Why I Do What I Do

I am a people person through and through. I am a confidence builder, a calming influence, and a person who wants to share my knowledge and skills with others. Empowering women to feel good in their skin!

Feeling confident doesn't always require makeup, but it can make you feel more polished and refined. My forte is making others feel amazing every day and on their special wedding day.


I want you to feel and look like you, like the best version of yourself, using colours and tones that enhance what you have.


Before becoming a makeup artist, I had two different makeup counter experiences. I realised how hard it is to recreate the look when you have not been shown how to apply the products used. This drove my desire to help others and be
that person who can show you how to apply makeup. Not every makeup brand has the best products, so my kit is full of different brands and products.

About Nicola

My own makeup journey began at 24 years old, obsessively watching YouTube and reading beauty articles online and in magazines. I never knew “how” to apply makeup and would look at others with envy who looked terrific.

After experiencing the positive impact of makeup on my confidence, I pursued professional training to assist other women with their makeup applications. I wanted to pass on my skills and knowledge to help take the confusion away. I now specialise in makeup lessons for women in their mid-30s and beyond.

My makeup lessons are also suitable for brides wanting to create their own bridal makeup on their wedding day. With years of experience creating makeup for brides and their bridal parties, I would love to pass on my skills and knowledge to you.

 
My goal is to help you create a natural style of makeup with the right products and colours that are suitable for you and will enhance your features.

  • Nicola was a fantastic teacher. She put us at ease and was flexible about what we wanted to get from the lesson, she’s also very knowledgeable. I learned so much from the lesson, and as a result of the lesson have felt confident enough to try the things I learned. The lesson was personal and informative and we had a lot of fun and laughter. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicola and her lessons.

  • Nicola was calm, patient and confidence-inspiring. I've always felt like I don't know what I'm doing with makeup - this lesson made me realise that I do know what I'm doing in some respects, but I also learnt a huge amount, so overall the session was extremely useful for my confidence. I feel that my makeup understanding, application and general confidence improved as a direct result of this session.

  • "Nicola did my wedding makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids. Not only was Nicola extremely professional, but she was also calm and such a reassuring presence on the morning of my wedding. All of the makeup was simple STUNNING and lots of our wedding guests commented on how amazing the makeup was as we 'looked like ourselves but so polished" Nicola kept perfectly on time and kept everyone calm and also was so relaxed she felt like part of our team. Thank you again so much Nicola!!!!!"

  • "Nicola was truly amazing! I booked her for my wedding makeup. Not only is she fantastic and has an amazing talent for makeup but she is friendly, understanding and brings an essence of calm, especially for nervous brides. Nicola was so supportive and understanding in her emails. Also, she gave me confidence especially as I don't normally wear a lot of makeup and never made me feel embarrassed or stupid for my lack of makeup use or knowledge. But what I loved was she explained to me what she was doing and gave my bridesmaid and me tips for the future too. Her talent to deliver stunning makeup while making it natural was amazing. I would certainly recommend Nicola to any brides wanting a professional, compassionate makeup artist who genuinely cares."

    Nicole C - Marwell Hotel

  • "Nicola did my makeup for my wedding- I looked amazing. She also did the makeup for my bridal party and Mum. She listened to me, and what I wanted so my look worked with my dress and aesthetics. I loved it, and can't fault her. She was professional but also friendly. Would definitely recommend"
