Joyce Jonson Trial Hair and Makeup
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.

Shopping Spree
Today after my shoot, I went on a shopping spree and bought 5 new shades of eye shadows from MAC. I was always scrambling around my makeup kit when I am at work looking for matte shades for brides and always failed. I would always substitue with something else so finally, in spite of my aching back, legs and feet from a whole afternoon of shooting, I went to Glorietta and bought myself a whole set of shades that I always wished I had!!
Thank goodness my sister was in my condo when I arrived so I tested my new products on her... yes, complete with foundation and false eyelashes!
I used 4 shades on her eyes, and the 5th shade was just plain black so I used it only on her lash lines.
I created a bridal look that was lightly heavy on the eyes. I just wanted to do this because brides are always afraid to use eyeliner, afraid that they might look "too made up" or "too dramatic". So, this is just to show women out there that eyeliner is always, always, always a best option. It looks best in pictures too.
Of course, the decision is always up to my brides because I want them to not only look their best on their big day, but to be comfortable with the makeup as much as possible.

Cristina Ferrer Trial Hair and Makeup
It was important that I shape Cristina's brows to frame the shape of her face beautifully. She doesn't have her brows done regularly so I had plenty to work with.
I would have done her brows darker to emphasize it in photos, but Cristina wanted to see how they would look without much product. It's lovely as well.
Even though Cristina had long lashes, I put falsies on her to make them thicker and fuller. It looks best in photos!

Tony curled Cristina's hair and pinned it up to show her the up-style. Cristina told Tony that she wanted curls and an up-do but doesn't want it to look too fixed. She used conditioner so the style wouldn't hold up for too long so Tony just gave her a short preview on the wedding look.

Trina Sunico Trial Hair and Makeup
Trina had her trial hair and makeup session with me today. She has beautiful fair skin but doesn't want to look to "pale" during her January wedding.
I advised her in getting a fake tan (tanning bed) about 2 weeks before the wedding just so that she'll have a little color on her wedding day.
Trina opted for airbrush makeup but I didn't do maximum coverage on her face. I wanted a little bit of her freckles to show. Trying to cover them fully will make her base look too thick and too unnatural.
Emphasis on her eyebrows to add color and dimension. She has nice thick dark brows so lightening them will soften her strong mestiza features.
Contouring wasn't an option for Trina because of her thin face. I emphasized on the apples of cheeks instead to give the illusion of fullness.
Her lips are thin so dark colors is out of the question. I opted for a delicate pink color and glossed with a high-shined finish.
Hairstylist Tony couldn't do much yet with her short hair so he just curled and pinned it to a half pony tail. I'm sure that by her wedding in January, she would have grown it already to a much more acceptable length for an up-style that she wants.
When Trina saw the hairstyle that Tony did for my other bride Zet, she wanted to try it:
Attached photo on the left is a photo of what Tony did during Zet's Trial session. A loose one-sided chignon which I think would look nice on Trina as well. Of course, the hair will be tweaked and different, but more or less the same sided chignon.

Michelle Lim Trial Makeup
Michelle is such a lovely girl! She has the height of a model! Hehehe... I actually had to tip toe to take her picture :) Anyway, Michelle wanted to go for the traditional makeup but I convinced her to try airbrush.
I wanted to give her that natural look for her wedding so that the makeup "shouting" and "straight forward". I wanted her to still look like her, and radiant without a whole lot of products.

Kit Gamboa Trial Makeup
My beautiful March bride Kit, had her trial makeup session with me today. I must say, I love her skin tone! Kit has fair skin and a cool tone which made the smokey eye look cool as well. It didn't look heavy at all.
Mocha blush and dark eyeshadow was the perfect look for her. Of course, she chose this look and it suits her!
I am doing airbrush makeup on her on her wedding day.
