About

2026 booked are closed- NOW BOOKING 2027.

My passion for beauty has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Growing up with sensitive skin, I learned early on the importance of quality skincare and makeup, thanks to my mother, who was (and still is) devoted to her morning and evening routines.

As a teenager, I immersed myself in the beauty world, spending countless hours flipping through Allure, Elle, and Vogue, soaking up everything I could about makeup and skincare. This fascination set the stage for what would become my career.

While studying at Russell Sage College in Troy, NY (go Purple Cows!), I became the go-to makeup and hair artist for formals and events. Being at an all-woman’s college provided me with endless opportunities to practice and refine my skills. The communication and business acumen I developed during those years seamlessly translated into building my own business, which is now thriving in its 13th year.

While working full-time in the corporate world, I continued my education and in May 2018, I graduated from the 600-hour Advanced Esthetics program at the Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics. I am now a licensed Esthetician in MA, NH, and CT. I’m currently based in North Reading, MA, but I’m always ready to travel—whether by car, train, plane, or boat (I’ve done them all!).

The perfect wedding vendor

I highly recommend working with Veronica! After an allergy test showed reactions to fragrances and other common topical ingredients, I was overwhelmed with analyzing ingredient labels and how to restart my routine in preparation for my wedding. I tried, and threw away, countless products. Luckily, I came across Veronica's website and was comforted by her personal experience with sensitive skin and her esthetician background. I also loved how her portfolio featured all different types of skin and face shapes.

I started with a 1:1 makeup lesson with Veronica and it changed everything. It was amazing to talk to an expert and pick her brain about products, tools, and application techniques. By the end of our session, I had a list of safe-for-me products and a detailed skincare and makeup application routine. I felt pretty. My confidence in makeup application soared and I knew Veronica was the right person to help me on my wedding day.

Veronica is the definition of professionalism. She had all the details locked down and I never had to worry. I was in good hands! For the bridal trial, we had a constructive discussion about my desired bridal makeup style and it turned out better than I could've imagined. She is truly an artist. The day-of was also executed perfectly. Again, zero stress because Veronica is incredibly professional and calm. I was so happy with my wedding makeup -- it lasted through a warm July day filled with lots of dancing and hugging. It was perfect.

Best Vendor!

I was the maid of honor for a wedding and was so impressed by Veronica I just needed to write this review on all platforms! I have been in several weddings and Veronica is by far the most attentive, caring, talented vendor I have encountered. Her attention to detail and cleanliness were top notch. She also stayed well into family photos to ensure our bride was all set with her touch ups, helping to adjust her train and veil - actions way outside of what she was hired to do. The final touch of leaving the bride with a touch up kit with instructions for makeup removal was just so sweet! Can't recommend her enough!

Amazing makeup!

I cannot say enough good things about Veronica! We did a phone consult in January, a trial in June and my wedding in December and the entire process was so smooth! Veronica is insanely talented and I was obsessed with my makeup, and also hardly had to do any touch ups! She is so sweet and amazing at what she does. The communication was seamless and I was not stressed at all because she truly knows what she is doing. Highly recommend if you are able to work with her! Another perk is she is an esthetician so gives amazing skincare advice, which is key to your makeup looking great!

Perfection!

As someone who wears minimal makeup on the day to day and was traumatized by the last time I got my makeup professionally done as an Asian woman - I cannot reccomend Veronica enough! From her communications leading up to my trial and the big day she made sure I felt comfortable with the process and made sure I felt my best on the day.

There were concerns I had going in of wanting to look natural but my best and my eyemakeup in particular - she did a FANTASTIC job at getting my look down to perfection.

We had 8 people total (myself, MOB, MOG, 4 bridesmaids and 1 jr bridesmaid) and Veronica & Shannon arrived right on schedule and got through all of us with time to spare.

I cannot thank her enough for making me feel my best on one of the most important days of my life !

Hire Veronica—You Won't Regret It!

Veronica was an absolute delight to work with!! As a gay couple, it was important to us to find inclusive and diverse vendors for our wedding, and Veronica always made us feel comfortable and seen.

We hired her services for our moms and ourselves, and she approached the whole process with care, enthusiasm, calm, and expertise. Her understanding of skincare and health was as important as her artistry—she didn't just make us look good, but she paid attention to each of our unique needs and chose products that left us feeling as good as we looked.

None of our party normally wears makeup, so we wanted to just look natural but elevated, and Veronica did that exceptionally well.

Makeup doesn't just need to be for young brides! If you're a man or mature woman questioning whether to hire Veronica—do it!! All of us were thrilled with her and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

A stress-free wedding day IS possible!

Working with Veronica was a dream. I opted for a trial with her, which I highly recommend. She tailored the work specifically for me, used some of my everyday makeup, and was extremely professional. She was also super personable with my bridal party. My makeup turned out beautifully, and I felt like myself but better!

Incredible Makeup Artist!

I used Veronica as the make-up artist for my wedding in July 2025. She was incredible! From the start, she was easy to communicate with and she responded quickly to emails. Veronica was very professional and knowledgeable during the make-up trial and walked me through each step of putting together my bridal look for my wedding day. She took my ideas, gave some suggestions, and made everything work with my skin and color scheme. On wedding day, Veronica arrived early to set up and completed all of the make-up looks for the bridal party with a second make-up artist. She was very easy to talk to and she was able to edit anything about the look that you wanted changed in the moment. I elected to have Veronica stay to do touch-ups after my first look at the venue. She was amazing and went above and beyond to support me during the getting ready process and touching up my make-up along the way. Veronica did everything possible to help make my wedding day magical!

Freckled brides: look no further!

I came to Veronica with absolutely no idea what I wanted or needed and she nailed everything. All I had to tell her was that I love my freckles and she came up with the most stunning look. I have never felt more beautiful in my life. All of my bridesmaids commented how much fun it was getting ready with her and her second artist, Shannon, and everyone loved how they looked. She made it so easy and perfect! Freckled and non-freckled brides alike - you cannot go wrong by hiring Veronica!
