Cannot recommend Nicole enough!

Nicole worked her magic for my wedding day recently, which included myself, 3 bridesmaids and 2 mothers. Both my mum and mother in law were quite nervous about having their makeup done so we did trials beforehand where Nicole talked through each step to make them feel comfortable before the big day. Not only is Nicole super talented, she’s incredibly friendly with her warm bubbly personality. We had the best morning getting ready and everyone felt amazing. Thank you so much Nicole! 🤍

Amazing!!!

Nicole was absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her for my trial she was so kind and warm and made me feel so at ease. Nicole did my make up, all my bridesmaids and mother of the bride. She was professional, fun, so easy to get along with and we all looked INCREDIBLE! I cannot recommend her enough and will 100% be using her services in the future. All my bridal party commented on how lovely and fun she was. Thank you again Nicole xxx I will see you very soon for my eyelashes xxx

Wonderful experience


Nicole did the make-up for my daughter Alice’s wedding and she was absolutely amazing! She made Alice look so beautiful and also created gorgeous looks for the bridesmaids and myself. The make-up lasted perfectly all day and everyone felt confident and glowing. Nicole was friendly, calming and professional from start to finish, and she helped make the whole wedding morning feel so special. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

The Best About

Nicole was just amazing from trial right through to the day its self. Nicole really listened to my vision and helped create the look I dreamt of. My bridesmaids too were thrilled and have all asked for Nicole's details so they can use her again. Nicole was able to provide the perfect make up for a range of skin tones which lasted all day. She was prompt, reliable and just a joy to have with us on the morning of the wedding. Thank you Nicole for all your work on the day.

THE best makeup artist ever!!

Well what can I say about Nicole! She has been amazing from the day I contacted her for quotes. Nicole was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so pleased I booked her ❤️
On the Wedding Day Nicole made me feel so relaxed and I’ve never had so many compliments about my make up, the makeup lasted all night and didn’t move!
Absolutely the best make up artist around.

100000% best make up artist 🩷🩷

I had booked Nicole for my wedding make up when I had attended a wedding where she did the make up for the bride and bridal party.
She was absolutely amazing with the help and support she gave us before the big day with all the information about trails and what to do with our skins before hand(which you don’t release).
On my wedding morning she was so clam which really helped us all to relax. And honestly where do I start about the make up, when I tell you I’ve never been sooooo confident in my skin before. She made me look so beautiful and I was getting so many compliments on it through out the day.

I would 100000% recommend Nicole to anyone out there who is looking for their wedding make up artist or to anyone who need any type of make up/ brows or lashes. I will definitely be booking in with Nicole for all my events and definitely to keep up with the brows 😂
Love you lots Nicole thank you so much for being so kind and caring towards me and my girls 🩷

Wedding make up

Nicole was recommended to me for wedding makeup. Nicole did my bridal make up and make up for the mother of the bride and three teenage bridesmaids. My mum and I had a trial which ensured on the day we all knew exactly what we were doing. Nicole ensured we were involved in selecting products combining her experience and judgement with our preferences so that we felt natural and special on the day. I would highly recommend Nicole and will definitely use her again.

Brilliant wedding make up!

I highly recommend Nicole for wedding make up. I don't really wear make up usually so I wanted wedding make up that wasn't too heavy so I still looked like my usual self and didn't feel uncomfortable. During the make up trial Nicole tried several different options and really listened to what I wanted, to make sure that I was completely happy with the planned look.
On the day itself Nicole was calm and professional and lovely, and I absolutely loved the final result. She also did an amazing job for my bridesmaids and my mum, giving them make up that suited them perfectly despite them not having trials beforehand. Absolutely brilliant service, thank you Nicole :)

Perfect Makeup

I came across Nicole as she was local to my wedding venue. She went above and beyond for me ensuring I was happy with my makeup trial before my big day. Both my sister and I were worried about the makeup feeling too heavy but Nicole did the perfect job and my makeup felt great all day. Nothing was too much trouble for Nicole, she always kept me updated leading up to the wedding with what would happen the morning of the wedding! Highly recommend!

Fantastic make up artist

I came on hitched and saw Nicole by chance. I’m so glad I did as what a fantastic make up artist she really is. So professional and friendly. Nothing was too much for her. I was going through chemo and lost my eyebrows and was so worried about my wedding day and if I’d look silly, but Nicole took those fears away from me and did such a fantastic job at making me feel so beautiful. All my bridesmaids were so happy with how they looked. And the make up lasted all day and all night. You won’t regret booking Nicole x

AMAZING! So talented!

I was so nervous about having my makeup done by someone else for the first time ever. But Nicole put me at ease straight away. She was so informative with all the makeup choices and asked for my input and opinion throughout the trial and even on the day. The makeup looked so great in person - I wanted to feel like myself but enhanced and Nicole achieved just that! The makeup in the professional pictures looked so flawless. I had so many compliments on the day! Would 100% recommend!!

Absolutely perfect

Nicole did such a wonderful job on my wedding day. Her make up looks were flawless, I felt she fully understood what I was looking for and created a look that was just how I wanted. Nicole was adaptable in her make up style so that each of my bridesmaids and mum were happy and comfortable with their make up look.
It was super important to me to have the right kind of people their on my wedding morning so that the atmosphere remained relaxed and positive. Nicole has a lovely personality, she really made me laugh and put me at ease when the nerves were kicking in. I really can’t recommend her enough.

Wonderful makeup artist!

Nicole did my wedding makeup for myself and four bridesmaids. Not only did she make us all feel at ease with her friendly personality but she listened to every one of us and tailored the makeup to suit each individual. I was blown away at my makeup trial and absolutely loved what Nicole achieved, she is extremely talented! Nicole had no problem travelling over 1hr 30 mins to my wedding venue and even with such an early start, she turned up early and made sure we were all ready in plenty of time.
Nicole was faultless from start to finish and I would highly recommend her.

Amazing makeup artist!

Such a fabulous makeup artist. Listened to us and put us all at ease. Everyone was impressed with their makeup, Nicole is so talented from natural makeup for me and my mum (someone who doesn’t wear much makeup) to full coverage for my bridesmaids who love their makeup. Even our little flower girl got some lipgloss and blusher! Thanks Nicole you are fabulous xx
