I had the privilege to have Vanessa do my hair and makeup for my Son’s wedding. It turned out more beautiful than expected! My hair was beautiful and stayed in place throughout the wedding ceremony. Let me tell you about my makeup, I am 61 and she made me look so fabulous. My husband told me all night how beautiful I looked. There was no smudging and lasted all night. I would definitely recommend her for any occasion. She did a fabulous job and very patient and professional.

Vanessa is absolutely amazing. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Very professional and she got me in last minute. She did a beautiful job with my hair. She was very fun to talk to and her studio is everything. 10/10. I absolutely loved her up do she did for me.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Vanessa to get my makeup done for a wedding. Vanessa went above and beyond with accommodating her time to meet early with me (being that the wedding was very early morning). Her makeup process is a work of art. I felt amazing, beautiful and got so many compliments. Sitting in the makeup chair, Vanessa made me feel so at ease, listened with patience and took the time to understand my makeup needs and perfect the look I wanted. It was so wonderful to chat, and learn about her journey into the world of the art. Her salon is the most coolest salon you will ever have the pleasure to sit in. Vanessa was personable yet professional during the entire process. Highly Recommended A++

Vanessa did my hair and make up, as well as my daughter‘s hair and make up, for my daughter‘s wedding. She was extremely professional, talented, kind, and informative. She listened to what I wanted and gave me great suggestions based on her knowledge and experience. I don’t typically wear a lot of make up so it was very important to me that I didn’t look overdone. My results were perfect and natural. I received a lot of compliments on both my hair and make up. My daughter’s hair and make up was absolutely incredible! She looked perfect, stunning, and natural all at the same time. If the opportunity rises, I will definitely reach out to Vanessa again.

Vanessa did both my hair and makeup for a gala! I was thrilled with the finished product!! She was extremely professional and so much fun to chat with. She knew all the right questions to ask to make sure my look was exactly what I wanted. If you are looking for a flawless hair and makeup experience in the absolute cutest room Vanessa is your girl! I will definitely be back next time I have an event!

I had the pleasure of having my makeup done by Vanessa for a wedding where I was a bridesmaid, and I am absolutely thrilled with the experience! Not only did she do an incredible job with my makeup, but she was also such a joy to work with. She made me feel so comfortable, and her sweet, outgoing personality really made the whole experience enjoyable.My makeup was flawless—she knew exactly how to highlight my features, and it was the perfect balance of glamorous and natural. It stayed looking fresh all day, even through photos, dancing, and a few tears! I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for the occasion. I’ll definitely be recommending her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and friendly makeup artist. Truly a wonderful experience!

So very thankful that a former bridal client told us about Vanessa! We used Vanessa for my daughter’s photo shoot and she knocked it out of the park! She kept things natural and accentuated all the right things while creating and polished and classy look!! Her hair services were EPIC as well and the curls lasted for several days! Vanessa is kind and welcoming and the entire experience was so much fun! We will be using Vanessa again and recommending her to our friends 💕💕💕

My daughter and I could not be more thrilled with our Sunday afternoon session with Vanessa in preparation for our family beach photos? I look 15 years younger!! We look natural and photo ready. Can’t wait to see her again and learn so many more tips too!!

Pure magic! Vanessa is truly an artist. The attention to detail, the blending, the choice of colors, her studio - absolute perfection! My makeup lasted all night and looked stunning in every light. She also did my hair exactly as I wanted it. If you’re looking for someone who understands beauty on a whole other level, she’s the one. She also is the sweetest person. We became instant friends. Cannot recommend her enough!

I had the pleasure of having Vanessa do my hair and makeup for my family photo shoot, and she did an absolutely amazing job! She listened to exactly what I wanted, enhancing my features while keeping the look natural and flawless. My makeup lasted all day, and I felt so confident in front of the camera. More importantly, she made me feel truly beautiful—not just a busy mom, verrrryyyyy tired from work and toddlers, but glamorous and radiant. Beyond her talent, Vanessa is also incredibly kind, professional, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled makeup artist. Vanessa is truly an artist and the best in the business. I wish I lived in Sarasota so she could do my makeup all the time!! Cherry on top, she’s such a vibrant light to be around and her energy is Infectious. Talent, artistry and personality unmatched! Thank you, Vanessa!

