Here are some comment highlights received from voters:
 

ON WENWEN ZASPA


"I just love the way he does his makeup.  It's clean and gorgeous!"


"I worked with Wenwen on a lot of shoots in the late '90s.  For two or three years he was my makeup artist of choice for fashion spreads and other shoots. Very fun to work with, everyone loved having him around.  And easy to work with too because he understands his craft, he understands palette, and he is not afraid to share his ideas.  I learned a lot from him.  I look forward to the day when I will get the chance to work with him again."


"Wenwen always transforms the versatile world of makeup artistry into (an) undefined world.  Creating and experimenting (with) new things is exactly what he wants to achieve.  More power ma!"


"Wenwen creates looks that make illusions of beauty turn to reality.  A true artist at heart, he achieves those elusive contemporary yet timeless looks on brides, models, and even on real people.


"Dependable, efficient and gets the work done.  These are only a few words to prove that Wenwen delivers. How about quality of work? AMAZING!  Wenwen brings out the natural beauty that has been lingering inside you.  If we were to do our once in a lifetime event, we will not change a thing.  Why settle when the best is right in front of you?"


"Wenwen is such a natural gifted make up artist."



"I like the look wen Wen did... it is neat and wearable to any Halloween party, (whether in) costume or not."


ON GARI SON

"Gari's work always stands outs like nobody else."


"You're so, so blessed Gari, the glory of God just shines on your work!!! God bless you always..."


"Who needs so much effort for a drama when you can have a simple yet outstandingly remarkable work of art!?!"


"Hi everyone! I think this competition should not be taken personally to every artists involved, after all they represent CEBU and we should be proud that we have these talented vibrant artists that brings honor to all Cebuanos. If indeed we need to make a comment for the ones we vote and for those we think don't fit in for the competition per se, at least we'll make it a constructive one. As for me, I'm voting for GARI as i know him personally (he's my bro *big smile*) and me and my friends voted for EMI too because our family knows him. I'd have to say we have our votes for WENWEN too because he's wacky and I liked it how he said, "vegah rah."  Hahahaha. JESSIE has his own creativity too though I don't know him personally but would love too if given a chance. Anyway, good luck to everyone and have fun voting! Keep the votes coming and keep the comments inspiringly constructive!  Peace yah all. :)"


"This competition should come in peace with everybody as I firmly believe that every artist here are friends with each other so let us wish all of them well as they represent CEBU...it only proves that CEBU is ready and will always be ready to compete internationally! we are so proud of you guys!!!  Proud of you GARI!"


ON JESSIE GLOVA

"It's very artistic. flawless... just amazing to see.  It's a work of art not just plain makeup. I love it."


"I undoubtedly vote for Jessie Glova!!!!!!!!!! Very uncommon...very creative..soft subtle, fine touches but with strong par excellence effect..a cut above the rest!"


"I love Jessie's style! i'm not really a make-up person...because I prefer to go for the natural look but then again, during events it's a must.  Jessie Glova knows how to enhance your features and high the right parts. He's the only one who can make eyeshadows look good on me.  I <3 Jessie Glova!"


"Wow all entries are amazing and Very impressive! :-)  But I choose Jessie's work. Clever use of makeup, combination of prosthethics and other props. What a work of art!  Bravo Jessie!  I take my hats off to a great artist, an even greater mentor, and greatest friend! :-)"


"This is a free interpretative competition and I believe its healthy ....thumbs up to all the entries ....imagine Cebu's got talents!  We should be proud of it.  I salute all the entries...to Jessie Glova...somebody who is open and a very intelligent guy... keep up dude...your craft will take you places...come to New York we have a place for you...congratulations to you and the rest of the entries." 


ON EMI AYAG

"I like that he included the neck area creating a more fluid flow from the make up from the face.  Nothing extravagant but delivered the scary factor just the same."


"Congratulations!  Another masterpiece!"


"Work of love from a real pro!!!"


"THE GREATEST ARTIST THAT I MET! GO EMZ!"


"We know how you work, it's been proven, you are still in the industry until now. D ba? love your halloween entry!  Best wishes momi ems............ congrats!


"You have a talent indeed-no question bout that."


"It's the most scary makeup! Love the dramatic effects on the face!"


ON JING-JING MANCHING 


"Very creative in using the lashes...exploring more and seeking its limitless usage."


