Joey's Wedding

It was an early call time last Feb 27- 4am. Set up at Hotel Dominique, Tagaytay. We got there on time... even if it was hard to get up on 10 degrees environment :)

Anyway, here's the summary of Joey's look
Make Up- Light bridal day make up. This was the way the bride and groom like it, since too much make up makes her look mataray or snobbish. I softened her eye brows by using a brown eye brow corrector.
Hair- Joey changed her mind 1 week before the wedding. She opted for a loose bun which complimented her gown.



By the way,
No make up retouching was done for the whole event. Make up did last even after the reception :)

Silangan Gardens for Pre Nup Shoot

I had a chance to visit Silangan Gardens, Antipolo for for the first time for Rich and Jason's Pre nup shoot.

A breath taking place, fresh air, lush greens and art on every corner. I love the garden by the cliff with ponds filled with lotus and fishes, the torched line path leading to a bamboo cottage, the huge courtyard with a swimming pool where perhaps great gatherings must have been held.



I also love the Main House, Ilocano-Mexican theme filled with art collections and antique furnitures and fixtures. More than anything its the refreshed feeling is what i like about this place, a place where you can just sit, ponder and relax. Just letting time flies while getting inspiration from the works of arts around you.

I appreciate that places as such are now open to the public. With an Entrance fee is at P50.00/person a refreshing treat away from the usual noise on the city.

Day in Day out

Some tips and products to use every day

Start the day with the anti aging products that works on all visible signs of aging- I normally use DNAge line of Nivea and/or Olay Total Effects, Keihl's Abyssine line is also nice. I switch products after consuming the container( I think my skin gets immuned with the product after a while).

Enhance the benefits and add flawless finish by applying a light foundation that glides easily to your skin- try Shiseido or Paul and Joe liquid foundation. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is also recommended.

Brighten eyes, frame lips and banish all imperfections with MAC studio sculpt concealer. Check the shade that best fit your skin tone on their shelves.

Next, layer on smudge proof mascara for lush lashes (Maybelline volume express works).

Get an instant pop of color to your cheeks with a cream blush. Use it alone for that great dewy finish or add powder for the matte look.

The final step is to apply lipgloss with your favorite lip balm (try Lancome's Juicy tubes or MAC's Lipglass). Perfect balance of color and gloss in one.
