Larissa Ide and Guido Adorno

I was invited by Shutter Click Photography Club to be their guest make up artist for a photoshoot with 2 Brazilian models, Larissa Ide (sister of actor Fabio Ide) and Guido Adorno, both from Mercator. The shoot was held at an old house/bar in Quezon City. I was asked to do a simple and day make up to both models. Here are some photos from some of the photographers who participated in the shoot including Mr. Bong Tindugan and Mr Emil Buencamino.

Sporty E-session with Sam and Eva

This year, I was blessed to be part of E-session (Engagement Session) aka Pre-nup pictorial of a couple clients. One of them is a good friend of mine, who happens to be one of my photographers before, Ate Eva. Honestly, it's not easy to do make up for friends because I know what they expect from me. But I'm so happy with my E-session make up with Ate Eva because it's not only her who appreciatted my work. Her husband-to-be, Sam, commended my work. I heard him said to Ate Eva "I like your make up. Ganyan din ba make up mo sa wedding?". I was so happy when I heard that coz I know how important that the groom-to-be like my work. So here are some of their pictures taken by photographer Man Fai Hui with Emer Galacio and JayR Eugenio.

Cut Throat Pictorial

Here's a photoshoot held at the studio of Mr Ed Padama. It was a teaser for his upcoming openshoot. Originally it was inspired by America's Next Top Model Bitch Fight shoot but they just changed it to "Cut Throat". I was instructed to come up with a strong eye make up. I was so priviledge that some of my shoot was included in Mr Padama's coffee table book for photographers.

My Brides

When I decided to become a make up artist, I told my self that I will enter the world of weddings (not me as always the bride, but the MUA - make up artist). Bridal make up may look simple and very natural, but for make up artists, its one of the most difficult look to make. Why, because it's more technical and more precise. A bride should be the "MOST" beautiful on her wedding day. So here are some pictures of the brides of Make Up by XY.

Project Make up: Gothic

After months of not being able to do make up for photoshoots... I was invited by Jake Ryan (from Model Mayhem) to be their make up artist for one of their shoots. He was actually inviting me since last year but because of me being a super sensitive pregnant mommy, i turned him down (i think I said "no" to him twice). But since I'm back in the make up world and is ready to do shoots again, I accepted his invitation. When we we're texting as to what concept I wanted to do, he just said he wants something Avant Garde, I immediately answered him "Let's do Bridal Goth" However, due to limited props, especially the black wedding gown, we end up doing a gothic look instead. So without saying more... i present to you my work... XOXO
