HMUA or Hair and Makeup Artist are thought mostly important for the Bride, since her HMUA will have to make sure that she’s THE most gorgeous on her wedding day. Though in some cases Grooms also have their own grooming preferences which should also be considered. In Manila, there are tons of known HMUAs in the wedding industry and like any other type of supplier, they are categorized not only through their popularity, portfolio, work of magic but as well as according to their package rates.
Below are some HMUA that we have inquired with. Rates are as of 2015-2016 subject to change. Additional makeup for entourage and Out of Town fees should be considered and rates will depend on the number of heads and location of wedding and/or prenup. Grooming for the Groom as they call it would automatically be included if they are in the same hotel/wedding prep area.

UPDATED SOME RATES AS OF NOVEMBER 2019
Happy preps! š

Getting married on January and your blog is so informative!! š
Thanks Clare. Happy preps!
Thank you. Your blog is very helpfull. January 2017 bride here and the wedding preps really stress me out š¦
Hi Jane. Thanks for the kind words. š Yes it’s true that wedding preps is stressful but it’s also fun and exciting. You just need to have proper time management and to focus on your priorities and budget. Happy preps! š
May I know which make up artist did you end up with?
Hi Wynona. We got Toni Aviles for us and Carissa Cielo Medved for the entourage. We posted the details on the topic Our Wedding Preps Timeline.
hi! im also based overseas and just wanna say your site is sooooo helpful :O question did you do your pre-cana, canonical interview overseas also?
Hi Jessica. Thanks! Yes we actually did our precana here but not the canonical interview since as per our church it is supposed to be done at the church where you’ll be married. Better ask your church for more info. You can also check our other post regarding legal documents for guidance. Happy preps!
Hi ! Do you happen to have Cherry Pacheco’s email ? Thanks !
Hi Janine. Sorry I don’t have. We just communicated through FB. You can try that. Good luck.
Hi there, may I know your deciding factor for Toni Aviles? And did you get her for prenup as well? Thank you so much! Super informative blog! š
Hi Ginny. Thanks for following the blog! š Anyway I booked Toni Aviles because I have been following Toni’s social media accounts where Toni posts her works and I find them great. Toni’s package is actually affordable as compared to other HMUA with the same level of professionalism and caliber. I also researched thoroughly for feedbcks from her past bride clients and all were praises for Toni’s work ethics especially being hygienic. I got Toni for both our prenup and wedding. Our prenup shoot is already done and I only have good words to describe my working experience with Toni. I will be posting a separate thread for all my wedding supplier reviews later after the wedding.
Hi! We would like to invite you on our upcoming Rizal Biggest BRidal Fair 4th Edition on February 24-26, 2017 at SM City Taytay Event Center. We only offer this for chosen event companies, and you are one of the chosen event suppliers. This is our 3rd year for Rizal Biggest Bridal Fair. For inquiries call or tex to 09979262125. Tnx..
I was so keen to have Mer Orlina and Dacanay and saw them on your list kaya sabi ko magbase na nga lang ako sa list mo muka namang pareho tayo ng mga gusto haha..anyway ikaw na naging full coordinator ko ah! Haha
Highly recommended ko si Ms Mel Orlina, though take note of the tips that we posted sa Supplier Review. But, hindi ko talaga marecommend si Dacanay. Book at your own risk.
Aww thanks for that! š
Hi Aiki, I am keen on Mariah but you mentioned about the GT reviews? what does GT means? š
Thank you!
Hi Marie. GT means Girltalk Forums. You can check that for other Mariah Santos’ reviews.
Hello! Do you have the link where you found the bad feedback regarding Nelsy Ernst? Thank you!
Hi Jme. I cannot share it here since I found it from a closed wedding group.
Oh okay, understood. Thank you!
