Davids Salon in the south of Manila was my second pick for my “natural ” look makeover and I chose their senior artist Rene Tengco to give me their signature look.
I wasnt able to take a before photo in this second experiment, it was a few weeks after and my hair has obviously grown longer in the next shot.
Overall, the look was still neutral, Rene followed my request for a semi smoky look but I still managed to look natural. I went to a beauty cosmetic launch that afternoon and the makeup still held up after a few hours. However for the hair, I was not too impressed with how it turned out, as it gave me the “mommy spray net hair”. Haha! I guess since it was in the growing out phase, they did what they could do to achieve a style that was no fuss and away from my face. The lashes could have been glued better though; they bothered me during the day but surprisingly, they didn’t fall off (so that’s a plus, in my opinion). Overall, it turned out OK and my verdict is, the look that I was going for was an enhanced version of myself. Looking like your own mother is a very good idea after all.
Give me your comments. How does this compare to Look no. 1?

First MUA did your eyebrows better. Eyebrows are my pet peeve. Not too thick nor dark nor underdrawn. Rene’s were underdrawn. I patronized David’s Salon before when they were still near ATC and Rene cut my hair. Good enough cut. You look more natural with the 1st MUA. But Rene’s makeup was ok too. Just think eyebrows and lips could have been applied better. Or it may be the hair too, as you mentioned. 🙂
Hi Maita thanks for your thoughts! Yes I agree, my brows done by Rene could ve been better, found it thin though. But no complaints on how he achieved a “natural look”, I was happy with the results, just the hair was a bit mommyish. First MUA Mela Jimenez who did my makeup is also a brow fanatic but I like her style of not making it look like A stencil. My 3rd Makeover experience will come out soon.
