About this vendor
As a seasoned freelance makeup artist, I have worked with all types and tones and wasrecently named one of the top makeup artists in Boston.
I've been passionate about beauty ever since I could remember. I grew up with extremely sensitive skin and, thanks to my mother who was religious about her morning and evening skin care routines, understood the importance of quality skin and makeup products. As a teenager, I dove into the world of beauty, admiring the glossy pages of Allure, Elle and Vogue, paying close attention to anything and everything that had to do with makeup and skincare.
During my undergraduate years in college, I was the go-to makeup artist for formals and events. Fortunately by going to an all-women's college, I never had a shortage of faces to practice on. I found that the communications and business skills acquired my undergraduate studies would carry over when building my own business.
Education is a priority and I continue to further my education by attending professional makeup and esthetic workshops and classes whenever I can. In May 2018, I graduated from the 600-hour Advanced Esthetics program from Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics and left my corporate job to focus on my makeup and esthetics career. Great makeup starts with great skin and as both an esthetician and seasoned makeup artist, I am able to bring a 360-degree approach to anyone who sits in my chair.

I cannot recommend Veronica enough! She made my vision for my wedding day come to life. She does not use too much product and made myself as well as the wedding party feel absolutely beautiful on my special day. Look no further for your makeup artist!!
Veronica was everything I hoped for in a makeup artist and more! As someone who enjoys makeup but doesn’t consider themselves very “girly” I was intimidated by the process of finding a makeup artist for my wedding. I was worried that someone would only want to do glam makeup and that just wasn’t for me. When talking to Veronica at our first consult I instantly felt like she really heard and understood what I was saying about what I wanted and my concerns about my skin (acne prone). At our trial she explained everything, answered my questions, offered advice, and talked through how she would take my bridal dreams and make them a reality. On the day of my wedding she came to me, made me feel pampered and utterly stunning. I got married in June and while it was a gorgeous day, it was hot, I was in the sun for a large chunk of the day, and I am a sweaty gal. My makeup stayed gorgeous from application (finished around noon) all the way through the dance floor that night! I used the oil blot pads she gave me in my touch up kit once before I walked down the aisle at 5pm and otherwise didn’t need any other touch ups. I could not have asked for a better experience with Veronica and I would recommend her to anyone!!
Veronica did such a lovely job with makeup for my sister, mom, and myself for my wedding. I don't usually wear makeup and felt a bit out of my depth during our first call but she walked me through everything and made suggestions for how I could look natural, like an 'an elevated version of myself'. She even suggested a lipstick I could try ahead of time so she could purchase it for me with her discount. On the day of the wedding, she was incredibly punctual and organised, she really helped me stay calm whilst doing my makeup, and I was really happy with the outcome. My friend had done my hair right before hand and had to leave, and Veronica went above and beyond and touched up my curls with the curling iron before I had leave for pictures. She also provided a perfect little kit with everything I could need to touch up my makeup later in the night and take the makeup off after! I highly recommend!
Veronica was an absolute dream to have as our makeup artist for our wedding! All my girls absolutely LOVED her, my bridal makeup was absolutely perfect, I felt so beautiful. She really took the time to make sure everything was perfect, her communication was phenomenal and her super sweet friendly demeanor put everyone at ease on such a busy morning. I cannot recommend her high enough- book Veronica to make your wedding makeup everything you dreamed- just like she did for me 💕
Veronica is an exceptional makeup artist who truly made my wedding day unforgettable. From the moment we met her attention to detail and genuine passion for her craft stood out. She not only showcased her incredible talent in makeup application but also created an atmosphere where I felt like the most beautiful version of myself.
Her ability to manage the makeup for all my bridesmaids while ensuring I received personalized attention was remarkable. I was speechless during my reaction video on her Instagram, which perfectly captured my joy and surprise at how stunning I looked. Veronica has a unique gift for enhancing natural beauty, making each person feel special and confident.
