Kate Torralba

Sis and I haven't seen each other for a while so imagine our fun when we got together to do her makeup for the CATS premier...

Anyhoo, she was wearing a gown that had lots of details and a printed one, so we went for a very clean and fresh look. Don't you just love her skin? :)

Marnelli Quitane Trial Hair and Makeup




Beautiful Marnelli, my bride from Canada, had her trial hair and makeup with me in time for her prenup pictorial today. She is my August bride and we are excited to do her hair and makeup. She has nice long hair which is easy to up-style, and her lovely morena skin is easy to play up too!

Marnelli and her fiance are having their prenup pictorial in an old 50s diner so I did a fresh makeup look which is perfect for their theme. Fresh makeup was the thing back in the 50s.











For Marnelli's hair, Tony just did loose curls because she wanted something relaxed:

Myla Cho



My client Myla Cho will be a secondary sponsor in a wedding today in Tagaytay. She booked me a couple of months ago and we got a long instantly. She's a lovely girl (who looks so young I didn't know she was married with 2 kids!), with shoulder length hair. Myla wanted to do a "Diyosa" look for the wedding alongside her friends at the wedding (who all had long hair), so she bought extensions.


But first, let's talk about the makeup. Myla has never tried airbrush before so she opted for airbrush makeup. She fell in love with it instantly! I only brushed a single layer or airbrush on her since she had clear skin.

She wanted a fresh no-makeup makeup look but I suggested that we do a light smokey eye so that she won't look too "bride-y" and will go well with her hair. This was also the first time she did this makeup look too.

What I did was create a smokey dramatic eye for her, and still did the fresh look that she wanted. I didn't want to contour a whole lot to avoid making her look too bronze and tanned. She wanted to look fair.



For Myla's hair, she bought lots of extensions! She had shoulder length straightened hair (and thick too!) and this is what Tony created for her hair!

I was soooo jealous! Hehehe...

Chesa's First Trial Session



Chesa is getting married next Friday and she found an opportunity to have her first trial session with me. It was her grandma's birthday and they were going to an all-day affair celebrating it.

Instead of doing a full-blown wedding makeup look, I did her makeup more subtly just giving her enough color for a daytime event, but enough too to be not washed out at night.

Her fair clear skin was a big part of beautifully applied makeup. I didn't even have to spend so much time blending her airbrush makeup because her skin is well taken cared of.

This is not going to be her wedding day makeup look, we had this session just for her to get a feel of the makeup and how color looks on her face. She never wears any makeup so I didn't want to shock her with too much makeup! Hehehe... So come her wedding day, we will be doing a more defined makeup look.



As for Chesa's hair, Tony also didn't do her wedding up-do because she might look too made up during the day and for night. So he kept it more casual and yet classy. A hairstyle that looks like she did it herself:

Sarah Alon Trial Hair and Makeup


My beautiful bride Sarah had her trial hair and makeup today with me and Tony. This was the first time we met and I immediately fell in love with her :) She's so sweet and blessed with good skin! I just love her smile and her eyes are very easy to put makeup on. Just a little already gave a lot of character!

Sarah wanted a look that was fresh and natural. Something that doesn't look over made but has definition in pictures. After airbrush, I applied bronzer all over her face to give a little glow and a rose-colored blush to give a natural yet warmth on her cheeks. Perfect for her Tagaytay wedding. A little bit more than the usual blush on her cheeks is appropriate since it's cold in Tagaytay. Hence, the "rosey cheeks" look.

As for Sarah's hair, she wanted a loose look, nothing "banat" or a wet look, full of hairstyling products. Something soft and natural as well. So this is what Tony did:

Ashley Tamayo Prenup Pictorial Makeup

One of my closest friends (one of my best actually), Ashley, was going to have her prenup pictorial today so she came to me for makeup.


We decided on doing something fresh and natural for her prenup, and do our trial hair and makeup session on a different day so that we can really try the look she wants for her wedding in December.

Airbrush makeup was the only way to go for an outdoor shoot. Regardless of the shoot being in Tagaytay, I needed to secure her makeup to withstand rain, shine, and sweat.

Ashley had always had a gorgeous face. A little color goes a long way with her, specially her eyes. I just love playing them up and adding more lashes to her already full and lush natural set to give that extra UMPH!

