    Fabulous!!!!


    Working with Nour as my makeup artist for my wedding was an extraordinary experience from start to finish! She is truly an artist in every sense, bringing both creativity and precision to her craft. Nour took the time to listen to my vision and offered thoughtful suggestions, guiding me to a look that was everything I had hoped for and more. Even after hours of celebrating, every detail stayed perfectly in place!
    What really set Nour apart was her attention to detail and her genuine dedication to making sure I felt beautiful. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

    Best makeup artist ever!!

    I love Nour!! She took my basic idea of what I wanted for my wedding makeup and made it a million times better than I could have ever imagined. I love that I looked like myself, just like my best version ever. I got endless compliments from my family and friends and guests about the makeup of the entire wedding party. I can't recommend Nour enough! She's the kindest, sweetest soul and brought incredible energy, professionalism and love to the day! I'm already scheming of ways that I can work with Nour again!

    Best of the Best!

    Honestly, the only downside is that I cannot have Nour do my makeup everyday and look utterly fabulous as I leave my house each morning.

    Nour is a true artist and unbelievably talented in her work. Her level of concentration, seriousness, and perfectionism when utilizing her craft is stunningly depicted by how beautiful each us looked on the wedding day. My makeup was flawless and lasted all night- warm summer night and late night dancing! She is the best of the best.

    One of the Greats!

    Everything about my experience with Nour was beyond amazing and exceeded my expectations! She is so talented with makeup artistry and application! I loved how she did my makeup for my wedding day, and all of my bridal party looked gorgeous! I would love to have her do my makeup again in the future!

    One word: obsessed. On a regular day, I get out the door with mascara on and that's about it, so needless to say I don't know much about makeup. Prior to meeting Nour for the first time, I had pulled a bunch of different photos of makeup I thought I liked. When we had the trial, before anything else, she took the time to sit down and look through photos and really understand ME. She knew almost instinctively what look I was going for, and how to turn the photos I showed her into a look that was totally perfect for me. After the initial trial, I knew I wanted her doing makeup for both the rehearsal and the wedding. My rehearsal makeup, I trusted her creative instincts and have never gotten more compliments.. it was AMAZING. Wedding day makeup, same thing... my bridesmaids all loved their looks and I loved my makeup as well. If I could take her everywhere with me to make me look and feel amazing daily, I absolutely would. Best money spent, could not be happier.. she is the sweetest and most amazing makeup artist. I can't wait for her to do my makeup again some day! Book Nour, now. You will not regret it.

    Nour is probably the most experienced make-up artist in the DMV. I booked Nour for two of my events: my Henna night and wedding night and both looks were so different (which is what I wanted) but absolutely breathtaking. Nour listened to what I wanted and did exactly that. I still receive compliments from people who attended the wedding (or saw photos) about my make-up. Bridal make-up is not something you take lightly because those photos will last a lifetime.

    Nour is such an amazing talent and I am so grateful to have met her. Not only are her skills out of this world, but she has one of the kindest hearts! I had the pleasure of meeting Nour for my engagement photos and she was so accommodating and knew exactly what I had envisioned. Nour was extremely patient, responsive, supportive, and encouraging during the entire wedding process. I couldn't have imagined my big day without her. She was always willing to work with me if I wanted to make minor changes to my look. All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely flawless and we are all so glad that she was there. I can't say enough great things about her! I highly recommend Nour - we love her!

    Nour did an outstanding job providing make up to me and my entire bridal party which included both adults and kids. She created custom looks for each of the ladies and the make up lasted and looked amazing the entire day and night. She listened extremely well to make sure each of us was comfortable and looked our best. I would highly recommend utilizing her whenever you need professional make up.

    Nour is an amazingly talented makeup artist and an incredibly kind person. She helps you to feel calm on your wedding day. She showed up early to do makeup on my wedding day, which not only helped us greatly with the timeline, but she was also able to squeeze in makeup for my mother in law last minute. I really appreciated her flexibility that day and the fact that she was able to arrive early. She was also very responsive throughout the entire wedding process. I think that makeup is very important for your wedding look and also the pictures, which is something that lasts forever... so this is not something you want to short change yourself on. She is worth every penny!

