About

My experience as a makeup artist includes television and film (HD), photography, corporate, live and special events, as well as bridal. I have worked with corporate clients on ad campaigns for print, television, film, web and billboard. You may have spotted some of my work on Fox News, the cover of Grand Rapids Magazine, the blog 100 Layer Cake and just recently I received the 2014 Couples Choice Award from WeddingWire. I am also a licensed cosmetologist.

The main reason I love makeup, is because of my need for creating art. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a degree in Art and Design, emphasis in oil painting. The transition from a career in fine art, to a career in makeup, happened naturally after college. I simply feel as though I switched canvases. Makeup is just as much an art form to me as my oil paints were.

During and after college, I also fell head-over-heels with the wonderful city of Grand Rapids, and couldn’t move away. I've lived here nearly 10 years now, and share a little cape cod with my fluffy kitty Periwinkle.

Alex is an amazing makeup artist and very professional, while letting her beautiful personality shine. It was a pleasure having my makeup done for my engagement photos and my wedding day. Each look was different per my request with the engagement makeup playing up my eyes and wedding day being an enhancement of everyday makeup. I loved both looks equally. She has mastered the art of playing up your bast attributes, but making sure to let your natural beauty shine! I look forward to finding an excuse to use her in the future!

I could not be happier with my wedding makeup from Alexandra Nicole! Allie is very professional, talented, and sweet. She does such a wonderful job and is so flexible and kind! And as a bonus, she will make you look like a million bucks! The makeup application that she did for me lasted all day, through all of the tears and dancing later on! I highly recommend doing the airbrush technique for a wedding. It makes you look so flawless, but not fake at all, and it really lasts. She is also very flexible with how heavy of a makeup job you want done. So if you are into more of a natural look, she will absolutely accommodate you and still make sure you look amazing. I will definitely be recommending her to friends and future brides that I meet.

Alexandra is a lifesaver!!! My other makeup artist had canceled the night before my wedding. We called Alexandra up and she came before another appointment she already had. She had never done a run through with me, but was so professional and did my make up perfectly!! I am so grateful for her help on the biggest day of my life, she made me look flawless and I would recommend her to ANYONE! :)