Review 13 (2025-02-20 - Rating: 5)
My son got married in Sarasota & I went to Vanessa for my wedding hair & makeup along with my daughter who was a bridesmaid. She did an amazing job & really spent a lot of time talking to me about what I envisioned my hair & makeup to be for the wedding. I was a bit nervous because I’m not used to having my makeup professionally done & Vanessa put me at ease & made the experience wonderful! My makeup lasted throughout the day & evening, even through all my tears of joy ❤️

Review 14 (2025-02-04 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa is so talented! She has done my make up on a few occasions and I’m always happy with the results. She really understands how to apply a night look versus a day look (depending on the event) and highlights your natural beauty. Also, she is just a joy to be around so she makes the entire experience entertaining with her big personality and awesome sense of humor.

Review 15 (2025-02-24 - Rating: 5)
This is probably the sixth time Vanessa has done my makeup for various events. This past weekend she did my makeup for a Y2K themed event. She nailed the style with Smokey blue, metallic hues and frosty pink lips. I loved my makeup so much and received so many compliments. The quality of makeup that she uses is top shelf. It is so high quality that it will last the next day and never leaves my skin irritated or broken out. My lipstick and eye makeup was still on the next morning!!! The next day, I even Re-did my eyeshadow for a second event I had and left the lashes on that she had put on the day before. Her lashes WILL stay on and they are VERY comfortable. In fact, here we are more than 48 hours after she put them on and I have worked out, showered twice and I am still wearing them!!! I highly recommend Loch Nessa Makeup Creations as your next makeup artist. Photos below are left: at her studio. Right: the next day with her lashes still on

If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is professional, friendly, and incredibly talented, Loch Nessa Makeup Creations is the perfect choice! Vanessa recently worked her magic on my 17-year-old daughter, who isn’t exactly easy to please—and the results were nothing short of perfection. Vanessa’s ability to understand her preferences and create a look that was both flawless and tailored to her style was beyond impressive.Vanessa’s professionalism and warm personality made the entire experience enjoyable, even for my picky teen! Her attention to detail and expertise turned what could have been a stressful process into an unforgettable one. I can’t recommend Loch Nessa Makeup Creations highly enough—Vanessa truly has a gift!

I had my makeup done for a gala and it turned out absolutely stunning! I brought her a picture of what I was looking for, and she executed the job beautifully! She also did my hair and same. I brought her a picture and she did exactly what I wanted! I highly recommend Vanessa and cannot wait to use her again!!

Review 18 (2025-03-08 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa was my make up artist for my wedding in October 2024. Not only is she amazingly talented but she has the best energy which is what you need on your most special but also stressful day. My skin was a hot mess for my wedding day and she was able to cover all blemishes and my make up was perfect all night even in 80 plus degrees. If you are trying to decide who to book for your special day, book her immediately. My bridesmaids and Mom also raves about their make up too!

Review 19 (2025-01-08 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and went above and beyond to make sure that I felt comfortable in my own skin! She is the absolute best makeup artist and sweetest soul. Highly recommend!!

Vanessa is fantastic. 3 of us went together for a make up tutorial session We learned so many tips and techniques and had the very best time! . Vanessa would apply the make up on one side, teaching us the proper technique and colour choice , then we tried ourselves on the other side. We looked and felt very special. We would highly recommend Vanessa, she is a delight.

Review 21 (2024-02-06 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was perfect! You tell her what you would like and she does it but even better than you could even imagine. She also has such a fun personality that makes everything better! I recommend her to everyone because she is so GREAT!!

Vanessa always makes my vision come to reality when I need her too! No matter what type or event I’m going to, I always walk away feeling happy and feeling glamorous! Vanessa is so talented and she is so passionate about her work. I highly recommend Vanessa to help me achieve my look for that special event.