    From the make-up trial, to the rehearsal dinner and to my wedding day, Nour's work was absolutely stunning. Nour also provided make-up for my bridesmaids, my mother and my mother-in-law. We all couldn't be any happier with the results! The whole process while working with Nour from start to finish was professional yet fun! Not only is she extremely talented and passionate, but she truly is an artist. Nour will make sure you are at least 100% satisfied with her work. If you are thinking about working with Nour, I would suggest you book early as her book fills up quick!

    Nour is absolutely amazing! Her skills are untouchable in the DC area and in the wedding industry in general. My wedding was actually the second time I have worked with Nour and I can't imagine my day without her. She made me look so natural/glowing and was willing to work with me after my trial when I wanted to make small changes here and there. Coming from a girl that doesn't wear a lot of makeup- her advice was much needed and appreciated. I can't tell you how fantastic she is in this tiny box. I just can't wait for my next friend to get married in order to see her again. WORTH EVERY PENNY! Love her :)

    I had a great time working with Nour for my wedding. First of all, she was really flexible and able to accommodate me and some of my bridal party even though she had another wedding on the same day. She was positive and did an amazing job. I truly looked like the bride my mother envisioned me to be. My bridal party and family all looked beautiful thanks to Nour and her assistant. It was wonderful working with her and I would definitely recommend her and her team for wedding makeup and any future event. She's worth every penny ladies!

    Nour and her assistant recently did make-up for myself and my bridesmaids at my wedding. I really appreciate that Nour took the time to really listen to what kind of make-up and effect I wanted, and did a trial run with me prior. I rarely wear make-up and I was afraid I would look too "done up". However, she really hit the spot with beautiful make-up that merely made me look enhanced. My ladies were all very happy with their make-up as well. I can attest that I have had make-up done at other places and it was not nearly as good as Nour. She is well-worth every penny!

    Nour not only provided us with beautiful makeup on my wedding day, but she also brought so much love and joy to the room. Her positive energy is contagious and I am so happy to have had her be apart of the biggest day of my life.

    If you are looking for a true artist, you've found that with Nour. My bridesmaids and I received wonderful makeup design from Nour. She was extremely professional, on time, and flexible for last minute requests. I don't think I'll ever feel prettier then when Nour did my makeup :)

    I came across Nour on WeddingWire and reached out to her after reviewing her portfolio online. She responded to my inquiry and all of my email communications almost immediately (even the annoying ones with me being bridezilla). I was very anxious to schedule a trial because I was also considering another well known make-up artist in the area as well. I had already met with this potential vendor, and my decision would come down to how things went with Nour during my trial. On the trial date, I took my two best friends, and we were very impressed with the amount of inventory that she had at her location. She pretty much was able to handle every skin tone, and had a abundant variety of lipstick colors, eye shadows, blush, etc. When she completed my make-up, my two best friends were in tears, and I felt like a million bucks!! She was able to take the look I imagined for my wedding day, and transformed me into exactly what I asked for. I knew THAT day that she would be my vendor of choice for make-up. On the day of our wedding, she had no assistant (my fault due to short notice for telling her) and managed to handle the entire bridal party on her own with a time crunch. Everyone looked amazing, and was very pleased with the outcome. I would be more than happy to recommend Nour to any future bride who is looking for a true professional in make-up artistry.

    I knew from the beginning that I wanted Nour Kazoun to do my wedding day makeup. At least 5 friends had hired her for their weddings, who all have different styles and tastes, and who all ended up with flawless, perfect, stunning bridal makeup. You'd think my expectations were too high -- but even with all the high praise, Nour was phenomenal and exceeded my expectations. She is not all hype, ladies!

    Despite having seen only a few photos on Pinterest, Nour quickly figured out exactly what I wanted during our trial. She crafted the perfect look that married what I wanted while still making sure she was flattering my features. When the wedding day came, Nour went above and beyond. I've never felt that beautiful in my life. I looked in the mirror and was in complete awe. I can't count how many people specifically commented on how perfect my makeup was, whether they were at the wedding in person or saw the photos on social media -- both professional cameras and cell phone photos. The makeup was exquisite; I looked like me, but enhanced. (For those brides wondering, I opted for dramatic eyeshadow, liquid winged eyeliner, pink lips, and medium contouring and bronzing).

