Yes, please!!
Nicole was amazing, personable, reliable, dedicated, and so talented! She breezed through countless girls in such a tight time frame, while each girl ended up looking like a million bucks by the time they were out of Nicole’s chair. She did an absolutely amazing job catering to each girl’s makeup needs and requests to make them feel like their individualized and elevated selves! I would 10/10 recommend Nicole to anyone and wish I could get married all over again just to feel that pretty again!! Thank you, Nicole!! -

I cannot recommend Nicole enough! She is incredibly talented, professional, and so easy to work with. Nicole handled the makeup for myself, my mother, and my bridesmaids on my wedding day, and she absolutely nailed it. My bridal makeup was exactly what we discussed during our trial—bridal glam to the max! Everyone looked stunning, and the makeup held up beautifully throughout the entire day.
I also had the pleasure of working with Nicole for a boudoir shoot, and she once again exceeded my expectations. She created a completely different look for that session, showcasing her versatility and creativity. She brought both looks to life flawlessly, even though they were so different in style.
Nicole truly is a makeup maven! I’m already planning to go back to her for a makeup lesson because I trust her expertise so much. If you're looking for a skilled and personable makeup artist who will make you feel and look your best, look no further than Nicole! -

Nicole is the best, hands down! She was the makeup artist for my best friend's wedding, and I knew then that I wanted her to be mine. She is super fast but incredibly skilled, professional but super friendly, and provided amazing glam for my wedding day. The makeup literally did not budge - I was sweating after our dance party started at night, and you could never tell because my makeup stayed in place so well. She did exactly what I asked for, and I loved it. She also did all of my bridesmaids' makeup and they each looked incredible. Nicole is the best! -

The very best makeup artist!!
Nicole was incredible to work with for my wedding makeup! I was planning a destination wedding in Vail and therefore was not readily available for a trail. My husband made a trip to Vail for our food tasting and hoped to also do my makeup trial at this time. Although it wasn’t during conventional business hours, Nicole was very flexible in making sure we could fit the trial in, despite her very busy schedule!
My wedding day of makeup turned out better than I could have asked for! My entire wedding party was equally impressed with Nicole. She uses high end products and takes cleanliness very seriously. My husband had an unexpected cold sore and my brother got sunburnt on the golf course and Nicole offered to head up to the grooms room to touch up the boys as well! We were very appreciative of this act of kindness she demonstrated to make sure everyone was looking their best. I am so happy to say that my makeup lasted all day, even through the tears that were shed! One of my friends already has Nicole booked for her upcoming wedding and I recommend her to everyone!

Nicole is seriously THE BEST. From my trial to my actual wedding day, she took the time to listen to what I wanted and man, did she deliver! I have honestly never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Nicole is so sweet and is an absolute magician when it comes to makeup! She not only did my makeup, but also my 7 bridesmaids, my mom, and mother-in-law. Everyone looked absolutely flawless!! I am still in total amazement how my makeup lasted the entire day into the night through all the happy tears and dancing. It seriously did not move and looked the same at the end of the night as it did when it was first applied! I can’t recommend Nicole enough!! -

Incredible!
I am so happy that Nicole was available for my wedding! She did an amazing job! Normally, when I get my makeup done, I have to re-do it myself. Nicole did such a beautiful job, that I didn’t have to fix a thing. Even some of my bridesmaids decided to get their makeup done at the last minute because it turned out so well. 11/10 would recommend! -

Becca Sent on 08/21/2020Nicole was Incredible
I don't know where to start! From my trial with Nicole, she was so detailed to make sure I was happy with how my makeup looked. I have always had feedback for any makeup artist to make little changes, whether it is with my eyebrows or liner thickness, but the minute Nicole handed me the mirror, my makeup looked perfect! My husband and I's large wedding was canceled due to covid and Nicole was so helpful throughout the entire process. She was willing to work with us and she really made it easy to want to continue to work with her in the future. My husband and I planned a new intimate wedding within 2 weeks and Nicole was so flexible in making sure she was part of our day. My makeup looked flawless on our wedding day. I don’t think I have ever looked better! My mother and my two sister in-laws also looked so beautiful. I would definitely use Nicole again!!! -

Nicole did my makeup (bride) and all of my bridesmaids and I cannot say enough amazing things about Nicole and her work. We all felt like queens the day of the wedding and that is a true testament to her amazing skills. Even though COVID tried to ruin our plans she was very flexible and just so genuinely nice. As someone who does not wear much make-up, she listened to what I wanted and made me feel so incredibly beautiful without feeling like I was weighed down in makeup. I was actually sad to take it all off at the end of the night. I cannot stop looking back at pictures and the amazing work she did. I cannot recommended Nicole enough! -

