Suppliers Review - Makeup by Mary Ann Martinez

Rating: 9/10 - RECOMMENDED!

Kwento: Heard of Mary Ann thru a friend na ikakasal ng June, that was way back nun nasa secret wedding preps stage pa kami hehe. Ang mura kasi ng package nya compared to those na nakuhaan ko ng brochures, and since ni-book sya ng friend ko additional factor yun why I want to consider her.  I don't know how to put ng maayos na makeup on my own konting pulbos at blush-on lang na di ako sure kung pantay ok na ako :p so challenge sa akin ang pagpili ng HMUA (Hair and Makeup Artist). Luckily nun Themes and Motifs fair (around Feb 2013) one of the exhibitors si Mary Ann and she is offering free trial hair and makeup. Nagustuhan ko yun result nun trial pati na rin ni Kim and ng mga critic friend ko plus ang gaan ng kamay niya, she does the hair styling din on her own. Right then and there, ni-book ko agad sya hehe..

Inclusions: Airbrush hair and makeup for the Bride with 2nd look for reception, Light airbrush makeup for the Groom, Traditional Makeup for 6 heads, Light makeup for all flower girls, Airbrush Prenup Makeup service plus free rental of Van Service for Prenup

Here is the picture of my trial makeup during the fair (camphoto only):

So here goes the points for my rating...
Pros:
- Super Good deal ang package nya!! With all that inclusions, the damage is still less than 20,000 including OOT fees
- I love my makeup and my hair!! Mapa nun prenup man or nun wedding! Kahit super iyak pa ako nun wedding di naman ako nagmukhang madungis dahil sa nasirang makeup. The makeup lasted until nun after party, kahit without retouch na yun 2nd look
- Magaan ang kamay ni Mary Ann kaya less iyak din ako during our sessions hehe.. di kasi ako sanay ng mina-makeupan
- Their team was able to handle yun unexpected additional heads na nagpa-service on the day ng wedding. Initially sabi nila (fam of groom) they will have their makeup done sa Salon dun sa isang Hotel where they stayed kasi nga its cheaper, pero in the end ayun dun na din sila lahat nagpa-do. Total of additional 6 heads pa ata ang nadagdag. Isang factor din ito bakit medyo chaotic sa bridal room during preps.
- During the prenup, nakuha nya yun pegs ko for the hair, I just showed her 1 yun para sa Dyosa peg then all the rest wala na akong ni-request pero yung nasa isip ko na look yun ang nag-materialize :) We had a total of 4 looks during prenup
- Plus point na she's also the one doing the hair kasi less gastos for crew meal/number of taong kasama sa session, pero not sure if kung may other na in-charge for hair mas mabilis ba matatapos yun HMU time :)
- We availed yun free Van service nila during prenup kasi kotse lang ang pwede namin dalhin that time, sagot lang namin ang gas and toll. Super convenient ito for us kasi si husband ni Mary Ann din ang driver

Cons:
- Just learned this from my Abays na makapal daw yun pagkakilay sa kanila ng make-up team ni Mary Ann, buti na lang one of my Abay, Steph retouched their kilays so di na sila lahat masungit hehe
- Nakulangan lang ako ng kaunti sa alaga/retouches nun wedding. Kasi parang from reviews I read may retouch pa ng konti bago pumasok ng church, pero sa case ko wala hehe

Here are some pics during our prenup and wedding:
