Prom Makeup for Nikki Lago (020213)

Date: February 2, 2013

Client: Ms. Nikki Lago

Event: HS Prom Night

***

Hi everyone! Sharing with you another makeup gig that I had a few days ago. :)

Last week, Melanie, one of my followers, sent me an email inquiring about my hair and makeup service. She introduced herself and told me that she watches me in YouTube and all. I was sooooo happy! I'm beyond happy to receive messages like that. All of my hard works are worth it. :) Anyway, she arranged an appointment for her sister, Nikki, who was going to attend their HS Prom.

On the day of the gig, Nikki and their Mom went to our house to had Nikki's hair and makeup done. They chose to come to our house since they live not far away from us. Sayang lang hindi kasama si Melanie. I wasn't able to meet her.

Melanie sent me different photos of the makeup looks and hairstyles that Nikki preferred (pegs) through email. She wanted smokey eyes with full lashes on and a messy braided/sided hairstyle.

These are some of the photos she sent me.

For the eyes:

I fell in love with this eye makeup! I wanted to do it on me, actually! LOL! So, here's what I did:

I didn't copy exactly the eye makeup because I want Nikki to still look juvenile so I toned down the eye makeup a bit. Her eyes still looked mesmerizing, right? :)

For the hair:

About the hairstyle, I actually preferred Blake Lively's hairstyle but when I saw Nikki in person, I thought her hair is not long enough to recreate the Gossip Girl star's hairstyle. So, I decided to use Demi Lovato's hairstyle as an inspiration instead. Also, the night before my appointment with Nikki, I was watching Bebexo in YouTube and I've seen her Looped Side Swept Prom Hairstyle. So, that's what I did to Nikki's hair though it's not really the same. I just used it as an inspiration as well.

Here's Nikki's final look:

And here's her Before-After photos:

BEFORE: BARE FACE - AFTER: FULL MAKEUP

BEFORE: FACE MAKEUP ONLY - AFTER: FULL MAKEUP

I love Nikki's skin and face! Flawless and sooooo purdy! :)

The best thing was they loved my work! Nikki and Melanie's mom, Ms. Grace, loved the look especially the eye makeup! I was so happy to receive compliments from them. If they are satisfied customers, then I'm more than satisfied and I'm one blessed woman! :) Not too long after Nikki and Ms. Grace left our house, I received an SMS from Melanie saying that they really loved Nikki's look. They sent her a photo of Nikki and Melanie loved it, too! Yeheeeyyy!!! :)

Thank you so much, Nikki, Ms. Grace and of course, Melanie! Thank's for referring me and for choosing me as Nikki's HMUA for one of her unforgettable HS event. 'Til next time!

Stay awesome and accomplish your mission! :)

PROM MAKEOVER! (HAIR AND MAKEUP WITH VIDEO)

Just for fun and for the sake of bonding, I decided to invite my cousin, Lovely, over our house to have her as my model and film a video tutorial about prom hair and makeup makeover. It's Prom season again so I thought of uploading a video tutorial that can be worn during Proms, Formals, Homecomings, and the likes. We had so much fun filming this and my cousin is so pretty! She looks like Lovi Poe (a local actress here in the Philippines), right? Ang payat payat nga lang n'ya!!!

I did a brown and gold smokey eyes on her paired with brick/bronzed blush and peachy nude lip color. For her hair, I decided to do a side-swept ponytail with an alternative braid that I have learned from itsjudytime!

I'm into messy, romantic hairstyle looks these past days and I absolutely love Lovely's hairstyle! So simple and easy yet looks so classy and elegant! :)

Here's the video of Lovely:

Hope you enjoyed watching! Please let me know what you think about this look and if you want more hair tutorials by leaving a comment below. Talk soon! :)

Stay awesome and accomplish your mission! :)

Majestic Purple Eyes (A Prom Special in Collaboration with MakeupByShebby)

Whenever February finally hits the year, I don't just think that love is already in the air but I also think about different styles and colors for gowns, different cuts and looks for suits and tuxedos, different hairstyles, cotillions, and corsages. Yes, I also think about the much awaited event of every Juniors and Seniors from High School, the annual JS Promenade.

It's the time when every girls from High School (Juniors and Seniors) gets busy on the designs of their gowns and the looks that they will wear at prom. It's also the time when every J/S High School boys think about the suits they're going to wear and think about how who are they going to ask as their dates at prom night. :)

I remember when I was in High School which is already 8 years ago! How I wish I already knew how to glam up myself for certain events like that because then I would've rocked both my Junior and Senior years! :)

Well, there's nothing else I can do but just to reminisce every moments (if I could remember them all) during my JS Prom.

Oh, I almost forgot! Other than reminiscing one of my most treasured moments, I realized that even though I cannot attend prom already, I can help out the new Juniors and Seniors of today in a way where I know I am good at. Makeup! :)

So, since it's already February and JS prom is just around the corner, I decided to create a look that you can wear for Prom night. This Prom special is actually a collaboration with one of the prettiest faces in YouTube, Shebby of MakeupByShebby. She's one of those (including me) awesome beauty gurus who are not yet noticed by many. So, if you're reading this, please check out her channel in YouTube to see all the beautiful looks that she have created. :)

Shebby created a softer and lighter look for prom which looks very charming and adorable! Isn't she pretty?

Here's the thumbnail of her video tutorial for her Prom Princess look:

As for me, I created a more dramatic but wearable look for prom. A majestic purple eyes paired with rosy blush and soft pink lips that will help you gain the title Prom Queen or Queen of the Night. :)
