the trial session started at 1400hrs.. toto charges a bit higher as compared to other artists pero ok na rin kase home service naman.. i was really hoping this would end my search for my make-up artist cause it's way out of budget na.. :(
54 hairpins after, here's how my hair looks in attempt to keep our vintage theme =)
1600 hrs..
closer look at the hair updo.. they used a mock-up hairpiece for the total bridal look :)
they both worked pretty fast and got exactly what i want.. :)
with toto and his (green) team =)
they're all very courteous and pleasing.. surprisingly, machika pala si toto.. i initially thought he was a snub cause it's so hard to set an appointment with him, hehe..
he usually does make-up for bridal magazines and fashion spreads..
found the one! no more trials for me.. toto will be doing my hair & make-up na =)
photos outside with flash..
so, how do i look? =D
we went to my cousin's children's party afterwards.. and all of my cousins and titas were all satisfied naman with the make-up..
1700 hrs.. kiddie party at dad's
no need for retouch even after eating =)
2100 hrs.. home from the bridal fair..
i dropped by at picc forum for my last bridal fair.. hehe.. ma-mi-miss ko 'to.. i was hoping to see my fellow April bride sisses but i guess everyone's busy na so hindi natuloy ang coffee session namin..
i just went to see kaye cunanan (our caterer & event stylist) and set our last mtg with clarice =)
at 2300 hrs was my first retouch.. removed the shine and added my glamour lipcolor =)
pros: i've heard a lot of raves on toto's work and found that they're all so true! he works fast, has very light application technique and listens to suggestions.. and he agrees to give me his package with his old rate.. hay buti naman.. =)
cons: a bit hard to contact.. he never answered my very first query (thru text) so i have to call him after a week.. but after setting our trial session, mabilis na sya sumagot basta text him lang pm onwards.. well maybe because he really is so busy..
i have no complaints except for some white streaks sa hair ko which i noticed after looking closely sa photos.. parang nalagyan din ata ng foundation yung hair ko sa side.. will just take note of that nxt time..
verdict: he's the one! yey! :)
to sum it all up..
