Portfolio Shoot: Sneak Peek

Enjoyed the Watsons' Beauty Central Make-Up Competition 2011

SM DEPARTMENT STORE BEAUTY SECTION and ELITE Paris'

search for the next big make-up artist in Manila.

First Elimination Round

4 Contenders

SM Mall of Asia

This is my very first time to join a Make-Up Competition.

I am self-taught, I never had a formal lesson before,

I just felt like doing it. Just a little courage and

a lot of passion and of course not to forget prayers,

I made it through the screening and competed among the best.

God is so great, He gave me this chance.

I am so thankful!

Though I didn't win by a point, it made me more inspired.

Now I am more confident. Now I am more than willing. 

Now that I know I am just one point behind. 

I believe I can do better next time.

Thanks to my family, friends and to all those who supported me.

"Pureness blooms in the heart of a lovely bride.
The pureness of the body. The pureness of the soul.
The pureness of thought. The pureness of intentions.
What more can a groom look for from a bride
who is as pure as the love they shared.
