During Preps:

Val has very good reviews here in w@w that is why I booked him in one of the bridal fairs where I got a huge discount and a waived OOT fee! Yey! Val is not only a HMUA but also a friend. I enjoyed my talks with him during preps although he has a tendency to worry you about your package when you discuss it over the phone. But it’s very understandable because most of the time he is on the go and with all his clients I can’t expect him to remember every single detail of the package.

Wedding Day:

Val is another fairy godmother! He was the first supplier to arrive at Balai Taal. He arrived 1hour 30 mins early for his call time. He made me look very beautiful on my wedding day. It is also worth mentioning that my hair had a perfect hold where the front veil was. The front hair should be able to hold veil otherwise it will fall flat like bangs under the veil.

 

Mama Val was not only my HMUA on my wedding day, she was also my on the day wedding coordinator who is in charge of the bride. He will remind me to smile always. He accompanied me during my pre-walk down the aisle. You can even see him in my wedding video as I walk down the stairs J

I also love my second look. It was one of his assistants who stayed and freshened me and my groom up BUT I really loved it. The airbrush make up suited me very well. I look fresh all day.

Val’s team did very well also making up the whole entourage. They all look so beautiful.

Tips:

1. Get a trial make up even if you know the MUA is good. It will develop rapport between you and your MUA.
2. Book VAL in bridal fairs. The discount is huge!
3. Show VAL pegs of the look you want for your wedding day but listen also to his suggestions because he is still the expert.

Wish: I wish I had the courage to pull my hair back haha I’m just wondering what it would look like. Not that I don’t like my hair, it’s just I’m too scared to try something new then on the day of my wedding :)
