Hey guys… You often told me I look bad wearing make-up. I grew up in a humble green and friendly place called Bacolod. It is quite a province if you compare it to Manila. The fashion, technology, media, advertising and all other things have not yet matured there as much as Manila is adapting more to Globalization. Ever since I was a kid, I was exposed to makeup due to my constant dancing and participation in many plays. Since, as a child, I technically don’t know how to dress up myself and apply makeup on my own, we often hire not-so-professional make-up artists. Just those who work at the parlor and technically not a pro in what they are doing.
With this, I had a phobia in makeup. It seemed like, no matter where I go and no matter who I hire, I look bad wearing makeup. I would look like a clown! Often, people will tell me “You look better without makeup on.” I wasn’t sure if this is supposedly a compliment. I mean, I look good even without makeup. But still, the depth of the sentence doesn’t still seem right. I have not captured my dances before. This is a big regret since I don’t have any pictures nor videos to look into. All of my long gone dancing days are just in my memory.
I carried this phobia until now, but one makeup artist really changed my mind about makeup.
No exaggeration…
For the first time, I felt comfortable with make-up.
For the first time, I can look into the mirror and say “I look prettier with makeup!”
For the first time, a heavy makeup complimented my features.
And it amazed me big time!
Unplugged Photoshoot.
Recently, I just had a photoshoot. The pictures can’t be released though as we are reserving it for a very gnarly purpose! Therefore, I can’t blog about it YET! BUT!!! I was itching so much to blog about my makeup artist! So here you go, this is just a sneak preview and I cannot release more pictures. This is just one of the pictures of the behind-the-scenes. We don’t want to expose too much footage so here you go. Just me and the makeup and my twins (lol)
I had a few more other looks that I can’t blog about anymore. But in all those looks, I looked pretty well. Not only was my face made-up, they touched my hair as well! These are just behind-the-scenes. Will post more pictures and my different looks soon!
Behind the scenes with Ria and Chris. They’re a tandem! Not only did I enjoy their artistic skills, I enjoyed conversing with them as well lol
Makeup by Ria Redor
I’m writing about Ria because I want to share my discoveries. A lot of girls don’t know where to look for a very nice makeup artist. Some aspiring photographers who need some eccentric, out-of-the-ordinary makeup don’t know where to find a good one as well. In portrait photography and fashion photography, I must say that makeup and photography go together.
Here are some of her works that I grabbed from her multiply page.

Throughout the grand design of things you actually get an A for hard work. Where you misplaced everybody ended up being in the specifics. You know, it is said, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more correct here. Having said that, permit me inform you just what did deliver the results. The writing is actually extremely persuasive and this is probably why I am taking the effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, although I can certainly notice a leaps in reason you come up with, I am definitely not certain of how you seem to unite the ideas which inturn produce the actual conclusion. For right now I shall yield to your issue however hope in the future you actually connect the dots better.