Erica Sent on 11/27/2019Amazing through every step of the process!
When I started research makeup artists for my wedding and came across Nicole, I immediately knew she was the one for me. I could tell from her pictures that she had a unique ability, that I didn't see in anyone else, to take a bride or bridesmaids and still make them look like themselves, just "elevated" as my friends started saying. It was important to me to still look like me on my wedding day, not like some other bride I was aiming to look like an Nicole nailed it. I felt amazing but still felt 100% me. My bridesmaids all agreed and were all super impressed. My brother-in-law, who is not very vocal about looks, told my sister she looked stunning! I also truly appreciated Nicole's responsiveness, collaboration, and recommendations she made for hair stylists. She has been in the industry for 20 years in Denver which means she has a lot of experience, a lot of connections, and is super efficient. She worked with my hairstylist, Tina Marie Hairstyling, to put together my day of getting ready schedule and they were spot on (if not done early). I had no stress throughout the entire process and truly appreciate the work that she did and how easy it was to work with her. She was a true blessing! -

Breanah Sent on 11/08/2019Simply the best!
Nicole came highly recommended to me from one of my Bridesmaids who had been in 3 other weddings where she was the make-up artist. After that and a quick instagram search of her work I didn't bother searching for anyone else. Our trial went seamlessly and when I wanted to make an adjustment on the day of the wedding Nicole was awesome about it. I have never had false lashes applied so well, you could barely feel them. In addition to the bridal party, she also did both Mom's make-up (which they were hesitant about doing), but they both LOVED the way they looked. Everyone looked so beautiful and natural. We all cried A LOT that day and no one needed a touch up. I cannot recommend Nicole enough - book her ASAP :) -

Amazing and affordable!
Nicole was one of my absolute favorite vendors. I used her for engagement photos as well as the big day, and she exceeded my expectations on both occasions. I had never had my makeup professionally done before these events, and I was extremely nervous about not looking like myself. Nicole not only achieved exactly what I was hoping for but made me feel so comfortable and confident! She did makeup for my mom, her best friend, and several other members of the wedding party. Achieving different looks for that many (VERY) particular people is not an easy feat, and every single one of them raved about how wonderful she was and what a great job she did! I could not be happier with how everything turned out and I would highly recommend using Nicole if you are hoping for outstanding work at an affordable price! -

I cannot say enough amazing things about Nicole! She was absolutely phenomenal, SUPER responsive, extremely professional (while also being so fun to be around the day of), and just an overall, genuinely nice person. My makeup, day of, was everything I could dream of. It stayed on literally all day without needing a single touch-up. I felt like she truly listened to what I was looking for during my trial and executed phenomenally the day of my wedding. BOOK HER. Seriously, you will not regret it. -

Caitlin Sent on 10/07/2019Nicole is Awesome!!
I am so glad that I chose Nicole to do my makeup for my July wedding! She was so sweet and gave everyone that natural glam look that they were looking for! I planned my wedding from Kansas City and she was very quick to respond to my emails and work with me to ensure that I was able to get a trial scheduled! Nicole was early the day of my wedding and helped ensured that everything ran on time. Everyone loved the look that Nicole gave them and their makeup stayed on all day even after all the sweating! I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for somebody to do their makeup! -

Nicole is the BEST!!!
Nicole was a dream to work with! She did the make-up for my elopement on July 2019 in Colorado. Let me just start by saying that when I contacted her initially, she was fully booked that day (because she's that good!). But she took it upon herself to move her schedule around in order to fit me and my girls in! She arrived on time and finished on time! I looked and felt beautiful the whole day!! The make-up held perfectly throughout the day. She is professional, kind, friendly and was able to perfectly nail the look that I was going for. Would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone and everyone!!! -

Nicole worked with my schedule and allowed for the trial to be just a week before the wedding. She also left time the day of the wedding to add in some of my bridesmaids who decided to get their makeup done. -

Better than I could have ever imagined, perfect!
Nicole was the absolute best. Perfection. Everyone looked so amazing and loved their make up and keep raving about it. She is so professional and kind and easy to talk to. We loved having her in the room getting ready with us. And she is just an absolute genius with make up! Would use her over and over again, if you’re getting married you have to have her!! -

I seriously cannot speak highly enough about Nicole. Not only was she extremely sweet but she was such a calming force during my wedding day for not only myself but for all my girls! She truly made everyone feel so beautiful and was more than accommodating from the moment I booked her! Nicole is a MUST for your wedding day and I would hire her again in a heart beat. -