    The last thing I'll say is about Nour's incredible disposition. There are hundreds of talented artists and craftsmen who are perhaps not the easiest to work with. But the first thing you'll notice about Nour is how calming she is. She is cool and collected, and is responsive to feedback. When you're in the chair and she's dolling you up, it's one of the best moments of the wedding and planning process. I couldn't recommend her enough!

    Nour was so great and so much fun to work with. She was so excited to help me on my special day and made it feel like it was the most important event to her. My mother also had her make up done and mom said it was the best decision she made. She looked beautifully natural.

    Nour is quite simply amazing. In looking for a makeup artist, I was disappointed with many of the options out there, especially when their portfolios were small or looked as if I could have done the makeup application. I wanted something really special for my big day! I found Nour via WeddingWire and she had outstanding reviews, so I contacted her to see if she was available for my wedding. From the first communication, Nour was quick to respond and very professional and personable. Her pricing may seem high compared to others, but her portfolio is unmatched by any other makeup artist I came across in my search - just check out her website! As many have said, she is SO worth the money. My bridesmaids and my mother looked stunning and were thrilled with their makeup. My mother and I had done a trial with Nour prior to the wedding and while the look was wonderful and based perfectly off an inspiration photo, after it was actually on my face, there were some tweaks I wanted for the actual wedding day. Nour took that guidance and my makeup was gorgeous and exactly what I envisioned. It takes true artistic talent to do what Nour does so effortlessly. Beyond her incredible talent, she is very sweet and kind. I can't tell you how many people, men and women, commented on our makeup during the evening. I'm so happy to give her a glowing review and would highly recommend her services for anyone who wants to look and feel their best on their wedding day!

    My makeup was perfect and the best part was that it lasted all day! Since I got married in June I was worried about the heat and sweating off my makeup but the makeup was set so nice that it was not even an issue. My bridal party also got their makeup done and everyone came out really well. The makeup really made the pictures "wow".

    I have NEVER, in my entire life, felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day thanks to Nour!! She's a GEM!! SO SO SO crazy talented and amazing to work with. She did makeup for me [bride], 6 bridesmaids and 2 moms and did it all in 4.5 hours. She took her time but was moving at a solid, steady pace the whole time - and, she's got great taste in music and cheeseburgers. :)

    She was SO much fun to have around -- to me, aside from obvious necessary talents, was to truly like and enjoy the company of all my vendors because we were going to spend so much time with them during the day. She was wonderful. Everyone loved their makeup and said they felt like celebrities. :) Lots of selfies that day...

    She's worth EVERY PENNY. Highly, highly recommend her!!

    Nour was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the day we did our make-up trail, she made me feel comfortable and I knew I was in good hands. She took her time with all the girls - giving them the special treatment they deserved as well. Everyone looked fabulous and it lasted all night long!

    After a make-up trial gone horribly wrong, I found Nour less than one week before my wedding day. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck! Nour's confidence and professionalism quickly put my mind at ease, and at the trial, I immediately knew that I was in good hands.

    I could not have asked for a more perfect experience with Nour. She is kind and professional, and what's more, she is incredibly skilled in her craft. My wedding day make-up was flawless, and exactly what I had envisioned.

    I hired Nour to do my make up for my Moroccan engagement party and I could not be happier - she was a dream to work with and the end result was nothing short of phenomenal. Not only is she extremely extremely talented, she is so sweet and kind! I emailed her a few pictures of the look I was thinking and she customized it to what would look best on me. The finished result was better than all the pictures and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! I received an endless number of compliments and requests for her contact information. She is worth every single penny and more!! You MUST hire her - it will be the best decision you make!

    Nour is the best in the business - she is a trained artist and her ability to understand color, shape and shading and how that translates to the face is remarkable. She has done several of my events and has worked on a large group of people remaining professional, extremely pleasant and even calming. Her approach is not cookie cutter, but customized to how you want to look - from smokey eye to simple chic, soft lip or bold. If you want to look beautiful on any special day, wedding, black tie event, night on the town, corporate event, or just for fun -I would encourage you to contact Nour Kazoun.

    Mrs. Nour Kazoun at MadeUpArt did a great bridal makeup for me on my wedding on April 2, 2014. She is really talented and professional, patient in her job and toward clients and understands the beauty and styles more than any other person. I love her work and charecter and I recommend her to any bride close to DC, VA and MD.

