Lisbon on Dec 2024

I recently had a makeup session with Vanessa from Vanessa Chabert Makeup and Hair for my coworker's wedding, and she did an amazing job. I wanted a natural look, and she nailed it perfectly. In the past, I've had experiences where my makeup looked too unnatural, but Vanessa really understood what I was going for. She also gave me useful tips on which eyeshadow matched my eye color and skin tone, plus advice on the best brands. She was able to detail me at what time I should have the appointment and her availability as well. Her prices were very reasonable compared to others I considered. She's super polite with a bubbly personality that makes you feel welcome. I've already recommended her to a colleague!

Lilia did my makeup for an event, and I have to say, she nailed it. Without giving her a specific look to go for, she chose the perfect style that really brought out my eyes and gave them a lift with her eyeliner technique. My hooded eyes usually make it hard for makeup to last, but thanks to Lilia's use of base, primer, and fixing spray, my look stayed fresh all night without any touch-ups. She's got a full arsenal of top-notch products like Natasha Denona and MAC which she skillfully matched to my skin type and tone. Also appreciated how clean her brushes were. Plus, I got some great tips on managing oily skin and properly applying eyeliner and highlighter; it was like a mini makeup tutorial! I definitely recommend booking Lilia; you'll get more than just stunning makeup—you'll learn something too!

Lilia did my makeup for an event and honestly, she exceeded my expectations. The final look was not only identical to what I asked for but also tailored perfectly to suit my face. Her products are top-notch – they kept my makeup intact despite my teary eyes from the wind. It was almost a shame to take it off at the end of the day because it still looked so fresh. She had a vast array of products that I didn't even know existed, but I trusted her expertise completely. Hygiene is clearly important to Lilia; everything was disinfected right before use, and her products seemed very fresh due to frequent restocks. On top of all that, she shared valuable beauty tips throughout the session and recommended products specific for my skin type. Highly recommend her services!

I recently had a makeup and hair styling session with Vanessa at Vanessa Chabert Makeup and Hair for a company party, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I don't usually wear makeup, but Vanessa gave me the natural look I wanted, which was exactly what I expected. She was super friendly and professional, making it easy to organize our schedules together. During the session, she shared helpful tips on products available in Lisbon that suit my style. Her English is great too, which made communication smooth. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

Lilia did an amazing job with my makeup for an event. She nailed the eye-focused look I wanted, and it stayed put all night. She offers a wide range of products from high-end brands like Chanel and NARS, which was impressive. I noticed her cleanliness too; she had all clean brushes ready to use. Lilia even recommended some blush and concealer that have worked out great for me. Her communication skills are top-notch – really easy-going and friendly. The quality of her work gave me a flawless complexion, plus she created a relaxing atmosphere with coffee and music while she worked. Timing was spot on; I didn't feel rushed at any point. The price felt justified considering the premium products used, and Lilia's kindness made the whole experience very comfortable. Overall, my experience was so positive that I'm definitely planning to revisit Lilia next time I need makeup services in Portugal. Thanks again!

I recently booked a makeup and hair session with Vanessa from Vanessa Chabert Makeup and Hair for a corporate photoshoot. One thing that I really like about her is that she gives you a natural look that still enhances you, and I was aiming for exactly that. I wasn't sure about what I wanted for my hair, but she figured it out perfectly for me. Her quick service combined with great quality really impressed me. I've already recommended her to a friend because of how satisfied I was with the results.

Why we created Locallista?

As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