Nicole did such an amazing job for our wedding!
I had some nightmare trials before I finally found her – some that expected 5-6 makeup trials before settling on a look! Nicole, was totally down to earth, super friendly, and obviously very talented. I spent some time talking about my look and showing her my inspiration on Pinterest. The trial was awesome because it gave me a chance to live with my makeup during the day, see how long it would hold up, and see it in different lighting (inside, outside, etc) before I was locked in on my big day!
On our wedding day, she traveled to us, which was awesome. The last thing I wanted to worry about was trying to get back to the venue on time. She worked so fast! We were ahead of schedule so she was able to work in a few more girls that wanted their makeup done – which was SO nice of her! My makeup was perfect, and it lasted the entire night – through hours of dancing, and pictures while it was snowing!
After having some pretty bad trials, I was terrified of going on any more makeup trials, but I am so thankful I found Nicole. She was very professional, fun and easy to talk to. We had so much fun while we were all getting ready, and I really appreciate the care she took for all of our looks!! Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous; everyone’s makeup complemented them perfectly, while still providing a consistent look across the entire bridal party!
I would highly recommend Nicole for any brides looking to get married in the Denver area! -

Stephanie Sent on 01/24/2019Amazing!
Nicole is AMAZING!! She did makeup for both my mom and I. We both did a trial with her several months before the wedding. I showed her pictures of looks I liked - I wanted something natural looking because I don't normally wear a lot of makeup and wanted to make sure I still looked and felt like me. She did such an incredible job, I absolutely loved it. She was also just so much fun to work with and was very easy to get in touch with on email if I had questions about anything, which I really appreciated! Unfortunately a week before my wedding my mom had an accident that left her with a really intense black eye (of all the times for that to happen right?) and oh my goodness Nicole worked her magic and you couldn't even tell at all, it was amazing! Nicole you were just so wonderful to work with. Thank you so much for making my mom and I feel so beautiful on my wedding day! You are the best! -

Fabulous, Nude yet Glamorous
My make up was exactly what I pictured, natural, nude, and all the GLAM I could have without being over the top. I found it hard to find a MUA in Colorado that could do GLAM make up (most do natural, minimal make-up, which is great, just not my cup of tea), and Nicole proved she was more than capable to handle my requests! I highly recommend Nicole so that all your wedding wishes come true. -

Kate Sent on 11/19/2018The BEST in the business!
Nicole came highly recommended from a girlfriend and I couldn't be more pleased--Nicole was so amazing to work with and she is beyond talented!
All 8 of my Bridesmaids (who have all been in plenty of weddings over the years) agreed that Nicole is by far the best in the business!
If you are looking for someone who is super talented, professional and easy to communicate with, and just simply the nicest person, then you want Nicole for your special day!

Michelle Sent on 09/21/2018Nicole is AMAZING and extremely talented!! She uses high quality makeup, that stays on ALL DAY (I never had to touch it up once all night!!!) and was a blast to be around during your wedding day! Nicole took the vision I had and made it a million times better, it was just the fun/playful look i was dreaming of. I loved my dark lipstick that matched perfectly to my flowers, and decor!! I could not recommend her enough for your wedding day!! You will not regret it- I mean look at that highlight! :)

Kelsey Sent on 01/28/2018Nicole is hands down, the best make-up artist I have ever used. She is so talented, and it definitely showed in our engagement and wedding pictures. All of my bridesmaids commented on how beautiful they felt with their make up done by Nicole. Besides her work, Nicole is a joy to work with -- she is fun, sweet, and responsive. I will use Nicole again for any special events!!

Jackie Sent on 12/07/2017Nicole was great! Incredibly kind, nice, accommodating and nailed the look me and my bridesmaids we going for. Everyone was very pleased with their makeup. Nicole was able to come to the hotel room, complete 5 bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom and the bride perfectly on time. No one was rushed and we all looked beautiful! Highly recommend Nicole.

Courtney Sent on 09/09/2020Nicole is an incredible makeup artist!
I will start off by saying that I am very picky about my makeup! I tend to wear heavier makeup on normal days, so I was searching for someone who could give me that extra flair for my wedding. I looked through the galleries of about 10 other makeup artists before I finally found Nicole and decided to book her for my wedding. I was struck by the variety of makeup looks she is able to create and how beautiful every bride looked in her gallery. Not only did Nicole create the look I was hoping for, but she exceeded my expectations! During the makeup trial, she made suggestions about what would look good on me, but was also super responsive to any changes I wanted to make. For example, she was happy to lengthen my eyeliner wings and add more highlighter to make me glow even more. The day of the wedding, I felt like my makeup turned out perfect. It stayed on ALL day (12+ hours) and only required one touch-up, whereas I normally have to do 2-3 touch-ups in my normal routine. I was also impressed by how responsive Nicole was to what my bridesmaids wanted (pictured), and how flexible she was as the rules constantly changed with COVID. The only downsides to her services are that she requires at least 5 people to have their makeup done in order to contract with her, and she is a little on the pricey side. However, the final result was well worth the money, and everyone looked like a million bucks! Would highly recommend Nicole. -