What impressed me most was her understanding of skincare, which she emphasized as crucial for achieving flawless makeup. This knowledge made a significant difference in how my makeup wore throughout the day and how I prepped my skin. I also opted for her touch-up services, which I highly recommend; they were essential for maintaining that perfect look.
The compliments from my bridesmaids were endless, and it was clear that Veronica had gone above and beyond their expectations. She is not just a talented artist but a genuinely caring person who wants her clients to feel comfortable and confident. Her dedication to understanding my vision, vibe, and look for my wedding day made all the difference.
I wholeheartedly recommend Veronica to anyone looking for a makeup artist who combines skill, professionalism, and a personal touch. She truly made my wedding day brighter and more beautiful. Thank you, Veronica, for everything!
Veronica was easily one of my favorite vendors from the whole wedding planning experience. Her demeanor is so polished and calm and she really knows her stuff, from skin care and maintenance to the way different products interact with skin types. I am always impressed when I work with her and have recommended her to several friends and family. Aside from my now husband, booking her was my easiest "yes"!
I came to Veronica with absolutely no idea what I wanted or needed and she nailed everything. All I had to tell her was that I love my freckles and she came up with the most stunning look. I have never felt more beautiful in my life. All of my bridesmaids commented how much fun it was getting ready with her and her second artist, Shannon, and everyone loved how they looked. She made it so easy and perfect! Freckled and non-freckled brides alike - you cannot go wrong by hiring Veronica!
Veronica did such an amazing job on my makeup for my engagement photos & my wedding. I really wanted a natural glam & she provided exactly what I wanted. To look like myself, but still stand out. She’s so professional, organized and even helped me come up with the perfect skincare routine to use in the year leading up to the wedding, ensuring that I had the best base for my natural glam look when the day came. I would highly recommend!
What an amazing experience working with Veronica on my daughters wedding day! From the trial appointment to the day of details everything could not have gone more flawlessly! A true professional, she catered to every detail of all of the girls along with her associate but gave the bride the VIP treatment. Staying until the moment she walked down the aisle. Touch ups throughout the day and just as if she were working on a Hollywood star! Can not say enough about what a wonderful experience we had!
Veronica was wonderful to work with for my wedding in Sept 2023. She was incredibly kind, professional, and very responsive with communication. From first meeting her, she was warm, welcoming, and easy to talk to. She took time to get to know me and my personal style, which reflected in her work. Her makeup style is natural and beautiful, and I felt like she truly captured the look I was going for. I highly recommend Veronica for all of your makeup needs!
Veronica is the best! I am not very well seasoned with makeup so during our trial she helped me find a look that I fell in love with and felt "like me" for my wedding day. She also helped me find a skin care routine that would be best for my skin type so I could have glowing and clear skin on my wedding day. She was extremely organized and just has such a calm demeanor that really helped me and my bridesmaids be able to relax and enjoy our time getting ready. Everyone was in love with their makeup and myself, my bridesmaids, and my mom and mother in law got so many compliments throughout the day. She really helps to bring our your natural beauty. If you are looking for a makeup artist for your big day, I couldn't recommend Veronica enough!
Veronica was amazing on my big day!! I absolutely loved working with her to create my bridal look!
Leading up to the wedding, we spoke multiple times to ensure that we were on the same page and we met for a bridal trial. During the trial, she took her time and was able to accomplish the exact look I had envisioned in my mind. She took into account my very sensitive skin and only used products that she felt would be safe. She also created a seamless timeline for the day of and was very organized.
On the day of the wedding, she arrived right on time, with everything she needed, and got right to setting up! She brought a very calm energy and stayed on schedule the whole morning. My makeup looked exactly like it did on the day of my trial! She then met us at the venue for touch ups before the ceremony and she was super on top of it! She didn't miss a single thing! Everyone looked amazing!! She also left me with a very thorough touch up kit to use later in the night if necessary!
Veronica is extremely professional and organized! She is also very talented and knowledgable about makeup and skin. I would definitely recommend Veronica to anyone!!