Review 23 (2024-09-26 - Rating: 5)
Do you know when you find THAT person and you’re like…”OMG this is what I’ve been looking for!! Hallelujah!” That’s how I felt the moment that Vanessa started talking to me at my first appointment..and I felt even better after she started doing my hair and makeup. I felt like she made me look sooooo amazing for my Halloween themed baby shower. She did everything exactly as I was wanting it to be done. She even exceeded my detailed expectations. She’s absolutely incredible and I’m sooooo happy I found her. I got so many compliments throughout the night. Even with me previously feeling like a sloppy pregnant lady before coming to see her…she legit made me feel so so sexy after!! Do not hesitate to go see her!!!

Review 24 (2024-01-08 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa has done my make up for years. She recently did my make up for my baby shower and exceeded my already great expectations. I felt so beautiful & got compliments all day long! She did exactly what I asked her for, my make up stayed all day long through rain, then hot sun and all night for dinner. I didnt want to wash it off because it still looked so perfect at the end of the day! Would highly recommend her to anyone. Actually had a few of my friends book her after they saw my make up and loved it. Weddings, maternity shoots, special occasions, etc. she can do it all!!

Review 25 (2025-03-02 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa is wonderful! Not only is she kind and funny, she slayed my look! I had my hair and makeup done for a big event. She nailed the old Hollywood look! Great job! 👏 Book ahead as she fills up!

Vanessa is the best of the best! She and her assistant did an amazing job at the trial and the day of the wedding. She is very professional and communicative, which makes her a dream to work with! The makeup lasted the whole day and I didn’t have to worry about it. 💖💖💖💖

Vanessa is hands down, the most talented hair & makeup artist - and wonderful human - in Sarasota. She listens to exactly what youre looking for, customizes it to your skin tone & her work is phenomenal. Shes done holiday party makeup, professional headshot hair & makeup and nails every look Ive asked for - from super glam to professional! The only thing I get upset about....is having to wash her work off at night before bed 😂 -- even after a 18 hour day, my hair & makeup still looked fresh!!

Review 29 (2024-11-07 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa is awesome!! I reached out at last minute for makeup & hair and she was able to fit me in quickly. She is a true professional with great talent. She made me look beautiful for our event.

I can’t say enough about how amazing Vanessa was! She did my hair & makeup for my engagement pictures! she was so personable and thorough when asking and deciding what look I was going for, and she NAILED it!! If you are considering booking her, just DO IT! :)

Review 31 (2024-11-14 - Rating: 5)
Will be using Vanessa for all of my makeup services! She’s so fun, talented, and efficient. I could have worn the makeup for 5 days and it would have stayed in place! She colored matched my skin perfectly. Definitely recommend.

Review 32 (2024-05-28 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa is above and beyond! She did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos and welcome party, and also mine and my mom’s makeup for my wedding day (pics of the 3 days included). All completely different looks and she did an incredible job every single time. She takes the time to get to know what you want, and then will make suggestions so that it works with your natural features leaving you looking and feeling like a beauty queen. Make up lasts all day and night. I absolutely love and adore Vanessa. She is the best in the biz!

Review 33 (2024-04-21 - Rating: 5)
The absolute greatest! Not only is she super talented at makeup and hair, but she has the best personality and positive energy that make the entire experience even better. I brought my daughter to get glammed up for prom and she left looking and feeling like an absolute star.⭐️ Not all heroes wear capes, and Vanessa was definitely my hero for helping my daughter feel extra special on such a special day in her life.

Review 34 (2024-10-23 - Rating: 5)
In 2022 I was in my best friends wedding and Vanessa did our makeup. I have NEVER felt more beautiful then I did that day. She did an amazing job and was so personable! Still to this day I look back on the pictures and think how lucky I was to be in her chair and to have had the most amazing experience becoming a princess. THANK YOU Vanessa!

Review 35 (2023-06-29 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa was a dream to work with! She gave so many helpful tips and tricks to find the perfect look for my wedding! We discussed the look I wanted, natural glam, and she executed it perfectly at my trial and then again on my wedding day! She and her assistant Taylor listened and took notes of each one of my bridesmaids, my mother-in-law and my mother for the looks they wanted on the day of and she was able to adapt quickly and everyone looked incredible! I just hope I have another fun event coming up to where I can get my makeup done again 😍

Vanessa did my headshot make up and I felt amazing! We did our head shots outside in the florida humidity, and it stayed on me no problem even with me blotting some sweat here and there before photos. Could not have asked for a better natural glow look for my photos!

