Q: Hi Dior! I'm starting my journey into making makeup artistry as a career. Just a question, what do you wear when on the job?
A: When I went to my makeup training schools, they always advise us to wear black. They say it's the signature "makeup artist attire." The same thing was followed when I was in L'Oreal. I did retail training for the beauty advisers of Shu Uemura and the rule was to have all our makeup artists wear black. Well it only makes sense -- black looks professional, it almost ...

Q: What's the shelf life for make-up products? How do I know if they're already expired and needs to be thrown out?
A: Nothing saddens me more than having to throw away makeup from my stash. I always allow myself to hoard makeup, telling myself "I'll be able to use it in my profession anyways," but always end up throwing up a bunch from my kit. Before I enumerate the guidelines on makeup shelf life, let me just say that anyone should never ever use makeup that's way past their expiration dates... Continue reading ...

Germany's number one cosmetic brand is back in Manila! Operated for a few years and gone for about two years, ArtDeco is available to us again, but this time, in a more posh home in Beauty Bar. I wasn't really that familiar with the brand; I've just been seeing its ads in our top local glossies for the past few months and I've been curious ever since. So when I got an invite from Beauty Bar to attend their workshop and learn more about the brand, I immediately said yes.

Spring makeup generally consists of romantic fresh pastels as well as colours inspired by florals. This Spring, the couture house of Dior chose his hometown, Granvill...

It may have been bothering you the same way it bothered me: Why does such a good make-up brand like Benefit not carry a liquid foundation? Well, the answer just came in. Benefit has recently launched its newest addition to their super fun make-up line Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow! Out in the public just last week in the US, Benefit's first ever liquid foundation is going to be available to us in Manila in April. I was lucky to have been invited to attend Benefit's Grand Launch last week as Maggi... Continue reading ...

When Majolica Majorca came to our shores last year, I wasn't as excited. With so many cosmetic brands around, it seems like nothing can ever surprise a make-up artist anymore. But as I've gradually gotten to know the brand, its story chapters and the products they carry, I became a believer. I usually don't mind what's inside my personal make-up kit that I carry around in my purse, but with MJ's chic regal packaging, I can't help but fill in my bag with those golden intricate cases! Very clas... Continue reading ...
