Bridal Makeup for Katrina Rojas

Aug 9

Posted by grace, md in Wedding Day | No Comments

Katrina works as a nurse. She was very picky in choosing her wedding suppliers. In fact, she had a makeup trial with me twice because she wanted everything to be perfect on her wedding day. After several trial sessions with different makeup artists, she came back to me and on the second session, she finally decided to book me.

These are pictures from my camera. I only did the bride’s makeup so I had lots of time to take pictures afterwards. Thanks to the official photographer, Roger Lactao for allowing me and my hubby to take snapshots while his team directed the poses.

Watch their video by MVP here.

Wedding: Carrot and Hadj

Jul 14

Posted by grace, md in Wedding Day | No Comments

Carrot’s cousin, Audrey (who was a former client), booked the bride as early as December 2009. Carrot is presently based in Manila, working as the marketing manager for La Mer and Bobbi Brown Philippines. Sticking with the Bobbi Brown principles of makeup, I had to keep her look natural yet glowing.

Carrot got married to Hadj, who hails from Pangasinan. Their love story which evolved from friendship was sealed with matrimonial vows last June 26, 2010 at the San Lorenzo Parish in Gusa, Cagayan de Oro. Bridal preparations were done at the Mallberry Suites, while the Urban- themed reception was held at Dynasty Court Hotel Grand Ballroom. Flower Matters, the event stylist for this occasion, magically transformed the ballroom into a chic city.

The funky photographer, Bon Aserios, magnificently captured their precious moments, as shown below.

Jun 14

Posted by grace, md in Wedding Day | No Comments

After the release of their breath-taking prenuptial photos, Nikka and Jeremy shine anew in these photos during their wedding day. None other than master lensman Dustein Sibug captured the special moments, making their day a whole lot more memorable.

Donned in a Benjie Manuel Gown, Nikka knows how to work her way through the camera. Every angle, every pose, speaks the language of a radiant bride. Thanks to her for trusting me completely on her bridal makeup. Hair was done by Jeanette of Vida Salon.

The wedding was held at Mount Carmel Church in Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City. Reception followed at the Xavier Estates Sports and Country Club, with the lavish event styling of Flower Matters.

Aikaye's Nautical Escapade

Jun 5

Posted by grace, md in Pre-Debut | No Comments

Aikaye Bollozos prepared for her debut in just one week. A student at ADMU, she came home to Cagayan de Oro on a Monday and celebrated her 18th birthday on Saturday of the same week. The pre-debut pictorials took place 2 days before the nautical-themed party. She was initially going for a simple gathering with family and friends, but her parents insisted on a party for their charming daughter.

Riding a speedboat, they sailed from Opol to Agutayan Island in Jasaan during this pre-debut shoot. Aikaye requested for a natural makeup. Nothing too girly or tacky, just pretty enough for her real self to shine through.

Nikka & Jeremy's Engagement Spread

May 6

Posted by grace, md in Prenuptial | 1 Comment

Nikka Mahinay was one of my models in a shoot right after my makeup schooling in Manila. It was a privilege to have been asked by her to do the makeup on her prenuptial shoot and wedding day. She will be married to Jeremy Kho, who is based in Davao.

The model-worthy features of Nikka made it easy for me to prettify her. Together with her groom-to-be Jeremy, they exuded fun yet romantic aura, beautifully captured by photographer Dustein Sibug. These pics are typical of those which could land in fashion spreads of magazines.

Debut: Camille Montesines

Mar 28

Posted by grace, md in Debut | No Comments

A fresh, natural look for Camille Montesines aka Maja Salvador/Bea Alonzo. It was a simple, non-overpowering makeup, as requested by this pretty lass during her 18th birthday. I did her hair using the Philips Multistylist, based on a peg of Marian Rivera in Preview Magazine. The posh celebration was held at Marco Hotel in Cugman, Cagayan de Oro.
