I'm Isabel Arches and I'm a professional freelance makeup artist who has experience in film/cinema, TV, print advertising, editorials, and weddings.

I started working professionally in 2008, and have since made up the famous faces of local celebrities such as Ms. Jean Garcia, Carla Abellana, Geoff Eigenmann, Bianca King, & Daiana Menezes, among others. I have also prettified brides and debutantes from local and international locations such as California and Hawai'i in the United States.

I 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, I served as the sole makeup artist of Ms. Jean Garcia for the multi-awarded Cinemalaya film "Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa" ("The Dance of Two Left Feet"). I also stepped in as makeup artist to actors Rocco Nacino & Paolo Avelino. I have worked with the likes of celebrity fashion & advertising photographers Xander Angeles & Jay Tablante, as well as international award-winning film director Alvin Yapan.

After graduating with a Business Management degree from Ateneo de Manila University in 2003 & almost a decade of working in the advertising & marketing industry, I finally decided to formally pursue my true passion. In 2008, I graduated with a Certificate in Makeup Artistry from the Center for Aesthetic Studies in Manila. I have attended professional workshops by international makeup artists organized by Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, MAC, and Paul & Joe Beaute.

My rate depends on the project I am assigned. I am, however, open to doing work for trade (X-deals), provided I am not booked on the target date of your project, you discuss the concept in detail with me, & I am allowed to give creative input for makeup looks.

I lean towards more creative editorial work and I would love to collaborate with talented people here in Manila and possibly even outside the Philippines. Contact me for projects via email at [email protected]. Looking forward to working with you!
