Vivian was an absolute dream to work with and played a big part in making our day perfect.
From the start, she was super easy to communicate with and helped coordinate with our hair stylist to make sure we were all on the same page.
She did make-up for my sister, my mother, my grandmother, and bride (me). All of us felt beautiful and confident-- like elevated versions of ourselves. It was really important to me that I not look too "made up", and Vivian did an absolutely amazing job with subtle highlighting and lip color. We all agreed that it was the best we'd ever felt wearing make-up.
If you have an opportunity to work with Vivian, don't miss it. She's super thoughtful, very talented, knowledgeable, and also just a pleasure to be around.
Thank you again Vivian--- it was such a joy meeting you! :)

Vivian was an absolute joy to work with, from start to finish. Vivian is incredibly talented, I was so impressed with my makeup and the makeup of my mom, and bridal party. Vivian is very thoughtful and went above and beyond to ensure my wedding makeup was flawless and just as I imagined. Vivian was happy to talk, text, or video call leading up to the wedding to make sure all details were in order. We even met in person a few days before my wedding, in addition to the wedding trial a few months before. Vivian has a great personality and was a fun person to work with! I love that we were provided with our own individual makeup kits which allowed for touchups throughout the night, and allowed for a hygienic makeup experience. I highly recommend Vivian, you will not be disappointed!

Thank you for your very kind words, Julianne. It was a total pleasure working with you, your mom and sisters. I appreciated your attention to detail and organization, which assisted mine! My very best wishes to you and David!
One month since our big day and I am still absolutely grateful for Vivian's BEAUTIFUL work. Her use of colors, precise lines, beautiful blending made for a natural, classic, & sophisticated look. I would recommend her a thousand times over.
Any questions?
Vivian was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely attentive and professional and very caring. The consideration that she put into creating our wedding day was amazing. She was attentive to the details regarding all members of the wedding party. She made everyone feel comfortable and she really listened to our requests and executed them perfectly. She went above and beyond helping me with other aspects on the wedding day as well. I couldn't have chosen a better makeup artist!
Vivian is so so talented. She made myself, my wife, and our moms look more beautiful than we have ever looked for my wedding. She kept it natural just like we asked! HIGHLY RECOMMMEND!!!
I couldn't be more pleased with the make up session I received from Vivian for my son's recent wedding. I loved, loved, loved my makeup. It was flattering but not overly heavy in the least amount. It also lasted all day and all night even with all the crying and there was a lot of crying (all happy tears). I thought for sure it would drip or wear off with the crying but it didn't at all. Also as an older woman, I was pleased that it didn't crease or fade as the day went on. The last time I tried to wear foundation, I broke out in hives even though I was using a hypoallergenic product. I had no issues at all with the products used by Vivian. I love the lipstick she provided so much I now use it regularly and will purchase more of the same brand once this one is gone. I highly recommend Vivian to others who would need her services.
Vivian was such an incredible part of our vendor team! I have severe Celiac Disease which not only causes reactions when I eat gluten but also when I use skin products containing gluten. Vivian went absolutely above and beyond to make sure all the products she used on me were safe. I experienced zero reactions and my makeup was flawless. She is able to create stunning makeup that doesn't feel heavy or cakey. I had bridesmaids that wanted full glam including lashes while other members of my party preferred a more natural look and Vivian was able to give everyone what they were looking for and feel as beautiful and confident as possible. I would 10000% recommend Vivian for all your makeup needs.

Emily, thank you for your very kind words. I do my best to hold each person exactly where she (or he) is. And when I’m lucky enough to work with brides like you who are thoughtful, kind and thorough, with clear ideas of what they want (and need...
), it makes me love my work even more! I wish you infinite happiness and life adventures!
Vivian is simply amazing. I don't wear a lot of make up normally, so I did not want to look 'overly made up' for my wedding. Vivian made me look beautiful and yet very natural. She made me look like the best version of myself. I can't say enough good things about her.