Review 46 (2023-09-25 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa is insanely talented, amazing to work with, and makes you look your absolute best. I had a blast at my bridaltrial and was so excited to see her again on my wedding day. Vanessa is responsive, communicative via emails and texts, and a calming presence during what can be a wild day. She knows exactly how to enhance everyone’s natural beauty and delivers. Not only does she deliver, my face stayed put through a first look in FL sun and a night full of dancing and sweating. I would not look any further and email her to book. She willnot disappoint! Thank you Vanessa 💕

Review 47 (2025-02-05 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa did my make up for my wedding day and I couldn’t say enough amazing about her. Previously being a make up artist, I had high standards for the most important day of my life and she exceed my expectations and my dreams. She listened and gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for and the pricing is extremely well priced for her talent and professionalism!!! She vibed with our group, laughed with us, and made the atmosphere feel exactly how I dreamed it would. Words can’t describe how much I adored meeting her, adored her work, and just her!!!!!! Don’t hesitate to hire Lochnessa Makeup Creations for your next event, your face will thank you!

Review 48 (2024-03-14 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa does amazing work. She is so talented and very nice. I had a last minute event and needed full glam makeup. She accommodated me with under 24 hr notice and made me look so glamorous for the gala I had to attend. I received a ton of compliments. I am so picky with my makeup and she did not disappoint. I am so glad I found my local, go to makeup artist in Sarasota.

Review 49 (2023-11-16 - Rating: 5)
I don’t even know where to begin-Vanessa is an absolute pleasure to work with. I am not used to having my makeup done professionally, so I am picky when it comes to strip lashes or over the top makeup. Her personality immediately makes you feel comfortable the moment you sit in her chair.She doesn’t do cookie cutter makeup that just looks good on anyone- she is an artist and truly gears her work to each individual sitting in her chair to enhance their beauty. She took the time to connect with me, know what was important for my hair/makeup and blew me away. We did a trial and I knew she was the perfect match for my wedding day. I loved her so much that I also had her do my rehearsal makeup!!For both events, my makeup lasted all night without requiring a single touch up- even in the Florida heat. I couldn’t have possibly felt any more confident going into my wedding day.10/10 recommend her for any and all makeup or hair needs!!🥰

Review 50 (2023-09-05 - Rating: 5)
From her professionalism and artistic talent to her bubbly personality and ability to connect with humans, Vanessa did an INCREDIBLE job on such a special day. She was the MUA for my best friends wedding (and did both the bride/brides family as well as the entire bridal party - including myself). Not only did we LOOK amazing; but we also FELT amazing working with Vanessa (which to me, is equally as important as the makeup itself). She was sweet and funny and made us feel super comfortable, allowing us to have a great, stress free time together while getting ready. She listened to exactly what each of us wanted out for our looks and performed exceptionally! Thank you Vanessa!

Review 51 (2023-11-12 - Rating: 5)
The website says it all, Vanessas work and her studio is as glamorous as her! I loved how she took her time creating my daughters look and in such a lovely studio. Her makeup application was perfect and the base was flawless and all makeup stayed on until she got home and washed it off after dancing and a night out. She took pictures as well which felt vip and offered to let her friend slide in to get her eyes done too. Highly recommend and will be back!

Review 52 (2023-03-20 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa started off strong with my bridal trial. She took exactly what I explained I wanted and made me feel so beautiful. I dont typically wear makeup so I wanted something that looked natural and Vanessa did just that.Come wedding day, I couldnt have been happier. Vanessa and her crew collectively did mine and 7 other girls makeup. They all looked SO beautiful & I felt like a princess. They were all so sweet & fun. They were a pleasure to be around on such an important day. I would recommend Vanessa 100 times over.

Review 53 (2024-02-02 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa has done my makeup for my engagement shoot, wedding, & nights out on the town. She’s the person I think of when it comes to getting my makeup done.

Review 54 (2023-11-12 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. She made me so comfortable - I am very flinchy with watery eyes and she knew exactly how to deal with it. I gave her my inspiration photo with license to make it her own and she did a fabulous job. Highly recommend!

