Although only starting her career formally in 2008, she has since made up the famous faces of local celebrities such as Ms. Jean Garcia, Carla Abellana, Geoff Eigenmann, Bianca King, & Daiana Menezes, among others. Isabel has also been prettifying an ever-growing number of brides and debutantes from local and international locations as far as California and Hawai'i in the United States. Despite her small size and child-like looks, her talent, perseverance, and professionalism have allowed Isabel to steadily advance her career. She was invited to be a guest makeup artist and speaker for Paul & Joe during the Paris-based makeup line's various events in 2010. |

In 2011, Isabel served as the sole makeup artist of Ms. Jean Garcia for the multi-awarded Cinemalaya film "Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa". She also, at times, stepped in as makeup artist to actors Rocco Nacino & Paolo Avelino. In her 3 years in the industry, Isabel has worked with the likes of celebrity fashion & advertising photographers Xander Angeles & Jay Tablante, as well as international award-winning film director Alvin Yapan. Since she was younger, Isabel has been fascinated with how makeup can transform a face--any face--into something beautiful. Her love of makeup started early, sneaking her mom's lipstick out of the dresser & applying it on her nanny's face. At the tender age of 7, she was given her beloved first tube of lipstick from Sanrio, & it seems she never looked back. |
After graduating with a Business Management degree from Ateneo de Manila University & almost a decade of working in the advertising & marketing industry, she finally decided to formally pursue her true passion. Isabel graduated with a Certificate in Makeup Artistry from the prestigious Center for Aesthetic Studies in Makati City, where she was mentored by professional makeup gurus Jen Delica, Jomar Nebriaga, & Mari Wild. She has attended professional workshops by international makeup artists organized by Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, MAC, and Paul & Joe Beaute.

Creativity has always been in Isabel's blood. Drawing life-like portraits since her elementary years, she uses her background in the arts to improve her craft. She draws inspiration from her clients--their personality, their inner beauty--and interprets this in the best way she can. |

"I'd like to think that I help you see yourself for the beautiful person you really are. Through the makeup I do, I encourage you to glow with the confidence you should have had in the first place. The best version of yourself will unfold and you'll never have a shy moment in front of the camera again."
