Being part of the Beauty industry somehow gives anyone the pressure of maintaining beauty for him/herself. It is hard to sell/promote your craft or your profession if you yourself is not a good example to whatever it is that you are practicing or promoting. Indeed, PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH. As a makeup artist, I promote and provide beauty to my clients, thus, it is but appropriate for me to maintain beauty as well so that somehow clients would feel at ease and comfortable with regard to my credibility.

SKIN 101 is a beauty clinic that offers variety of dermatological services. It might be a haven't heard clinic to some but it has been my most trusted clinic for more than 10 years now which provides an outstanding service and not to mention the prices of the services are not that overpriced compared to other clinics. I personally know the dermatologists/owners and they are very nice people. Though it is not the first time I will be working with them since I also did their first campaigns with model "Loua".

I have always been in love with natural makeup. But I also have to admit that achieving it especially in photos is not as easy as it looks. The makeup should not dominate the color of the skin, the application must be clean and when lights strike on the skin, the makeup should just enhance and not dominate nor masks the skin itself.

And also job well done to Nelson Cruz who has been the overall creative director/hairstylist/assistant/stylist rolled into one. It only proves that to be an advocate of beauty requires a lot... But in the end, it's all worth it! Kudos!
