Nicole is not only incredibly thorough & quick, but also extremely talented. I also had the pleasure of having two incredible Hydrafacials with her leading up to my wedding, which made a huge difference in prepping my skin for my wedding day. She is incredibly knowledgeable about skin types, skincare, and modern makeup trends, and it shows in her work.
On my wedding day, I literally looked like a porcelain doll. My makeup was flawless, photographed beautifully, and stayed perfect all day and night…it looked exactly the same right up until I washed it off. No creasing, no fading, no touch-ups needed.
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Nicole. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, current with makeup looks, and genuinely cares about her clients! BOOK HER!!!!

dback and happily played around with different ideas until we found the perfect look.
On the wedding day, she was on time, worked quickly to stay on schedule, and still did an excellent job. She checked in with all my bridesmaids to make sure they loved their makeup and made adjustments if anyone wanted changes. Nicole was SO fun to be around, chatting with her was one of my favorite parts of the morning! She kept me calm and relaxed, which is priceless on such a big day.
Most importantly, she made me feel beautiful inside and out, and my photos turned out PERFECT! I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup and didn’t want to look like a different person, and she nailed it. She applied just enough to make my photos look stunning while still highlighting my favorite features, like my eyes. My makeup lasted all day—from 7 a.m. until the after-party at 2 a.m.—and still looked just like it was freshly applied even though many happy tears were shed throughout the evening.
We had a large party (12 women total), and Nicole arranged for a second artist, who was also fantastic. They were a great team, and it was reassuring that Nicole chose someone she had worked with before. I honestly cannot recommend Nicole enough! I’m already looking forward to the next event so she can do my makeup again. My only regret is not having her do my engagement photos too!
If you want your photos to be perfection and still look like yourself and have fun with your glam squad, I highly recommend investing in Nicole as your MUA.

Her lash lift services are flawless—natural, elegant, and long-lasting—perfect for engagement events, the rehearsal, and the wedding day itself since I’m not a fan of fake lashes.Â
Nicole is truly an artist when it comes to makeup. She takes the time to understand your goals and works with you to achieve your special look. She does an amazing job at enhancing your natural features.
Beyond her talent, Nicole is calm, professional, and genuinely caring—exactly the energy you want while planning a wedding. She made every appointment relaxing and special.
