feature one could always WANT to possess.PHOTO CREDITS

This is Hanna, my other bride who has gorgeous morena skin. I love that her skin is golden in color and I am able to use my iridescent gold airbrush formula to make her skin look more plump and healthy!She was going to have her prenup pictorial as well today so I did a no-makeup makeup look on her as well. Just a fresh look as to not make her look so made up on a casual shoot.

My lovely bride MJ. Beautiful MJ with a very angelic face. I did MJ's makeup for her prenup pictorial today. I made everything simple and created a no-makeup makeup look, just enough color to make her look fresh for the pictorial.Tony straightened her hair for a casual look.

Bella is based abroad so we only have today to do her trial session. I love her deep-set eyes! She wanted smokey eyes for her wedding day look, but doing them in black or grey is out of the question for me. I really wanted to achieve that look that would best suit her skin color. This was the first time Bella tried airbrush makeup and she loved it!