Vanessa is the absolute best!! She’s so sweet & makes your experience so much fun! I was blown away with how amazing my makeup looked. She has unparalleled professionalism and skill. I received so many compliments after seeing Vanessa. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!!

Vanessa was incredible! She came highly recommended and definitely delivered. She was professional and really listened to the type of makeup I like to make sure I was comfortable. The makeup lasted all night during my photos on the beach. I get compliments every time someone sees the photos!

I would highly recommend. We flew into Sarasota to get married and she done a wonderful job on my make up and hair. She was on time. She made me beautiful for my wedding day and I can’t thank her enough. Very reasonable price and the experience was over the top.

Review 58 (2023-10-23 - Rating: 5)
Absolutely loved my wedding makeup!! Vanessa did a great job of doing exactly what I envisioned, and I was impressed with how it truly lasted all day, even outside in the Florida heat! She also did my grandma’s makeup, who had some facial bruising from dental work. She completely made the bruising disappear, and of course her makeup looked great beyond the bruise coverup too :) So grateful to have found Vanessa!

Review 59 (2023-12-06 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa is amazing! She did my hair and makeup for a holiday party. She glammed me up and I felt beautiful. Even though the only opening she had for my makeup was at noon for a 6pm party-- it lasted all night until after the party ended. I received countless compliments on my eyes and lashes! Definitely will use her services again! I highly recommend Loch Nessa Makeup Creations!!!

Review 60 (2024-03-18 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa did an amazing job on my wedding trial. I tried going to 2 other artists and was about to give up and do my own wedding makeup when I found Vanessa! She listened to what I was looking for and DELIVERED to a T! The makeup lasted all day and I was out in the sun most of the day. Hands down THE BEST!

Review 61 (2024-01-09 - Rating: 5)
Vanessa did an AMAZING job on my makeup! I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup so I wanted more of a natural glam and she exceeded my expectations! The makeup she used felt so lightweight/breathable on my face and the lashes were to die for!!! I NEVER wear falsies and I was super hesitant because I actually love my regular eyelashes but she encouraged me to try out one of the natural sets and I’m so glad I did! She recommended them because they will make your eyes pop more in the photos and they definitely did! I thought they would annoy me but I could barely feel them and they were so easy to remove at the end of the night. My makeup lasted me all day long with no smudging and no “cakey” feeling. Let’s also mention, I’m a mom to a toddler so I was chasing him around all day and our engagement photoshoot was outside and I had ZERO problems with my makeup! I got so many compliments on the photos and it’s all thanks to Vanessa! My fiancé was so impressed and even vocalized how great of a job he thought she did! Vanessa’s studio and her whole vibe is totally unmatched! I seriously couldn’t recommend her more!!!! She’s personable, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional at what she does! I booked her to do my hair and makeup for our wedding in February and I am so looking forward to it!

Review 62 (2024-07-31 - Rating: 5)
Had my hair and make-up done for a family photo session and can’t say enough great things about my experience. She made sure I knew exactly what I wanted and we were both on the same page before she even started. She took the time to get to know me and made it a very easy and fun process. I loved the finished product and felt the most beautiful I’ve felt in a long time. 10/10 would book with her again ❤️

Vanessa is an amazing artist! My daughter and I had our hair and makeup done for her college graduation party 8/12/23 which turned out to be the hottest day on record in Lakewood ranch. Despite the melting temperatures, our hair and makeup looked amazing for over 12 hours. Vanessa is not only an amazing artist but also a joy to work with and we are already booked for future events!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you want to feel absolutely beautiful and love your entire look you have to have Vanessa do your hair and makeup! She is absolutely amazing.

Not enough good things to say about this make up artist! To start off, She got me in LAST MINUTE. She was ready to start her day, bright and early, and was so happy to see me; even though this was the first time meeting her! Super sweet, easy to work with. And knows her stuff!!! Make up came out AMAZING. It lasted ALL night long. Would highly recommend! And then she also did my daughter’s makeup. Definitely coming back again!

If you and your tribe want to feel and look like princesses- Vanessa is your girl💙. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and I was so confident going in, because we had a great trial ahead of time. She immediately nailed the look I wanted. Not only is she a fabulous and talented artist, but she was so much fun to work with and has such a positive attitude. Highly recommend, 10/10.

