Milay the Bride

Bridal makeup for the wedding of Dr. Remevicmaria Quiblat to Dr. Glenn Hudieres. The event was held in Camiguin. I normally don’t do out-of town engagements but since the couple are good friends of my husband, I had to make an exception. They billeted us at Bahay Bakasyunan, making it a gig and a vacation at the same time for me.

I did the makeup of the bride and maid of honor only. The hair was taken care by the bride’s regular hairstylist from Camiguin.

Aveline and her Entourage

I get the usual thank you’s from my clients after I do their makeup. Most of them couldn’t stop thanking their photographers or coordinators in public, but the makeup artist is almost always forgotten after the event. Only a few  go the extra mile by posting on facebook their feedback on the people who prettified them.

Aveline is one of those brides who gave me an unexpected pat in the back with her kind (not to mention humorous) words: “hi doc grace! thank you for making me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. you’re the nxt person to thank after my husband:) im so glad i had u, u did an awesome job! everyone is happy and ill be forever grateful to you:)

To Aveline, thank you for one of the best compliments I’ve received as a makeup artist. You and your entourage were already beautiful to begin with. My job was just to make it more obvious. :) I’m glad that you liked our output. May you have a blessed married life with your  husband and wonderful kids!

Bridal Makeup for Katrina Rojas

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.
