The Makeup Trials: Painting it Red

Dang, who knew that somehow, you really do get what you pay for?


Well, I was hoping to cut a few corners budget-wise with regards to makeup. Will be paying for the entourage's makeup din kasi. Tamang tama, bobo pa ako pagdating sa makeup. So, I went on two trial makeups. Below, a recap:

  1. TRIAL 1: Wasn't really used to seeing myself made up, so it felt kinda weird. So I didn't like it much at first. But on hindsight, mas ok pa pala sya kay sa dun sa isa.
    • pros: imported products. covered up my zits really well. parang walang zits. works with a hairdresser, so it might be easier to make up the entire entourage.
    • cons: thought it was too heavy at first. pero on hindsight, hindi pala.
    • verdict: still waiting for photos from JB and Manny (phino-photo-shop pa nila. hmm. katakot naman =)



  2. TRIAL 2: Well, maganda sya mag-ayos ng buhok, although at first na-shock ako kasi nakataas yung ends ng buhok ko. "Starstruck" daw sabi nya. Well, ok naman, kaso ang pink ko talaga. Medyo pangit tuloy sa photographs, unless sobrang lakas ng ilaw.
    • pros: fast worker. madali kausap. magaling mag-ayos ng buhok. affordable rates.
    • cons: makeup too pink. didn't cover up zits too much. and hmm, iba nga ata kulay ng leeg ko sa mukha ko. makeup too pink.
    • verdict: makeup too pink.
Up next: Some photos from the shoot/s.

To be continued: Still haven't made up my mind regarding the makeup. Actually, I'm leaning towards this other person, but I haven't tried her yet, and sa totoo lang, medyo tamad na ako mag trial makeup. Not to mention, mahal pa. Nakita ko na naman yung work nya on another bride, and ok, mukhang natural. Sabi nga ni Tenantz, baka raw kelangan ko talaga sabihin sa makeup artist na, uy, gusto ko natural ang dating. Hmmm. So in the end, I think mapapamahal din ako. Say goodbye to my vintage Mercedez car. Hay. The saga of the makeup artist lives on...

Postscript: I just talked to another one of my married friends. May pag-asa pa ulit ang 5000-peso all-in-with-entourage na makeup. Hmm. sigh.

No other way to describe it. No other way to concretize the concept. It is faith...faith that we are doing the right thing, faith that this is the right path for us. A leap of faith. Jump with us.