Vanessa did my engagement photoshoot makeup in September 2022. She is so talented, she pays attention to what the clients really wants! She made me feel comfortable and I loved how my makeup look after several hours specially since the weather was humid that day! I love her work so much that she will be doing my bridal/bridesmaids makeup this year for my wedding!!

Vanessa is incredible. She is a miracle worker and magician in what she does! She is also so sweet. I was having a rough morning before a photoshoot and she not only listened but made me feel and look so beautiful. She is such an amazing person! I barely wear makeup and she completely understood the look I wanted for the photoshoot. I loved when she showed me the mirror. Definitely highly highly recommend with as many stars as I can!

I have followed Vanessa on social media for years but never had my make up done by her until this past weekend. WOW!!! I was so obsessed! I saved some inspo pics of a soft glam I liked from Pinterest and she did exactly what I asked for. My make up stayed all day long through the hot sun and sweat during my photoshoot. I didnt want to wash it off because it still looked so perfect at the end of the day. I would highly recommend Vanessa for any special occasion glam. She’s AMAZING!!

Amazing ! This was my first time with Vanessa and I can’t say enough good things about her. I was beyond happy with my hair and make up. She did a great job and is really an awesome person. Can’t wait to use her for future events !

Vanessa made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt! I don’t wear a lot of make up normally, so I told her I was nervous I wouldn’t feel like myself. She immediately put me at ease, and on my wedding day I felt like the BEST version of me. She made sure everything felt just right at our trial. She was so kind and responsive to my requests for tiny changes. She remembered all of the details we discussed at the trial, and the wedding day makeup was just perfect! I also can’t believe how well my makeup stayed put! I danced the night away and I was absolutely sparkling with sweat. However, my makeup was perfect even through the after party. I don’t know how she does it, but she is a magician with those brushes. The products she used left my skin feeling silky smooth. They were weightless. I forgot I was wearing makeup until I looked in the mirror. Thank you, Vanessa! You are exceptional at what you do, and you make the getting ready process stress free and fun!

Ive worked with Vanessa on a number of different occasions from black-tie galas to holiday party for my hair and makeup. Each and every time I felt like a total Rockstar after leaving. I couldnt be happier with the results. She listened to my requests and offered helpful suggestions based on my skin type. She made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. She used high-quality products and took her time to ensure that my makeup looked absolutely flawless. I received so many compliments on my makeup throughout the evening and it stayed in place despite the heat and humidity. Overall, I highly recommend Vanessa for makeup and hair services if you want to look and feel absolutely glamourous. She is talented, professional, and truly cares about her clients.

We had THE BEST makeup experience with Vanessa and her glam squad! They were fun, professional, calm, and organized. It’s rare you get more than 2 of those qualities but these girls knocked it out of the park! All 15 of our makeup was gorgeous 😍

I booked with Vanessa for the first time for my baby shower and I was so impressed I rebooked with her for my maternity shoot! Being 8 months pregnant and having tears at my shower, and being hot and sweaty in Florida my makeup was like bullet proof. It looked the same at 9:00 at night as it did at 12:00 when it was done! And my husband even made a comment about how solid my makeup looked! I highly recommend Vanessa for any professional makeup look! 😊

Vanessa is super personable - and her work makes me feel like a princess! Whether I want to enhance my look or am looking for a total glam transformation, she’s my girl. Every time I’m in the area, I book her for all my makeup needs. I wish I lived in the same city so she could style my look for every girls’ night out! Thankfully she’s given me lessons so I can apply some of her tips myself.

I have been following Vanessa on IG for years! I love her personality, her positivity, her TALENT behind the makeup brushes. I was gifted a 1on1 for Mothers Day and was beyond excited!Everything about my experience was FANTASTIC. I am what I would consider “toddler” level when it came to applying make up. She was so patient and fun showing me the techniques and products to apply for my skin type. I was embarrassed at some points that I didn’t know what I was doing correctly and she instantly could feel my vibe and with such positivity & reassurance, she had my confidence up and my technique down!She takes her time and really listens to what you want to take out of your session with her!I can’t wait to go home and just practice all the things I learned today!She made me feel beautiful and I love her for that!
