Testimonials: Testimonial

"Nicola came highly recommended by two friends and I was delighted that she was available the day of my wedding. She came to my house for a trial and again the day of the wedding. She was so professional and had a calming effect on us all. It was great having her there and she really helped settle my nerves! I don't wear much make up and Nicola knew exactly what I was looking for. My two bridesmaids were thrilled with their makeup too and they looked fabulous. My makeup remained flawless for the whole day and everyone was complimenting it. Thanks Nicola for all your help that day, you were fantastic."

"Nicola was absolutely fantastic to deal with. She did a perfect job on my make up, it lasted all night and looked great in photos! She was great fun to have in the house the morning of the wedding and was great with advice for the day! Would have no hesitation to recommend her to any brides."

-Review by Leona

"As someone who doesn't wear makeup daily, picking a makeup artist felt like a scary task - Thankfully Nicola was my heroine! From our very first meeting she listened to what I wanted, and guided me as to what I might need (how heavy to go for photos, how to help it last the day, what skin care I should consider leading up to the day). I had the most beautiful, natural makeup and everyone said it was just stunning. All of my bridesmaids were slightly different in colouring and skintype, but she made everyone look the very best versions of themselves (Including a makeup-phobic Mother of the Bride, who thought it was just lovely and felt great). She also helped me to plan the timing of the morning (ready 20 minutes early!), and reminded us all to eat a few sandwiches to keep us going. She was fantastic to have in the room on the morning."

"Having a really good make up artist for my wedding was really important to me. Firstly, I suffer from acne and, though thankfully my skin improved greatly before the wedding, I wanted an MUA who understood this. There were also 7 of us to be looked after on the day so I knew that this would require someone with loads of experience who worked well under pressure. I was so happy that I was lucky enough to book Nicola! I was very nervous arriving at my trial in May. I had already had a couple of trials with different MUAs and just wasn't happy. Nicola immediately put me at ease. She is so professional and her experience shines through. As well as this she is a really friendly, bubbly and patient person. I left my trial feeling so excited for the big day. From the moment Nicola arrived at the venue on the morning of the wedding we never stopped chatting and laughing. She breezed through the seven of us without a hint of hurry or pressure. We were all so thrilled with our make up as it is a very individual thing and Nicola manged to listen to us all and create a look just right for each of us. I got so many compliments throughout the day about my make up and my best friend commented that Nicola was the first MUA that ever got the look she wanted spot on! Looking back on photographs and the wedding video I am so thrilled with the look Nicola created for me. I was perfectly my style and worked so well with my hair and dress. I would recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a super talented, professional, friendly and relaxed MUA. Don't even hesitate!"

"Nicola, thank you so much for being part of my Wedding Day on 24th October. I was so pleased with my natural bridal look and got so many compliments on the day that I felt like a star. The morning of the Wedding was so much fun and you were not only a professional Make Up Artist but managed to keep us all on track from remembering to pack our suitcases to making sure we ate a good Irish breakfast to keep us going. I'm delighted I found you. Caroline xx"

-Review by Caroline

"I researched a huge amount of make-up artists for my wedding which was small and personal but I wanted it to be perfect. From the day I met Nicola for a consultation, she was down to earth and approachable, listened to what i wanted which is so important & put her own touch on things. She had both my sister & I in stitches and I knew I had made the right decision in booking her for my wedding. On the day itself, she was calm and relaxed and set the tone for the day. Everyone commented on their make-up and were all thrilled with the results - which lasted the entire day. My sister was so impressed, she also booked Nicola for her own wedding later this year. I would without question recommend Nicola to friends and family and am looking forward to having my make-up done again by her in a few short months."

-Review by Olivia

"Nicola was an absolutely wonderful makeup artist. From my first consultation I knew I was in safe hands, she came highly recommended by a friend and my sister in law who had both looked stunning on their wedding days. Nicola looked at a picture of my dress and straight away came up with a beautiful, soft makeup look for the wedding day. I was so delighted with my trial and on the big day she really outdid herself! I had 8 people in total for makeup and Nicola managed to give all 8 of us plenty of time, taking into account everyone's personal style and preferences. She was absolutely lovely on the day and had a really calm but organised presence. We all looked fab, I can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you Nicola!"

"Nicola was set up with the Ironing Board and away she went. She had us Beautiful even before the photographer and video man arrived!!! She had a busy morning with me, my bridesmaids and a sister. Two of my sisters never wore make up before in their lives and by god Nicola was firm but fair and was very helpful! She came highly recommended by my sister in law, and lived up to all expectations. Nicola is a pleasure to deal with, easy to talk too, easy to make contact with and is extremely professional. She is very knowledgeable on all things make up and beauty related, we even got some tips! It was a pleasure having you around on the morning of my day Nicola, you had us all calm, you helped with the dressing, the make up and almost more importantly the craic ? Never left our side until we left for the ceremony. Would Love to do it all again!"

-Review by Brenda Daly

"I'd really like to thank Nicola for helping myself and my ladies look like movie stars for the Big Day. I'm not used to having my make up done and from the moment I met Nicola at my make up trial, I knew that she would help us achieve my vision. Nicola was so relaxed and easy going and was very responsive to my messages. I'd have no hesitation in recommending her or using her again!"

" My best friend recently got married and Nicola did our make-up. She came to the house on the mornng of the wedding, and waved her magical brushes. I don't wear a lot of make-up and Nicola knew exactly what I liked and wanted, and gave me great skin advice. Nicola is very professional and does her job above and beyond. Thanks Nicola for turning Cinderella into a Princess."

-Review by Louise

" Nicola was fantastic! I'm not used to wearing alot of make up so she did a really natural look that made me look incredible. I've also got some pigmentation issues which she was able to completely cover up. My skin was flawless and stayed that way until the next day! I would highly recommend her!"

-Review by Bernie

"Well, what can I say? Nicola was just fantastic. Nicola came to my house on the morning of my wedding and did makeup for me, my mam and sister. She completely listened to what we wanted and made us all look beautiful, everyone commented! She was very relaxed, friendly and professional. She went above and beyond her call of duty, even calling to my friend's house on an 'emergency' errand! It was great to have Nicola with us on the morning, I can't recommend her highly enough, thanks Nicola."

Even though I know nicola for many years she was nothing but professional from the trials right up to the big day. She was so calm and really put everyone at ease with her charming personality. She was an absolute pleasure to work with."

"We recently got married here in Co. Kildare and from the week we began planning our day I wanted the best. Nicola from the moment I spoke with you at booking almost 2 years prior to our wedding date I knew I had the right person for our bridal make up. You made each of us feel stunning and that’s a very hard thing to do when you dealing with ladies who work in the industry, but you did so well they each loved their make up

and it goes without saying that i loved mine. I'm sure we will meet again, I will always reccomend you highly. Best of luck for the future xx."
