Artistry by Victoria Helen

I hired Victoria for my wedding and I am so glad I did! Victoria was recommended to me by a friend in Seattle- my wedding was tricky because I got married on the West Coast but I live in the Southwest so we were only able to meet once for a trial appointment six months before the wedding. Despite our distance, Victoria made me feel very confident in my choice by staying in communication with me about different ideas and looks. Also Victoria worked closely with my wedding planner and my mother in Seattle to make sure we had a solid plan to make the day run smoothly. On top of being across the country, I also changed my makeup plan just before my wedding... originally I wanted a very natural look but the morning of my wedding I decided I wanted something dramatic. Most artists would be intimidated by a sudden change but Victoria was extremely accommodating and not at all flustered- she immediately whipped up a makeup look that exceeded my expectations but did not make me feel too done. I felt like the red carpet version of myself! Victoria also works very quickly and was able to make time for two of my cousins who had not booked makeup applications but who couldn’t resist after they saw what an amazing job she did on the rest of us! Overall our time with Victoria was fabulous. She has a lighthearted personality and a fantastic set of skills- she made my wedding day less stressful and it was a treat to have her with us!

Victoria's work never ceases to impress. I had been to see Victoria before for special events and decided to hire her to work her magic on my sister, my mother and myself for my big day. I was blown away not only by the initial look, but the longevity of the makeup and the way it photographed. She made recommendations and suggested slight deviations from my initial idea that produced an even better quality in photos. I am so glad she was there to guide me. I was also impressed by her ability to create three separate looks for three women varying in age and coloring. Each makeup was perfect for the occasion and person. I could not imagine what would have happened if I had hired someone else or if we had attempted to go it alone. She was absolutely worth every penny. I would still go see Victoria for special events and other occasions, but I moved across the country. With my sister's wedding fast approaching I will soon see Victoria again because none of the ladies in my family would even contemplate having someone other than Victoria there to help us with our looks for the wedding. Her work is unsurpassed by anyone else I have ever been to.

Victoria is an immensely talented make up artist. I have had the pleasure to enjoy her make up artistry for a variety of special occasions, and I am consistently wowed by her ability to thoughtfully create beautiful and timeless make up looks for me. No matter the task at hand Victoria takes the time to understand the look I desire, and all the nuances of the event I need to look my best for. For my wedding day of make-up, Victoria took the time to help me find the best color pallet to match my wedding theme, and understand all the different elements of the night. She then put together a flawless look for me that lasted through the whole day. She also pateintly took time to understand my mother’s and sister’s personal make up preferences and habits and created beautiful natural looks for them. I love that I can look back at my wedding photos and recognize myself simply looking happy and feeling gorgeous. She has an ability to gain your trust quickly and put you at ease while she works joyfully helps you look your best. I highly recommend Victoria, her work is sublime.