    Nour and her team were amazing and made sure I looked flawless on my big day. She had great ideas for different color palates that would look great on my face, and did my eye makeup perfectly, taking in to consideration the shape of my face and eyes. We had a tight schedule on my wedding day, but Nour and her team were always on time and made sure we were ready on time. I really think she's one of the best wedding makeup artists in the DC area - she really knows how to make you look like you're still in your own skin and glamorous at the same time.

    Nour is amazing!!! :) She really listened to what I wanted and desired for my special day (along with all my bridesmaids, my mom, and mother-in-law). She is so talented and I received SO many compliments on how gorgeous everyone looked! I recommend doing a trial before the big day and talking through what you want. She is professional, talented, and responsive - exactly what you need on your wedding day!

    Nour does such an amazing job! She truly is the best. I knew that this was one thing in my wedding that I wouldn't have to worry about because I knew I could trust Nour. She was very professional and showed up on time the day of my wedding and did my makeup along with my mom, aunt, mother-in-law and sister-in-law. All the guests have been raving about how good we all looked! Also, my makeup stayed on all night even though we took pictures outside in the humidity! I highly recommend Nour!

    Jackie and Nour were so AMAZING!!!! Initially I was hesitant of going with Nour because of her pricing, but it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. As you get closer to your wedding, you will begin to stress out about the small things and thank God Jackie and Nour were there to make it super special for me. Jackie actually did me, my bridesmaids, and the mothers on the day of because Nour was already booked. EVERYONE LOVED OUR MAKEUP! We got so many compliments!! I had Jackie stay to right before the ceremony and everyone said how patient, attentive, and sweet she was!! THANK YOU SO MUCH JACKIE!! :)
    When I went for my trials, Jackie did my makeup and both her and Nour tweaked it to my liking!! They were both really nice, attentive, and professional! I felt really comfortable talking to them!
    I will for sure be going back to Nour and Jackie for my makeup for special events in the future!!
    I can't say enough good things about them!

    I'll start off by saying I'm a very picky person! For my wedding I was looking for something that would look good in pictures but not overdone in real life. I asked around and was told who the best make-up artists were in the DC area and I just had to go with Nour. And I'm so glad I did. She not only did a fantastic job but she's also such a pleasure to work with. So much so, that my cousin had to have her for her engagement party. Oh and she also shaped my eyebrows. Again I couldn't be happier with the results. The pictures look great and I felt like a princess!

    Nour did my wedding makeup last year. I went back to her this time as I was attending a family wedding. As usual, she did a phenomenal job! I think I look better than the bride. ;) I kept looking at the mirror admiring her work & I wish I could have worn my makeup all night. Nour is just a rare talent. I will definitely keep coming back to her for any special occasions. Nour is the sweetest & a fantastic person! I LOVE LOVE LOVE her work & her!

    I had a great experience with Nour from the moment we met. She came highly recommended from my planner, and although the fees were higher than others, it was so worth it! Makeup in photos is extremely important and I have no regrets whatsoever. This is something you cannot go back and change. You have the photos forever. I did a trial with Nour before my engagement session and I told her not to go "all out" as I had engagement photos later that day. She listened and did it perfectly. I did a 2nd trial closer to my wedding and it again, just what I wanted. The day of - she was timely, professional, calm and fun. My girls and mother and even Grandma looked amazing. My other grandmother opted not to have her makeup done; she told us later that after seeing Nour's work she regretted not joining us in the fun. My makeup lasted all day and despite some tears - it held up just perfectly! Highly recommend!

    Nour made me and the rest of my bridal party absolutely flawless on my wedding day! My pictures were perfection, and that's due in no small part to Nour! She is friendly, flexible, and a TRUE artist. I knew from the moment I saw her work with other brides that she would make me look exactly as I pictured myself on my wedding day. She's fabulous, and her work stands out from all other vendors!

    I am a little late for posting my review, but it is worth my time to write a review a year later. Nour is so nice and I couldnt have been happier with the makeup she did for me (Bride) and my bridesmaids!!! Not only was my face broken out bad from extreme wedding stress.... I was crying on my wedding day for some other issues and she was able to cover up everything. my makup looked amazing! she is well worth the money! my makeup lasted all day. thank you for making my wedding day better.

