Jess & Danny

I had the pleasure of being Jess’ Bridal Makeup Artist for her beautiful spring wedding. Jess and Danny chose to tie the knot on their 7 year anniversary. It was a crazy warm day for the first day of Spring, but an absolute stunner! A beautiful lunchtime ceremony in front of their nearest and dearest.

Jess’ Review: “Loved having Nicky do my wedding makeup. I had no clue what I wanted but thanks to Nicky’s experience and skill, she knew what would suit me and my bridesmaids/mum best. Absolutely loved the results! Could not beat the service Nicky provides. I didn’t even recognise myself, she made me feel soo beautiful! THANKS NICKY!” – Jess

Jessica & Alex

I offer all of my brides the option to have a Bridal Trial. Bridal Trials are not a requirement by me, only if you feel like you would like one. If you choose to not have a trial, know that together we can take the time on your wedding day to create the perfect look for you.

Jessica put all her trust in me to create the perfect bridal look for her on her wedding day. I’m extremely grateful for my clients that trust me with such an important part of their big day.

Jessica’s Review: “Nicky did my bridal makeup for my wedding last month, I absolutely loved it! The makeup felt amazing on my skin and photographed so beautifully! Nicky was so accommodating and such a sweet lady, made me feel very welcome. I highly recommend” – Jess

Chrystal & Joel

Chrystal and Joel’s epic adventure! Some of you may recall my antics on Instagram on my first ever trip to The Gorge, the source of the Mighty Clarence. These two win the ‘Super Organisers Award’ for 2024. The Gorge is remote bushland, so every single possible item that you can think of that you would need for a wedding had to be transported in. Legendary! And a huge shout out to these awesome vendors for making it all happen!

Korrine & Brenton

I worked with an incredible group of vendors to bring together Korrine and Brenton’s dream wedding. Even a massive downpour during the outdoor ceremony couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces, what legends!

Korrine’s Review: “Nicky is an amazing make-up artist who I had the pleasure of making me look and feel beautiful for my wedding day. Nicky was so calm, punctual, replied to every one of my stressed messages about my skin leading up to the wedding day. Nicky made all my girls feel and look their best. I truly had the A Team with vendors. Plus all our make-up lasted the dreaded storm I made everyone stand in whilst we went through my outdoor ceremony all through to the night! I would recommend Nicky in a heartbeat. Thanks Nicky” – Korrine

School Formals

Thank you to all the beautiful formal girls that popped into the studio over the last week – McAuley Catholic School, St Andrews School, Orara High and South Grafton High School, what a beautiful group of girls! I love doing formal makeup, for a lot of the girls it’s the first time they have had their makeup professionally done and I love to watch their reaction when they see themselves all glammed up for the first time, it’s the best!

It was so lovely to listen to all their dreams and aspirations and I wish them all the very best!

Unpopular Opinion

I will not ask if I can “take a quick pic of your makeup” on your wedding day. I know pretty much every other MUA and hairdresser does it, it’s just not for me. And there are a couple of reasons why. Firstly, I’m there to do a job, not create content for my own brand. You know who is there to take photos? The photographer. This is why my feed is full of beautiful images from very talented photographers.

Secondly, it’s not a vibe, read the room. Wedding days are hectic, it’s often a case of doing the best possible makeup on a large number of clients, in the shortest possible time. Most wedding days I do not move from my makeup station. I don’t eat, drink or go to the toilet for several hours. I’m certainly not going to waste precious time fluffing around taking photos. I will not compromise time to create content.

And thirdly, if I’m being honest, it actually makes me cringe watching videos of Brides/Bridesmaids nervously staring off into the abyss looking like they are about to pack their dacks. They are the most nervous/excited/anxious/stressed they have ever been in their lives and you’ve just recorded it and showed it to the world. These are just regular people, not models, and posing like a model does not come naturally to most, it’s awkward and looks uncomfortable af, I can almost feel it through the videos #crrrrriiiiinnnnge

I once had a client tell me that a MUA took photos of the entire bridal party and shared them on her socials. The MUA shared everyone except for her. It made her feel like she was not pretty enough to be on someone’s socials. That just broke my heart.

So I will not ask you if I can take a quick pic of your makeup. That’s why I have content days.

Rhiannon & Michael

I love my job. I love weddings. I especially love being part of a wedding where you can just feel the love between two beautiful souls. It was a pleasure to be Rhiannon’s Bridal Makeup Artist. A beautiful bride, inside and out.

“Nicky did the most wonderful job, neither myself nor my bridesmaids wear makeup so we went with the more natural look, and she nailed it. She is so lovely, thoughtful, was on time and very patient too. I felt so beautiful once she was done, and if I could do it all again, I would hope she’d be a part of that special moment too” – Rhiannon

Kiera & Stuart

Kiera and Stuart chose to have their autumn wedding at the Clarence River Jockey Club. This is another great venue in the Clarence Valley and is quite popular as a reception venue, but as you can see from the photos it also has a beautiful lawn area that is the perfect location for your ceremony.

Kiera’s Review: “Nicky did my wedding makeup for myself and entire bridal party including the flowergirls. Everyone was incredibly happy with their makeup, could not fault it at all. Aside from being a very talented makeup artist, Nicky is also a lovely person with a calming energy which is helpful amongst all the wedding morning nerves and anticipation. I would highly recommend Nicky to anyone.” – Kiera
