Vanessa travels throughout St Johns County, FL and beyond. Depending on the distance, an additional travel charge may apply.
Every Skin Tone
Makeup for Every Skin Tone, Fair to Deep
Vanessa works with all skin tones and undertones, from fair and light to medium, olive, tan, deep and rich. Whatever your complexion, you should feel confident booking her, and you can expect the same care and skill as anyone else in the chair.
That starts with matching the undertone, not just the depth, so foundation disappears into your skin instead of sitting on top of it.
- True shade matching. Foundation and concealer matched in natural light to your depth and undertone, warm, cool or neutral.
- No ashy or gray cast. Shades and powders chosen so deeper skin looks rich and even, never chalky.
- Photo-ready on every complexion. Products picked to avoid flashback in flash photography on any skin tone.
- Color that flatters you. Blush, lip and eye shades chosen for your coloring, not a one-size palette.
Your Personal Shade Guide
Know Your Colors. Shop With Confidence.
Most people own a drawer of makeup that never looked quite right. Accessory consulting fixes that at the source for $100 per hour. Vanessa works through what you already have and gives you expert advice you can take shopping.
- Makeup bag review. Vanessa goes through the products you use now and what each one is doing for you.
- Skin tone and complexion match. She reads your undertone in natural light and finds the shades and formulas that work for your skin tone, complexion and skin type, so no more orange foundation or visible jawline line.
- Swap and add list. Expert advice on which products to swap out and which new ones to add.
Her Favorite Products
What Vanessa reaches for
Vanessa loves working with Chanel, from skin and lip prep to the final coat of mascara. Formula decides how long makeup lasts, how it feels by the end of the night and how color reads on camera, so these are the pieces she trusts most.
Le Volume de Chanel Waterproof
Her pick for weddings, where everyone cries. It holds through the vows, the first look and the speeches, so lashes stay full in every close-up.
Rouge Allure
Rich, satin lip color that reads beautifully in photos. A favorite for brides and for finding the everyday shade you will actually wear.
Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss
A hydrating, high-shine gloss worn on its own or layered over lipstick when a look needs a little more light.
Stylo Sourcils Haute Précision
A fine-tip brow pencil for hair-like strokes. Brows come out defined and polished while still looking like yours.
How Each Service Works
What happens at your appointment
Your Wedding Morning
- The whole party in one visit. The bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother-in-law, family and flower girl get ready together on the wedding morning.
- Tear-ready eyes. Le Volume de Chanel Waterproof goes on the bride and anyone likely to cry.
- Skin care prep first. Skin is cleansed, hydrated and primed before foundation, so the base still looks like skin hours later.
- Lip prep. Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum Lèvres smooths and hydrates lips before color, so lipstick wears evenly in close-ups.
- Set to last. Powder where needed and setting spray, so makeup holds through hugs, heat and dancing.
Your Glow Up Session
- Individualized from the start. Vanessa looks at how you wear makeup now, how much time you have and what you want to change.
- Skin and lip prep. Hydrated skin and smooth, prepped lips give every product a better base.
- Evolve it with the latest products. Newer formulas often do the same job lighter, faster or longer.
- Brows and lips that frame the face. Stylo Sourcils Haute Précision for brows, Rouge Allure and Hydra Gloss for lips.
- A 10-minute routine. Vanessa streamlines your application so a polished, natural look fits into a busy morning without delaying your day.
- A look you can repeat. You practice each step yourself, so the glow up lasts long after the appointment.
Your Color Consultation
- Bring your makeup bag. Vanessa goes through the products you own, one by one.
- Undertone and complexion. Warm, cool or neutral, checked in natural light with your skin type in mind.
- Swap and add list. Expert advice on what to replace and which new products to add.
- $100 per hour. You leave knowing exactly what works for your skin tone.

Terms You'll Hear
A quick makeup glossary
- Undertone
- The warm, cool or neutral hue under your skin. Two people with the same skin tone can need different foundation because of it.
- Skin tone
- How light or deep your skin is. It sets the depth of every shade you wear.
- Complexion
- The natural color and texture of your facial skin, which guides formula as much as shade.
- Foundation oxidizing
- When foundation darkens after it dries. A shade that matched in the store can look orange by lunch.
- Jawline line
- A visible edge where foundation stops matching your neck. The clearest sign of the wrong shade.
- Finish
- How a product reflects light: matte controls shine, satin sits in between, dewy reads as glow.
- Skin prep
- Cleansing, hydrating and priming skin before makeup, so foundation sits smoothly instead of clinging to dry patches.
- Lip prep
- Hydrating and smoothing lips before color. Dry or flaky lips make even the best lipstick look uneven.
- Primer
- A base layer under foundation that helps makeup grip and last.
- Setting spray
- A finishing mist that locks makeup in place for a long day.
- Waterproof mascara
- A formula that resists tears and humidity, like Le Volume de Chanel Waterproof.
- Ashy cast
- A gray or chalky look on deeper skin from foundation or powder that is too light or the wrong undertone.
- Flashback
- A white cast that some powders leave in flash photos.
- Contour and highlight
- Shading and light that add the dimension a camera flash flattens.
- Color analysis
- Matching colors to your natural coloring, so you know which shades light you up.
