    Beautiful Glam!

    We always loved having Nikki visit Fathom Gallery to work on bridal glam when she was located here in DC! She’s such a pleasure to work with and does the most amazing makeup - she even did our team’s makeup for headshots and it was such a treat! She’s truly an artist and we definitely recommend working with her.

    Nikki is the best!

    Nikki is a true professional--she's warm, caring and talented. She totally understood my aesthetic and emphasized glowy skin and Hollywood glam. My wedding photos show her master in creating different textures for my eye shadow, it is unbelievable! And the best part of Nikki is that you know she loves what she does, and it's awesome to have had spent time with her on our wedding day. HIGHLY highly recommend.

    A quote from my friend inquiring who did my makeup sums it up "You looked stunning, and most importantly - like yourself." I hesitated to book a consult with Nikki (despite my planner knowing I'd end up there) due to the price point. That said, she was worth every penny! Nikki is such a great presence in the room day of - even when it comes to distracting the crazy mother - and her work is head and shoulders above all others. She was my savior following two disastrous trials, and even referred me to the perfect stylist when I was struggling to find someone who could do a good blow out. THE BEST! Our entire wedding party looked beautiful, but not overdone. If only I could keep her around for an every day glam squad.

    Nikki is incredible! I've never looked better thanks to her artistry. Best of all, she's a wonderful, warm and gracious person. Exactly the kind of energy and spirit you want shining through on your wedding day morning. My bridesmaids were also very impressed. She's brilliant and a beautiful person.

    Nikki is the absolute best!! Her and her team are so fun to work with and they did such a great job for me and my bridesmaids. Everyone's make up was flawless and all the girls were so happy with their work. Nikki has such great energy that's contagious and it was so great to have her around on my wedding day.

    I don't know where to begin-- Nikki is perfection. She's kind, funny, down to earth and let's not forget that she's amazing at what she does. She was such a welcomed presence during the big day and made everyone look absolutely stunning. I especially love what she does with eyes. If you are looking for a make-up artist, look no further, Nikki is your girl!

    If you are looking for a wedding makeup artist, stop looking and call Nikki. If you are lucky enough that she's available for your wedding day, your search is over. She is amazing. She was such an integral part of my wedding day. First, at her suggestion, we had a really fun makeup trial at a girlfriend's house a couple months before the wedding, which was a great chance for us to get to know each other and figure out what look I wanted for the wedding. Then, on the wedding day, it felt like Nikki was one of the girls getting ready in the bridal suite- she was so much fun to hang out with, easygoing, warm, and sweet sweet person with a good sense of humor. She made all the bridesmaids and me look and FEEL beautiful. Her description of her business is totally accurate- she makes you radiate beauty because she makes you feel so beautiful and confident on your wedding day. I got tons of compliments on my makeup and I really did feel like my most beautiful version of myself. Which was key. I still felt like myself. I didn't feel like I had tons of makeup caked on. My makeup required very little touching up (basically none) over the course of a long night of fun and dancing. I feel so lucky to have found Nikki. I adore her and her work.

    Nikki is absolutely amazing! She did my bridal make up and the make up for my 4 bridesmaids, both mothers and my aunt. Everyone looked stunning, and I could not have been happier or more impressed. Not only is her work amazing, but she herself is wonderful. Her energy is so positive and she is great to have around on your wedding day.

    Even my sister, who was very skeptical of getting her make up done because she says no one ever does it as well as she can, was impressed and asked Nikki if she was available for her May 2014 wedding!

    My make up also lasted through the tears streaming down my face after my first look.

    I highly recommend Nikki.

    Nikki is a magician with the brush! She did a fantastic job on my make-up (and my wedding party’s)! She was also extremely flexible with her schedule and an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when I have an occasion that calls for it.

