About

Makeup is an art that evolves and changes from day to day. With this ever evolving craft, one aspect that will always stay constant is the desire of a woman to simply look and feel beautiful. Throughout my ten years of being a makeup artist I have worked for one of the world's leading cosmetic companies and have had the honor and privilege of working with some of the most world renown makeup artists on photo shoots, editorials, and ten seasons (and counting) of New York Fashion Week. Through all of my experiences I have learned to master the fine line of creating makeup looks that follow trends, look flawless, and are forever timeless. I work diligently to satisfy women's makeup needs by listening carefully, making them feel relaxed, and providing my expertise in the areas that I know best. An amazing makeup experience can enhance a person's inner soul and outer beauty and that is what I do for my clients each and every day.

We were so very pleased with Vannessa!! Most importantly, she did a fantastic job on everyone's makeup. Vanessa did bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and myself (bride). My mother, seriously, looked so good!! Vannessa knew just what to do to make everyone look like their best selves. My makeup stayed on perfectly for the 10+ hours I wore it. Above all, Vannessa was professional, and I loved that she smelled clean and fresh (which is so important when someone has to get up close and personal)!!

Vanessa was absolutely amazing the day of my wedding!! She was one of the few people that kept me calm and relaxed all leading up to the wedding. She made me feel and look absolutely gorgeous! Anytime that I have an event, I will hands down go to her for my make up. At our trial she was extremely accommodating and helped me decide what look I really wanted for my wedding. She has made me an even more devout MAC customer and I will make the trip to drive from my home in Connecticut to see her to either shop to get my makeup done for another event. She is the absolute best and truly made my day so much more relaxed knowing that the one thing I didn't have to worry about was how I was going to look on my special day! Love you Vanessa!

Vanessa was amazing and great to work with. She did my makeup for my brother's wedding a few months before my own wedding and immediately asked her if she was available for my wedding. She did an excellent job on my make-up as well as mom's and grandmothers' - all were great. She knew exactly what she was doing and had a great sense for what I wanted. Vanessa is very professional, sweet, and responsive. I would highly recommend her and definitely use her again if I ever need a make-up artist.

Vanessa did an amazing job with my make-up on my wedding day! I wanted a very natural look and she perfected exactly that. She was extremely flexible too, as my maid of honor decided at the last minute she would like to have her make-up done. She was professional, accommodating, and had such a positive and bubbly personality, which was a nice addition to the stressors of getting ready on your wedding day. I definitely recommend her services and promise you will be more than satisfied with her tremendous work.

I can't say enough about working with Vanessa. She was extremely professional and worked with me and each member of my bridal party to make sure we LOVED our makeup the day of the wedding. As soon as I met her at my makeup trial, I knew she would be a great fit for the "team". It is so important to feel relaxed and at ease on your wedding day. Vanessa fit right in and made us all feel beyond beautiful on a very special day.
THANK YOU!!

Vanessa is a true pleasure to work with!! She is so accommodating, professional & absolutely AMAZING at what she does!! At first, all of my bridesmaids were hesitant to get their makeup professionally done, but afterwards they could not believe how great they looked! We were SO pleased with how all of our makeup came out & I would highly recommend Vanessa for any occasion!!

Vanessa is the BEST make-up artist I have had the pleasure to work with. Not only did Vanessa do my make-up for my wedding, along w/Mother of the Bride and half of my bridal party, she also did make-up for me when I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and just did my sister's wedding last June. She has a great eye for making you look FABULOUS on your special day.
Ladies, it doesn't get much better than this.....I highly recommend Vanessa and will never use anyone else as long as I am making the choice!!!!!

Vanessa did my makeup (a bridesmaid) for my best friends wedding. She had over 9 woman to satisfy, within a restricted time limit mind you, and she made sure each of us got special treatment. She captures everyones personality and style while making them not only look beautiful but feel beautiful. She isn't overwhelming and truly listens to what you want. I still look back at the pictures and think we where the prettiest group of girls thanks to Vanessa (and I hope some natural beauty too!)
