Fresh Makeup

I usually advice my bridal clients that I used Airbrush Makeup for weddings because of the benefits it can give to both parties. Well in a nutshell.. Airbrush makeup is a fine mist of foundation sprayed with a small compressor gently covering the skin to give the appearance of a flawless complexion.

Airbrush makeup can covers and last all day long. It is water resistant and will not smudge with light retouching. It can be applied to anyone even men. Its also hypoallergenic, sanitary and easy to use.

It’s another makeover day! I’ve done a lovely bride last July 16, Sunday. And i really enjoy being part of that exciting event.

I did trial hair and makeup on her several weeks ago before the wedding. The makeup I’ve done for a trial is darker as compared to the day of her wedding. On her wedding day she opted for a lighter version of the makeup.

Trial Makeup

I started off preparing her skin for makeup by moisturizing dry areas around her skin and oil control primer at her T-zone. I also spot conceal redness that airbrush makeup may not cover. Then I used Occ and kett airbrush foundation going layer by layer to make sure her foundation is even.

I usually do contouring at the latter part of the makeover but for Airbrush, it comes next before the foundation application. When it comes to contouring using airbrush, layering is the key. It is very crucial not to apply too much as it is difficult to correct mishaps when you use airbrush makeup. I also contoured her nose using airbrush and included her chin are to create a slimmer silhouette.

I’ve decide to pick peachy pink eye shadow created an illusion of deeper set of eyes, of course, with the help of an eyeliner. Lashes were also used it will always look perfect on photos!

I airbrush a simple cool toned pink blush on the apples of her cheeks and matched her lip color.

Hello Beautiful!

I am so excited to share another Graduation Makeover post, I am very thankful that I still get clients even if I was a newbie in makeup industry.

I got a text message from my former student who’s currently graduating today, she asked me to do her hair and makeup on her super early Commencement Exercise at PICC ! Who am I to say no? She has been very supportive of my makeup artistry and I can clearly remember the times I practice my makeup skills on her during my St. Anthony Days (school where I practice my teaching profession)

It has been few years after so I’m really excited to prettify her again!

Chai Apura, the graduating student from Colegio de San Juan de Letran. She looks bubbly, friendly and easy-going. When I asked her for a makeup “peg”, she requested for a doll fresh makeup look and Loose beach waves for hairstyle, I immediately agreed that the hair and makeup she chose would look great on her!

Before and After

With an “already gorgeous smile”, I went ahead and primed Chai’s face using Nurturing Force Blot Out Shine + Oil Control Cream. With cream foundation shade 2 shades lighter from RCMA, I applied it all over face concentrating more on the under eye area, the cheeks and forehead. I also counteract a bit of her under eye darkness with Graftobian DermaWheel Concealer.

Since Chai already have full and nice brows, I just tinted it a bit with a light brow powder and dark brown brow gel as believe it or not, she had her hair colored and it has a shade of ash brown in person! I heavily primed her eyes with my favorite NYX HD eye primer as I know this girl have very oily lids! I whipped out my Naked 2 Palette and In2It eye shadows using various shades of booty call, tease, half-baked and a bit of warm brown. Of course, to finish off the lovely eye makeup, I applied eyeliner close to her upper lash line and apply coats of mascara!

Using Graftobian HD blush pallete in peachy pink and REVLON Colorstay in Soft Hint Pink, I made sure to apply it underneath the blush to prevent her blush from fading during the event. For her lips, I used with my ever trusted combo of NYX lip liner in Natural and OCC lip tar in Memento
