My first experience with Vanessa was when she was commissioned to do the makeup for the bridal party of one of my best friends. Let me say, she did an amazing job! A true professional, she started by asking me what I wanted and she used her expertise to make me look and feel amazing! Since then she has been my "go to" whenever I want to get dolled up for a special occasion or just for a fun night out. I recently hired her for my daughter's 9th birthday party where the theme was An Enchanted Forest. Vanessa set up a table and helped make all the little girls turn into precious little fairies! Needless to say, the girls absolutely loved it (they looked so cute standing in line awaiting their turn anxiously) and everyone looked great. Vanessa is great at what she does. She is efficient and listens to her clients for their specific wants and needs. I will definitely hire her again and always refer my friends to her services. read more

I used Vanessa this summer for make-up for my website photo shoot and she was incredible! She came to me and made sure that she was meeting all my needs accordingly. I loved that false lashes were included in the cost. She created a look that felt like me and responded so well to the camera! I continued to use her for lash extensions going forward. It's completely up-leveled my look and I'm constantly getting compliments. Even make-up artists tell me how good they are. I'm so grateful for Vanessa and the amazing work she does! read more

Just had another service by Vanessa. Her eyelashes are super soft. I like her technique of using short and long to increase the fullness. Thanks Vanessa! Your logo is super cute too. read more

Vanessa did my makeup for a last minute engagement shoot last December and it was great! She was friendly/accommodating, very professional, listed to what I wanted and did a great job! It was a perfectly glam, while also natural enough that I still looked like myself. I loved it! After my engagement shoot, we booked Vanessa and her team for my wedding this past April. Through Vanessa, we were able to book 22 makeup/hair services for the morning of the wedding. She was very responsive and communicating with her was a breeze. On the wedding day, her team was on time, finished early and everyone looked beautiful! My bridesmaids and our moms raved about how much they loved their makeup and hair... A lot of selfies going on! If you are looking for a reliable and talented makeup and hair team for your wedding or event, I highly recommend using Vanessa and her Bee Pretty Team! read more

Vanessa did such an amazing job making me and my special ladies feel beautiful on my wedding day this past October. I do not usually wear a ton of makeup and it was really important to me that I still felt like me during our wedding. We also go married on the beach and kept it a more casual affair so all out glam was not what I was looking for. Vanessa did such a great job capturing a natural but still done up look and exceeded my expectations of what I was hoping for! She is very easy to work with, kind, and talented! My makeup lasted through the night perfectly and looked amazing in all of our pictures. So so glad I found Vanessa and would recommend her for anyone looking to feel a little extra pretty for special event! read more

I would recommend Vanessa to anyone! read more

Not only was Vanessa about the 10th person/trial I went through in seeking the very best makeup artist for my wedding this past October 2015, she also helped me find the person/team for my bridal party's hair styling! Finding the right person to trust with your makeup for such an important- and highly photographed day- is beyond integral and can be quite stressful! I am so thankful to have had Vanessa provide her professional and highly talented makeup skills for my bridal shower and of course the big wedding day! She is so calm and comforting, she listens to your vision, and openly communicates input to make sure you are both on the right track for your most beautiful self! No need to continue your search, Vanessa is the best! I look forward to working with Vanessa for my future makeup artist needs, and have already referred her since my wedding - and they too are working together :) read more

I went to a couple of disappointing makeup trials before I went with Bee Pretty. The difference between what I had experienced and what Vanessa did was incredible. She did my makeup and the makeup for my bridesmaids. She was sweet, punctual, and professional, and created looks that suited each of my bridesmaids' individual styles. I love what she did with my makeup, and I'm so incredibly glad I went with her! I highly recommend her! read more

Vanessa was a pleasure to work with for my wedding! She did my makeup for my wedding and was such a professional - from doing a trial beforehand to being on time to how super organized in the planning phase leading up she was. Vanessa really listened to what I wanted and what I felt comfortable with (especially being someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup usually), and did a beautiful job on the day of my wedding. I got so many compliments on my wedding day, which I 100% owe to Vanessa and her skills! I highly recommend Bee Pretty! read more

Vanessa came to my house to teach and demonstrate everyday makeup techniques. The party consisted of 10-15 girls and we all gained a wealth of knowledge. Vanessa showed us many different professional makeup secrets (how to apply lashes, smokey eye, brush tips, foundation etc.). She did an amazing job. Vanessa is very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The makeup classes were really reasonable and worth every penny. I also hire Vanessa to do my makeup for girls-nights out etc. Whether I want a natural look or a foxy one Vanessa nails it every time. She's a little ray of sunshine. Thanks Vanessa! read more

Vanessa is an amazing artist! On the day of my wedding she did makeup for myself and my 7 bridesmaids without breaking a sweat or stressing at all.
