The one thing I learned about working with Merry is that she’s very easy going and flexible to work with. I’m the type of person who wears zero makeup, and knows absolutely nothing about makeup. So this in turn, actually makes it more difficult to work with me because seeing makeup on myself is just such a big difference. After my first trial with Merry, I was able to envision the type of make up I wanted for my wedding day. Merry was very accommodating and persistent that she’ll work with me to make sure I was comfortable with my makeup, and that that was her #1 goal, which I appreciated greatly. She took all details I asked for into account, and she did a fabulous job. I would highly recommend Merry as a makeup artist, as she not only does a great job makeup wise, but she also has the personality that you’d definitely appreciate working with!

Merry is a fun, easy going and talented makeup artist…a soothing savior to any stressed out or tired looking bride. She is able to turn a bride with less than four hour of sleep into a beautiful bride that people still raves about days later. Thanks Merry for making me look beautiful!! Thanks also for making all my bridesmaids look so gorgeous! It is a testament to your skills that you can put makeup on 3 chinese, 1 african and 1 pakistani and have them all look equally gorgeous in their own way. Best of all, all our makeup looked very natural and stayed on until 2 in the morning!! That’s more than 18 hours of durability! Thank you! – Julie

Merry did the make-up for a bridal party I was in recently, and I didn’t realize how good I could look (or how mediocre my own make-up skills were)! I didn’t look done up, I just looked flawless!! I’m not sure how Merry managed this, considering my skin was behaving like a teenager’s at the time?! And, what is even more impressive was that I looked pretty much the same from the moment I left Merry’s make-up brush to when I got home at 1:30am, after all the toasts and tears. I will be, once again, basking in the glory of Merry’s make-up genius at my own wedding this coming summer! That way, if/when I trip down the aisle, people will be too distracted by my beauty to notice ;o)’

A wedding for a non-makeup wearer is always a bit a of a shock.
Shockingly, I still looked like me! And felt like me! Only much
prettier =) Who knew?
I didn’t look cake-y, I didn’t get mascara rivulets when I cried my
eyes out, and everyone said wonderful things.
It certainly helped that Merry knows what she’s doing, and is cool,
relaxed, easy to talk to, and just plain fabulous.

I had never EVER! had my makeup done by anyone other than myself. I have never trusted anyone to do a better job. Not until I met Merry. Merry has perfected the art of looking “naturally beautiful”. With her intelligent and masterful use of her medium – makeup, she can make you look soft and dewy, lustrous and radiant without being overly made up. She doesn’t “mask” your and cover flaws with makeup. Instead, she plays around with your “assets”, enhances them and she brings out your inner “gorgeousness and fabulousness” with every stroke of her makeup brush. I should know. She did my bridal makeup and boy! I was definitely fabulous and gorgeous on that day, if I may say so myself. I looked it therefore I felt it. I am so happy with the results and I have a whole bunch of beautiful pictures to prove it. No one could have done a better job than Merry Carlos-Baguio. Too bad she’s no longer here in the Philippines to spread more fabulosity. You Canadians are lucky! You not only have the best makeup artist in town, you also got the best BFF.

As a person that never wears make up on a daily basis, I was really worried about my wedding day considering it’s a must for nice pictures and I always touch my face.
But Merry was amazing! My make up stayed on the ENTIRE day without any need for touching up; most important though – I didn’t feel it on my face and she used products that were great for sensitive and acne prone skin. I had tried other make up artists before meeting Merry, and I can honestly say her skill and expertise in the industry sets her apart from all other bridal make up artists out there!
All the best,
Aimee Soon Shiong
