After hours of searching on the Internet, I knew I wanted to book Nour as my makeup artist for my wedding. She is an artist in the truest sense of the word. I was fortunate enough to be able to book her to take care of my matron-of-honor, mom & mother-of-the-groom, in addition to myself. Nour & I had a makeup trial approximately 6 weeks before my wedding and she spent a considerable amount of time getting to know me and creating the perfect look for my big day. On my wedding day, she arrived on time and totally prepared. Nour had us all looking beyond beautiful and our makeup lasted the entire day...even after dancing at the reception. She is very conscientious and truly cares that each client is happy and comfortable with their makeup before she considers her job done. Our photographer said that every time Nour does the makeup for his brides, he is able to spend less time retouching photos, which was an unexpected bonus. For those who think her rates are high, please understand Nour's talent is worth every penny.

During my wedding planning process, I searched long and hard for a good makeup artist. Both my videographer and wedding planner recommended Nour to me and I noticed how many glowing reviews she received. I emailed her that day and was extremely impressed with her portfolio.

For special occasions (birthdays, weddings, NYE parties, etc), I usually get my makeup done at a MAC store, but I always come home feeling unsatisfied and I end up fixing one or two things. This was not the case with Nour. After my wedding trial, I booked her immediately and I had total confidence she would nail it on my big day. Nour definitely understand how important it is to look your most beautiful on your wedding day – I even signed up my mom and my maid of honors so they could look amazing!

On the actual day, Nour arrived early and was ready to rock n’ roll. She was extremely professional, attentive, efficient, and so easy to talk to you. Everyone (especially my husband) and their mothers were stunned to see the final result of my look. She is extraordinarily talented in making you look your best by enhancing your features. Nour knows which colors to use on each individual to give them their perfect look.

Another great plus about her is that she had a great connection with all our vendors (photographer and videographer) – so she knew what they needed from her to capture the shots they were looking for. I seriously looked the best I have ever looked, which gave me confidence to have an amazing day. I received so many wonderful compliments both during and after the wedding. It has been 3 weeks and I am still getting asked “who did your makeup?” from recent and future brides. Best day of my life!

I recommend Nour to all you future brides! She is amazing and worth every penny! If you want to look your best on one of the most important days of your life, pick Nour! Thank you so much Nour Kazoun!!!!!!

Noor did an AWESOME job with my make-up for my South Asian wedding reception. Pakistani wedding make-up is very dramatic. I searched for a make-up artist for a good 2 months before I ran into her website! Her make-up style was exactly what I wanted; dramatic, but clean. I told her what I wanted and she delivered! My eye make-up was amazing. I got compliments all night! My bridesmaids got their make-up done as well and they were very pleased. They are still talking about how amazing their make-up looked!

I had a trial run before my wedding and it definitely helped me figure out what kind of look I was going for. Noor is very kind, patient, and professional. If you're looking for drama, I highly recommend Noor.

I cannot say enough good things about Nour. She is amazing and truly an artist! She is extremely sweet and made me feel so comfortable. She captured my vision in terms of how I wanted to look on my wedding day. She is very attentive and really loves what she does – it shows in her work and her demeanor.

I highly recommend a trial before your big day. Nour made me feel so comfortable and went through several different looks with me. I felt so confident in her skills!

Nour did the make-up for me, all of my bridal party, my mother and my mother-in-law. She showed up on time and kept us all on schedule. Our make-up lasted the entire day and she did an absolutely stunning job on each of us! I couldn’t have been happier with Nour. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for the most talented make-up artist for their special day!

Nour Kazoun was just AMAZING! I was very concerned about finding the best makeup artist I could because I wanted to look my best on my wedding day. I found no luck after interviewing several well-known makeup artists in our area. By faith, I found Nour by flipping through Washingtonian Bride and Groom magazine. I quickly called and arranged a trial run. A minute I met Nour, I knew she was the one for me. I didn’t have to discuss much about my looks for the ceremony and the reception.

Then the wedding day came and I don't know how she did it, but my makeup looked better than the trial run! Never in my life have I felt as beautiful and glamorous as I did on my wedding day which is exactly how every bride SHOULD feel! Nour applied make up for all my bridesmaids and they were also gorgeous! Our makeup lasted all day and night. She made us all look so stunning and I was so happy!

