About

Hi, I’m Nicole, a freelance make-up artist and licensed Esthetician specializing in timeless natural makeup. I'm available for on-site makeup services and will work with you to create a customized look for your wedding, event, photo shoot, headshot, or commercial production.

My love affair with makeup started around the age of seven, and my babysitter let me stay up late to watch the movie Grease. Something sparked inside me when I saw how Rizo transformed Sandy from a schoolgirl into a beautiful sexy woman with makeup. The next day I drew makeup palettes on the back page of my coloring book and pretended to put makeup on my little sister. That was the moment I became a makeup artist. I love using the artistry of makeup to help people enhance their natural beauty. I'm happiest when doing makeup, whether creating timeless bridal looks, pretty prom girls, Comic-Con and Halloween characters or face painting at birthday parties. It's the most rewarding way for me to express my creativity.

In 2009 I graduated from the Spa Tech Institutes Advanced Esthetics program and received my Cosmetologist license. I worked as a beauty adviser for Bobbi Brown and did freelance for Smashbox. I have attended workshops to learn new techniques and stay up to date on trends, most recently studying with the talented and knowledgeable makeup artist Debra Macki.

Let me help you create your vision of your best self. I will travel to your home, hotel, venue, or salon to provide exceptional makeup services for any event. I cover eastern Massachusetts, including Boston, Cape Cod and the Islands, and RI.

Great Natural Makeup Artist

Nicole did my makeup for my wedding on 11/14/2020. I do not like the feel of makeup on my face and don't usually wear anything more than mascara. I did not want to have heavy makeup on my face all day and look like a different person for my wedding. Nicole did a great job of making me look beautiful, but also natural and elegant on my wedding day. I was surprised to say that I didn't even notice the makeup on my face! I cried during our ceremony and nothing moved! I would highly recommend Nicole for your makeup, especially if you are like me and are not a big makeup user and prefer a natural look.

We had so much fun on the morning of my wedding working with Nicole and her daughter! Nicole was so professional, was able to work with the small amount of room we had in my suite and most importantly made everyone look amazing! As a bride - I couldn't have felt more beautiful. Nicole worked with all of us from myself and my maid of honor, to my mother and my grandmother. My feisty grandmother still talks about how fabulous she looked and she doesn't know how Nicole gave her eyebrows for the day. Nicole gave us all sorts of tips and tricks from products that work the best to different techniques to use for certain eyes and that was much appreciated! I can speak for all of us that no ones makeup budged that day - not even the slightest bit and it was a fairly hot day - in the 80's and humid (especially at 2pm in August.). It was probably close to midnight when I was sadly washing my makeup off and I could not get over how nothing had moved, caked, and still looked flawless. I wish I could add a photo to show how awesome her makeup skills are for other brides to see but I will say I would use Nicole again, for any special occasion in the future!

Nicole did a fantastic job on my wedding makeup! I was very happy with the way it turned out on my wedding day. We did a trial a month beforehand as well, were we tried different things and she gave me some tips to help my skin before the wedding. Nicole is very easy to talk to and work with!
