Trials
Trials are the best way for us to meet you in person before your wedding day and really discuss and choose the best hair and makeup style for you. We look over inspiration pictures, talk about possible allergies, and discuss important timelines leading up to the wedding day. During your trial we can also discuss skin care routines, spray tanning, and other “extra services” that are super important leading up to the wedding day. All trials are held in the studio and run for about an hour per service… Coffee and mimosas are included !

Vanesa and Leah are absolute stars! They were the makeup artists for my wedding, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with their work. They did my makeup, my bridesmaids’, and both moms...
’, and we were all blown away by how stunning everyone looked.
From the start, Vanesa and Leah were professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. They listened to exactly what we wanted and brought our visions to life with precision and artistry. Each look was perfectly tailored to enhance our natural beauty while still making us feel glamorous.
On my wedding day, I have never felt more beautiful. Vanesa made me feel like the best version of myself, and the compliments didn’t stop all night. Our makeup stayed flawless through hours of tears, laughter, and dancing, which speaks to their incredible skill and high-quality products.
My bridesmaids and moms were equally thrilled, and we’re all still talking about how perfect everything turned out. Vanesa and Leah created a relaxed, fun atmosphere while keeping everything on schedule—a dream team in every way.
If you’re looking for makeup artists who are not only talented but also a joy to work with, Vanesa and Leah are the ones to choose. They made my wedding day so special, and I’ll forever be grateful for how beautiful they made us feel. Thank you, Vanesa and Leah, for making us look and feel amazing!
I used VOB Bridal for my wedding on 11/15/2025, and I truly cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely wonderful. Vanesa and the entir...
e team were amazing! So professional, talented, and so so easy to work with.
Vanesa and Amanda did my trial as well as my hair and makeup on the wedding day, and they were both incredible. My hair and makeup turned out absolutely amazing, and I felt so confident on my wedding day. Everything held up flawlessly throughout the day and looked stunning in all of our photos (I’ll be sure to include some in this review). Everyone in my bridal party looked beautiful as well. They had 10 people for hair and makeup on my wedding day, and they did such a stunning job on every person.
They truly made the entire experience stress-free and fun. I’m so grateful to VOB Bridal, Vanesa, Amanda, and the entire team for being such an important part of my day. I would recommend them to any bride without hesitation!
Vanesa and her team are fantastic. They couldn't be a nicer group of people and so great to work with. A special shout-out to Angie and Amanda - my very own A team! They made me fe...
el so beautiful in my own skin as I'm not one to wear much makeup if at all. The coverage lasted all day and night despite running around entertaining guests and living it up on the dance floor. The same applied for my hair; my gorgeous updo with braid lied securely in place throughout the course of the evening and made for lovely waves the next day. Definitely give them a chance - you won't regret it!
Vanessa and her team are true experts in soft glam and without a doubt the best in the area!

I am so glad I chose Vanesa and her team for hair/makeup on my wedding day! They did such a great job giving me and my bridal party a very beautiful and natural look! My vision was...
brought to life for my hair and makeup and it could not have been more perfect! Highly recommend Vanesa and her team!!
When I arrived at the studio for my hair trial (which was an hours drive for me), Vanesa and Tarin were both very late and for a while were unresponsive to calls and messages. Then...
even though I had told them I was only doing hair, they were under the impression that I was also needing makeup. So I was not initially impressed. Tarin did my hair and I did not want it super curly (like Shirley Temple) and she made it very curly with the promise that the curls would drop. They did not and I was upset about the experience. But, they scheduled me a second trial (with no additional charge) and this time my hair came out beautifully. I loved how she did my hair on my wedding day and felt beautiful. Unfortunately, my bridesmaids did not love how their updos came out (the one redid hers in the bathroom), though I’m not sure if any of them communicated this, but I know two of the bridesmaids shared pictures with Tarin and their hair did not look like the pictures. It was a very mixed experience for us.
Vanesa Oliver Beauty did the hair and makeup for my wedding day and they were amazing. Angie did our makeup and when something didn't sit right she fixed it with no issues. We twea...
ked my my makeup a little bit from the trial and it made such a difference, I loved how I looked. Tarin did our hair for the day, and again I tweaked things from the trial and she ran with it, when I couldn't put in to words what I wanted, she knew what I meant and was able to work with my hair and make it beautiful for the day.
Vanesa was such a pleasure to work with. She is friendly and easygoing. We went over a lot during the trial, which made the day really easy. Most importantly - the photos look grea...