Thank you for your kind words, Holly. I truly appreciated we were able to talk through what you wanted, from our first conversation to your wedding day. Your attention to detail and communication is a stylist’s dream.
Vivian is a talented makeup artist. I am extremely lucky that I was able to still hire her eight or so months out from the wedding when I realized I would need another makeup artist to help with my big wedding party. She is down to earth and made each person who sat in her chair feel at ease. Her work is also stunning! She made each of my girls look fabulous without making them look like they were caked in makeup.
She gave very thorough information in the lead up to the wedding and was responsive throughout everything.
If you are looking for a down to earth and extremely talented makeup artist, hire Vivian!

Your thoughtfulness in observing my work, checking in with your bridesmaids and taking the time to write this review, are very much appreciated, Susannah. Thank you!
I cannot begin to explain how wonderful Vivian is - both as an artist and as a person. She made every single moment leading up to the wedding perfect - whether it was our discussions about different looks during the bridal preview, texting with me about color choices, different eye options, offering her thoughts on makeup pictures I was sending her, etc. I know nothing about makeup (and neither does my mother!) and she worked with us both to make sure that our makeup looked understated, nature, and so unbelievably beautiful. Everyone in our wedding party looked like the most perfect version of themselves, and I really feel like Vivian was a party of our family throughout the entire weekend. We are so grateful for expertise, thoughtfulness, and warmth, as she was such an integral part of making our wedding perfect!
I am so grateful to have had the chance to work with Vivian. I don’t know much (at all) about makeup and don’t wear a lot of makeup on a regular basis so definitely like a more natural look. I quickly came to realize that that was Vivian’s #1 priority – highlighting natural beauty via simplicity, products, color palettes and more. Despite her extremely busy schedule, she went out of her way to get to know me, my mom, my mother-in-law, and bridesmaids so she could truly personalize their looks and make them feel and look amazing. From our first phone conversation, Vivian was extremely professional, supportive, understanding (of my lack of makeup knowledge!), kind and always available to answer questions, provide advice (that, at times, had nothing to do with makeup!) leading up to the big day. Her professionalism and incredibly talent came through immediately – long before we met in person. On the day of, Vivian & Heather were so personable and fun – everyone felt so comfortable with them. My mom very rarely wears makeup and was a bit hesitant to get makeup done however Vivian immediately put her at ease and made her feel (and look) absolutely gorgeous. They both made sure to talk to each of my bridesmaids before getting started so they could personalize each of their looks. They were all thrilled with the results and looked stunning. I kept telling Vivian she was a mind reader because with the minimal information I gave her, she truly read my mind (and beyond). I felt naturally beautiful. I felt like myself. They both stayed far longer than they had to as they genuinely wanted me and all of us all to feel and look our best. From the start, Vivian went above and beyond. She was even fixing our hair and put my veil on prior to the ceremony! I enjoyed every minute of working with Vivian. She is a true artist and overall amazing person. I can’t praise her enough!
Vivian is a true artist. From the day we started talking she was interested in getting to know the style of my wedding, what dress I was wearing, who my photographer was, what my bridesmaids were wearing, etc. She had great advice and tips on vendors she has worked with, and for other things not make up related! She was very thorough and took the time to get to know me which made me feel so comfortable and confident when I worked with her. I was so pleased on the day of my trial. I don't wear a lot of makeup so I had a difficult time telling her what I wanted, but she really did an amazing job of making me look flawless and natural. On the day of the wedding she took care of seven of us and had us ready on time. She rolled with it when the bridesmaids wanted more makeup then she had planned, because it was more time consuming. She made sure to keep me on time and made sure I was absolutely happy with my makeup before I walked out the door. I cannot tell you how nice it was to have her come to us also. It was so relaxing getting ready with all of my bridesmaids that morning knowing we could just stay put. I would highly recommend Viv!
Vivian was so professional from the start of meeting her. She has so much experience and listens to your concerns making the process stress free. I don't wear make up day to day and was concerned about not looking like myself on my wedding day. Vivian is so good at making you look like yourself but the best version with the right amount of makeup. Everyone who got their makeup done was so happy and impressed with the results. She was so nice to stay and make sure everyone had their final touches done perfect before the pictures started. Thank you Vivian!
Vivian was such a pleasure to work with. From the very beginning she was supportive, helpful and understanding. I do not wear a lot of makeup normally and my now husband prefers a much more 'natural' me. Vivian was the only makeup artist I spoke to who not only understood my hesitations but in fact prioritizes natural beauty and simplicity in her work. She and her assistant provided makeup for me, my mother, my now mother-in-law and my 7 bridesmaids (it was quite an effort) and together they flawlessly highlighted the beauty in each of these women. Everyone was happy. In addition, when my skin decided not to cooperate the week before the wedding, Vivian rose to the occasion and managed to make my skin look flawless despite its poorly timed tantrum. Finally, beyond her talents as a makeup artist (which cannot be overstated), she was super resourceful. She helped me connect with local vendors near my home in Boston, as well as vendors near my folks' farm in Vermont where the wedding was held. She even offered recommendations for our honeymoon in Italy, where she lived for a number of years. Viv was a pleasure to work with and a true artist. I cannot commend her enough.
Vivian is the best! I just had my trial with her, and it was so much fun and a wonderful learning experience. She is a true professional but also makes you feel at ease the moment you walk in the door. My trial was done at the Milkhouse Studio in Craftsbury, vt. I am not one to wear a lot of makeup usually, and she did makeup that was true to this. She listens to everything you want and makes helpful suggestions along the way. At the end of the trial I felt beautiful, comfortable and very excited for my wedding day. She is an amazing artist and I would recommend her to everyone getting married in Vermont.