    Nour was phenomenal! She is so talented & so professional & the sweetest person. I felt & looked so stunning on my wedding day. She also did the makeup for my wedding party. They were all very ecstatic with Nour's work & felt & looked beautiful. Besides that, Nour made sure that we were all happy with our makeup. As a bride, I highly highly recommend Nour. I loved our trial session but the wedding day makeup totally blew that! She is worth every penny & I understand why she books a year in advance. I only wish I could re-create her application. She is magnificent & I will forever cherish what she's done on my most special day. I will definitely go to her for any future special occasion. Love love love Nour!

    Nour is absolutely top-notch, I can't imagine trusting anyone else to do my make-up on the most important day of my life, my wedding! Nour's assistant Jackie is also amazing. This team is worth every penny spent (and then some.)

    An unexpected bonus of the day was the synergy with which Nour, Jackie, and our hairstylist (Bridal Hair by Remona) worked together. They are truly professionals and their ability to work with other vendors and stay on time with a great result had a surprisingly calming effect on the day!

    We originally planned to have makeup for me (the bride) and the bridesmaids, but by the time Nour and Jackie were finished with us, the mother of the bride and groom were both begging to have their makeup done too. We are still getting compliments on how "perfect" our makeup was on the day, and other friends and family members asking for Nour's info for 2013 weddings.

    Nour is by far the best makeup artist ever!!! I have had my makeup done countless times for several events (only to go home and wash my face because I thought I looked terrible). I hired Nour to do my makeup for my engagement photos and my wedding. Her work is unbelievable - I felt like a million bucks once she was done with me (I could not stop looking at myself in the mirror!!) She was so professional and fun to work with!

    Nour did all 8 of my bridesmaids and both of the mothers. Everyone looked amazing!!!! I was so happy with everything! Nour is incredible and talented; she is also very kind and generous. She deserves 10 stars! Thanks for making me look beautiful on my big day and for making my wedding party feel like celebrities.

    Nour did a fabulous job on my wedding day! She did my makeup as well as my mom's and three cousins. We've all gotten so many compliments on how spectacular we looked. I've actually known Nour for a while now being that I'm in the wedding industry myself (I own "Sofreh Atelier" which is a event design company that also specializes in Persian Wedding ceremony decor).

    I've always admired her work... she's truly an artist. And I recommend her to all my clients who have not yet booked their makeup artist. A lot of times, my brides show up to my appointment having had their trial with Nour... and they always look fabulous. So naturally, when it was my time to have my special day, I called on Nour and her magic touch. I don't know how she does it... look at her work for yourself... it speaks for itself. My mom's friends told her they've never seen her look this fabulous before! Safe to say, I am beyond happy with Nour's service and will always continue to refer my clients to her. ps she was so flexible when I decided last minute to change my eye shadow color from what we decided on in the trial!

    Thanks Nour!

    Nour is amazing. She not only makes you look beautiful but feel beautiful. She did my whole bridal party's make-up and made each one look just as beautiful and unique as the next.

    Also, my makeup stayed on the whole night and I never left the dance floor.

    Nour is first of all a very kind-hearted & passionate person about life. This shows in her work. She did make-up for my wedding on August 3rd for me and my wedding party (bridesmaids and flower girls). Everyone was 100% satisfied with the job Nour did. I felt so beautiful on my special day and I have to say Nour was an important piece of that for me. Her professionalism and making her clients feel like one of her friends is what makes her top notch! If you want to look your best at an event or a wedding you MUST pick Nour. You will not regret spending the money to have this level of artistry. Absolutely amazing! :)

Not only did she make me and my bridesmaids look and feel the best we have ever looked and felt, but she also sewed my sister into her dress - calmly and quietly - after the zipper broke. I cannot say enough positive things about Nour. She was the best investment I made - hands down. My husband, who is very picky about makeup, told Nour that I have never looked better than I did on our wedding day - a HUGE compliment. There is simply no one like her. Hire her; you will not regret it.

    Nour was great. She made me (a person who has almost no experience with makeup) feel extremely comfortable. I really enjoyed working with Nour.

