The first time I met Madge was during my last week of wedding preparations. Nearing the wedding date, I was already committed to another make-up artist. Unfortunately, the trial make-up didn’t look natural in the photos so Jong (my photographer) brought me to Madge for consultation. I didn’t know make-up was complicated until I met Madge. What color/s would be used to perfectly match my skin tone? Is my skin acidic? Am I allergic? Wow, I really haven’t thought of that before because all the other artists I met didn’t bother to explain and test. All I know about make-up is putting on a face powder and dabbing a bit of lipstick. Thanks to Madge’s valuable advice, I was able to buy the right stuff, which I used for my wedding and up to now.
