I am new to the area and found Flawless Beauty online for my wedding day hair and makeup. They all were absolutely amazing! Nicole was so welcoming, and made sure to ask me how my wedding plans were going. Shiy did my hair, and she did the perfect half up half down style for me. She even went out of her way to buy hair accessories for my wedding day. Alex did my makeup. It was perfect! I wanted a soft glam look, and she did exactly that. Jessica was so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to make me feel beautiful and supported on such an important day—thank you, Flawless Beauty!

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole from Flawless Beauty for my daughter’s wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She absolutely slayed my makeup! Nicole is truly talented—she understood exactly the look I wanted and executed it perfectly. My makeup stayed flawless throughout the day and evening, looking stunning in both photos and in person. She was professional, punctual, and a joy to be around during such a special occasion. I highly recommend her for any event where you want to look and feel your best!

Nicole was so amazing to work with. She was able to execute the vision I wanted perfectly. I didn’t want to take off my make up at the end of the night, it was still perfect. The entire process of working with her was seamless! I can’t wait to book with her again, and send everyone I know to her!

Nicole was nothing but AMAZING!! I have gone to her since I was in high school for my formal events so it was a no brainer to have her & her team as my team for my wedding day. She delivered every single thing I asked for and more and did it with such ease. She was clear with communication and made myself and every bridesmaid feel so beautiful. What I loved most about Nicole was I felt like myself on my wedding day but just elevated- it was exactly what I wanted and my makeup looked flawless the entire night. Each girl also got a mini touch up kit included for the night too. The day was perfect thanks to her and her team!

I’m thrilled that you and your bridal party felt beautiful and that everything was exactly how you envisioned—elevated yet authentically you. Knowing your makeup stayed flawless all night and that the day was perfect brings me so much joy. Thank you for allowing me and my team to share in such a memorable day. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

We were flying into Chicago for a wedding and booked Nicole from LA! Her open and friendly communication made us feel comfortable and confident that she would show up for us on the important day. She brought everything she needed and more! I loved the mini-facial we got at the start. She was sweet and fun and was able to complete two very different looks in record time. And she even helped us get a little BTS content! I wish she lived in LA so I could hire her again.

ng me for such an important day is truly an honor—I’m so glad I could deliver! I’m thrilled you loved the mini facial and that we were able to create two stunning looks (and sneak in some BTS content!). It was such a joy working with you, and honestly, I might just need to consider setting up shop in LA if all my clients are as sweet as you! Until then, let me know whenever you’re back in Chicago..I’d love to glam you up again!
Flawless Regards,

Nicole is a sweetheart and went above and beyond to make sure that I had the look that I wanted for my big day. She was very professional, on time, and delivered the exact service that I requested. I felt absolutely stunning on my big day and my bridesmaids looked amazing as well! I would definitely recommend Nicole to other brides and I’d for sure use her again myself for future events!

Thank you so much for making me look beautiful on my Birthday. My makeup stayed gorgeous all day and all night. I would've loved your services for my Wedding Day, but you was booked, which is that's understandable. But you made up for it for my Birthday. I was very satisfied with her work and would like to thank her for adding so much shine to my Birthday! Great work. She is very professional and I really loved the makeup. Thank you for making my day even more special. Thank you so much!

I was searching for a MUA for my wife & I anniversary party when I came across Nicole. I booked her for my daughter’s Sweet 16 . Nicole goes over & beyond customer service. Nicole made sure my daughter was comfortable. She listened & advised to our concerns about her skin. Nicole’s eye for perfecting the color tones & perfecting imperfections is definitely flawless. I am in awe with how she naturally enhanced my daughter’s features. I honestly can’t wait until it’s “OUR” time to shine!! Thank you Nicole!!!!

Thank you is not nearly enough to say for how Nicole made me look and feel on my wedding day!
She is a true artist who created a work of art!
I looked and felt like a princess. Not only was she amazing during the make-up trial, she was over-the-top amazing on the day of the wedding. She was so calm and collected, threw on some great music and rolled with it as lots of people (including a 4 year old) were all over the room. She made EVERYONE feel like it was just a bunch of ladies hanging out, getting beautiful!
I hope to have another fancy occasion so I can work with her again!
Thank you so much for making me feel beautiful!

I was referred to Nicole by my hair stylist friend for my wedding. I also looked at her Pinterest and was all about the glam style that she does! I did a makeup trial with her and she was friendly, professional and in tune with my vision! She came to my house to do makeup for my 3 bridesmaids, my mom, and myself. Everyone loved their makeup and felt beautiful and confident. I received a lot of compliments on my makeup and couldn't have been happier!

I lucked out when I booked Nicole. My hairdresser is a longtime friend of Nicole and she highly recommended her. Nicole's mom is her "momager" and was very professional in our correspondence. I did not choose a trial run, and I knew that was very risky. However, I trusted my hairdresser and saw her clients on her website. I just had a feeling about her. She was prompt, prepared, accommodating and really knows make-up. She brought an assistant and my bridesmaid and mother really liked her! I typically do not wear much make-up, so I wanted to look natural, but also keep the look all night, as our ceremony led right into the reception. My make-up was completed by noon and we did not start pictures until about 3:00 pm. Our ceremony started shortly after 6:00 pm and ....my make-up was FLAWLESS, just like she named her company. I chose to be airbrushed, believe me, I really did not know much about it, but she educated me and what would probably be best for the look I desired. I found her service to be exceptional!!!

