Real Bride Sharmaine Mina-Carlhian: The Beautiful Sentimental OC

The first time I met Shermaine, I wasn't sure what to do with her as far as makeup goes - she's already gorgeous! The wedding in Manila was the second one for the couple as it preceded a ceremony in Belgium. It was a simple, detailed and well put together wedding with dainty details and unique personalization (if that's even a word).

Shermaine wanted the same makeup look she's had for years now - which is black liner around the rim of her eyes. I just enhanced her beautiful morena tones with a touch of golden eyeshadow. Shermaine preferred not to wear false lashes on the day as well. Au naturele. :)




I cannot resist placing a photo of Shermaine with her beautiful mom (who also made the dresses for the occasion) alongside the photo of her dad (who passed away a month prior to the wedding :( )
It was a beautiful wedding with much mixed emotions. Early in the morning, Tita Zeny said that she was sad, that she wished Tito Roger was there with them. As I looked out the balcony of the room and saw the sun shining so beautifully on Taal, I said to her, "Don't worry Tita. I think he is." Much love to the Mina family. And again, congratulations to the not so newly wed Carlhians. :)
