This is part 2 of my review for the search for the ultimate wedding hair and make-up artist. Here's the link of Part 1 which is consist of reviews for Malou Hibaler, Michael Celestino, and Jasmine Mendiola.
The Part 2 is for my trial make-ups with Bea Almeda and Eds Go.
Bea Almeda Make-up Artistry
Bea is another another Getting Married Bridal Fair find. I was able to get her flyer at the fair and I find her bridal looks beautiful. I scheduled a real trial make-up with her a week after the fair at her Serendra studio. Bea is the Chief Make-up Artist of Canmake and graduated from Makeup Designory. She is also an expert on avant garde make-ups aside from weddings and fashion editorial.
- Bea is nice and very easy to talk with. We tell each other stories while she was putting on my make-up. One of her studios is just in Serendra and it's near my place. She is a great person to work with.
- Bea used imported make-up brands on me like Mac, Make Up For Ever, Urban Decay, and Bobbi Brown.
- Bea is the best in face contouring among all the make-up artists I tried. She used a different technique on me and it achieved a slimmer face.
- She is a very thorough make-up artist. She really covers every part of the face and ensures that every blemish is taken care of. She did my make-up and hair for almost 2 hours. Worth every penny for all her efforts.
- Bea is also very technical and its very evident that she is a professional. You can never go wrong with her. Plus - she offers pre-nup styling with her make-up packages.
- Bea used a combination of airbrush make-up and traditional make-up on me. She blended and contoured first prior to finishing in with airbrush. The make-up stayed on with me until late in the evening and it blended very well with my skin.
- One of Bea's unique technique is the use of airbrush on the lips. She told me that this will make the lipstick last longer and better.
- She advised me to get hair color and extensions for the wedding day. She can get the hair extensions for me for an additional cost.
- I actually love the make-up she gave me. The blending of the eye shadow are really nice and I love the contouring she made. The eyebrows are kind of thick though plus the under eye make-up is kinda heavy. The look is good for events, awards night, etc. I definitely kept her number in my book for future Smart events.