y. Thank you!
Vanesa did my makeup and hair for my Civil Wedding back in April and was everything I want. I love her natural style for Brides. She is friendly and professional.
I loved Vanesa's team. I had Kateryna for my hair and Brianna for my makeup. My makeup DID NOT BUDGE in the August heat. All my girls loved their work. 10/10 would recommend.
Vanesa is absolutely amazing at what she does! She did both my hair and make up for my wedding and I was in love with both. I don’t normally wear a ton of makeup and wanted to stil...
l feel like myself on my wedding day. Vanesa listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me the natural but glam look I was going for. I really wanted my hair down for my wedding, but was worried it wouldn’t last with the heat and humidity. Vanesa encouraged me to go with what I envisioned for my day, instead of settling for something else. Both my hair and makeup lasted all night! I have never felt more beautiful!
I had Vanesa (makeup) and Tarin (hair) as my artists for my wedding day on 5/11/24 and I cannot say enough great things about them! I truly felt like a princess all day. They liste...
ned to exactly what I wanted for both hair and makeup and I know I can be pretty particular. I don’t wear much makeup usually and can be picky about how I wear my hair and they both were absolutely amazing at helping me feel my most beautiful. I also had Alyssa (makeup) and Amanda (hair) help with my bridesmaids and MIL and they were equally as amazing. All my girls looked beautiful and our hair and makeup lasted all day. Highly recommend!
Brianna and Angela were my makeup artists for my wedding day, and they absolutely killed it! Both of them are professional, fun, kind, and SO insanely talented at what they do! My ...
makeup, as well as all my bridesmaids and the MOB/MOG, lasted the entire day and night, and looked flawless the entire time. I love that they take your skin type and any skin concerns into consideration, and really listen to each person who sits in their chair in order to create the most amazing makeup looks! I highly recommend the ladies at VOB, as they certainly know how to make anyone feel special and gorgeous.
Vanesa did our makeup for my daughter's wedding last month. All five of us (including the bride, of course!) loved how beautiful we looked. Vanesa applied our makeup in a natural m...
anner, but was attentive to our individual needs - lighter, heavier, soft cat eyes, etc. And she was fun and easy to work with. We had an early morning makeup call for an evening wedding, and my face stayed on all day!
Vanesa sent her team of girls to my location the morning of my wedding. We worked with Amanda for hair and Brianna for makeup. Both of them were on time and so sweet. Unfortunately...
, I did not get a trial so I was a bit nervous. These two ladies knocked it right out of the park - not only for myself but, for my girls too. We all looked absolutely incredible on top of the fact that they were finished over a half hour early with all 5 of us. You’d never guess that from how glammed up and gorgeous we all looked. My hair looked just absolutely incredible and the airbrush quality of the makeup was next level.
Vanesa and Angela were amazing. Super sweet ladies and made the wedding day painless. They took great care of my bridesmaids, moms, grandmother, and I. We all looked gorgeous. I ab...
solutely loved my makeup. Angela walked through everything with me. Touched up anything I ask and gave her professional option when needed. My makeup did not budge one bit! It was easy to take off afterwards as well. I’m grateful they were willing to travel an hour away to my venue. I will definitely be reaching back to them in the future for any professional make up needs.
I loved working with Vanesa and Lauren! I wanted a natural look and I really didn't know how to achieve that--I showed up to the trial without any photos or concrete ideas. Vanesa ...
really executed--I really liked the look at the trial and loved it even more on the day of the wedding. Lauren was also over the top--I loved my updo and she even helped to put little flowers into my hair and my bridesmaids' hair. It was a bit of a chaotic day because the wedding was on my parents property and the weather was not great--and then my dog got away from her pet sitter down the street and I panicked (she was found very quickly!!)--Lauren and Vanesa were so patient and kind through the whole thing. They are top notch!
Loved my makeup and hair by Vanesa. Absolutely Loved It! I scheduled a photo session for my social media branding, and my photographer recommended Vanesa. Coming from Philadelphia ...
to Bethlehem was not a short ride but it was so worth it. Vanesa was easy to deal with, easy to work with and so friendly and professional. She highlighted my natural features and made me look strong and elegant - exactly how I wanted to look in my photos! I will go to her in the future for sure. Thank you so much, Vanesa, for making me feel pretty on the outside too :)
Thank you so much, Vanesa and Lauren! This makeup-and-hair team made me feel SO beautiful for my October 2022 wedding. My mom, maid-of-honor and mother-in-law really loved working ...
with them too. We all appreciated the fun, talent and artistry they brought to the wedding day :)

I am beyond thankful to have hired and gotten to meet Vanesa for our Wedding Day makeup needs! She blew me (and all of my friends) away from just the trial day to begin with! She l...
istened to exactly what I wanted, and then used her skills to exceed expectations. She did an incredible job for me and my bridesmaids on our Wedding Day and we feel beyond grateful to have used her services. She also brought in a good partner because we had a large bridal party, so I fully trust her and her connections as well. Vanesa brings in such a positive energy as well, and I would highly recommend her for your makeup needs!
I can not say enough about how great of a job Brianna and Amanda did! I felt like a literal princess! Brianna somehow managed to make me along with my 2 sisters, mom, and best frie...