Nour went above and beyond my expectations! Thanks so much for such a great experience. Friends and family have commented on what a fabulous I looked and I have to say, we couldn't agree more! I would highly recommend Made Up Art for any bride and I will always return to Nour to do my makeup for any future events.

Thank You so much Nour for being part of my important day!

I set up make-up trials with 5 of the most popular and highly rated makeup artist in DC, including Nour. I truly loved Nour's services for several reasons: 1) she has many years of experience in this industry, so she understand what photographs well and she understands what the camera likes; 2) she truly embraces the notion of full coverage makeup that will make you look natural nevertheless; 3) she is professional and responsive. I would highly recommend her services to all brides, especially Persian and Indian brides.

Nour was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I first found Nour from this site and fell in love with her looks. I was surprised by how quickly she responded to my emails and was blown away by how nice the responses were. At the make-up trial, from the moment I saw myself in the mirror, I knew I had to have Nour apply my make-up. Nour is a true artist and on my wedding day I was even more pleased with the results than I was at my trial. More importantly she adjusted my look last minute to incorporate some Indian inspired make-up touches for my mom. She made both me and my mom feel extremely comfortable and relaxed even though we were running late (my fault). She also changed my look for the reception and completed make-up for seven other members of my family. All of the looks were amazing and unique. Months after the wedding, my sisters still comment on their make-up from the wedding. I know that in the future I will return to Nour to have my make-up done professionally and I would also highly recommend her for any bride (including ethnic brides).

Nour was so great to work with, she was prepared, on-time and a fabulous artist!

She is an amazing makeup artisit that will make you look like a princess on your wedding day!

Nour was extremely easy to work with- from setting up the original consultation to the final product on my wedding day. I loved my makeup! Nour was able to make me look special, yet not overdone, as I don't normally wear a lot of makeup. It was fantastic! My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law were also all very pleased with their makeup. I highly recommend Nour!

Nour is an amazing artist!

She will bring out the best features of you and make you look so stunning. Anyone, who sees you that day, will be talking about how pretty your makeup is. She is very professional. She will be there on time and finishes on time. She loves what she does so much that will make you so calm and relaxed knowing you are in great hands. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup and told me that they will definitely use her again for any of their occasions. Bottom line Nour does an amazing work and you should have no doubt you will look your prettiest that day!

Simply put, Nour is an amazing makeup artist. There is no one else who can make me look like my absolute best self. When I got engaged I knew that she would be the one to do my makeup, in fact I booked her the day after I got engaged. I have had great experiences with her over the past five years (bridesmaid 5x over) and every year her technique improves in ways unimaginable-she understands skin, texture, bone structure and above all-color. She is well worth the money!

Please book her before she becomes famous:)

Nour is an amazingly gifted make up artist. She knew exactly what to do with my make up and my bridesmaids' make up. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful our make up looked and it stayed on flawlessly the entire night through the rain and the dancing!

I would highly highly recommend Nour for any event. I can't wait for my sister to get married so we can work with Nour again!

Nour is both gifted and professional while using her make up skills. Her constant encouragement on how I looked, helped build my confidence in myself on my wedding day! :-)

Nour is so talented, she was the easiest vendor decision I made. She made me feel so beautiful, comfortable and glamorous. She gave me the exact look I wanted while also going above and beyond. She is so fun to have around on the wedding day and makes you feel very special. She also did my makeup for the rehearsal dinner and it was out of this world.

If you want perfect makeup for your wedding, hire Nour!!!

The makeup that Nour applied during the trial was GREAT. I kept staring at the mirror and I couldn't imagine it would be better on my wedding day. On my big day, Nour was at my house on time. My mother in law was there and she kept saying (OH MY GOD!! IT IS AMAZING!!) while Nour was applying the makeup. When I looked at the mirror, I couldn't believe this was me!!! I was soooooo amazed by what she did that I started to cry of happiness. I looked like a queen even though I was still wearing my shirt and jeans!!!!. When I walked down the stairs, my husband didn't stop staring at my face whispering (you look gorgeous!!). EVERYONE attended the wedding said to me (you look like a QUEEN!!),(you look like you just jumped out of a bridal magazine). I think the makeup is the most important thing in such an important day. Also, Nour is very warm, understanding, talented and very artistic that she even fixed my hair and put my vail. I felt so comfortable when she was applying the makeup on my wedding day.
