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!

Melanie was going to be a secondary sponsor for a wedding today. I did a light smokey eye look on her which suited her so much! I love the look on her. I also love the color of her hair! Hehehe...

Nica just sent me these photos from her prenup (Photos by Jinky Sy):
Yes, those really are Nica's eyes. Hehehe... My Valentine's bride, and good friend Nica had her trial session/prenup today. I wanted to do a completely different look today from her wedding day (since she was going to be with her fiance), so I made her eyes a little bit dramatic... And for her wedding... Something FRESH!

You must be wondering what's up with her hair. Haha! Bea Misa set her long hair in curls so that when she removes them just before shooting, they will be intact and they have already set :) They are having their pictorial in Tagaytay... So best to set it for a while :)

When I met Kathleen, I found that her skin was absolutely gorgeous. I love the fact that she wanted to look like she had makeup on and not just like she was the one who put it on herself. I also love that she wanted a bit drama on her eyes. So, that we did :)

After I airbrushed her base, I wanted to give her face a little bit of warmth because she was so fair, but I found that the foundation I used was still a little bit too warm for her tone. Although, I think that she had more color, but we could have gone a little bit lighter so that she won't be too white in photos. I just love her skin.

I though a bit of bronzer on her cheeks should give her the contouring she needs and also a little bit of warmth as well. Of course, come her wedding day, we can always go a little bit lighter just the way Kathleen would want. That's why it is always important to have a trial session so we can always adjust to what each bride wants :)

Jubee and her fiance Kim were having her prenup pictorial today so we had to do her makeup at 6am. They are having an outdoor shoot so I did a no-makeup makeup look for her so that she won't look to made up in her photos.

She opted for airbrush makeup and this was her first time to try it. I think it is also best for her since she is acidic. Airbrush formulas now can adjust to any skin type and tone.

Tony just straightened her hair because looking natural in "nature" photos is always the way to go.

The multi-talented Kate Torralba came to me tonight to have her makeup done. She had somewhere special to go to tonight...

I have always loved Kate's skin and her eyes so I had plenty to work with! I could play up her eyes, her cheekbones, lips, EVERYTHING! I just love her! She's also my friend :)

I created a soft smokey-eye look on her. Instead of the common black or grey smokey eye, I used shades of brown and bronzes, contoured with a subtle black.


I airbrushed her base and her cheeks to guarantee long lasting wear for her night out! Love et!!

Joyce is my January bride. We finally had her hair and makeup (airbrush) trial today. As soon as I met her, I just fell in-love with the color of her eyes! She had light brown eyes which went perfectly with the coral/pink shadow I applied on her... I also used other shades of brown to complete the look.

Topped with glossy coral/apricot puckers... She looked fresh and radiant... Joyce even said that after our session she wanted to wear her gown already! Hahaha!

For the hair, this is what hairstylist Helen did:


Joyce wanted to leave her hair down because according to her she had a "big face"... which she didn't! She looked absolutely gorgeous!! What Helen did was give her volume at the top to give the illusion of height and to elongate her beautiful face.

I should have used a point and shoot camera for the shots so that the makeup will be brighter but anyway... For my sister Margs' Christmas look, I created a look that was bright cheeks, bare eyes (just full lashes) and pale lips. I also made her skin dewy but in my camera you can't really see... So I have to wait til her shots from her camera to post here.


This was my first attempt to do her hair since I got my curling iron a couple of weeks ago, and I must say... NOT BAD!! Hahaha! This is the look I have been trying to attempt in a long time! It's just too bad that I can't do this to myself!

Meet Karla, my January bride. She had beautiful fair skin so going peach/pink for her makeup was the way to go. We did her makeup in airbrush so that it will last the whole day during her prenup pictorial. I would have wanted her to wear falsies but she couldn't get used to them, but that's ok. Karla still looked great!

Tony set her hair in curls so that when it's time for the pictorial, Karla just had to remove all the hair pins off her head. She had a good 2 hours to set her hair before the pictorial so Tony did this trick.

It's also perfect for her outdoor look so that it won't be too stiff for the garden setup.

This was the first time my client Love tried airbrush and she loved it! She loves how light it feels on the skin, and I guaranteed her that it will last her the whole night. She is attending her friends' wedding today and my only available time was at 2pm. When Tony and I were finished with her hair and makeup, she had about 2 and a half hours to kill before the wedding. I assured her that this will give enough time for the makeup to set even more and make it even more natural looking.

I love Love's lips. She had perfect cupid's bow shaped top lips and playing them up with lip gloss was the way to go!

This is what Tony did for her hair. Love provided the hairband:

Alex came to me today to have her hair and makeup done... She told me that she was wearing a beige dress with a few black details on her dress. I wanted to give her a very natural and fresh look for evening. Something light so that her makeup will look refreshing to the eyes, instead of the typical smokey look for night or the heavily lined eyes. I airbrushed her base and her blush for lasting wear, and set it with a single layer of setting powder.

I defined her eyebrows to match her beautifully colored hair by Henri Calayag. For her hair... She has extremely curly hair and she's got lots and lots of it... As Tony said, her hair is like for 4 people already! Hahaha! So what Tony did was blow dry her hair and straighten with a flat iron which brought out her beautiful cut and color.

I wish I adjusted the setting of my camera a bit more so the makeup will be seen... Anyway... next time! ;P