Veronica and her colleague Kelly were wonderful to work with for wedding makeup. I don't wear a ton of makeup on a day to day basis and Veronica took that into consideration to create a look that was formal enough for a wedding but still felt like me. The makeup for the whole wedding party looked stunning and fitting for each person. I also really appreciated her calming presence the morning of the wedding and the energy she and Kelly brought to the room. Veronica is professional, and organized and I highly recommend her!
Veronica was amazing to work with!! I was able to show her my bridal makeup inspiration pictures, and she made my vision come to life! She created a soft, elegant and natural bridal look, which was exactly what I wanted! She also did my bridesmaids and their makeup was stunning as well!
Veronica was amazing to work with. As a bride, I was the last person in the hair and makeup chair. We were pressed for time and she was able to make my look absolutely perfect even with the time constraints. She is lovely and warm and will help make the getting ready process a breeze! Plus in the bridal package, she includes eye masks and gives a lovely relaxing facial massage!
If you are looking for a makeup artist, please do yourself a favor and contact Veronica 💖
Thank you so much to Veronica for her excellent services and great energy on my wedding day! I knew I was in good hands with Veronica after my make up trial. On the big day, Veronica was prompt, professional and super skilled, taking care of the make up for myself my mom and 6 bridesmaids. I would definitely recommend her to other brides!
If you’re someone like me, mildly interested in makeup and know what you want, but have zero clue how to get there, hire Veronica! She’s a master with make up and knows all the latest and greatest brands and products. She even helped me find the *perfect* lip color and ordered it for me in time for my wedding! In addition to her knowledge, her genuine kindness and professional attitude completely won me over. I told her she was my favorite (shh) vendor because she answered emails quicker than a timely fashion, was proactive with tips & tricks as well as a make up trial before the big day AND was flexible (many of my bridesmaids decided day of they wanted changes…) I honestly would not have trusted anyone else to fulfill my vision of natural but photo ready makeup. Can’t recommend highly enough!!! Thank you Veronica!
Veronica is a great makeup artist and one that I have trusted for years. From having her be my makeup artist while I was a bridesmaid in several other weddings to doing my own bridal makeup, she knew exactly what I want/need without my having to go into too much detail. She is responsive, serious about her work, and passionate as well. As a licensed esthetician, she took great care of any sensitivities I had and used the most premium products on me. She took extra care of me and my wedding party and the results were that I felt beautiful, the whole day! No touch ups were needed except to my lips. I'm so glad she was there for me on my special day and made me look like the queen that I felt like that day. Would recommend her to anyone that wants to look as gorgeous on the outside as they are in.
My friend used Veronica and her colleague for her wedding. They were amazing to have a around the morning of the wedding. Calm, friendly, and very professional. They both did and AMAZING JOB and gave us all looks we loved! They even handled a small disaster with the mother of the bride who’s own makeup artist didn’t show up and fit her in. We were all done on time and looked BEAUTIFUL. My makeup lasted ALL night and through a very sweaty humid day.
Veronica went above and beyond to make my wedding day special. Not only did she make me feel so beautiful, but her energy was an incredible addition to the day. She did a thorough trial beforehand, made an organized schedule for the day and everything went so smoothly. She even provided me with a little lipstick and an emergency make-up kit for the rest of the night! Can't recommend her and her team enough.
Veronica is truly talented! She was friendly and professional. We met for a trial 4 months before my wedding and I was blown away by her work. She used clean products and modern techniques to make me feel like a “better” version of myself. On my wedding day, she catered looks to my bridal party and made each member feel individually comfortable. They loved their finished looks! We all looked like polish, glowing versions of ourselves in photos. She was easy to work with, accommodating and punctual. I would recommend her to any bride!
Veronica was recommended through a personal connection, and I could not be happier with my choice to work with her for my wedding! From the start Veronica was kind, professional, organized, and most importantly a great makeup artist. Throughout my makeup trial, Veronica was patient and receptive to my requests and truly worked with me to make sure I was comfortable and loved the makeup that I would be wearing for my wedding. On the day of my wedding, she was a friendly and calming presence while efficiently working through makeup for everyone (she even stayed behind to help with a minor hair issue for one of my sisters once the hairdressers had left, going above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy!). My makeup looked exactly how we had done it for the trial, and exactly as I had wanted - I would highly recommend her!
