In the meantime, LJ delights her fans with a peek into her prenuptial photo shoot in the enchanting city of New York.
On July 18, 2023, Mikka Marcaida, LJ’s make-up artist, uploaded a couple of photos showing the glammed-up actress.
Mikka captioned her post with: "Glossy and glassy for our bride to be"
LJ responded in the comments section, playfully, "Thank you so much Mikka!!! Napaganda mo ang haggard na mommy [laughing emoji] so excited for THE day [heart emoji]"
The mother-of-two wrapped in a pastel pink fleece robe truly exuded radiance, her eyes bright with happiness.
The delicate pink palettes on LJ's cheeks, lips, and eye make-up, well complemented the glass finish of her skin, giving her a youthful and fresher overall aura.
The final glam look was the lovely creation of Mikka and hairstylist to the stars, Mark Baquiran, who was also tapped as part of LJ's glam team for her next big milestone.
Mark wrote in a post a day later, "Beautiful bride to be @lj_reyes and can’t wait for your big day. [emojis] I am honored to do your hair."
A blissful LJ replied, "I’m so happy that you’re doing my hair— THE MARK BAQUIRAN lol [laughing emoji] thanks bessy!!!
"And I’m so happy you will be there with Jay."
