David Archuleta in Manila

When I got a call to do his grooming 2 weeks ago I nearly dropped the phone. I was like...is this for real? hehhe. I refuse to believe it until yesterday when it actually happened. Let me recount everything for everyone on how everything went.

1. I was at the Pen exactly 930 AM
2. We went up to the room wherein the interviews/presscon is going to be held.
3. I met David's handlers and we were given instructions.
4. Myx crew arrived and did their set up.
5. Kris and I also prepared our things and took a reallllly deeeeep breath.
6. At exactly 10:15 I met David and we proceeded to do the grooming.
7. He was really charming and everything and we got to talk and all.
8. He said he wanted very minimal makeup. His skin is very smooth and so I just did a quick airbrush makeup for him. He was saying "Oh this is so cool, it feels cold" while smiling.
9. He asked me what music I was listening to and I answered Bruno Mars. He said that he also love love Bruno Mars' music.
10. He asked me if I know Adele's music. I said yes and told him I love "Chasing Pavements". He said he loves Adele also and i should check out Adele's new song which was already uploaded in youtube.
11. He complimented my necklace.."That's a nice owl"...hehhe
12. After that muntik na ako himatayin..jusko...heh
13. Then it's a long slew of interviews for him.
14. Myx was first, then Ricky Lo, Raymond Gutierrez, Tim Yap, ruffa gutierrez, grace lee, chico, then publications and print, then some lucky fans.
15. In between we did touch ups and he was really having a good time all throughout.
16. After wrapping up the interviews he shook my hand and said thank you and see you later.
17. We then proceeded to Sm North and secured our spots and watched the show.
18. We dropped by one last time to see David and we had our picture taken and he kept saying thanks and we kept saying thanks and we just all laughed at the end.

It was really nice meeting you David and thank you for being such a nice person in spite of being a really big celebrity.

Meanwhile here are some pictures my hairstylist and I managed to take :) Enjoy!

The RED DOOR Makeup Studio

I love everything vintage! It is just fascinating to go back in time and see how people have lived their lives then. Hence the reason why I chose to do a very "vintage" theme for my makeup studio. I have a quirky personality and though I love doing natural looks (which is by far the safest look ever!) I have a personality that is fun loving, colorful and yess youthful! Lol!

I love to make my clients laugh and feel at ease. Siguro that is one of the reasons they keep coming back :) So without much further ado...here are some photos of my makeup studio :

My friend/hairstylist/image stylist/carpenter Kris, me and my hubby did everything...super labor of love talaga :) I wanted it to be very personal and so I invite you to come and visit if you can :)

But of course due to my kinda harrid schedule I only accept bookings by appointment only

Proms

My prom as it is is forgettable. I would not forget the horrendous makeup I got from our local parlorista! I do not even dare to look at past photos of me. That is why I made sure to classic looks when I did the makeup of these 3 gorgeous ladies for their prom last Sat.

My makeup style for these kind of events are always simple and classy...less is always more :)

Please understand that we in production, are doing all that we can to be able to deliver a productive output. Your suggestions and inputs are truly appreciated. But for the love of God, DON'T PUSH IT!!! Don't be such a baby and be the cause of delay. The more you make "senseless" comments...the more you dig a deeper sh*t hole for yourself and with that you are pulling US down also.

Be PROFESSIONAL!!! It makes a whole lotta difference y' know?!


Thanks!

Thanks dear for being so nice and cooperative. Glad you liked it :D

Muziklaban

Last Saturday after a wedding gig at Manila Hotel my hairstylist and I hauled our asses off to Metrowalk for the Muziklaban event in which I will be doing the makeup for one of the hosts' Ms. Quennie Smith. Quennie is a very good friend and I was only too eager to do her makeup for this event. We then proceeded to Linden suites having decided to do her makeup there instead.

Here is the look that I did for her:

I made it a bit sparkly on the lids...was not able to take a proper foto though since we were all star struck because....

Yeah, no other that Mr Pepe Smith! Quennie is his daughter and we got to meet him. Starstruck much. He is an icon of Philippine Rock! It was so surreal! In all fairness, he is too cool for words.

Queenie gave us VIP passes and we got to hang out for a bit and decided to call it a night at around 11pm. I was dead tired at that time because I was working since 8am and though it was all fun...physically I was dead tired already. But it was fun as always :D