Veronica is so talented! She did the makeup for me, my mother, and several bridesmaids for my wedding and across the board everyone was so happy and impressed. My makeup lasted all day and looked great. We had a lot of different ages and personalities in my bridal party but Veronica can handle any look from full glam to natural. Highly highly recommend!
If I could give Veronica 10 stars, I would! She was such a pleasure to work with. She gave great advice and was open to feedback at the trail and made tweaks for the wedding day. The entire wedding party felt as ease with her. She also did an amazing job adjusting to the various age groups and make up style. Thank you Veronia!
Veronica is amazing and such a professional. I absolutely loved my wedding make-up, it was perfection.
Veronica is the best! Personable, professional, dedicated, and so talented!! She did such an amazing job on my bridal makeup, as well as my bridesmaids and my mother who are not used to makeup normally..... they looked beautiful! Her dedication to making you happy is her biggest priority, what more can you ask for? :) highly recommend Veronica for your special day!
Veronica did an amazing job! She made sure we had the same idea in mind. I usually wear just a bit of cover up, so Veronica made sure she gave me a natural look. I got so many compliments all thanks to her! Highly recommend!!
Veronica is incredibly organized, professional, and knowledgeable about her craft. She is also very friendly and warm, and it's clear she wants to make sure her clients are happy with their look. I really enjoyed working with her and having her as part of my wedding day!
Veronica was awesome to work with since day 1. She responded quickly whenever I had a question, took time to speak to me over the phone before the wedding to talk about the schedule during the day, and sent me and my wedding party a "what to expect" email the week before the wedding with all of the information we need to know. Veronica really listened to what I wanted! Her services were also super affordable. Thank you for making me look beautiful on my wedding day, Veronica!
Veronica was the best! I wanted to look like my best self not a caricature of me. She gave me exactly what I wanted. It was so important to me to feel comfortable, natural and beautiful; Veronica did just that. She is extremely talented, kind, calm and professional. I felt at ease having her there on such an important day. Everyone looked beautiful and the makeup lasted all day!
Veronica did an amazing job with my make up and my bridesmaids make up on my wedding day. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! Very responsive, organized, timely, professional, and takes great pride in her work. Thank you Veronica for making me look and feel my best on my wedding day! 10/10 would recommend Veronica!
Veronica was the absolute BEST! She did my makeup for both my engagement shoot and wedding and both were stunning + photographed even better than I could imagine. She has an incredibly professional setup and is so detailed and informative around the entire process that made me completely worry-free. My bridal party was very impressed! Veronica also had a little bag all put together for me to take with me for touch ups the rest of the night. If you are in the Boston area and are looking for bridal makeup, I would give her my highest recommendation!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Veronica! I have terribly sensitive skin and had more anxiety about my makeup than anything else leading up to my wedding. From our first email Veronica was both knowledgeable and friendly and I knew at my trial that she would be an incredible person to have around on the morning of my wedding to keep me relaxed and at ease. All of the makeup for the wedding party was incredibly natural and stunning, bringing out the natural beauty in all the wonderful women in my life. And, of course, my makeup was completely comfortable for my sensitive skin and lasted well throughout the long day. Veronica is talented and such a joy to work with. I can’t recommend her enough!
There are no words to express my gratitude for Veronica and the amazing work she did for my wedding. I couldn't be happier with the way I looked, and she listened to everything I asked for. Her work is absolutely stunning and gorgeous and there is no doubt I will be referring her to every bride. Her attention to detail and her knowledge of makeup is everything a bride wants on her wedding day. Thank you so much Veronica, you are truly amazing at what you do. XO
Veronica met all my expectations as a makeup artist for my wedding. Not only was the makeup for the entire bridal party perfect, but she was also professional and helped to make the morning easy and fun.
Thank you so much Veronica!
I recently had Veronica do my makeup as well as my bridesmaids for my wedding. Everyone looked absolutely flawless. Veronica was so patient with me changing my mind a couple of times, and taking the time to do multiple trials with me.
