Patty Laurel Maternity Shoot

As one of the most sought after beauty and lifestyle bloggers in Manila, I finally got to meet Patty Laurel Filart up close. I was struck by her easy going personality and warmth, she really didn’t have any of that diva star air around her. In fact, she had a lovely glow to her, due to her beautiful bun in the oven which is quite very soon. We shared some things in common, we both lived in the same subdivision while growing up and she mentioned that she was a teacher in a pre school located there.

Her idea of the shoot was more of a very casual, organic and natural vibe, I was told by Martine de Luna (who organized this shoot) that she wanted her shoot to look like it stepped out of the Kinfolk Magazine. Enter Jelito De Leon who is one of the best Instagram and Lifestyle photographers who captured the essence of her vibe. It was really up his alley since his photos are so clean and beautifully laid out, just like how she wanted it to be. Double that with the presence of stylist Bea Marquez (and all under the wing of Martine De Luna of Make it Blissful, who brought her adorable baby Krista who happily kept up with us), it was the perfect shoot.

I’d love to share some behind the scenes shots with you, followed by the final set by Jelito de Leon (also featured on Patty’s blog: MakeitBlissfulXJelitoDeLeon.)

Marsala Photo Tutorial Skin Prep

Finally here is my tutorial on the color of the year, Marsala. I’ve collaborated with Kira Ramirez, a beauty, fashion and lifestyle blogger who I’ve met during our Skinlux review with Martine De Luna, early last year. It was a long overdue collaboration since the past few months saw me indisposed and I recently hooked up with her again. Needless to say, it was a morning of girly fun and beauty schmoozefest. Here it is.

Fresh and Bare faced, ready to be glammed up.

Prepping the face:

Kira had Combination Skin, oily in the T-zone area and Normal on the the other parts of her face. I chose to use the Embryolisse Hydra mat moisturizer to address her skin. She also had redness and breakouts in her chin which she told me to conceal.

Skincare Arsenal, Fr. L-R, Embryolisse Hydra Mat, MAC Fast Response Eye Cream, Face2Face Super Matte Anti Shine and MAC Lip Conditioner

I used the Graftobian Color Corrector cream palette,to neutralize any redness or discoloration on the different areas on the face before applying concealer. Color used was a light peach corrector underneath the eyes, I also used the green color to neutralize her pimples under her chin.

Skin Perfection 101. Clockwise, Graftobian Color Corrector Palette, RCMA Cream Foundation in Shinto 2, RCMA Highlight and Contour Shading wheel, I used Shinto 3 and 4 to contour and Shinto 1 to highlight, MAC Eye Prep in Medium and Dermacolor Concealer palette. Brushes used NARS Concealer brush and MAC Synthetic blending brush

Kira’s face is round shaped, so I applied dark cream foundation on the outer perimeter of her face and top of her forehead and down the sides of her nose to give it depth and applied the lightest cream foundation on the high points of her face like the top of her forehead, middle of her nose, upper cheekbone and her cupid’s bow and chin to bring light to her face.

Ben Nye Translucent powder was applied to set her makeup in place.

All prepped and ready to be transformed.

Kira’s final glammed look is next. What is your favorite skin prep routine?
