Makeup By Vega

Makeup By Vega is a makeup business run by Vega, who describes herself as a first-generation Cuban American. She first started doing makeup in 2009 while working at The Body Shop in Norfolk, and after five years of weekend and early-morning bookings she made it her full-time work in April 2014. According to the site, she has spent more than a decade working in beauty.

For weddings, the business provides on-location bridal hair and makeup, with both trial and wedding day appointments. Bridal packages come with a free set of false lashes and a touch-up kit. Personal makeup, with or without hair, is offered for occasions such as proms, headshots, baby showers, graduations and photoshoots, and the site mentions experience working in both natural and studio lighting. Vega also teaches makeup classes one-on-one, in small groups and virtually. She offers a personal shopping service to help clients put together a makeup bag, and makeup guidance for men, including covering dark circles and building a self care routine.
