April De Jesus-Agregado's Bridal Makeup

I already posted a blog about April and Johncy's wedding last March (CLICK HERE), but it's only now I got a picture of April from her wedding. I want to talk about April's makeup. April had great skin and a great smile. With that combination, you don't need a whole lot of makeup on your face. You just need to highlight the areas that need more attention and you are good to go! On April's chinita eyes, I wanted to give her a more bright-eyed look by washing the lid with a sort of a silver-gray sheer shadow, and load up on mascara. I defined her beautiful eyebrows and brushed her cheeks with a beautiful deep rose blush. I used moose, not powder. Blend it with your hands so that it will really blend beautifully on the skin. On her lips, I used a matching shade of the blush that is a lip liner and lined and filled her lips with it. I glossed it and finished with a thin layer of loose iridescent powder. Don't fix areas that don't need fixing! This is one mistake that is common. Sometimes, people think that when you are a bride, you need to be made up to the maximum! With me, when you are a bride, I use as little product as possible, and I make sure it lasts!

Here's April about 7 hours into the makeup... PHOTO CREDITS Makeup: Sabs Hernandez for Lancôme Paris Hair: Paulo Lopez

An Unconventional Prenup Photoshoot

I was looking for pictures from my files when I came across a folder filled with April and Johncy's prenup photos. They are just sooo cute! This was what April had to say:

"Sabs was a former co-worker at the executive search firm where Johncy and I both worked. She is now a freelance artist for Lancôme and her work has been featured in Metro, Cosmopolitan and Preview Magazine. She regularly works with celebrities like the gals from Us Girls, Tina Juan and John Lloyd Cruz. An added bonus is she's so easy to talk to and very accommodating (she squeezed us into her schedule even though she had an 11AM wedding! Thankfully, we didn't make her late for her appointment). Her full profile is on http://sabshernandez.blogspot.com.

Didn't get a "before" picture taken anymore. Suffice it to say that I had only three hours of sleep, harassed because of the traffic getting to Sabs' place, plus I disobeyed my derma (again) by pricking my zits. When I went to her, I had three very red, very visible marks on my face, and luggage under my eyes. She covered all that without making it feel like I had a mask on. However, she also covered the mole below my left eye, heheheh! The make-up was fantastic! It lasted more than 12 hours and was subjected to the sun, wind, sweat, kisses, and eating!

Didn't have enough time to get my hair done, so I fixed it myself :-)

Our unconventional photo shoot was held last 08 September 2007 with Kelvin Uy, photographer extraordinaire, talented guitarist and fantastic friend. Venues for the shoot were at the North Forbes Park garden, Johncy's grandmother's house in Forbes and Kerplunk! Studios.

We didn't want to have the usual walk in the park or stroll along the beach type stuff (though we did have some of that), and we definitely didn't want to show mushy stuff. We wanted FUN, FUN, FUN! I do believe we succeeded.

Shout outs to Kelvin Uy, Maan Munoa, Monica Maralit, Umma Villanueva, Pat Jalbuena and Sabs for making it all happen! We hope you enjoy viewing the pictures as much as we had fun getting them taken."

Hehehe... I love them both :) Congratulations to Johncy and April! Makeup: Sabs Hernandez of Lancôme Paris assisted by Ruth Spence Hair: Paulo Lopez

Patty Eustaquio for Preview's Cocoon

We all arrived at Patty Eustaquio's house at around 2:15. Before I even met her, I was aware of her clothes line and her designs, so it was an honor to meet her. Patty is now the president of YDG.

When Paulo (the hairstylist) and I got to work with her makeup and hair, it only took us a short time to get her ready. Patty had clear, soft skin that I hardly put anything on her face. I only applied tinted moisturizer on her face and blended Lancôme's Pop Cherub eye palette just to add depth to her gorgeous, already deep-set eyes. On her lips, I only applied little color and gloss. On her cheeks, I used a gel blush to make her look naturally flushed, then lightly dusted loose powder on top of it.

Patty already knew how to pose for picture so it was a pretty fast shoot. VJ didn't have any trouble shooting her, the weather cooperated with us so lighting was great too. We were in and out of there for a total of 2 hours! Hehehe... I had a great time shooting this one because it was simple, and Patty was so very nice. Also, I haven't worked with Ray in so long that it was so fun to see him again!