I can't express how pleased I was with my service provided by Flawless Beauty by Nicole Richardson and her staff. Nicole is truly blessed with a special gift as an amazing artist with such a bright future ahead ;she is so professional and has such a sweet spirit. My bridal party and I looked amazing 5 of my bridesmaids had airbrush makeup and the other half went with traditional makeup and we all looked flawless which both last from 7am til after midnight. The only thing that we had to touch up was our lips with lipstick that was provided to us by Nicole. Since my wedding I'm proud to say that 2 of my guests have now booked Flawless Beauty by Nicole Richardson for their weddings! I will continue to use Nicole as my makeup artist for all my special events!

Nicole was my makeup artist for my wedding last weekend, and she is WONDERFUL! She did such a great job. She not only did my makeup, but also some of my bridesmaids' makeup. Everyone looked stunning! Some of the girls had ideas for their makeup, but most of them just trusted Nicole to work her magic, and everyone looked great! Nicole did airbrush and eyelashes on everyone, which was awesome. Her co-worker (also named Nicole) did makeup for the rest of the girls (they wanted traditional makeup), and they also looked gorgeous. I very highly recommend Nicole and her team at Flawless Beauty - they are very professional, talented, kind, and just so nice to work with. Thanks, Nicole!

I really enjoyed getting my make up done professionally by Nicole Richardson. I've had my makeup done by several people in the past and none which was to my expectation. So I was nervous during the process. But at first glance in the mirror I was oh so relieved and I can honestly say it was flawless. She was on time with her appointment and everything of a professional with a quality demeanor. I will be referring Nicole to everyone I know and don't know. I look forward to my next big event so I can have my face beat again and again.

I loved my make-up for my wedding and enjoyed working with Nicole. At the practice session, she used different make-up on each side of my face so that I could see which type I liked the best. I am not used to wearing a lot of make-up and she did an amazing job to not make it look caked on or too heavy. I showed her a couple of pictures to get an idea of what I liked and she worked her magic from there! My make-up lasted the whole day even after being outside, shedding some tears, and lots of dancing. The only suggestion I would have is to make sure you think through the scheduling and give her enough time to work as we were a bit crunched for time at the end. Nicole is extremely nice, very professional, and does truly great work which I would recommend to anyone!

Nicole is the epitome of a professional. My wedding was a surprise to many and it was very intimate. I told Nicole about all circumstances regarding my BIG DAY and she seriously took it with a grain of salt. When i got there she was so incredibly hospitable and she was as excited about my BIG DAY as I was. I honestly wanted to stick with my regular smokey eye for that day but when I told Nicole about it she knew exactly how to transcend it into wedding makeup. When I say that I mean it was not as strong as nighttime makeup and more distinct then everyday makeup. My sister and best friend were there with me taking pictures and they were super amazed during my transformation. The one thing I love about Nicole is that she makes you still look like yourself but just flawless to the tenth power. Needless to say I loved every inch of my makeup it could not have been any more perfect. After she finished with my makeup she made sure to pack some foam wedges and lipstick so if I needed to reapply I could. The most special part of that whole day was that my husband even loved my makeup. He is not a fan of makeup but he loved that I still looked like me but with more of a "glow".
Nicole Richardson with Flawless Beauty is a genius!!! I love her and her work ethic and I am telling all of you she is your girl...especially for your BIG DAY!!!

I could not have been happier with Nicole! She is professional, very kind, and is a great artist! From the moment I met her, I knew that I was in good hands. She is clearly passionate about her work and I am so happy that I found her. Several guests commented on how beautiful my make-up was (no kidding!).
The wedding planning process can be stressful, particularly when working with so many vendors. I can honestly say, though, that my experience with Nicole was nothing but positive. I don't take reviews lightly as I relied upon them a great deal and know that there are so many options to choose from. If I had to do it over again, I can honestly say that without hesitation I would choose Nicole. She is amazingly talented, efficient, and great at what she does. Thank you Nicole!

If you truly want to look flawless on your perfect day, Nicole is who you need to call. She is amazing at what she does and can handle anything you ask her to do! On my wedding day it was very important to trust my makeup artist and know exactly what I was going to get. I met Nicole through a common friend who used her for modeling events and I was amazed at her work and her talent. She works with you to decided what you like and what will work best with your skin tone. For an incredible experience, give her a call and at the very least to get a consultation! I promise you will be extremely impressed! On your wedding day your face is SO important, thanks to Nicole mine was flawless and so were my pictures.

I've utilized Nicole many times here in IL and each time was a wonderful experience. When I decided to get married in St. Martin I couldn't imagine her not being there to do my makeup on the day I wanted to look more beautiful than ever before.
I was so relieved when we found a way to get her to the island. She come through like she always does and I felt like the most beautiful bride. My bridesmaids and other family that received services were all equally as impressed.
Thanks so much Nicole! I can't wait till the next time I'm in your chair.

I hired Nicole as my makeup artist for my wedding. Not only is she talented, she has an amazing personality. Nicole and one other artist serviced 10 bridesmaids and 1 bride within 5 hours. She is efficient and accurate! Everyone makeup was absolutely beautiful. Nicole's assisting artist was just as talent. She is very professional. I was initially worried about time and the other artist work. Nicole and her other artist was able accommodate all of our needs. Time and Talent is not a factor for Nicole. Her pricing is very reasonable. I enjoyed every moment with her! I give her 5 STARS!! Thanks Nicole for making my day special! By the way her Mom/Manager(Shannon) is amazing too.. They are great duo for all your makeup needs! :)
