desires for the day of my wedding. My makeup was flawless all night! My bridesmaids looked so beautiful and her team that did my aunt and mother made them look incredible too. I truly recommend having Nikki and her team. She was amazing! Thank you so much!

hape on point!
I also hired them for my bridal trial makeup and bridal makeup! Nikki is amazing and is so prompt and kind. Her smile is amazing and she knows how to treat her customers and listen! I could truly go on about my wedding day makeup! Prices were appropriate and affordable. Leanna was the assistant and did an amazing job on my mom and one of bridesmaids! I wish I could post all the pictures but here are just a few! 12/10 would recommend them for brow waxing and makeup services I cannot speak on behalf of any other services but could trust them completely if I moved forward with anything else! Thank you gals so much you made me feel like a princess!! ❤️❤️
Got married back in March and Nikki did my makeup and I cannot recommend anyone better than her!! She did such an amazing job and she has such a great personality and any other eve...
nts I have I’m definitely calling her to do my makeup!
TLDR; Nikki is a great makeup artist and will bring the energy and liveliness to your special day!
I had originally used sites like The Knot to find a makeup artist, but for some...
reason, nothing I found seemed to be to my liking. So I went to Instagram and used hashtags to find some makeup artists and reach out for information.
From the beginning, Nikki was prompt, thorough and very helpful. I really liked that she laid out all her pricing information right away, which some vendors take a while to do. She does all her contract information via e-mail, which is *VERY IMPORTANT* when it comes to something as pricy as a wedding.
I went in for my first trial, and knew that I wanted Nikki to do my makeup. She has the charm and energy of 1 million people in one body. We did a few similar makeup looks from some inspiration pictures I brought. I did two trials before I found what I liked in my makeup.
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I ended up doing a makeup lesson with Nikki, and I am no less convinced that she is amazing. Nikki was thorough and provided so much information while she taught me how to do the look I wanted for my wedding. She provided a full makeup list after the lesson to help my find everything I needed to complete my look.
Day of, I was able to complete my makeup look with no trouble thanks to Nikki. I got many compliments on my makeup and I have Nikki to thank for that! If you're reading this Nikki, thank you so much! And to all other looking for a makeup artist, Nikki is great no matter what type of look you are looking for!
Nikki is beyond amazing! She truly made me feel like a princess on my wedding day! Not only does she make you feel at ease, she is very professional, and truly listens to what you ...
want and like and makes your dreams a reality! Not only did I look FLAWLESS on my wedding day, my makeup lasted ALL day during 85 degree Southern California summer heat, and through the sweat of dancing all night long; no touch ups needed besides lipstick after dinner! I will always 100% recommend Nikki to anyone!
Book her NOW! :) I absolutely LOVE her. She's retro, she's vintage, she's modern!! She will enhance your natural beauty. During the bridal trial she listens to your likes, and dis...
likes and just simply works her magic. She absolutely made me look stunning.
Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!!
Nikki was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is very professional, pays close attention to detail and is a joy to be around! From the beginning, Nikki outlined in great detail ...
prices and expectations within her contract. She kept in communication with me throughout the process and made recommendations that complemented my features. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and did my makeup just as we planned during our make-up trial and it was flawless! Thank you Nikki!
Nikki’s is THE BEST! I’ll start with arguably the most important, she is just amazingly talented. I’ve never felt more beautiful than the times she’s done my makeup. I had a more a...
lternative look as a bride since I had a Halloween themed wedding, and she definitely rocked it! I was really happy to find such a versatile artist who can do any look you’re going for and do it so well.
Meeting Nikki is like making a new friend. She’s down to earth, very bubbly, and it’s obvious how passionate she is about her career. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by your vendor choices when planning a wedding but as soon as I met Nikki I knew I had to have her as my makeup artist. If give her more stars if I could!!
We had the privilege of worming with Nikki at one of our weddings and she is now number ONE on our referral list. We can't stress how important good makeup is and every one of her ...
girls GLOWED the whole day. Even through dancing their makeup was flawless and her talent is sadly hard to find in the wedding industry. As a photo/video team who's shot over 100 weddings, we know good makeup when we see it. The other reason Nikki is number one on our vendor list is because SHE CARES. She doesn't just make you look beautiful, she makes you feel beautiful. Her joyful personality is contagious even at 8am. She goes above and beyond to give you the best morning on your wedding day and I can honestly say that is PRICELESS. The mornings tend to be a little more fast paced and stressful, but not with Nikki, she really takes care of her clients. We believe in and love Nikki with our whole hearts and think you will to. xoxo
I cannot begin to sing the praises of Nikki. Nikki isn't a make up artist, she is a visionary. She is a professional in every sense of the word. I had talked to a few other makeup ...
artists and they were all about hiding this or asking which celebrity I wanted to look like on my wedding day - to which my answer was I didn't want to hide anything and I wanted to look like myself, not someone else.
From moment one I was impressed with Nikki. Not just her amazing professionalism, but her talent as well. After our trial I had to keep myself from crying. I looked in the mirror and was surprised it was me looking back. The me I always saw, but more beautiful, refined, and flawless. It was exactly how I had envisioned myself on my wedding day. I had always seen myself as an old Hollywood glamour style bride, and that is exactly what I got.
