Introduction: It’s your special day and you want to look like the best version of you! I would absolutely love to be able to make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on your special day!! My passion for makeup began as a young girl and I am so incredibly lucky that I have been a part of so many weddings in the last 11+ years. I specialize in soft bridal glam. However, I enjoy creating a look that suits you as well as your vision! Weddings are my favorite, and I can't wait to be apart of yours.

Hired on Thumbtack

Nicole was absolutely amazing! I hired her to do both mine and my moms makeup for my brothers wedding. She arrived right on time, and got right to work! It is obvious Nicole takes great pride in helping people look & feel beautiful! She is extremely detail oriented and listens to your wants/needs to ensure your goal look is achieved! She uses high quality makeup products, and is very clean/efficient in her makeup application process. I truly look forward to hiring Nicole again- she was an absolute delight! I will always recommend her to anyone in need of an amazing talented makeup artist!

My daughter desperately wanted a Glow Up before starting her sophomore year in college. Nicole provided a great deal of flexibility and was able to work with my daughter’s schedule to squeeze it in. Nicole is very talented at what she does, and she is also incredibly informative, very personable and honest. She provides expert insights while helping you understand what will or will not work with your face shape, color tone and age. She describes what she’s doing and why, and she follows it up by sharing a list of products and best locations to buy. This was an awesome experience for my daughter and I am now planning my own Glow Up party for myself and some friends…because aging skin is a whole new ballgame!

Nicole was absolutely amazing! I’ve always never been big on makeup and have never been comfortable when I see makeup on myself. However, Nicole did an incredible job! Lol I may have questioned how it looked but it looks phenomenal in the photos! Everything looks so soft and natural ☺️☺️💙 would definitely recommend! We had my MIL, 3 girls and myself and everyone looked wonderful ☺️☺️ Adding photos from the photographer. I could not be happier with the results ☺️💙 lol also a close up of me touching up my makeup cuz I goofed it😅🤦🏼‍♀️ For reference, of the girls in red all four except for the far left had their makeup done and the outdoor photo all but the far right had their makeup done. All of us went for a very neutral natural look. Everyone looked wonderful. I chose to opt out for lashes solely because I don’t love the feel and look on me. Nicole is a lovely human and made the day so much more enjoyable 💙💙
