What types of make-up do you use in your kits? What foundation do you use?
Every cosmetic brand has great product. I carry many types of brands in my makeup kit. We do have some favorite brands and products but we do not stick to just one brand. All products are thoroughly tested and put to the test to determine whether it does what it claims. I also take a lot of time and effort to test durability and longevity. A few brands I carry in my kits are Joe blasco from hollywood, Smashbox, MAC, bed head, bobbi brown, L'Oreal, Maybelline and many other brands.
Foundation
Traditional / Regular make-up: Joe Blasco, bedhead or MAC
Airbrush Make-up: Dinair and O2
Why do you require a deposit?
P5,000 non-refundable deposit is required for any services to secure our agreement. Once you agree with the services, everything is outlined in the contract. Payment can be paid by Cash or thru my bank account. Once the contract has been signed and your deposit has been successfully approved, you can assure that your event date will now be permanently booked. Balance should be paid before going to church or before leaving the hotel/house.
Why do you suggest Trials for weddings?
Time management is very imperative in such cases like weddings. This is when a Trial is important because the Artist needs to know how your skin reacts to the various products we carry in our kits.
It's also good to try/test some of the products on your skin to ensure that the products being used will not be irritating or sensitive to your skin. Sometimes our best product may not be suitable to you so we will need to find an alternative. We also want to assure our client has achieve the desired look for the event. I do my trial make-up at EMPHASIS salon located in rockwell makati. salon charge is P2,500.
What happens if I don't choose to have a trial?
Sometimes it can be complicated replicating a makeup from picture because everyone has different skin tones and structures. The look may not be as complimentary as it is in the picture. Sometimes we end up spending more time trying to figure out the right look ( hence why a trial takes approx. 1.5-2 hours - day of wedding it only takes approx. 45 mins) and at the end the client may not be satified.