    If you want to look gorgeous for your wedding day, then you want Beauty 'N The Bride. I called Nikki and was able to book her to do my make-up, my bridal party, and my mother. Everyone looked GORGEOUS!!!! She used colors to complement skin tone and dress. I felt that she spent quality time with each person (about 40 minutes) and an hour with me (the bride). I could not believe how FANTASTIC I looked. During make-up she was friendly and my bridesmaids felt like they had a new girlfriend. I have been in other wedding where you have to bring your own foundation. Nikki has EVERYTHING! All we needed was a clean, moisturized face (she would have moisturized if we didn't have our own). As a member of the wedding business, Nikki was also able to suggest other vendors (including my DJ Percy Norman, who I LOVED). Nikki was recently written as a vendor to watch for in the Washingtonian Bride & Groom. Don't sit back and watch for too long because she will be booked!!!! I HIGHLY recommend her.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Nikki! Not only did she provide me and my ladies with the most beautiful make up, she made us all laugh too! She is a pleasure to work with because she is so personable and fun! She knew I was picky when it came to getting my make up done and listened to everything I had to say! She nailed it! I was so pleased with the way I looked, she truly made me feel beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you Nikki!

    Nikki is incredible! From my trial to the day of our wedding, she was nothing but fantastic. We were able to do the trial the day of our engagement party and I have to say, I would have talked to more guests if I didn't want to keep running to the bathroom to look at how ridiculously glam I looked all night:) I had a HUGE wedding party and Nikki and her fantastic partner in beauty, Erika, made all of 10 of my bridesmaids look like super models, completed my perfect face and then were willing to add three aunts, a grandmother and three family friends onto the schedule. AMAZING. I've used Nikki again and she's been so great to get us on her schedule. I'll never have my make up done by anyone else. She's professional, reasonably priced and so much FUN to work with.

    Nikki was the first phone call I made after I got engaged. I have been a bridesmaid 14 times and I know what an amazing make-up artist can do. Nikki is incredibly talented, not to mention that she is professional, calming, sweet, and just a lot of fun to have with you on your wedding day. She really listened to what I was looking for in my make-up and helped me and my family feel our most beautiful on my wedding day. I can't recommend her enough.

    Love Nikki. Makeup was flawless and stayed beautiful all day/night. My bridesmaids' makeup matched their skin perfectly and they were all very different skin tones. Nikki is very comforting and I felt like she was part of the wedding party. Fabulous job! Love!

    Having Nikki glam me up for my wedding was a dream come true! The work she does is simply flawless. I don’t wear much makeup, and she was able to do something simple but elegant. Everyone commented on how amazing the makeup looked. Even after an evening of dancing, and some crying, my makeup was still absolutely perfect! Working with her was honestly one of the highlights of the day.

    Nikki was recommended to me by my aesthetician. Nikki did my makeup as well as that of my mother and 3 bridesmaids for my wedding day.

    I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Nikki! She was able to match my super pale skin tone. She blends eyeshadow PERFECTLY. I didn't get oily or have to reapply lipstick at all that day. (I’m usually using blotting papers by noon.) Friends and family said I looked like Marilyn Monroe, Gwen Stefani, and Rita Hayworth, which was the exact look I was going for. Also, several people commented on how young my mother looked that day.

    I highly recommend Nikki to do your wedding day makeup! She is very reasonably priced for the quality work that she does.

    Nikki is the best!

    I have had my makeup done by her twice (once for my own wedding) and loved it both times. She is efficient and talented and connects with everyone around her! Her warm personality adds so much to the environment. My friends and family were wowed by their makeup and loved chatting with her. I loved my aesthetic, thought I looked like myself, and my makeup lasted through the day and evening in the humidity. Cannot speak highly enough of Nikki!

    Nikki was prompt, professional and very friendly. The nerves were high at first but Nikki made me feel at ease. She gave me the exact look I was looking for ... I am not a big makeup person. I looked glamourous but still looked like myself. I received so many compliments ... I will definitely use her again for other upcoming major events! Strongly recommend!

    Great work, made every person look and feel amazing

    Nikki was amazing to work with! She is really good at what she does, and goes out of her way to understand each of her clients and what kind of look they will feel comfortable and happy in + they would look amazing in. I worked with Nikki for 2 evenings along with my sister and mother and all of us got compliments all night about how amazing we looked! She is also super fun to work with which is an added bonus.