KT's Summer Look


I have been doing Kate's makeup for a while and she always looks good in any eye shadow color! From black to nude, she always gives a radiant glow! I have always envied her beautiful clear skin. Even when she comes to me tired from the night before, her skin always maintained it's glow and suppleness. So, I airbrushed her skin with a light layer just to even out her skin tone.

Kate is judging a contest tonight in M Cafe and a gig after at Saguijo at 11. I wanted to make her look versatile. Something fresh for her judging stint, and something that last and withstand the harsh lights on stage her singing gig.


So instead of using the typical black, grey and mauve palette, I decided to use bronze colors on her. Sun kissed skin, warm dewy cheeks, and smokey eyes without the heaviness of it. I used NARS' eyeshadow duo in scorching sun.

At first I was having second thoughts on using this palette on Kate since she has fair skin and a yellow undertone. So I started with a light bronzer to check her skin's compatibility with golden undertones. It was amazing! Gold still looks good on her!


For her cheeks, I used Shu Uemura's Glow On blush. I combined 2 shades which are P76 which is a pearlized golden brown shade, and P94 which is an icy beige for highlighting the apples of her cheeks. For her cheekbones, I used Shu Uemura's P42, which is a light (almost white) pearl shell peach shade.

I kept Kate's lips nude and glossy for her judging stint, and I asked her to use a darker nude lip gloss for her gig ♥

Oooh!! I am luvin' her new hairstyle by the way!! So fresh and soooo Jennifer Aniston! ♥

Anne's Prenup Pictorial


Anne was going to have her prenup pictorial so she came to me and Tony for her hair and makeup :) She was trying to book me for her wedding but I was already booked :(


Anyway, I just love love LOVE the shape of her eyes. They remind me of Lucy Liu's! Hehehe... I was sooo tempted to do something dark and smokey for her eye makeup but she had a "vintage themed" shoot for her prenup. Something fresh is the best look for that. Specially for a very casual shoot.

Rova Trial Hair and Makeup

On Rova, I created a look that is very fresh and soft. Something very feminine and one that would look fresh on camera. She has very strong features, and she has an incredible jawline which is a very good feature one could always WANT to possess.

Hanna Alerta Trial Hair and Makeup

This is Hanna, my other bride who has gorgeous morena skin. I love that her skin is golden in color and I am able to use my iridescent gold airbrush formula to make her skin look more plump and healthy!


She was going to have her prenup pictorial as well today so I did a no-makeup makeup look on her as well. Just a fresh look as to not make her look so made up on a casual shoot.

Sheer Coverage




My sister was attending an exhibit opening and she wanted a natural look. I still wanted to give her a made up look though, not an every day-normal look. So I applied a slightly stronger cheek color and layered on the mascara. I also used a sheer tinted moisturizer just to even out the skin and I set it with a pressed powder. I love the fact that the her freckles still showed!

Jubee Trial Hair and Makeup

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.

Karla Fernandez Trial Hair and Makeup



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.

Alex Gutierrez

Don't be afraid to wear light makeup for night... Arrive looking fresh and natural!



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

Ruby Sy




Ruby contacted me this morning to have her hair and makeup done. She is attending her office red carpet party tonight at the Polo Club so she wants to look glam without looking too made up... Airbrush makeup is always the way to go! It's sheer enough to cover discolorations and lasts 10-12 hours!

She was scared about doing airbrush first because she might look too made up, but this is a common misconception with airbrush makeup. This is actually the best for looking the most natural!

Karylle's Prenup Pictorial Makeup



As soon as Karylle walked through my door, I already sensed that she was a shy girl. So I made her makeup fit her personality but added color. Safe enough for her to be comfortable with the makeup.

This was airbrush and she didn't need a whole lot of coverage as well because she had nice skin. After the hair and makeup, I could tell that she was comfortable with the makeup and that made me happy. Makeup shouldn't make anyone feel uncomfy.

Entourage

I did the makeup of the Alog family today for a wedding. The mom of the groom, the sister-in-law (Stacey), and the flower girl (Reese). They were all so very lovely and had nice skin so I didn't have to use a whole lot of makeup on them. Tita and Stacey opted for airbrush. Of course, baby girl Reese didn't need to be airbrushed so a hypo-allergenic, baby-friendly tinted moisturizer was all she needed for coverage.

Stacey just gave birth so she a little bit of dry spots around her face. Going for a dewy look was the way to go for her to make her skin look plump and moist.

I took some pics, but unfortunately I am not happy with the lighting when I took them. That's why I had to brighten up the picture the best way I can just so I can show you the makeup.
