About

NG Creative Artistry was founded with a mission to utilize all forms of creativity to serve and educate our clients as well as make them feel special and beautiful.

Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Nicole Giergiel's career in makeup began when she was recruited to work for MAC Cosmetics. In her six years as a MAC-certified Artist, Nicole mastered her craft on faces of all ages, races, and sexes. Almost immediately she began working as a freelance makeup artist for weddings and special occasions.

After leaving MAC, Nicole was hired as principle makeup, hair, and wardrobe stylist for SJP Studios, a top Chicago photographer who specializes in model and talent portfolios and head shots.

In July of 2011, Nicole was invited to work as a makeup artist for "GG" on the Ryan Seacrest produced Bravo reality series, "The Shahs of Sunset".

Nicole's career has taken her in many directions and all across the country, but she'll always have a special place in her heart for her hometown of Chicago.

"My roots are in Chicago, but I draw my inspiration from around the world. Whether it's working on a feature film, getting a bridal party dolled up, or redesigning a client's wardrobe, I seek out and thrive on opportunities to apply my passion for creativity, art, and helping people feel special. I love being a part of someone's 'moment'."

SCHEDULE HER FOR YOUR BIG DAY!! I scheduled a trial with her a few months before my wedding and told her exactly what I wanted. I wanted to look beautiful with a full face of makeup, yet still look "natural"...a challenging wish! Haha However, Nicole did just that! My entire bridal party felt the same way. Not to mention, she's so laid back and has such a charming personality, you're pampered inside and out while preparing for that walk down the aisle. I don't normally wear a full face of makeup and didn't want to feel "weighed down". The makeup stayed fresh all night and I felt and looked like myself, just more radiant! She was extremely professional and timely and did 10 bridesmaids/mother of the bride's makeup with extra time to spare! She even gives you your lipstick so that you can do touch-ups throughout the day. And last but not least - she was extremely affordable!! I can't even think of anything she could have done better for my special day. SO HAPPY with this decision! I recommend her all around!

Nicole is absolutely fabulous! She is not only a true pleasure to work with, but her talent is incredible. Nicole was the makeup artist for my November wedding, and truly made my bridal party and myself look and feel gorgeous on what was the most important day of my life. The makeup was done to perfection, and lasted the entire day and night... including hours upon hours of dancing! Nicole is organized and professional, yet has a way of making you feel relaxed and at ease while she performs her magic! She takes the time to understand the exact look you are going for, and implements flawlessly. Nicole is truly an artist!

Nicole is so wonderful! We used her for my wedding back in 2009 and have referred her to a number of family and friends who all say great things too! My latest interaction with Nicole was as maid of honor in my best friend's wedding late 2013. She was so sweet and of course makes everyone look awesome. She listens to her clients and executes flawlessly. I definitely felt like my best self that day thanks to her!

I love Nicole! She is a very talented and an extremely professional makeup artist. Nicole is also super flexible. She was able to take me for my trial appointment on short notice so that I could coordinate with my hair trial appointment with another vendor.
She uses the best MAC products and wrote out a plan so that on the big day, my makeup would be the customized look I had at the trial. On my wedding day, Nicole arrived at my apartment early and set up. She worked on 4 bridesmaids and my mom in addition to my make up! Thanks to Nicole, my wedding party looked absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend Nicole's services if you need makeup done for your wedding, engagement photos, or any other special event.

As a makeup artist myself, I wanted to get pampered on my wedding day. I hired Nicole for my big day! She did an amazing job! Her applictIon was perfect. Two of my friends who are getting married in the summer have booked Nicole as well. I will hire her for all my makeup needs in the future!

Nicole at NG Creative Artistry is not only professional and personable, but she is TALENTED! She made me feel secure and comfortable on the most important day of my life. Nicole didn't disguise me under a bunch of makeup that wasn't me. Instead, she enhanced all the features that only an artist like her can do. I felt like myself on my wedding day thanks to her and I am so grateful for that! Not only was my makeup flawless in person, but it translated well on camera, too! She offers a trial session prior to the wedding and before that we were able to discuss my likes and dislikes. It's one thing to have a vendor that listens to your wants and needs, but another to actually follow through with it and be able to produce the results you desire. Nicole is definitely in the latter group! She's great and you won't regret booking her for your big day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
