Her online portal makes is so easy to pay in installments, Leading up to my big day, I had two phone calls with Nadine to go over the final details.

and was being really annoying and Nadine treaded those waters with ease! All of our make up stayed on the whole day and night and it was over 90° when I got married. She is sweet and accommodating to everyone and listened to what they all preferred. She was great with my mom who never had her make up done before, and more recently entertained my 3 year old niece with some sparkle at my sister’s wedding! She will give you the look you’re looking for. I use her for all of my make up needs for every event! You will receive a ton of compliments. I cannot recommend her enough because she’s so great at what she does!
Nadie is incredibly talented at what she does and if you are looking for someone that has the ability to make you feel like she has a magic wand she is your artist.

as available for all my personal or professional events. Nadie was able to adapt to all my makeup look needs. She is highly professional and was able to make me look and feel great for all of my events. Her work is flawless and I was given complements at each event. As someone who wears only mascara(if that) in my day to day life she was able to give me classic yet sophisticated looks that boosted my confidence every time her services were provided. Her attention to detail is unparalleled with other MUA's with her tenacity to maintain a prompt/adaptable MUA schedule for my event dates. Above all else, the professional care Nadie provides to her clients is why I'll will always be a repeat client.
Bonus: my eyebrows have never looked this good in my entire life.
Nadie is seriously the best! I received many compliments my whole wedding night on how me and my bridesmaids looked incredible. She was very easy to reach and was always available ...

kindness, thoughtfulness and understanding is just the icing on the cake. There are not enough words to describe how great she is just all around. By far the BEST MUA I have ever encountered. She did the makeup for my entire bridal party, moms and myself for my wedding. My girls looked absolutely stunning! And for me, she honestly made me look and feel sooo absolutely beautiful for my day. My makeup stood the entire day, more than 12 hours. I didn’t look overdone, I looked like ME! A beautiful version of me. I have never felt or looked more beautiful in my entire life and she did it effortlessly. I give her 10 stars, all around.
This girl works miracles and magic through her makeup brush ! Loved how gorgeous I looked. I am extremely grateful for her work. My bridesmaids look beautiful as well !
