Reminiscing The Day: The Makeover

As a person who is not so into makeup, natural look had been my idea (as well as hubby’s) of a beautiful wedding makeover.  For our special day, I did not search for hair and makeup artists (HMUA) on any magazine, nor did I do ‘trials’ on wedding fairs. What I did was just searched the net hoping that I would find what we were looking for.

Whom I discovered was not found on any popular wedding supplier website. She is a freelancer. Her name is Jenny Mercado of Pearls and Ruffles. I read about her through a very simple ad on sulit.com. I learned also that she as well offers other wedding services like wedding coordination. I contacted her without second thoughts. Since I already had my coordinator, I inquired only about the HMUA service and stated our makeup requirements and was assured.  We exchanged correspondences through email wherein samples were shown and other details were discussed and I got more convinced that she could be the one we needed.

Finally, our meeting was scheduled and done. She’s a sophisticated woman and very nice too. I liked her a lot and was really comfortable talking to her (which I believed was a very important factor). I therefore decided right there and then that I already found THE hair and makeup artist for our very special  day.

*Our package included airbrush natural/nude makeup for the bride with retouch , grooming for the groom and traditional natural/nude makeup for the mothers and the additional entourage members. The package rate was very reasonable and even negotiable. *

When THE day came, she arrived right on time (the first supplier to arrive at the prep venue). I was very pleased with her (and her assistants’) work – as well as hubby, our mothers and some members of our entourage.

Thank you Ms. Jenny for the job very well done!