The day of my wedding she was perfect. She was on-time, came fully prepared (she brings everything with her), and set up in a flash. Nikki listened to each of my bridal party as to how they wanted to look and make sure it fit into my vision of my very special day. Everyone was impressed with her. I cannot sing her praises enough. Nikki was one of the best investments I made in my wedding. You would be crazy not to hire her.
Finding a great makeup artist for the day of my wedding was one of my top priorities! As soon as I found Nikki and began communicating with her there was no doubt on my mind she wa...
s the best choice out there! She’s so talented at what she does, So I knew that whatever look I decided to go with she’d nail it, and that she did. Everyone in my bridal party absolutely loved having her because just her great charisma and wonderful personality made our time getting ready that much more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a responsible, punctual, and professional makeup artist who exceeds at her work and brings the best vibes during your bridal trial and the day of the wedding, well I have to say, look no further you’ve found the best girl here! Thanks Nikki, you rock❤️
Where to even begin on how amazing Nikki is with makeup! I started off going to her a few years ago to do my makeup for fun nights out with my girlfriends or parties, she did a ran...
ge from full glam to pinup to a more natural glam on me - each time exceeding my expectations! When the time came when I needed to choose a makeup artist for the biggest day of my life, I knew exactly who to get in touch with! Nikki made me look like an absolute princess on my wedding day. We did a bridal trial a few months before and she took the ideas I had for my look and made pure magic with it. She really listens to what YOU want and makes suggestions on how to achieve that. It truly feels like you have a personal makeup artist when booking with her. She was always available via text or phone when I had any questions or ideas on my wedding look. She suggested pre-wedding skin care routines and regimes to make sure my skin was perfect the day of and suggestions of what to do a few days before, the day before and day of my wedding. When it came to the wedding day, she was punctual, had an amazing makeup kit and lighting equipment with her and a super comfy makeup chair! She did my sister, mother and mother in law as well as my makeup - all different looks and each one came out stunning. You will not regret booking with Nikki! She does beautiful work and has an amazing heart and personality and she will make you feel like complete royalty when working with her. Book now! :)
Nikki made me look like a movie star on my wedding day! She’s so professional and also so sweet! I would recommend her to anyone looking to get their makeup done 😊😊
I was a bridesmaid and Nikki did my makeup, and she did such an amazing job! The bride wanted a more vintage look and Nikki nailed it. She was so sweet and easy going, really nice ...
to talk to as well! She was very professional, arrived early to set up and we started right on time. Everyone's makeup lasted all day, even with the 90 degree southern California heat. All the bridesmaids and the bride looked stunning. I highly recommend her for your makeup needs!
Nikki did such a beautiful job with one of the bride we got the chance to recently work with! Nikki's incredibly professional, easy to work with, and has a wonderful calm manner. T...
he bride was very pleased with her make-up. Looking forward to work with Nikki once again!
Nikki is AMAZING!!! She is so nice, easy to work with and has so many great ideas. I don't wear make-up in my daily life at all, so I was literally I blank canvas and she made me l...
ook gorgeous! We did a test trial about a month of and on the day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly. So many guests complimented my fabulous glitter eye shadow throughout the nice, and my bridal party was so happy - she gave each of them individual looks that matched their own style. Hire Nikki!! You will not be disappointed!! Side note - I HIGHLY recommend booking Nikki to stay for touch-ups. I was a sobbing mess at the first look, Nikki quickly touched me up in time for the ceremony, where again I was a sobbing mess and she touched me up again! Worth every penny!
Nikki did my makeup for my wedding and I have never felt more beautiful!! As someone who wears minimal makeup, I was nervous about doing the false eyelashes she recommended, but bo...
y did they make a difference! I looked bright, well rested and 10 years younger, (but not overdone), and received so many genuine compliments from my friends and family that day. Since then, I've attended several of Nikki's informative classes. She is extremely knowledgeable, has an upbeat and friendly personality, and can create any look. I plan on contacting her again for a few upcoming functions later this year where I will need to look my best.
Nikki is amazing!
She did our make up for my sisters wedding and everyone looked so beautiful.
She takes her time, listens to what you want, and is truly passionate about what sh...
e does.
She will make you look more flawless than you already are.
After getting my make up done by her as a bridesmaid I am Most definently having her do mine as a bride next year!!
If I could leave more than 5 Stars, I would. I initially emailed Nikki in regards to Bridal makeup and her response time was remarkably fast, which is a lovely change of pace from ...
some artists in the industry. After emailing back and forth for a bit, I knew she was the perfect artist for my big day and booked her immediately.
Her rates are incredibly reasonable with a knock-out portfolio. She was so kind and accommodating (I was traveling from out of state and she was more than willing to meet me at my hotel).
She kept in contact with me during the few months leading up to the appointment allowing me to send her inspiration photos.
The day of the trial she was incredibly punctual. She took the time to set up, ask and answer any questions I had and got to work. (Ladies, I have to add that Nikki took great care to make sure that everything she used was sanitary which was great!) A short while and a lot of laughs later, my trial was done and I was OVER THE MOON! It was exactly what I had wanted.
The next day was my big event , and true to form, it went just as well as the trial.
Do yourself a favor and book Nikki for your makeup. She's professional, charismatic, caring and precise. I wish I could fly her to the East Coast for my makeup every day now!
Nikki was amazing!!!! 10 out of 10 would definitely have her beautify me again. Very friendly, sweet and professional. Definitely knows her stuff. Thanks again Nikki for making me ...
feel like a princess ❤️
