WEDDING | Queenie

Posted on December 1, 2011 by rhia amio, make-up artist | Leave a comment

Beautiful Queenie’s pics are now up on artistrhi.com!
Side note:  I love how eyebrows make a world of difference!  I wish I had actual eyebrow hairs to work with, but mine have never grown back properly (or where I need them to!) due to a major stint of over-tweezing during my teens.  Of course, that forced me to learn how to draw them in (and I wasn’t always drawing them in properly!).  Need tips?  Put down the tweezers and check out my blog post on The Kit for some quick tips on Faking Full Brows.

Check out pics of Viv + Mike’s beautiful wedding featured on Wedluxe!  Gorgeous Viv is one classy lady, and you can see that carry through in all the fine details of the Big Day.  Plenty of eye candy here (cute couple included!) that amazing photographer, Claudia Hung, captured perfectly.

Oh yeah…Viv’s hair is by the super-talented Suzie Choi, and make-up by me :)

WEDDING | Suzie – Sneak Peek!

Posted on November 20, 2011 by rhia amio, make-up artist | Leave a comment

Amazing, amazing weekend!  I attended one of the most memorable and enjoyable weddings to date – the wedding of my amazingly talented friend, Suzie, to her beau, John!   I chat up Suzie a lot on the blog here because she’s obviously outstanding at doing hair, and really I just love working with her and being in her presence…and the brides we have worked with would say the exact same!!  Suzie brings such sunshine when she’s around (yes, even when at 5AM when my coffee hasn’t even kicked in) and the mornings are filled with laughter (+ flawless hairstyles!).  Always makes for a such a fun morning when she’s around, and that totally reflected in the amazing wedding her and John put together (they honestly thought of everything, and their love for each other and for the people there to celebrate was so evident + felt!).  Anyway, I could go on and on, but here’s a sneak peek at our morning getting the gorgeous bride ready….more to come!

Congrats, love!!

WEDDING | Chantele

Posted on October 29, 2011 by rhia amio, make-up artist | Leave a comment

Aww Chantele! This bride has a very special place in my heart, as we’ve been good friends since high school….and that’s waaay back.  We’ve known each other through really bad hairstyles, braces, different hair colours, baggy pants and really thick eyeliner (yep, high school!).  In fact, I credit Chantele with introducing me to a forever-fave L’oreal’s Lineur Intense eyeliner!

I remember doing Chantele’s make-up for her debut (a Filipino traditional celebration when a girl turns 18 and is ‘introduced’ to society, transitioning from childhood to adulthood).  Ever the supportive friend of the artistrhi dream, Chantele was one of the first people to be one of my make-over guinea pigs…and that’s always a good test of a friendship, as back then, I was definitely still learning!  Fast forward to today, and it’s an amazing honour to continue to have her friendship…and of course to be able to share in her wedding day by doing what I love…for someone I love!

The love affair for Chantele (and Lineur Intense) continues…

Love ya, Chanteleee! xo