The day of, I received many compliments on how my makeup came out. She was also able to tailor her application for my mother, who wanted very minimal makeup and was incredibly hesitant to proceed. She wound up loving it and was so happy she got it done.
Veronica is very responsive to email, which was super important to me. I reached out to Veronica on a referral of someone else and will absolutely be passing your name on to others! Thank you so much!
I loved working with Veronica! When I got engaged I knew exactly who I was going to use! Veronica did my makeup trial for my bridal shower and it turned out amazing, everyone absolutely loved it. When it came to the wedding day I wanted the same thing, but with less intensity. She listened and delivered exactly that. I wanted to look natural and she did just that, but intensified my eye make-up and eye brows, so it would look perfect in the pictures. On my wedding day I felt like myself, which is exactly how I wanted to feel and look. The makeup held up the entire day (and let me tell you…I get hot VERY easily). I was constantly worried about looking sweaty and each time I looked in the mirror, my skin looked perfectly normal. Veronica is a talented, professional, and very friendly makeup artist. I would recommend her to anyone without any hesitation!
Consummate professional. So nice, responsive and friendly. Everyone's makeup came out lovely and lasted the entire day (through a giant dance party). Knows how to schedule and manage time well. All around fun and great person to work with. Couldn't recommend more!
I found Veronica through another vendors website and I am so glad I did! I reached out to Veronica early on in my wedding planning and she was happy to go over logistics, answer any questions I had, and schedule a trial closer to the wedding date. Veronica came to me for the trial and spent a lot of time with me, my mom, and my sister. Having Veronica over was like having a friend or family member over - I immediately felt comfortable with her and trusting of her and her work. She listened to all of my wants and concerns and made sure that I was 100% happy with my look. On the day of the wedding, I felt so beautiful and completely like myself (I was told this many times throughout the night by my guests and that is the best compliment!) Veronica and her assistant, Heather, also did the rest of my bridal party and my mother and mother-in law. Everyone looked gorgeous and our makeup stood up to our 12 hour wedding day! I would not hesitate to contact and hire Veronica - she is kind, understanding, accommodating, passionate, knowledgeable, and punctual - a true joy to have by your side on one of your most special days of your life!
Veronica is the best! She is professional, talented and fun. My makeup was perfect, simple and beautiful and made me feel confident and beautiful.
Veronica was amazing. She was quick to respond, which is so helpful, and her work was great. I felt very beautiful and glamorous but still like I looked like myself. She came to our place at 7 am, set up, and got to work. Very highly recommended.
So nice
I absolutely LOVED working with Veronica! She is so friendly and personable, and you can tell that she is passionate about makeup. She did my makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out! I had two trials prior to my wedding in order to perfect my look, and Veronica was more than happy to accommodate. She was so patient with all of my questions/tweaks and she wanted to ensure we nailed down a look that I loved! For those who are concerned about cleanliness, no worries here…she keeps her makeup kit extremely clean and sanitizes after every single makeup application. On my wedding day, I felt so pretty all day long and the makeup photographed beautifully as well! In addition, it held up throughout the entire day! When I was finally ready to remove my makeup around 2am, it still looked just as beautiful as it did that morning! I’m thrilled to have chosen Veronica for my wedding makeup, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and incredibly talented makeup artist!
Veronica does a beautiful job and is so nice. Came to my house for a trial [was very flexible and accommodating] and on the day of my wedding. Has many supplies for many different styles and skin types. The makeup held well throughout the evening and night, including tears, and even into the next day! Definitely would recommend her!!
Veronica is truly an artist and she is passionate about her craft. From the moment you meet with her, you can immediately tell how knowledgeable she is about makeup and skincare. But Veronica’s approach is far from clinical; you will feel like you’ve known her for years by the time you leave your appointment.
