Wedding of Daniela & Aloysius

~ 29th January 2009 ~

This is the time my camera was being sent to KL for repair so I have NO personal shots of the makeover process. * sigh*
I do however have some footages of the Wedding compliments of Wendell from ShakaBorneo.com, who happens to be their official photographer ( recommended by me! ). As well as from some people who attended their wedding, posted online - Thank God for Facebook!

The Morning Mass : Sweet and Simple
Makeup was kept to its minimal, enhancing the bride's natural beauty.
Morning mass held at Sacred Heart Cathedral with refreshments after the ceremony.

The Evening Reception : Old School Glam Revisited
Day turns into night as excitements steps in.
Her look was about old Hollywood glamour, unleashing her inner elegant diva.
An evening reception to remember at Magellan Ballroom.

This is one of my all -time favourite looks on a bride yet takes some aquired taste to appreciate.

Hair was kept sleek upfront and set into a high beehive to lengthen & balance her overall look. Simple yet elegant, reminding me of the infamous Imelda Marcos and her shoe collection.

The couple marching in...

And they Spoke

They Danced
They Smiled
They Laughed

They lived happily ever after!

Bridal Makeup at Inanam

~ 3rd of January ~
A new year has stepped in and this is my first bride for 2009!
Here is Jikilin @ Momoi who happens to be a long time friend who I met since 2001 in S.M All Saints. Who knew that 8 years later she will be tying the knot with her high-school sweetheart! *awhh~*
Anways, this makeup was done for her home reception @ Kg. Sinulihan, Inanam & hairdo done by her close friend.
Here are her before & after shots :

She has relatively clear skin with minimal breakouts so it was easier for me to set her base. I used m.a.c's strobe cream to prep her skin & finished off with loose powder from Miyami.
As she had smaller eyes, I did a more socket eyeshadow with heavy liner to enhance them. Blush is m.a.c's sheertone blush in Margin and lip color from Shishedo.

Here are the closer details of her makeup :

All photographs from this post is taken using a normal Sony digital camera with low mega-pixels. As you can see the bride's makeup will vary depending on the lighting. Flash usually results in rather harsh & strong makeup but translates to a more subtle shade in the day.
