Last month, March, was the most busy month for me. Why? Because two little girls hired me to be on call, and do their makeup for their parties, and graduation! Hahaha!

Sarabeth was about to graduate high school, and this March, she was having twice-a-week birthday parties and debuts. I was actually wondering how come alot of her classmates were celebrating their 18th birthday parties this March, and well, that includes Sarabeth. Sarabeth just told me that it seems that most girls in her class were March babies! I did her makeup for every party, but maybe the most memorable one that I’d share with you, aside from her 18th birthday party makeup, was her makeup for the Graduation Ball.

For her Graduation Ball, I did some grown-up smoky eyed makeup on her. I figured that she already had enough of fresh, cute makeup looks, I wanted to experiment on some a little bit grown up makeup on her. I did makeup for her, and her friend Paulene. The picture above is Sarabeth’s Grad Ball getup. She’s wearing a Coexist dress, which is mine, by the way, but since I kept it inside my closet and never got around to wearing it, she came first because she crammed me for an outfit three days before the ball! Haha! I am totally liking her pink heels from Call It Spring!

They say we look alike.

and that, is probably why I am so hands-on with her with her prom preparations, it’s like me going to the prom over and over again! Last year was quite an experience for us ( I describe it as exciting, exhilarating, and refreshing ), and as this is Sarabeth’s last year in High School, and she is attending the Junior-Senior Prom again, hello??? Sister Sophie is on top of all things!

Here’s Sarabeth bare-faced, squeaky clean of anything. Sigh, I miss that kind of youth wherein you can just wear your face like that, look really cute, and just be happy! Well, what’s my idea for her look?

Anything but ordinary. Reason? Because it’s what she is. Extraordinary. I am in fact so proud of her that she has self-studied herself into excellence maintaining good grades, and being on the swim team. I sometimes feel so bad for her that she stays late at night to finish alot of homework, and studies really hard for exams, and takes her studies seriously. She’s also a super-friend who is always smiling, always positive, and has the corniest jokes *kidding, Sugar!* Continue reading

Nikki Guevara is a stage actress, a singer, a TV personality, and just finished taking up makeup lessons in the Make Up For Ever Academy here, so just imagine the pressure on my shoulders when I was asked to do her makeup for this photoshoot. Oh yes, my shoulders were sore for an entire week after. Hahaha!

Kidding aside, Nikki was so much fun to talk to, as she was friendly, and we had our love for makeup as our common ground. She even brought with her a traincase full of droolworthy makeup ( at least she was more organized than I am! ) , and a Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, that I really really love as well! As I was chatting with her, I kept on sensing that she looked familiar, until out of the blue, I just asked, “are you related to Carla Guevara?” She said, “Yes, she’s my sister!” No wonder, they looked so much alike ! I remember applauding over Carla Guevara-Laforteza’s performance in Avenue Q, and looks like Nikki is also going to steal the stage just like that soon! Continue reading

Last Sunday, I was invited by friends, and my beau for a fun photoshoot. M, knowing that I miss doing makeup, was very supportive, as I was very supportive of him as he has been too busy with work that he has neglected his hobby, which is photography.

R presented me with three beautiful models, that I was happy to stare down, and fantasize about. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m all wholesome! Hahaha! Makeup artists fantasize on what looks they can come up with on their subjects for that very gratifying finished product – work captured in photos.

Christine Riley was a breath of fresh air. She had great skin to begin with, and a great smile, as well! She’s very young, but I was amazed with the makeup collection that she brought for the photoshoot – a collection of MAC makeup brushes, and a wide variety of professional and high end makeup brands! Well, girls really start early! Christine is quite a makeup and makeup brush collector, that I had the honor of using her tools, and products for the shoot.

JP and Fran happen to be one of my favorite couples in the whole wide world! I’ve seen them meet each other for the first time, and I’ve been one of those who teased and teased them ( separately! ) and I have seen their relationship blossom from friendship to something that’s worth a lifetime of commitment. As these two lovebirds are tying the knot soon, I wish them all the best!

Franny came to me during my lunchbreak to have her makeup done for the pre-nuptial photoshoot. She wanted it light, and natural looking, so I used something new in my makeup kit , makeup from the Revlon Photoready line.

Girls and boys, I’d like to share to you my small achievement – the photo above is showcased in a billboard in c5, and I’m part of the makeup team!

My story?

A few weeks ago, I was tasked to do the makeup of some of the endorsers of the very nationalistic Adidas Philippine Range. I simply adore the new designs of the Adidas Philippine Range, you really have to check them out, while they’re still available!

Included in Adidas‘ roster of endorsers are professional basketball players, coaches, famous DJs at our local radio stations, musicians, TV personalities, and even movie stars! Adidas also has very attractive employees who are included in the photoshoot. I divided this special into two parts- one for the boys, and one for the girls.