I hired Veronica to do my makeup for my 1920s/Art Deco-vibe wedding in October. I explained the general look I was going for and Veronica took it from there. I was incredibly pleased after leaving my trial appointment with Veronica, but I was truly blown away by her work on the day of my wedding. That morning, Veronica showed up to my house early, scoped out an area with optimal natural lighting, and immediately put me at ease with her relaxing demeanor and meticulous attention to detail. Her finished product was more beautiful and on point than I had hoped for. I would recommend her to any bride in a heartbeat.
Veronica did such an amazing job! She is extremely talented and certainly knows her stuff! She traveled to my house for a trial and was very patient and took her time as she helped me figure out the look I wanted for my wedding day. She takes great pride in her work, really listens and made sure I was happy with my look. Veronica also stayed at my house right up until I left for the ceremony in case I needed any last minute touch-ups and provided me with a touch-up kit to use throughout the night. She thinks of everything! I am someone that doesn't regularly wear much makeup and I couldn't be happier with the look Veronica created. It was natural, yet perfect for the occasion. Thank you, Veronica!
I am so happy that Veronica did my makeup for my wedding! She is so professional and fun. She spent ample time on me and each of my bridesmaids and the mother of the bride. Everyone loved our makeup! It looked incredible in pictures! You can tell that Veronica loves working with brides. Veronica helped to make my day extra special!
Makeup by V did a fantastic job! Easy to work with, professional and most importantly made us all look amazing. I would recommend to anyone!
Veronica was absolutely wonderful to work with. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is kind and attentive as well. We began working together for months before my wedding to decide on a 'look' for me...I nervously decided on a red lip, which was new for me, but she guided me through each step and helped me pick the perfect color! My make-up looked great, as did all of my bridesmaids. I highly recommend Veronica--talented, fun, and kind, the total package!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with makeup by v. I had 8 bridesmaids, my mother and my husband's mother. Since I had a lot she brought an assistant who was amazing too! Their work was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. They were professional and so easy and fun to work with. If you book Makeup by V you will not be disappointed!!
I found Veronica on the Knot, and picked her because of her reasonable prices and the beautiful photos of her previous brides. Veronica was professional yet personable. We met to discuss my ideas for the feel and look of my wedding, and what I imagined for my makeup. I don't have a lot of experience or knowledge with makeup, and Veronica helped me make choices that reflected who I am and kept me looking natural. She made sure all products worked well with my sensitive skin. During the makeup trail Veronica made sure I felt comfortable with all parts of the look, and made changes to ensure I felt perfect. On my actual wedding day Veronica did my makeup as well as three of my bridesmaids. She planned perfectly for the amount of time needed for all of us, so there was no rushing or feeling stressed. All of us looked absolutely beautiful and like ourselves. Veronica gave me a touch up kit to keep for the wedding day so I did not need to worry about anything later. It was a pleasure working with Veronica and I will certainly recommend her to any bride!
Veronica was recommended by another makeup artist, who was not available for my wedding date. I really lucked out! My makeup was perfect! She made me look beautiful but naturally so I still looked like me. I honestly never felt so gorgeous! Also, I had a very hard time finding someone to do my hair and the two women in my wedding party so Veronica graciously offered to do everyone's hair. You would never know that she is not a professional hair dresser. I loved my updo and the girls curls were perfect. Veronica traveled from CT to Boston for my trial and from CT to Porches/Massmoca for the wedding. I can't say enough about her flexibility. There was a time crunch on the wedding day (not by any fault of Veronica's) and she handled it with ease. I was super nervous and I really appreciated how calm she was. Every bride should be as lucky as I was to have Veronica make me beautiful on my wedding day. Also, her pricing is extremely reasonable.
I would highly recommend Veronice Nunes ("Makeup By V") to any bride, bridal party, or anyone looking for special occasion make-up! Not only is she experienced and professional, but she is incredibly talented and so easy to work with! For my December wedding, Veronica listened to exactly what I wanted and was able to come up with a great look for myself and my bridal party, even my mother! Everyone involved raved about her work, I even had someone call me that same week to ask for her information! If you use Veronica Nunes, you will not be disappointed. She is truly and artist, and I was so thankful to have her play a role in my wedding!
