Victoria Gonzalez's a-ha moment as a makeup artist happened several years ago when her best friend, whose face she often fixed, passed away from cancer.  Spurred by her brother to turn her passion for colors and faces into a career, this former trader polished her talents in cources offered by Ricky Reyes and Frank Provost.  Regular Styling assignments with Working Mom (Magazine) helped, too.  Since her first makeup job for the magazine's July 2005 issue, she's been a regular, dolling up a variety of subjects with her self-described clean and minimalist style.

“When doing test make-up before the big day always wear white while experimenting with new shades as your white wedding dress will reflect a totally different colour to your face”.

“Your choice of lipstick should not only enhance your own natural colouring, but should also take into account flower colours and or bridesmaid dresses. All the colours should compliment one another”.
