| There's always a first time for everything. |
Organized every year by the Filipino Hairdressers Cooperative (Fil-Hair Coop), with the very supportive founder Ricky Reyes. In togetherness support of the Office of the City Mayor and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer), presents the grandest Hair and Makeup Contest for the fairest model and greatest artist.
All the Make-up artist in Region 11 are invited to showcase their artistry in 3 challenging categories, Men’s Cut and Blow-dry, Avant Garde Men’s Cut, Commercial Make-Up and Bridal Makeup.
The program started with a short presentation of the latest trends on hair care, face products and new technology machines for makeup studios. I was very lucky to try Ricky Reyes signature hair brands, by his self!

This year, I've made my first mark for joining this prestigious competition, in the Commercial Make-up category. Aided by my workmates, we came up with the idea of dressing up my model with open front tuxedo and 4 inch open black sandals.

I've pulled back her hair to showcase her long neck. Also, on this photo coaching her to never be nervous, but actually the advice goes to me.
Most of the participants has their own studio already. I almost littled by self, but this community boosted my confidence by appreciating my output.
Sadly, weren't able to get the crown this year. Maybe next year! It's a whole lot experience for a first time.
Videos here! Have fun!
