Niki is the best!

Niki is incredibly talented, but more then that, she is the kindest human ever. She truly knows how to make her clients feel loved and cared for. Her warmth never goes unoticed as everytime she holds up the mirror after finishing my makeup, I truly feel amazing about myself. Niki’s ability to compliment her clients facial structure is exceptional and she never fails to create the exact look I am hoping for, even if the reference photo is a random photo found on the internet. There are no other words to describe Niki’s services than extraordinary.

Niki is an absolute dream!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Niki! After working with Niki for my sister's wedding in 2022, I couldn’t wait to book Niki for my wedding day! She is incredibly talented, professional, so kind and easy to work with. She offers such a calming presence not only on my wedding day, but also leading up to it, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience. She's a vendor you can trust and feel confident about from the moment you book her!

If you're looking for a makeup artist who will make you feel like the best version of yourself, but still look like yourself I highly recommend Niki! She listens attentively to your vision, never imposing her style or trending styles. I truly wish I lived in the area and could hire Niki for other events!

Niki is not just a makeup artist; she is a beauty educator. I used to find makeup intimidating, but Niki simplified everything. She guided me through each and every step, explaining products, their purpose, and application techniques, giving me the confidence to add these things to my own makeup routine.

Niki is absolutely incredible!

If you are looking for a makeup artist, look no further. I was looking for someone to do my bridal makeup and I was a little nervous because I've had a bad experience with professional makeup where the artist didn't take into account any of my features and just put a ton of makeup on me. As a result, I just didn't look or feel like me at all.
Niki was totally different. From the first time I spoke to her on the phone, I knew she was going to be great. She listened to my concerns and really heard and shared the vision I had. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup and I didn't want to be unrecognizably glamazoned, but I still wanted to be glammed up and look beautiful on my wedding day. And she nailed it. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself.
She uses quality products. My makeup looked gorgeous the entire day and my skin (which can be sensitive) was healthy and happy. Niki is patient, easy to talk to, and has this great energy. You can really tell she loves what she does, which makes the experience fun.
I really enjoyed working with her, and I hope I have another reason to get my makeup done in the future so I can work with her again.

Stop looking for a makeup artist- you found her!

What a FIND Niki is!!! Niki did the makeup for my daughter's wedding. Niki takes your natural look and enhances it. You still look like you - but WAY better!! The everyday makeup usage of the girls in our wedding party ran the gamut of never wears makeup to shovels on makeup! Niki consulted with each client in our wedding to insure the finished look would meet the customer's needs. As the mother of the bride, I LOVE MAKEUP. Throughout my lifetime I have spent lots of $$ experimenting with different looks /brands/ect. After consulting with Niki, I looked like me - only WAY WAY BETTER. Natural looking! I got so many compliments from our guests ! Niki made us ALL feel like fairy princesses on that special day!

Fabulous Exerience

Niki did my daughter's wedding in 2018, and we were so pleased with her expertise that I hired her for my own wedding in 2020. Not only is she a fantastic makeup artist, but she is warm, thoughtful, considerate and kind -- just the person you need to keep you calm and make you beautiful on your wedding day!

My husband, Alex, and I were married on May 25th, 2018 at Appleford Estate in Villanova. We were staying at the Radnor Hotel so we did a trial at their salon with their makeup artist. We were treated rudely, given little to no input and she rushed through us in 20 minutes, followed by an insanely expensive bill that made no sense according to her pricing. At the end my mother, sister and I were upset. We decided to do our own makeup because we had a sour taste in our mouth. But I looked into other makeup artists just to see what our options were and then I FOUND NIKI! Seeing her reviews, website and the fact that she had a CLEAR PRICE LIST right up front was enough to convince me to contact her. She was incredibly nice and comforting from the very beginning and made it easy for me to make a trial with her for the 3 of us at my moms house where everyone was comfortable. She really took her time both talking to us and doing the makeup. We had an awesome day with her and we were so happy with her talents and her ability to make us feel at ease AND beautiful.
Niki was always honest with us about price and made sure we had everything set up for the wedding day so that it would go smoothly. We had a tight timeline for the morning, and we had 5 ladies total to be made up so Niki suggested we bring in a friend and artist of hers, Angela, to help out. Angela was also SUPER nice and talented and it worked out perfectly so that no one was rushed and we were all done on time.
Having Niki there to do our makeup was amazing, worry free and the end result was perfection. Even my Aunt Donna who was reluctant to get done up, felt relaxed and loved her makeup. I would recommend Niki Brennan to everyone! It's impossible not to love her, and she is phenomenal at what she does. I really feel like she was a blessing to us and we will all go back to her for any makeup needs in the future! Thanks Niki!!!

I was on the fence about getting my makeup professionally done, but when I saw before and after pictures from B3 Beauty by Brennan, I knew that Niki was the perfect make-up artist for my wedding. Niki is able to enhance a person’s natural beauty, without making them look over-done. She and her assistant (Angie) made me and my bridesmaids look and feel gorgeous. They arrived early on the day-of, and leading up to our wedding, Niki was fast to respond to emails and was flexible for changes in service. My make-up turned out better than I could have imagined and lasted throughout the whole night – despite heat and humidity. Niki also happens to be an incredibly wonderful human being, who makes getting your make-up fun, and I cannot recommend her and her Company highly enough!

Deciding to use Niki for makeup was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She came to my home for a make up trial and I knew right away I would book her services because she did an amazing job without making me look like I had much makeup on at all. She truly has a gift being an incredible makeup artist. She traveled to our hotel room on our wedding day and did makeup for myself and the ladies. She also stayed with us throughout the day for touch ups after many happy tears. Niki was an absolute pleasure to work with and made our day and the "getting ready" process special. In addition to making us look our best, she is a doll and I'm so grateful I used her services!

I could not have been more thankful to have Niki as our make-up artist for the day of our wedding! She made everyone feel comfortable and absolutely beautiful. She has such a passion for what she does and it truly shows. She is so fun and genuine, I couldn't have imagined my big day without her! I honestly have never felt more beautiful than the day of my wedding, isn't that exactly how every bride should feel??? Thank you Niki, I can't wait to work with you again :)

Niki made me feel deeply beautiful on my wedding day this spring. Her spirit, love, and tender and attentive touch made me feel like the only (and most beautiful) bride in the world.

I was referred by my matron-of-honor, who was married last summer. She looked like an angel on her wedding day; an angel dropped straight out of heaven, radiant from the inside out. When I had my trial with Niki, I told her that I wanted to look just like my MOH did.

Niki didn't do that. She didn't listen. She made me look like ME. A more beautiful version of MY OWN SELF. And I saw myself as beautiful.

Her soul is a gift and I am grateful to call her my makeup artist and friend.
