Simple and Elegant

Nichole was great, she kept in touch with me leading up to the wedding and showed up with plenty of time to get everything done and still be early. Even with the many interruptions, and coming and goings of the wedding party, father of the bride and guest. The groom was very adamant about me looking like my self for our wedding. I don't wear a lot of make up often and wear my hair pulled back. Nichole did an amazing job with my fine hair (no extensions per the grooms request ) and makeup. I felt like myself and comfortable all day. My hair and makeup didn't budge at all, even with all that dancing and sweating. Thanks Nichole

Bridesmaid Makeup

To be honest I’m always disappointed when other people do my makeup it’s never how I want it. Nichole on the other hand was amazing! I absolutely loved my makeup. It was exactly what I wanted! :) I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Flawless and Beautiful

Nichole was amazing! I told her to do what she felt would really make my eyes pop and boy did she do that. She made me look stunning it a palate I normally would be to nervous to try. She really knew what would make my eyes stand out and how to make my skin look flawless. She also educated me on good products and tips. She paid attention to little details making sure my makeup would last and be beautiful all night! She was professional and had great energy!

We've had the pleasure of working alongside Nichole on several occasions. Her professional, yet friendly, approach is just perfect to add to the calmness of the Day. We just completed a wedding together on the central coast - a bride and 5 bridesmaids - and all requested extra eyelashes! Not only did she complete the task on time, very important for us the photographers, but the bridal party looked flawless and photographed perfectly. Her ability and natural mineral make-up are two big assets in achieving beautiful results. Don't hesitate to contact Artista Makeup. Loyal & Joan - L&JNewville PhotographyDesign