"Fantastic...simple but glamorous."


"Nice blend of colors.  So vibrant."


"We're proud of you!  You're not just a great dad but a great artist!" 

ON BOBBIE ALBERT


"Ate Bobbie you're the best!"


"I love it!"

Behind the Scenes of Halloween Makeup Mania 2009

I have to say, I'm having so much fun with this project.  The idea of this contest was a major Eureka moment for me.  When I was first thinking of a makeup theme I thought of Halloween since it was right around the corner.  I couldn't believe we were able to successfully cram this event in just one and a half months.  Yes, I spent some long hours on the computer trying to get this website together, but it was all worth it!  It's also still a work in progress.  Since this is the first event, you can only imagine what a learning experience it was for all of us.  


We hope you enjoyed viewing the work of our local makeup artists  and their Halloween creations as much as we did planning the event.  Through these video slide show, you'll get to see snippets of what happened behind the scenes.


Thanks again to everyone who voted.  Keep those votes coming until Halloween night.  Cheers...to future online makeup manias!

La-la-Lashes for Halloween Makeup Mania

Hello Cebu (and the rest of the world)..did you book your favorite makeup artist yet for your Halloween party?  If not, what are you waiting for?  Grab some inspiration from their 2009 Halloween Makeup Mania entries below.


I just want to say how grateful I am for the overwhelming number of votes (1,300+ and counting) submitted since we uploaded the pictures last Saturday.  In behalf of everyone else involved in this online event, I'd like to thank you for all your support. If you haven't voted yet, please remember that you have until Oct. 31st to vote.  Or vote now!  It will only take you less than a minute.
Sometimes we take the makeup profession for granted.  As a fan of their work, I hope this event will bring more respect and recognition to the talented makeup artists in Cebu.  At the same time, I think it's also a very healthy form of entertainment for all of us and will really help in promoting Cebu.

Let me tell you more about the concept of Halloween Makeup Mania.  American International Industries releases a special collection of Halloween false eyelashes every year under the brand Fright Night Cosmetics.  Because they sponsored the lashes, I invited the makeup artists to do their own interpretation of Halloween makeup by incorporating the lashes into the whole look.  As you can see below, each one had his own unique interpretation of Halloween.  Contrary to general perception, Halloween makeup is not limited to horror makeup. It can simply be 'costume makeup.'

With that being said, here are more photos that showcase the looks they created using strip lashes from Fright Night Cosmetics.  I know many people have been asking for more photos so they can see the entire concept.  So here you go!




Wenwen Zaspa went for a 'glam look' with splashes of bright pink and yellow on the eyes and the lips.  He also highlighted the model's up-do with the same colors he used on her face.  The look goes very well with his choice of crystal-studded lashes.  Besides, who doesn't want to look fabulously pretty for Halloween?  Model: Blinky of M.A.C. Models  



Gari Son creates his own Halloween character which he calls the 'Renaissance Warrior'.  He draws inspiration from his choice of eyelashes to create patterns on the face and brings us to the the dark side.  He  also offers us a dose of originality and high fashion.  Model: Jam Charish Libatog of A.D. Models                                                         

 



Emi Ayag explores not only the face but the nape as well to bring us the fright factor in this bold 'animalistic look'. His use of black and red creates a strong contrast against the model's silver-coated skin which matches the silver sparkles on the lashes.  Model: 




Jing-Jing Manching's 'red affair' teaches us that there are no limits when it comes to using false eyelashes.  If you think that falsies are only for the top and bottom lashes, think again.  He takes risks and applies the strips right above the eyebrows to bring out the eyes even more.  The joke's on us!  Model:



Jessie Glova fondly calls his entry "The Cry of Gaia."  He combines prosthetics and airbrushing to create a socially relevant masterpiece symbolizing natural catastrophes around the world.  Art really does imitate life in more ways than one.  Model: Himself




Bobbie Albert's entry is a breath of fresh air into the Halloween theme.  Pastel highlights and flawless foundation on the model's skin bring out the princess in all of us.  He frames her eyes with shimmery top and bottom eyelashes.          Model:  Ivy Marie Bacalso of Marlon Wafer Models

                                                                                                                                                                                           

All this and more coming out soon in Sunstar's Halloween Supplement.  Grab your copy from newsstands on Thursday, Oct. 29th.