    Nour was beyond wonderful on my wedding day and leading up to it. She was incredibly professional and arrived early. She was flexible and stayed later than anticipated and was very helpful in putting my veil because my hair stylist left before doing it! She is also a true artist - she did makeup for my mom, mother-in-law, aunt, cousin, and sister and everyone with the different age groups and skin types looked amazing. Thanks Nour!!!

    Noor did an AWESOME job with my make-up for my South Asian wedding reception. Pakistani wedding make-up is very dramatic. I searched for a make-up artist for a good 2 months before I ran into her website! Her make-up style was exactly what I wanted; dramatic, but clean. I told her what I wanted and she delivered! My eye make-up was amazing. I got compliments all night! My bridesmaids got their make-up done as well and they were very pleased. They are still talking about how amazing their make-up looked!

    I had a trial run before my wedding and it definitely helped me figure out what kind of look I was going for. Noor is very kind, patient, and professional. If you're looking for drama, I highly recommend Noor.

    Nour Kazoun was just AMAZING! I was very concerned about finding the best makeup artist I could because I wanted to look my best on my wedding day. I found no luck after interviewing several well-known makeup artists in our area. By faith, I found Nour by flipping through Washingtonian Bride and Groom magazine. I quickly called and arranged a trial run. A minute I met Nour, I knew she was the one for me. I didn’t have to discuss much about my looks for the ceremony and the reception.

    Then the wedding day came and I don't know how she did it, but my makeup looked better than the trial run! Never in my life have I felt as beautiful and glamorous as I did on my wedding day which is exactly how every bride SHOULD feel! Nour applied make up for all my bridesmaids and they were also gorgeous! Our makeup lasted all day and night. She made us all look so stunning and I was so happy!

    Nour went above and beyond my expectations! Thanks so much for such a great experience. Friends and family have commented on what a fabulous I looked and I have to say, we couldn't agree more! I would highly recommend Made Up Art for any bride and I will always return to Nour to do my makeup for any future events.

    Thank You so much Nour for being part of my important day!

    I cannot say enough good things about Nour. She is amazing and truly an artist! She is extremely sweet and made me feel so comfortable. She captured my vision in terms of how I wanted to look on my wedding day. She is very attentive and really loves what she does – it shows in her work and her demeanor.

    I highly recommend a trial before your big day. Nour made me feel so comfortable and went through several different looks with me. I felt so confident in her skills!

    Nour did the make-up for me, all of my bridal party, my mother and my mother-in-law. She showed up on time and kept us all on schedule. Our make-up lasted the entire day and she did an absolutely stunning job on each of us! I couldn’t have been happier with Nour. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for the most talented make-up artist for their special day!

    During my wedding planning process, I searched long and hard for a good makeup artist. Both my videographer and wedding planner recommended Nour to me and I noticed how many glowing reviews she received. I emailed her that day and was extremely impressed with her portfolio.

    For special occasions (birthdays, weddings, NYE parties, etc), I usually get my makeup done at a MAC store, but I always come home feeling unsatisfied and I end up fixing one or two things. This was not the case with Nour. After my wedding trial, I booked her immediately and I had total confidence she would nail it on my big day. Nour definitely understand how important it is to look your most beautiful on your wedding day – I even signed up my mom and my maid of honors so they could look amazing!

    On the actual day, Nour arrived early and was ready to rock n’ roll. She was extremely professional, attentive, efficient, and so easy to talk to you. Everyone (especially my husband) and their mothers were stunned to see the final result of my look. She is extraordinarily talented in making you look your best by enhancing your features. Nour knows which colors to use on each individual to give them their perfect look.

    Another great plus about her is that she had a great connection with all our vendors (photographer and videographer) – so she knew what they needed from her to capture the shots they were looking for. I seriously looked the best I have ever looked, which gave me confidence to have an amazing day. I received so many wonderful compliments both during and after the wedding. It has been 3 weeks and I am still getting asked “who did your makeup?” from recent and future brides. Best day of my life!

    I recommend Nour to all you future brides! She is amazing and worth every penny! If you want to look your best on one of the most important days of your life, pick Nour! Thank you so much Nour Kazoun!!!!!!

