IRA NOPUENTE: PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST
{My hair, makeup and fashion styling portfolio}
Here’s the romantic makeup look I did for Tony Moly Philippines last February.

Model: Mayumi
Makeup: Ira Mata Nopuente
It was a rainy stormy day and we were off to La Luz Beach Resort for the prenup shoot of Sarah and Jet. The whole crew (Rupert and company of Nice Print, and me) were crossing our fingers that the weather in San Juan Batangas wouldn’t be that HARSH.

It was a long drive to Batangas, and luckily it was quite sunny in the resort. As soon as I was done with her hair and makeup, it started to drizzle. (So yeah, goodbye to the loose curls). Thank God my makeup was waterproof! I think I got used to a beach/swimwear shoot with gloomy weather because almost all of my swimsuit/summer collection shoots were shot during a rainy day.

Overall, it was a really fun shoot,and the whole team worked harmoniously. Sarah and Jet were laughing the whole time. It was really a light shoot despite of the weather.
I was fortunate enough to be tapped by SM Molino to teach 5-minute makeup for mommies last mother’s day. I shared some makeup, anti-aging and weight loss tips. Dora the explorer was there, she was actually the main event. The Beauty Demo was a treat for the mommies who brought their children to the event. Oh yes, I met Dora. Too bas I couldn’t record her dance since I was busy prepping up for my makeup demo.
I had a volunteer model, Ms. Gilda, who was there for her children. She’s a biology teacher in high school and she has 3 kids. Her kids were the ones who convinced her to be my model for the day. They were so happy that I chose their mommy. Ang cute and sweet nila!!!

Me, greeting everyone
