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!

Best makeup artist!

Nichole was the best makeup artist and was able to make me feel special on my wedding day. She works with you to figure out your comfort level to make sure you look great on your special day. She also worked with my bridesmaids to make them look gorgeous as well!

Best Day Ever!

Nichole and her assistant were absolutely amazing! They were on time, efficient, and so accommodating. I did a trial with Nichole and went very natural. I decided to do something a little more intense for the actual wedding day and Nichole was able to do exactly what I wanted! Everyone looked absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else! Thanks Artista!

Amazing Wedding Makeup & Hair!

Nicole was amazing. From even before my consultation, she was so open and inquisitive and supportive. She asked for pictures to get a feel of what I wanted, and during both my trial and wedding day made sure every step of the way I was happy. Nicole is fun, keeps things light on a potentially stressful day, and made me feel like the most beautiful bride. 100% recommend her for any event you need!

LOVED Artista Makeup

It’s always hard to pick a makeup artist or hair stylist when you’re not from the area. I feel like I got so lucky finding Nichole! She was SUCH a pleasure to work with, she’s so sweet and professional!! I am very picky with my makeup and she worked with me through the process and I LOVED my wedding day makeup. I had a large bridal party and she did such a fantastic job at working with everyone on styles that worked for them. Everyone was super happy with their makeup that day, which helped the day go SO smooth. One less thing to stress about. I love that she offers hair services too, it really helps pull the whole package together. Thanks Nichole!!

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
