Behind the Scenes: LuLu Makeup Photoshoot

After being postponed due to the strong typhoon last week, the photoshoot for LuLu Makeup finally pushed through. The venue was held at the Camera Cart Studio at Sikatuna Village. The shoot started at 1:00PM and we luckily ended at around 6:00—finishing all the looks that were planned. The Lu sisters (Charlene, Dane and Justine) including Janica and I , were all present. Our photographer was Ed Altares.

The studio was very nice. I felt really comfortable working with the LuLu Team. The only pressure that was pressed on us was time! We hustled like we never hustled before! I regret not having taken more BTS shots since I forgot to bring my extra pairs of hands.There were plenty of LuLu Makeup palettes for everyone to use! Here is Achi Char (Charlene Lu) working on the hair of Dane.My second and third look. You can veryu much tell what the second look is all about! I love you KARMINMUSIC! I wasn’t able to take a shot of the first look, but the shots from Kuya Ed will definitely compensate for that!Here’s another long long sister of mine! The beautiful Janica Buhain! Luckily squeezed in these shots in between changing of hair and makeup.Achi Char with myself in my “just-had-squid-for-lunch-look” Hahaha! I told you we can totally pass for sisters! Can you believe she’s married? She looks sooooooo young! When the pressure was dying… Seriously one of the most beautiful faces I’ve worked on. This is Dane Lu. She’s only 16! Such potential to be a model. She has the most beautiful skin ever. I hardly did any concealing. I heard Janica rave about Justine’s complexion as well! The Lu sisters definitely have great genes! Thank to Achi Char for all these BTS shots of me and Dane!Janica and myself working on Dane and Justine.The living doll.Our working area was all messed up!The LuLu Makeup Team with our photographer Kuya Ed.The beautiful Lu sisters.Having some pizza after all the hair and makeup madness.

LuLu Makeup’s RIO PALETTE (Introduction & Swatches)

As one of the partner-vloggers of the newest makeup line in Manila, I am proud to introduce the RIO PALETTE! This is a beautiful two-layered palette that has 32 full size matte eyeshadows and 10 full size cheek color / blush, 3 brushes are also included (E/S brushes and sponge-tip applicators).

WATCH MY VLOG ABOUT LULU MAKEUP’S RIO PALETTE HERE!

The palette is very lightweight and compact—making it absolutely convenient to bring around! You can actually stash this baby in your bag! I took the liberty of swatching each color for my readers because I know it would be of great help, especially when you’re in a dilemma (between buying this palette or another). I hope you enjoy the photos! Click to enlarge, ladies and gents! I painstakingly added those number labels for your convenience.

We are currently running the Introductory Price Promo! You can get this palette for only PHP 850! After July 25, it goes back to its SRP which is 100 pesos more! It’s better to buy it now, methinks! It’s worth every peso you’re going to be spending! You can also click here to see the other products at their intro prices.
