Hello everyone! Another bridal makeup look that I did on my former officemate,Sheila. I was thrilled when she asked me to do her makeup. To me, she looks like the princess in the Disney Movie "Brave" with her naturally curly hair. I asked her if she has a beauty or peg/look in mind but she only sent pictures of hairstyles. haha Anyways, did you know that we never had any trial makeup before this. Honestly, I was quite worried with this fact because for me, bridal makeup should be perfect if not close to that! Aghhh! So when her big day came, I already had a look in mind perfect for her. I wanted to keep everything fresh and young and glowing. I mainly used pinks and peaches on her. I have been obsessing with peach and pink eyeshadows for months now. I know the photos below do not justify the colors I chose for her because I took this photo before my blinding lighted mirror. You can refer to my first photo to see how bright the lights on my mirror look.
Here is Sheila's Before and After Look:
For foundation, I used temptu S/B foundation which stayed put after half a day. It did not budge at all despite the fact that she cried (out of sheer joy of course!). To set her makeup, I used Ben Nye's Banana Luxury Powder (Bakit ba hindi umeffect ang powder na ito sa akin). For eyeshadow, I used Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. For blush, I also used Temptu's blush and added a bit of Mac Melba blush. The Eye of Horus and Maybelline Gel Liner stayed put throughout the ceremony and reception. For her brows, I wanted it to look more defined but natural so I made sure I brushed it with a spoolie to achieve that natural thickness. I used Maybelline's Brow Mascara in Yellow Brown to lighten her brows because the In2it brow kit and Essence Pencil in Brown looked too sharp and harsh on her.
What do you think?

I got an interesting question today. I was asked by an anonymous reader:
Hi!I was wondering if you could post about changing careers into a make-up artist? Are you still a lawyer? And all that?
Nagising ako sa tanong mo girl/boy! hehe I never actually changed careers. It's just that I pursued my passion and make it legit once and for all. Like attaining that atty. before my name. I really wanted that three letter word "PRO" before I get serious on my mua sideline. To answer your question, I am a lawyer and also a professional makeup artist. Kaloka? I know!! But I both love my profession and sideline. hehe I do not usually talk about my work here in my blog since I wanted that part of my life - well.. uhmm.. private for professional and ethical reasons. I know all of you are curious on what field of law I am practicing. Believe it or not, I am a litigator. It refers to a lawyer who appear in courts and handles either or both criminal or civil cases. Yes.. Imagine me firmly uttering these words "objection your Honor!" with pink lips!! #chos My profession and beauty blogging is seriously a world of difference so I try so much not to mingle both worlds together. For a change, here is a picture of me after my hearing in my Baguio. The perks of my work right now are - I get to travel a lot and I am learning to be more independent.
As for being a professional makeup artist, I do it on weekends or whenever my schedule permits. Curacha ang itawag niyo sa akin! haha Literal na walang pahinga at times but I truly love what I am doing. Fiance even told me that whenever I do makeup for somebody else I look so happy talaga notwithstanding the fact that I get so tired standing for hourssss just to make sure that they are satisfied with my work. Nuff of this.. Let me share with you today's bride.
Meet CJ, my bride for today! CJ has very gorgeous skin. Her skin look poreless (I kid you not) and since I am suffering from rashes right now. I could literally scream at her "INGGIT AKO!!" :P Cj has hooded eyes so I made sure I applied a thick black line on her upper lid to open up her eyes and added falsies. Actually her lashes are longer than the false eyelashes I placed on her. For her eyes, I used Inglot Eyeshadow in 116 and Naked Basics Palette. She told me she wanted a natural makeup look so it took me a lot of time blending her eye makeup to ensure it does not look too smokey. To make her eyes look bigger, I applied Pixi's Eye brightener on her lower water line and smudged a brown liner on her lower lashline. I used Eye of Horus Obsidian Brown. After priming her face with Benefit Porefessional Primer I applied a very very thin layer of Estee Lauder Double Wear just to slightly even out her skintone and concealer. Then, I applied airbrush makeup. I used Temptu S/B foundation mixing No. 4 and No. 5 shades. For her lips I mixed Pixy's Autumn Apricot with Shiseido Rouge Lipstick in RD320.
