    Vesta was amazing!! She came out to help us on extremely short notice and did a fantastic job. Our photos came out fabulously. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

    I planned a Marriage Celebration for my daughter via long distance and based my decision to use Vesta on online reviews - when you plan something like this long distance, internet usage becomes a necessity. What a wonderful experience! She was so much more than I expected. I explained our visions for what each of us wanted and gave her as much detail about ourselves as I thought would help. As soon as we met on the day of the event, I immediately felt that we were in good hands. My daughter wanted a hollywood glamour Marilyn Monroe look, while I wanted more of an Indian wedding look and she gave us exactly what we requested. She eased my daughter's mind regarding the airbrush technique, which I just loved! Our affair lasted 24 hours, from the moment of her last brush stroke until we finally went to bed. Through all those hours of rushing about, photography, dancing, sweating, eating, drinking, even smoking, our makeup remained perfect without even a reapplication of lipstick! Her experience is top shelf New York City, celebrities - and yet, she is so low key and humble about it all, so sweet and relatable. I feel that we got a tremendous value for what I consider a very reasonable price.

    Vesta G. from Vesta replied to this review on May 8, 2012:

    Raquel, was such a beautiful person in and out. We decided to go for the glamor look for her, mother of the bride, and of course Christina, the bride. She was so inspiring and turned out so beautiful for Christina's big day. I loved her family, all of them very so respectful and caring to one another and me as their vendor. I felt so much part of their day and left with such a great memory. Wish all the best Raquel!

    Vesta Goodarz was an excellent make-up artist. She arrived on time and with a full kit as we agreed upon. Vesta's make-up skills in creating the avant garde/giesha look was perectly executed, and moreover, the complex design was applied very quickly. I will certainly call upon Vesta again for make-up needs in the future.