Absolutely thrilled with the makeup and hair services we received from Vanesa Oliver Beauty. Between myself and my bridesmaids, Vanesa delivered flawless makeup and Amanda created ...
gorgeous hairstyles just the way we envisioned. We all could not be happier with the way we looked on the big day. Thank you for making us shine!
I could not have asked for a better MUA for my wedding. Vanesa is friendly, professional, and extremely skilled. I typically don’t wear a lot of makeup, and have had plenty of MUA ...
not follow my requests for a “natural” look in the past, but Vanesa listened to what I wanted and absolutely killed it. I couldn’t have imagined a better result.
The other people getting their makeup done also wanted a natural look and Vanesa delivered on their requests as well. They were all just as happy as I was. Most importantly, all of our makeup lasted throughout the day. Thank you, Vanesa for making myself and everyone else feel beautiful on my wedding day!
You will NOT be disappointed with the make up work of Vanesa and the hair work of Lauren.

s I made adjustments. I didn't even do a trial for my wedding because I wasn't too specific about what I wanted and I was confident they would do a great job! We had them travel to a hotel in Allentown to get us ready and they both showed up early and ready to go! They worked efficiently and got us all done even ahead of the schedule that Vanesa had sent me! My bridesmaids all looked beautiful and Vanesa was even willing to use one of their products due to sensitive skin/allergies and she still looked perfect! Thank you both so much for such a wonderful experience!
Vanesa and Kiara were absolutely amazing!! For one thing - they were SO fast! They got us done over an hour ahead of schedule. I had a hair and makeup trial done with them and they...
made perfect adjustments day-of! My hair could not have come out any more perfectly - I still stare at it in the pictures! After my trial, I realized I wanted something a little more subtle and natural day-of because I'm not used to wearing much makeup. Vanesa did an amazing job adjusting from what I'd done in my trial and I could not have felt more beautiful! Would recommend them to anybody!

even had a bridesman get a full face of makeup done. She went above and beyond for my Disney themed wedding. I love that her team got into the theme with the hair and makeup styles and helped pull everything together. I cannot thank everyone enough for all of your hard work and dealing with my 4 year old niece! Thank you so much!

If I could give Vanesa more than 5 stars, I would 10x over. I booked with Vanesa because her portfolio was one of the only ones I saw that represented the skin tone diversity seen ...
with my bridal party and me. She did not disappoint. Getting our makeup done felt like chatting with an old friend, she is so personable and sweet. Most importantly we looked STUNNING. I didn't book a trial because I believed in her work so much and on the day of my vision for myself and my bridal party was executed spectacularly. Our makeup withstood the entire evening in 90 degree humidity, and yet at the end of the night wiped off smoothly with a simple makeup wipe when it was time to wind down. She also introduced me to my wedding photographer, who was also amazing. Safe to say Vanesa is a magician, we looked and felt the most beautiful we ever had because of her. I can't imagine my wedding day without her being a part of it.
Vanesa and her team knocked it out of the park! Her main message about enhancing natural beauty is what drew me to her work and I'm so glad I ended up booking her services for our ...
wedding. Her fun personality and professionalism made me feel so comfortable during the trial. She made sure every detail was something I liked. I had a large wedding party along with my mom, mother in law, and grandmother. Her team was extremely accommodating and made sure there was ample time to get everyone's hair and makeup done without sacrificing quality. I truly have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. I would absolutely recommend Vanessa and her team for any event!

I felt like she just enhanced my features without making me look like a different person. Tarin did amazing as well. She followed the exact pictures I showed her and my hair held up great for a rainy day! All in all, I would highly recommend Vanesa and her team!

My husband and I got married 6/13/20, but we had our celebration of marriage ceremony on 4/24/21 due to the pandemic. Vanesa was very flexible with me when I needed to make change...
s around my original date. Vanesa was very communicative and professional, and arrived to our venue in a timely manner. She did a great job on my bridal party's makeup. A reason I reached out to her is because I loved how she is able to use makeup to enhance the best of anyone's features without hiding their real face. I can be intimidated by a lot of eye makeup because I have very sensitive eyes, but my eye makeup with her stayed comfortable the entire night, false lashes and all! As the bride, I received Many compliments from people on my makeup the entire night about how fantastic it looked. Additionally, Vanesa also brought Amanda from her team to style hair for myself and my bridesmaids. Amanda was very friendly and did a wonderful job providing me with a classic low bun style and helped my Maid of Honor on how to correctly attach my veil so that it stayed in place. Amanda did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids' hairstyles as well, providing them with half up/half down hairstyles that they wanted. I would recommend Vanesa and Amanda to anyone in need of a makeup artist and hair stylist.
Vanesa was so wonderful to work with. From our initial conversation, to planning my look, to the trial through the day of the wedding she was extremely communicative and profession...

I highly recommend Vanesa! She was amazing from start to finish. She did a great makeup trial to figure out what exactly I wanted. For the wedding day, she came to the bridal party...
and made it so easy to relax. She made all my girls feel their absolute best! Even when I smeared some of my under eye makeup, she was right there to fix it! Book her to be your makeup artist, you won't regret it!!
Vanesa did makeup for me (the bride) and my whole bridal party. She is so friendly-everyone absolutely loved her! She made a schedule so that the day went smoothly. I recommend her...
