And here are some snapshots I took right after we did Clauds’ hair and makeup. Clauds’ hair was styled by one of my faves, George Aliben. Thanks so much, George, for the vavavoom hair!!! I also chose to use my Huda Beauty Nude Eyeshadow Palette on Clauds’ eyes plus lashes from Bohktoh to bring out her beautiful eyes even more.
One of the highlights and best moments of my 2020 so far. Last January 3, 2020, two of my “kids” from our Church Choir got married. I still couldn’t believe how much they’ve grown. I met Alexa and Javier when they were about Damien’s age, around 11-12 years old. They have always remained to be such responsible, wonderful and talented human beings with the kindest of hearts. I would see them every Saturday for our 6pm Masses and it’s really something I look forward to. Something I miss so much during this lockdown.
Every time I am given the chance to be a part of someone’s big day, I get way too excited. But even more when the couple are my friends from way back. So when Alexa and Javier messaged me to do Alexa’s hair and makeup for their wedding, I blocked the date right away. Of course, even if I wasn’t the makeup artist, I would still block the date. HAHAHAHA!!! Coz I wouldn’t miss this day.
Sharing with you some beautiful snapshots from their wedding. Look at me, so happy to get started with Alexa’s makeup. Haha! These photos were captured by the talented, Gary Aguilon. Love the photos!
Today I’m thankful for the pleasure of doing my friend’s family’s makeup for their dear brother’s wedding 😀 To Tita Nena, Tita Carrie, Lala and Vic, thank you from the bottom of my smokey heart! Wishing Vic and Miggy a lifetime of love and laughter 😀🙏 And thank you, Lala, for the delicious pork buns from Tim Ho Wan ❤️ You all look so beautiful as always 😍

Last September 8, 2014 was the wedding of one of my favorite and sweetest clients, Isha 🙂 I first met her when I did her makeup for her prom. Such a smart and beautiful lady, this one. Then I’d see her one prom after another. Haha! Such a heartthrob! Then it was her grad ball then debut 🙂 I remember I was almost about to give birth during her debut but I really didn’t want to miss that day.
I was so happy and excited when I found out she was engaged and that she wanted me to save the date to be her makeup artist for the wedding! I was too excited. Isha is like a younger sister to me. And on this wonderful Monday morning in September, I was at her house, reunited with the kindest family, the De Vera’s 🙂
I was also so excited to see my handmade crocheted dolls in Liza’s room! 🙂 Liza is Isha’s beautiful mom who adopted two of my Googlees. Awwww, thanks so much, Liza 🙂 They’re so lucky to be in such a beautiful home 🙂
What a stunning bouquet with this very special locket.
Check out the details of Isha’s gorgeous gown by the very talented, Kristel Yulo 🙂 She’s also designing my future sister-in-law’s gown. Can’t wait!
Love the color of these Kate Spade shoes 🙂
Here’s our bride, Isha 🙂 Makeup done. Thank you so much to RJ Dela Cruz for doing Isha’s hair 🙂 Thanks for assisting also, Mike! I love working with you guys! 🙂
Smile, Isha 🙂

Thank you so much, Isha, for making me part of every important event in your life 🙂 You and your mom have always been so kind to me and every time I see you both, it’s like nothing has changed! Cheers to this new and exciting journey called marriage. I look forward to seeing you and your mom again 🙂 See you soon, Isha! 🙂
View from the hotel room 🙂 Wonderful morning indeed!
It was an early start for hair and makeup last September 6, 2014 🙂 I really don’t mind waking up in the wee hours of the morning. It’s so peaceful knowing almost everyone is still asleep 🙂
Our wedding preps were in Manila Hotel, one of my favorite hotels, and the bride was one of my favorite preschool teachers at my son’s previous school, Teacher Kit 🙂
Teacher Kit was my son’s very first teacher. Damien Crow was about two years old and he couldn’t speak yet. So there was a time when he would bite his other classmates when he would get frustrated. This was our biggest issue at that time. Haha! Thank you for your patience, Teacher Kit! 🙂
Beautiful bouquet… Love the color.
Almost done with makeup 🙂 Photographed by Nice Print 🙂
Teacher Kit and the morning sun 🙂
Teacher Kit’s pretty sister and Maid of Honor 🙂
Beautiful Mother of the Bride 🙂

You all look fabulous, Teacher Rina, Teacher Nat and Teacher Dez!!!
Special thanks to the team, RJ, celebrity hairstylist, and Patricia, assistant makeup artist 🙂
Til we meet again, Teacher Kit! 🙂 Thank you for making me part of your big day and also a million thanks for being an important part of my son’s preschool years! 🙂

Her name is Ria 🙂
Wedding preps were in Makati Shangrila Hotel 🙂
My portable studio already set-up. Thank you so much for assisting me that day, Ham 🙂 I think that’s your hand seen in the mirror. Haha! My NTL airbrush machine is ready as well as my favorite palettes and loose powders from Shu Uemura.
Here is the bride, Ria 🙂 Such an elegant beauty. Makeup is done. Ria just wanted something very fresh and natural for her wedding 🙂 I used neutral colors on the eyes with a thin liner on the top lids. I also chose a light shade of pink for her lips
Thank you so much, Miss Helen, from L’oreal Professionel for doing Ria’s hair. She wanted a loose, low side bun 🙂
Almost ready to change into her beautiful gown.
Ria was a stunning bride, indeed 🙂
Thanks again for trusting me to do your makeup on your wedding day, dear Ria 🙂
You looked so radiant that day! Wishing you and Philip all the best! 🙂
