Eye Makeup Transitions with Paint Box Artistry (Makeup Workshop)

Last month, I was invited as a guest makeup artist in one of Paint Box Artistry's makeup workshops.  Paint Box Artistry, owned by Ms. Elaiza Basas, is known for hosting workshops for both basic and advanced makeup here in the Philippines.

The makeup workshop was a very intimate one and it was held in Go Hotels near Robinson's Pioneer. We had the makeup workshop in their conference room. This wouldn't be possible if not for my very good friend, Ms. Martha Jante, who is also a beauty vlogger. She endorsed me to Ms. Elaiza to be one of the guest makeup artists to the same workshop she would be in. We worked alongside each other to teach a small group of people about skin care and eye makeup transition. Peks Martha (that's our pet name for each other) shared with the students her skin care tips and tricks and I taught them three different eye makeup styles. The rest of the makeup workshop lectures were already tackled by Ms. Elaiza herself.

Ever Bilena Bold Beauty Event Featuring New Products!

So, last June, I was invited to attend the Ever Bilena Bold Beauty Event. I always get excited whenever I receive invites from Ever Bilena and whenever they consider me to try their new products because they will always have a special place in my heart. It is the first ever local makeup brand that I used and especially since I joined the Ever Bilena Big Beauty Challenge and became a grand finalists. That contest helped me gained lots of friends. Such a wonderful experience!

The Ever Bilena Bold Beauty Event was held at White Space Makati where we were given pegs to recreate and where they also introduced to us their newest products that are to be released real soon. Our final looks were also taken by professional photographer, Hub Pacheco. Right after he took our photos, he transferred the file to our own devices (in my case, my phone) so we can already have our own copies. Since it was just the raw file, I took the liberty to post process my own photo.

Let's talk more about this photo below, shall we? :)

My Ever Bilena Big Beauty Challenge Journey

Last December, Ever Bilena Cosmetics, Inc. hosted this makeup competition called the Big Beauty Challenge. It was a contest open for all makeup artists, vloggers, and makeup enthusiasts. All you have to do is post a makeup video on your Facebook account (1 minute min. and 3 minutes max.) using products from Ever Bilena/Careline. It ran for 10 weeks and in each week, they set different themes. Ever Bilena Cosmetics, Inc. chose one winner per week/per theme who each received Php10,000 as a prize! Then those 10 weekly winners were the ones who battled at the Grand Finale. The prize was a whopping Php50,000 in cash! My gosh!

I did not bother to join at first because I was quite unsure of how everything runs but when I saw the entries of those people who joined, I was encouraged to join. Also, the themes were very interesting! So, yeah, I decided to join! :)

L'OREAL INFALLIBLE PRO-MATTE FOUNDATION IS FINALLY HERE!

Finally, the most sought-after drugstore foundation and most-requested product from L'Oreal Paris is here in the Philippines! L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation finally made it to the L'oreal counters here in our beloved country. A lot of Filipinas fell in love with this foundation because of its capability to withstand our ridiculously hot weather here in PH.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and the ladies are once again busy preparing, looking for the perfect outfit, perfect hairstyle, and the perfect makeup look. A lot of ladies would search online and may find hundreds of makeup tutorials perfect for Valentine's Day. Well, as a YouTube beauty vlogger, I decided to do it a little differently and prepare something unusual for my viewers. An ANTI-Valentine's Day Makeup!

My Favorite Eye Makeup: SMOKEY HALO EYES

Hi, everyone! I'm trying to catch up on a lot of things. Things that I haven't shared here in my blog because I kind of went to a short hiatus. So, please excuse me if this is a little late.

A couple of months ago, I filmed this video and uploaded it in my YouTube channel. This is in collaboration with Sephora Philippines, by the way. Most of the eye products that I used to showcase my favorite eye makeup look are from www.sephora.ph.

About the eye makeup, yes! I love smokey eyes! And I love it even more if it's a smokey halo eyes! Having hooded lids, I think this is one of the best eye makeup styles for me. It helps open up the eyes and draws attention to your peepers since it looks like you have a spotlight on your lids.

Quick, Easy, and Simple Eye Makeup To Complete Your Look!

I admit, I am not really a good model of punctuality especially in school. As a working student and a nocturnal, I always stay up late and sometimes (if not most of the times), I wake up late so I have less time to prepare. Since I have experienced that countless times already, I have found ways and mastered how to do a quick and easy look perfect for any daytime occasions.

Usually, a little concealer, powder, eyebrow mascara, mascara, and lip stain are my life savers! BUT sometimes, if I have lesser time to prepare, powder, eyebrow mascara, and mascara are my best companions. However, there are times when a particular occasion requires you to be more made up. Since we don't always have the time to glam up fully, I have an easy solution for that --- SIMPLE EYE MAKEUP! It's amazing how a simple eye makeup can change your whole look. Here's a 1-minute eye makeup look that always saves my not-so-punctual arse! ;)

Photo Shoot with the NU Lady Bulldogs

Last month, I had the privilege to do the makeup of the NU Lady Bulldogs for a photo shoot for Biogenic and work alongside fellow makeup artist and beauty blogger, Ms. Nikki Tiu of Askmewhats! It was such an honor and I want to thank Nikki for having me as part of the team. :) The hairstylist is the great Aeicy Cruz who did all of the girls' hair. Ang galing! I also met Mr. Mark Lao, the photographer for the Biogenic shoot. His works are all amazing and he is really nice, too! It's the first time that I worked with him.

Makeup Demo at Female Network's First Beauty Con

I am privileged to be given an opportunity to be a part of the first ever Beauty Con of one of the biggest beauty networks, FemaleNetwork.com! When I received an invitation from them to be one of their speakers, I was thrilled! I really couldn't believe my eyes and I immediately felt butterflies in my stomach and just feeling overwhelmed knowing that I'll be on stage talking in front of a big crowd. Excited and nervous at the same time but it was such a great opportunity, so, thank you, Female Network!

The FemaleNetwork Beauty Con happened last November 15, 2015 at the Robinson's Magnolia Atrium. Oh, there's me with my sister/model, Queen B.!
