Dashing Bride - Joanne

It is another busy Tuesday for me. Our family is busy preparing for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of our publication's local weekly newspaper, AsianStar Express Balita.

I am very proud and happy to announce that Makeup and My World will also be published there starting from this week's issue. It will most likely have a similar content from what I post here in my blog too, it's just that it will be published and distributed locally. I'm definitely sharing more of that story on a different post.

Today's post though is another makeup makeover that I did. If you follow me on Instagram, you've most likely seen photos from this event already. :)

Meet my dashing bride, Joanne. She requested for a natural makeup look and willfully permitted. :)

My Favorite Muse - Shine

How's the first day of the week coming along for you? Mine's super pumped up. Been working non-stop since the past days and weeks. I kind of appreciate how busy I get to be lately. I feel like I always have my thinking-cap on. hihi!

I apologize if most of my blog posts are a bit delayed, but I will do my very best to make time and update you guys with lots of beauty-related, makeover posts.

In today's post, I am again featuring my super lovely and charming muse, Shine. You've most probably seen her in my previous posts and photo shoots. But this one's different, Shine represented one of her school's department as muse.

 The hair and makeup I did for Shine is something that I know would work for a day ramp and even a special day event.

KPop Stylista Shey @ 18

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? Now me, I'm doing great! I think this has been the longest time that I've not been able to update my blog for the reason of being ultra busy. Haha! Yeah! I mean ULTRA! I still get to update my FB, Twitter and Instagram a little so those who follow me there know what I've been up to recently.

But anyways, I'm back with blogging coz I miss it a lot! And what better way to be back than to share with you another makeup makeover.
So sit back and enjoy this roll of photos and makeovers.  Yes! Makeover(S) because this post includes 3 makeovers. ;)

Meet my lovely debutante Shey...

Theme for her party was KPop... and as I was in the mood for some Korean inspired looks as I was that time also been working on new Korean cosmetics to release following the much raved Encara BB Cream, I still made my research and created this look for Shey. 

Koreans are known for their wonderfully pore-less porcelain skin, especially the female Korean celebrities. They either look like they're not wearing any makeup on or they have a prominent eyeliner to make their eyes the focal point.