Viv was easy to deal with from the very beginning. As a mixed race women getting married in Vermont, I assumed it would be difficult to find an artist who knew how to highlight my complexion. When I finally found Viv and spoke to her, I told her my specific concerns. Not only did she send me her Facebook and Instagram links along with her resume but also gave me contact information so that I could speak to satisfied customers.
She kept in touch with me leading up to my wedding day and the day before to confirm scheduling and times. At the last minute, I asked if she could do one more lady and she kindly agreed and arrived an hour early.
Throughout the application process, she was pleasant and talkative with all the girls. On the day, I chose to wear glasses as I do every day. Also, I do not typically wear makeup and was worried about looking unnatural on the day. But Viv made me look absolutely beautiful without the makeup being overpowering. I would recommend her to anyone!
I’m a professional dancer and I’ve done my own make-up forever. I have also had my makeup done by great artists and some not so great ones so I had very high standards when choosing someone for my wedding.
When looking for a make-up artist for my wedding, it took me up until 1 month to the day to feel that I could trust someone to make me look and feel more beautiful than I could after doing my own make-up for the last 20+ years. That person was Vivian. From the moment we chatted on the phone to the big day, I never looked back and am so grateful for her professionalism, skill and knowledge.
Vivian made me feel more beautiful on my wedding day than I could have ever hoped. She was incredible to work with – a calm, cool and collected presence – and so willing to hear and listen to what I had to say or offer throughout the process. She understood me and listened to what I wanted and only added onto my thoughts and feelings as to how I wanted to look and feel. Vivian is personable and fun and such a wonderful and easy person to work with that I could have said nothing and still come out with absolutely incredible results.
The day of, I felt as though I was wearing nothing and when looking in the mirror, my skin was flawless, my eyes popped and my lips were the perfect pinkish red -- always a sign of an incredible makeup artist. I felt naturally beautiful. I felt like me and that is not something that can be done by just anyone.
Vivian also did make-up for my bridesmaids and they looked absolutely stunning. She personalized their looks the day of and even though all looked different, they looked and felt just as amazing as I did!
I would highly recommend Vivian to anyone for any occasion and will sign her praises forever.
As I get my photos back from my photographer, my makeup was flawless from ceremony to reception which is so important for a bride. I would work with Vivian every day if I could and feel so blessed to have had her with me on my wedding day.
