A Passion for Makeup
Sabs Hernandez graduated from De La Salle-College of St. Benilde with a degree of BS-Hotel, Restaurant, and Institution Management in 2002 majoring in Culinary Arts (hot kitchen). She thought that a career as a chef was for her until she landed a job as a sales executive for The Marco Polo Davao Hotel. A year later, she realized that the hotel and restaurant industry wasn't where she really wanted to be, she transferred industries, working as a recruitment Team Leader in an executive search firm called, ZMG Ward Howell shortly after. Sabs stayed with the company for 11 months. Just before resigning from ZMG in 2004, she finally took the leap and got on fulfilling her long time passion, Makeup Artistry. |
Sabs has been a freelance makeup artist for 13 years now. She got her first degree in Professional Makeup Application (Bridal, TV and Photography Makeup) at the ICI Training Center-Frank Provost in 2004 (currently known as Center for Aesthetic Studies). Sabs' makeup degrees at Vogue It Is Beauty School in Hong Kong (basic and advance airbrush makeup training, skin care and advance makeup training on fashion and beauty with Dorothy Lam), and Khun Joe Cosmetology School in Bangkok (fashion and Black & White photography makeup) immediately followed. In 2007, she completed a short intensive course in Singapore at COSMOPROF (personal makeup/corrective makeup). Later that same year, she went back to Hong Kong to train for facials, and a more intensive course on corrective beauty makeup. |
In 2011, she went back to makeup school at CAS (Center for Aesthetic Studies) under the wings of her idol and mentor Ms. Jennie Delica for an advance and intensive training in High-Definition Makeup application techniques for the use of today's modern HD SLR cameras and HD Videos for weddings and commercials. This unique and complex technique is for close-up and tight beauty shots for the use of today's modern camera.
In 2006, Sabs was offered by one of Paris' cosmetic giants brand Lancôme Paris to fully sponsor her in exchange to do PR by carrying their name when she did editorial work and represent the brand in events, fashion shows, and other sponsored shoots. She stayed on with Lancôme Paris for 4 years. Realizing that her passion was to be in weddings, she concentrated in working with brides. Although weddings have been keeping her busy, Sabs still does magazine editorial, cover shoots and advertising. She has done makeup for quite a number for celebrities nationwide. John Lloyd Cruz' makeup artist for ASAP in 2007, and was Us Girls' makeup artist (Angel Aquino, Chesca Garcia and Iya Villania) that same year. Sabs also landed a short gig doing Richard and Raymond Gutierrez' makeup for a few episodes for the show SOP in 2007. |
In 2012, Sabs was appointed Beauty Editor by MEGA Magazine's online magazine, MegaStyle.ph but had to resign from the position only after 1 year due to conflict in her schedule. Presently, she is also the newly appointed beauty trainer for the Beauty Associates for Collection Cosmetics, UK. Sabs is now one of Metro Manila's A+ Bloggers, blogging on beauty, fashion, and lifestyle.
Sabs has been featured in quite a number of magazines and blogs. She has made a name for herself, known for her clean, natural, and enhancing makeup techniques. Some brides book with her 2 years before to ensure their wedding date. Now at age 37, she continues to beautify a number of celebrities/personalities and models, all over the Philippines making her one of the most sought after makeup artists in the country, dedicating most of her time beautifying brides.
