Vanessa was amazing! She was on time, quick, and produced amazing results both at my trial and day of (where she tackled seven make-up jobs!). I don't normally wear much make-up, but she helped me refine what I wanted. Day of, I had changed my mind about some of the things we did at the trial and she wasn't phased at all. Everyone in my wedding party was super thrilled with how they looked.

Vanessa's work was amazing. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and still felt like I looked like me. She came to my house for our trial and to our hotel to do my make up. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law all looked amazing. Vanessa knows how to bring out your best features without make you look too "made up"!

Thank you so much Vanessa you are wonderful to work with!

Vanessa did the makeup for my wedding in August and I loved everything about working with her. She was very easy to work with and did an amazing job with everyone's makeup. The airbrush makeup was so natural and literally stayed on all night and looked flawless. I love the way that my makeup and my bridemaid's makeup looked in person and in pictures. She took personal style into consideration and worked with everyone from my professional makeup artist bridesmaid to my sister who never wears makeup at all. Everyone was thrilled with the outcome. She even went so far as to apply my Grandma's own makeup for her so that she had a special wedding look too! Vanessa was very affordable and came to do our makeup at the hotel in San Francisco where we were getting ready which was a real plus. I would really recommend her to anyone who wants a professional makeup artist who is a joy to have around on your wedding day!

Vanessa is truely amazing. The way she did my makeup for my wedding, I couldn't be more happy. Everything was exactly how I wanted. I especially loved the darkness around my eyes, she did that perfectly. I'm totally going to use her again, I just need to figure out what for.

I have worked with Vanessa before when I hosted a spa party and she was fabulous then! I was recently in a wedding and Vanessa did my make up and I loved it! She listened to what we wanted and delivered! My make up stayed on all night!

Vanessa is a doll! She is a fantastic make up artist, she's funny and puts you at ease (all of the girls in the wedding LOVED her) and I can't imagine anyone else doing my makeup for my special day.
I booked a wedding trial a few months back - we set it up so that the trial coincided with my bridal shower, which just so happened to be in a house in South San Jose with no AC on one of the hottest days of the year! I thought my makeup was going to melt off, but a few hours and 2 buckets of sweat later, my makeup looked just as fresh as if Vanessa had just done it! Amazing! That pretty much sealed the deal.
On the wedding day, Vanessa did make up for me, my mom, and my two bridesmaids.
My bridesmaids looked gorgeous :) just how I wanted!
My mom NEVER wears makeup, and when I told her that I wanted her makeup done by Vanessa, she protested because she had never had anyone do her makeup the way that she liked. Vanessa gave her a super light and natural look, she looked so beautiful and I was so happy because my mom loved it.
For myself, I wanted an old style 1940's look: Winged liner, red lips,etc.
She listened and looked at the pictures I had brought her and did it exactly how I wanted!
Everyone who saw me got this starry look in their eyes and told me how absolutely beautiful I looked ... Let me just say that I am an okay looking girl but I felt like a princess on my wedding day. Vanessa was absolutely wonderful.
I recommend her to everyone who wants to look beautiful for their special event.

Vanessa is very responsive and professional. She responded to my email the same day I requested a qoute. She was also on time for the trial and was very prepared. She does an excellant job and I was really impressed with her airbrushing technique.

I am so happy with Sitting Pretty services! My makeup for my wedding was really good and it lasted the entire day. I am so glad that I found her because she did a great job on my face and it was very nice! My eyes were great the entire day-day and night which is wonderful for special days such as weddings. I plan to use her services in the future. I strongly recommend her for any type of special events and you will be glad to get your makeup done with her! It is airbrush makeup which his what many models actually wear all the time.. If you want to look great, contact her ASAP for your special events! Thanks so much Sitting Pretty for doing such a great job! Rosie
