Top notch, flexible and so sweet!

Nicole made my day extra special! First off, she was beyond flexible. I had last minute people who wanted makeup and hair done and she made it happen with no complaints!
I was extra picky about my hair and although she did an amazing look at my trial, it wasn’t my vibe. She was so understanding and made my vision come to life on my wedding day!
My make up was EXACTLY what I envisioned. She really listens and takes her time.
All the little things matter, like taking staged pics of getting ready for the videographer and photographer. She goes the extra mile and is so sweet and caring!!!
She made me feel like an absolute princess and did such and amazing job. 15/10 would recommend!

AMAZING! Highly recommend!

Nicole was amazing. As a woman who does not wear a lot of make up and has freckles that I did not want to be covered for my wedding day, it was very challenging to put my trust into a make up artist for my most special day. Nicole was FANTASTIC! She did a wonderful natural glam and was able to assure me prior to scheduling with her that she has a plan for make up routine.

I would happily work with her again and I highly recommend her services!

Book with Nicole for your wedding!!

If there is one thing to take away from reading this long review I am about to write, let me just say BOOK NICOLE FOR YOUR WEDDING ASAP! First, she is the most genuine, sweetest person you will meet and want by your side for your wedding day. Secondly, a make-up artist and esthetician all in one? What more can you ask for? When I found Nicole’s business and past reviews from others, I knew I wanted her for my wedding day! I have always been insecure about my skin and wanted to feel my very best on my wedding day, which is exactly how I felt thanks to her! I did her Bridal Boot Camp package (do it you won’t regret it) and my skin was the best it ever looked and felt leading up to my wedding day. Not only did I love my make-up and look for my wedding day, but my 7 bridesmaids and my mother (yes she did all 9 of us by herself cause she is a rockstar) all loved their looks as well and could not say enough about Nicole as a make-up artist and person overall. We had the best time hanging out with her in our getting ready suite and she made each of us feel the most beautiful without overdoing it and not looking like ourselves. She can go as natural or glammed up as you request. Having my skin and make up look perfect was a top priority for my wedding and Nicole went above and beyond at every facial appointment and the week leading up to my wedding day to make sure we accomplished just that. BONUS**** She also does airbrush tanning and I last minute decided I wanted a little something extra to boost my overall look and we got my airbrush done with a trial before and the actual one two days before my wedding and I was so happy with that service as well! Nicole made me feel like the most beautiful bride and it really came across well because so many guests told me how beautiful I looked. Lastly, after my make up trial I decided to sleep in my make up (I know should never do this and I usually do not) but I wanted to see if it would stay all night long and let me tell ya, I woke up and my make up looked the same as when we applied it. On my actual wedding I did not have to touch up or check my make up at all, just reapplied some lipstick as my night went on feeling flawless thanks to her. She is a make-up magician and I love her! We keep regular facial appointments now. Book her!
