Kayla

I tested the @smashboxcosmetics Always On Cream to Matte Lipstick in the shade Caliente on the gorgeous Kayla. This lipstick goes on like a dream, it has the most beautiful texture and dries matte. Results = Perfection.

Weddings

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend! I officially wrapped up Autumn Wedding Season on Sunday with a beautiful wedding in Grafton. I would like to say a huge thank you to all of my beautiful Brides – Jamie-Lee, Abbie, Georgie, Mindy, Josie, Laura, Hayley, Ella, Donna, Mandy, Kelly and Chelsea, for choosing me to be your Bridal Makeup Artist this Autumn. As always it is such an honour for me to be your Makeup Artist on your special day, I am so grateful!

I’ve got another huge Spring Wedding season ahead, with 17 beautiful Brides currently booked in with their favourite makeup artist. My weekends are now fully booked through until mid November, I have plenty of weekday availability, if you are planning a weekday wedding please get in touch.

I’m now taking bookings for 2026 and I would love to be your Makeup Artist

Emmy & Zach

Some of you may recognise this gorgeous girl from various photoshoots throughout my social media. Em has modelled for me on numerous occasions and it was such an honour for me to be asked to be her Bridal Makeup Artist. I’m always so grateful to these beautiful girls for giving up their time, and their face, for me to practice, learn and create content for you wonderful humans. Most of the time these girls have never modelled before and they are thrown in front of a camera and asked to portray a concept or convey a message and it’s not an easy thing to do. I appreciate each and every one of my models immensely.

Thanks for having me Em! Such a beautiful bride, inside and out.

Ellie & Adam

This was such a great wedding to be a part of! Ellie and Adam chose to have an intimate ceremony with just a handful of their nearest and dearest at a stunning BnB nestled in the Coffs hills. They then surprised all their family and friends by arriving at their ‘engagement party’ at a nearby restaurant, already married! Legends!

Ellie’s kind words: “The absolute best!! Thank you for making the day so cruisey and just perfect – we all felt a million bucks”.

Edwina & Jamie

26th October 2024, officially awarded the most requested date for 2024. I had nine beautiful brides reach out to me for this date, but luckily for Edwina she got in touch twelve months in advance to secure the date. It was a beautiful spring morning down in Yamba where the girls chose to get ready at The Cove Apartments before heading out to At Lewis Lane for the ceremony and reception.

Edwina’s Review: “Nicky was highly recommended to me and she exceeded expectations. Leaving us all feeling amazing and beautiful! Nothing was ever a problem, super easy going and very calming presence to have around, even when I started getting bridal nervous Nicky just calmed me down.”

Don’t Shoot the Messenger

Here are five things your makeup artist wants you to know: #dontshootthemessenger

1. Communication is key, tell us what you do and don’t like. I promise I won’t think you’re needy. Also #trusttheprocess
2. There’s no such thing as a creaseless concealer. #theend
3. Your makeup is as good as your skin. Sorry, but I can’t give you glowy dewy if your skin is as dry as a chip with more flakes than a Cadbury share pack. #skinpreppeople.
4. Have realistic expectations. Makeup enhances, not changes. #sheaintnosurgeon
5. Don’t cross your legs. I literally need to be in your face. Crossed legs take up more space than you think they do.

Georgia & Jesse

I mean you could arrive at your wedding in a car….. Or, you could go full legendary status and arrive on this beauty!

Georgia’s review: “Nicky did the most amazing makeup on myself & my 3 bridesmaids and my mum for my wedding day. All of the girls picked their own look and I asked for the bridal look, she delivered just perfect on all of us. I highly recommend Nicky!”
