Sarah

Nicole did my makeup for my engagement party and I couldn’t have been happier with it. She was so accommodating and really listened to what I wanted, making sure everything felt natural and exactly how I had imagined. The makeup lasted all night and I got so many compliments from everyone💖

Sinead

Couldn't recommend Nicole enough. She did my make up for my engagement shoot and it was stunning. I got so many compliments. It was natural but looked amazing 😊

Taryn

Nicole is a fantastic Mua. She listened to exactly what I wanted. The quality of the products used was excellent and the make up lasted all day. The complimentary touch up kit was a lovely touch to a top class service

Leah

Nicole has done my makeup twice now and I have loved the results every time. Nicole thoroughly preps the skin and ensure she understands the look you are going for before she begins. Last time I used Nicole’s mobile makeup service, this was extremely helpful being a new mom as Nicole could do all our makeup and we did not have to worry about childcare. Makeup lasted all day and touch up kit was very handy to have the same colour lipstick and powder puff to touch up when needed. All in all I would recommend Nicole 10/10

Kate

I had such a fantastic experience with Nicole yesterday. She did both my makeup and my mum’s in her salon, and we honestly couldn’t have been happier with the results. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome and comfortable, which really helped us relax and enjoy the whole experience.She took the time to listen to what we wanted and perfectly tailored each look to suit us individually. My makeup felt flawless and lasted all day, and my mum was absolutely delighted with how natural and radiant she looked. The attention to detail and skill she showed was truly impressive.Thanks so much Nicole, we will definitely be back❤️

Karolina

I booked a makeup lesson with Nicole to get some tips and tricks for doing my makeup and she was a pleasure to deal with! She was so nice and friendly and explained everything thoroughly throughout the lesson and gave me lots of useful tips on makeup products and application. She answered any questions I had and provided me with a list of products we used, which was very helpful. It was very relaxed and the time flew, a lovely way to spend the morning!

Soft Glam

Soft glam is the ultimate
“ I just got my makeup done” vibes
It’s lightweight, non cakey, long lasting and gives you the perfect sculpt & glow while making your eyes pop

Full Glam

Full glam is full coverage, sculpted contour & blush while still making your eyes the centre of attention

Natural Makeup

Natural glam enhances and elevates your natural features. Ultra lightweight, super hydrating & long lasting - leaving you with the perfect glow all night long

Radiance in every era

My goal for every client is to ensure your makeup makes you feel confident, comfortable and an elevated version of you. I provide a thorough consultation for every client to ensure I understand your makeup goals.
Whether you would like full glam, natural makeup or somewhere in between - my skin focused makeup is tailored to you
