Last July 29, HG Studio sponsored the hair and makeup of the hosts of Q11’s newest show, Living Well. The taping was at the Encore Superclub at the Bonifacio Global City. HG Studio’s makeup team was able to do the makeup of all the hosts which included our dear friend Ms. Tracy Abad.
Living Well, is an up-beat, interactive magazine show, focusing on life’s different aspects, including beauty, health, events, gadgets, lifestyle and more. You can catch this new show every Sunday at 8:30 am only on Q11.



Last July 28, 2010, HG Studio together with fashion model, Ms. Karen Ann Tuazon, did a concept shoot to show our airbrush make up’s waterproof and smear resistant features.
Yours truly did the airbrush make up on Karen making a very sultry and sexy look for the shoot. The Airbrush makeup applied endured up to the end of the shoot even though she was constantly wet. This is because Airbrush makeup stays on a long time, withstanding water and sweat. That is the reason why professional photographers and fashion models prefer Airbrush makeup as it does away with many retouching that normal mineral makeup needs.
The results of the photoshoot was phenomenal, as the makeup made Karen’s beauty glow even if she was submerged the entire time.


We are very happy for our very good friend, Ms. Tracy Abad, who is about to embark on a new show on Q11. Her new show, Living Well, is an up-beat, interactive magazine show, focusing on life’s different aspects, including beauty, health, events, gadgets, lifestyle and more. The show will feature Ms. Tracy Abad as one of the hosts of the new show.
Last July 28, 2010, the HG Studio team did the hair and makeup of Tracy for the shows initial episode. You can catch the new show, Living Well soon, only on Q11.
Exactly one year ago, from merely a dream, everything became a reality.
July 25, 2009 was the blessing of the HG Studio located at the ground floor of Torre Venezia Hotel along Timog Avenue, Quezon City. The studio then had the most modern and state-of-the-art makeup, hair and photography facilities that most event and makeup studios could just dream of.
This coming year, HG Studio has upped the ante with acquisition of additional equipment to further improve the services the studio offers to its valuable clientele.
We know that the coming year would be another blessing not just for HG Studio, but also for the entire HG Studio Family as well. We would like to thank all the partners that have helped us reach our position today as one of the most sought after wedding and events service providers in the metro.

Going to a party is a very important thing for a woman, so simply dressing up is just not enough. This is why Ms. Jeilyn Jacosalem of GMA 7, came to HG Studio to have her makeup done by the experts for a GMA Private Party later that day. With her glam outfit, her look was complete with the gorgeous makeup done by the HG Studio team.

Just like any other kid, Neil Cedric was looking forward to his 7th birthday. To make this event even more fun, his parents got HG Studio to set-up its Photo Station for his party last July 24, 2010 at the Fernwood Gardens in Quezon City.
The party was filled with family and friends, with all the wonderful gifts and games. This was the best party that Neil Cedric could ever imagine for his 7th birthday. HG Studio’s Photo Thoughts photo station, made all the memories stay forever with the fun photo souvenirs that his guests took home with them. And since HG Studio’s Photo Thoughts photo station can be customized for the needs of every customer, Neil Cedric’s requested for a Buzz Lightyear template making his photo souvenirs one of a kind!
We wish Neil Cedric a very happy 7th birthday and we hope to work with him again in his next party!


Turning 18 has always been one of the most important rites of passage for a girl into womanhood. So, HG Studio was very happy to work with Ms. Vera Lim to make her debut a very memorable one, by doing her Hair and Makeup last July 24 at the Patio Ibarra in Quezon City.
We congratulate Vera for her fun party and looking forward to work with her and her family again in the future.

Last July 21, 2010, rocker chick, Ms. Caren Mangaran, the bassist for General Luna Band, became a blooming bride for a day for a wedding concept shoot at HG Studio.
The HG Studio makeup team did a non-traditional but elegant Filipina bride look, away from the usual “no-make-up-look” most brides request I do for them for their weddings. I applied metallic brown and gold eye shadow to give the eye’s natural color more depth. Her lips were defined more with a romantic shade of red lipstick perfect for a special union. The photoshoot went very well, fun and easy, with Caren’s personality exuding a very glamorous and sophisticated look. Its always a pleasure to work with Caren.
Ms. Rodessa Mortezo, preparing for her upcoming wedding, came to HG Studio to have her hair and makeup done for her pre-nuptial photo shoot.
Upon learning that she wants a sophisticated look, the HG Studio makeup team gave Rodessa a modern and sophisticated look that day. The result was amazing!!!
This once shy lady is now slowly coming out of her shell…we are so proud !!!






HG Studio, the metro’s most promising makeup-photography studio, was featured last July 20, 2010 in the Philippine’s Number 1 morning TV show, Unang Hirit on GMA 7. The interview with Unang Hirit’s host Ms. Suzie Entrata-Abrera highlighted the advantages and unique features of HG Studio’s Photo Station, as compared to the ordinary photobooths that others offering.
The interview showed the audience how the Photo Station makes your event more exciting by having your pictures the way you like it. Even with a big crowd, or just by yourself, with HG Studio’s “paparazzi” adjusting to you and your guests and not the other way around, as what always happens with the limited size frames with traditional photobooths. HG Studio’s PhotoThoughts photostation livens up the party with your choice of backdrop and a custom photo layout, giving a unique souvenir item for your guests perfect to the last detail.
The entire HG Studio Family would like to thank GMA 7 and the Unang Hirit Family for the wonderful opportunity of promoting our services to your viewers through your show.
Looking forward to work with Unang Hirit again.

Last July 16, 2010 HG Studio Makeup team was able to make one more bride happy on her wedding day. Ms. Luanne Cortan, a client based all the way from Norway, exchanged wedding vows with her husband at the Mango Farm Events place in Kingsville Court, Antipolo City. This beautiful venue served as witness to the Sungueza – Cortan Nuptial. As requested by the bride, I made sure to create a look so natural as if it was she did her own wedding makeup. Luanne’s beauty came out superbly to her husband’s delight.

Another service that HG Studio provided for the couple was HG Studio’s Photo Station named Photo Thoughts. We presented the couple and their special guests a beautiful garden backdrop in colors of black, green and brown with a touch of pink and white. The backdrop was very apt since that exactly was the theme that evening. Each picture was a memory to remember…a souvenir to keep. All their guests had a wonderful time.
To the couple who are beautiful inside and out…congratulations from HG Studio!!!
Like most of the people who come to HG Studio to try our limited-time free trial makeup offer, Ms. Rodelyn Aguiluz, who is based in the U.S.A., came out very satisfied with the results. After the exceptional trial makeup, she immediately booked the studio to do her hair and makeup for her wedding.

The second concept on the other hand took a different theme altogether. HG Studio’s makeup team gave Lheslie a provocative yet elegant look for her makeup. Lheslie provided the sexy vibe, which resulted in a sensual but classy concept for the studio’s and Lheslie’s portfolio.
