Breakdown: Nicole Floirendo Debut Makeup

Debutant Nicole Floirendo has a flair for the city of Paris, which she says, is the ultimate destination for romance and dreams coming to life.  Working with this pretty model’s Paris-themed celebration last month, I came up with a look for her that brought out romance, elegance and fashion. Her hairstyle was a mash-up between Demi Moore’s messy but glamorous ‘do at the recent Oscars, and Taylor Swift’s signature red carpet look.

Here is a breakdown of the products I used on her:

Face-

Ellana Makeup Primer
Make up For Ever HD Liquid Foundation #120
MAC NC25 Studio Fix Powder
MAC NC42 Studio Fix Powder for contouring
NARS albatros for highlighting

Lastly, this lovely photo capturing the essence of a true mademoiselle was taken by one of her her official photographers, Ms. Pamela Lico:

Camille’s Debut

Last December, I posted the pics from the hippie- inspired pre-debut shoot of Camille, the Maja Salvador look-alike. A week ago,  when students were busy with their exams, sat preps, and accomplishing school requirements, she celebrated her 18th birthday and I did the honor of dolling her up again on her special day.

Camille knows what she wants and speaks it politely. She requested for her makeup to be subtle and fresh on her debut.  She showed me a peg for the tousled sexy hairstyle that she wanted.  She’s already pretty to begin with, so I had no trouble giving in to her wishes. This time, she looked like no one else but her lovely self.

I used my new toy, the Philips 10 in 1 Multistylist to curl her hair. I usually hire somebody else to do the client’s  hair but this gadget made the hairstyling job a lot easier, and  so I did it myself. Here are some shots taken during the event by master photographer Dustein Sibug, for more pics, please visit his portfolio site at http://dustein.multiply.com:
