Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a New York trained 6 times certified professional makeup artist specializing in airbrush applications. I recommend airbrush makeup over traditional applications because it takes half the time and long lasting plus its smudge proof and water/sweat resistant leaving you looking as beautiful as the moment it was applied no need for touch-ups. It also fills in fine lines and pores leaving a flawless finish without looking cakey as other makeups tend to do. I also do hairstyling, body painting, face painting and special-effects and have experience in all genres and media mediums. Whether the event be a wedding, commercial, film, fashion show, or even a birthday party I am a one woman stop.

We had a great experience with Vanessa and her team! My party needed hair and makeup for 9 (including moms and myself) so Vanessa brought two assistants to help. They were all so great and did an awesome job! I did a trial a few months earlier and was very happy with her work and pricing. I did a lot of searching for makeup and hair prior to hiring Vanessa and her pricing was definitely comparable or better than competitors. I appreciated that she threw in lashes for free for everyone (some pricing to add lashes is completely ridiculous!!!), she used airbrush makeup which looked great and lasted all day, and she also travelled to our venue which made everything so easy for all of us. My curls and makeup looked great all night despite humidity and getting rained on a little. My whole bridal party looked great even throughout sweating on the dance floor all night. We had a good time getting ready and everyone was happy with the way they looked! Definitely recommend!

She was wonderful. The event was our wedding on 10/25/14 She did makeup for myself, bridal party (5 ladies and 1 jr bridesmaid), mother the bride and the mother of the groom. Listened to everyone's likes/expectations. Did everyone's makeup in a timely manner. Makeup was flawless and the pictures prove it. Would recommend Her to brides with upcoming nuptials. Definately Worth spending the money on airbrush makeup for your big day!

Vanessa was wonderful! The value of her service was awesome. She was easy to contact and allowed me to come to her house to have my trial hair/makeup completed. Then she came to our reception venue to complete my bridal hair/makeup on the wedding day along with 2 bridesmaids' hair and make up. The quality was wonderful. My hair and makeup stayed perfect all day. Even through tearing up and kissing my new husband, my makeup looked flawless at midnight. Thank you so much Vanessa, I so appreciate your great service.