    Nour was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I first found Nour from this site and fell in love with her looks. I was surprised by how quickly she responded to my emails and was blown away by how nice the responses were. At the make-up trial, from the moment I saw myself in the mirror, I knew I had to have Nour apply my make-up. Nour is a true artist and on my wedding day I was even more pleased with the results than I was at my trial. More importantly she adjusted my look last minute to incorporate some Indian inspired make-up touches for my mom. She made both me and my mom feel extremely comfortable and relaxed even though we were running late (my fault). She also changed my look for the reception and completed make-up for seven other members of my family. All of the looks were amazing and unique. Months after the wedding, my sisters still comment on their make-up from the wedding. I know that in the future I will return to Nour to have my make-up done professionally and I would also highly recommend her for any bride (including ethnic brides).

    After hours of searching on the Internet, I knew I wanted to book Nour as my makeup artist for my wedding. She is an artist in the truest sense of the word. I was fortunate enough to be able to book her to take care of my matron-of-honor, mom & mother-of-the-groom, in addition to myself. Nour & I had a makeup trial approximately 6 weeks before my wedding and she spent a considerable amount of time getting to know me and creating the perfect look for my big day. On my wedding day, she arrived on time and totally prepared. Nour had us all looking beyond beautiful and our makeup lasted the entire day...even after dancing at the reception. She is very conscientious and truly cares that each client is happy and comfortable with their makeup before she considers her job done. Our photographer said that every time Nour does the makeup for his brides, he is able to spend less time retouching photos, which was an unexpected bonus. For those who think her rates are high, please understand Nour's talent is worth every penny.

    Nour was extremely easy to work with- from setting up the original consultation to the final product on my wedding day. I loved my makeup! Nour was able to make me look special, yet not overdone, as I don't normally wear a lot of makeup. It was fantastic! My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law were also all very pleased with their makeup. I highly recommend Nour!

    Nour is one of the most talented professionals I've had the pleasure of meeting. She is humble and refreshingly honest about what palette of colors best suits each individual. I went for a consultation for my wedding makeup and was instantly at ease with her. Fully "madeup" I looked as fresh and gorgeous as any bride would want to be on her day. She makes your complexion truly flawless and knows exactly how to make your natural shine through on camera! Highly recommended!!

    I set up make-up trials with 5 of the most popular and highly rated makeup artist in DC, including Nour. I truly loved Nour's services for several reasons: 1) she has many years of experience in this industry, so she understand what photographs well and she understands what the camera likes; 2) she truly embraces the notion of full coverage makeup that will make you look natural nevertheless; 3) she is professional and responsive. I would highly recommend her services to all brides, especially Persian and Indian brides.

    Nour is an amazing artist!

    She will bring out the best features of you and make you look so stunning. Anyone, who sees you that day, will be talking about how pretty your makeup is. She is very professional. She will be there on time and finishes on time. She loves what she does so much that will make you so calm and relaxed knowing you are in great hands. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup and told me that they will definitely use her again for any of their occasions. Bottom line Nour does an amazing work and you should have no doubt you will look your prettiest that day!

    Simply put, Nour is an amazing makeup artist. There is no one else who can make me look like my absolute best self. When I got engaged I knew that she would be the one to do my makeup, in fact I booked her the day after I got engaged. I have had great experiences with her over the past five years (bridesmaid 5x over) and every year her technique improves in ways unimaginable-she understands skin, texture, bone structure and above all-color. She is well worth the money!

    Please book her before she becomes famous:)

    I would highly highly recommend Nour for any event. I can't wait for my sister to get married so we can work with Nour again!

    The makeup that Nour applied during the trial was GREAT. I kept staring at the mirror and I couldn't imagine it would be better on my wedding day. On my big day, Nour was at my house on time. My mother in law was there and she kept saying (OH MY GOD!! IT IS AMAZING!!) while Nour was applying the makeup. When I looked at the mirror, I couldn't believe this was me!!! I was soooooo amazed by what she did that I started to cry of happiness. I looked like a queen even though I was still wearing my shirt and jeans!!!!. When I walked down the stairs, my husband didn't stop staring at my face whispering (you look gorgeous!!). EVERYONE attended the wedding said to me (you look like a QUEEN!!),(you look like you just jumped out of a bridal magazine). I think the makeup is the most important thing in such an important day. Also, Nour is very warm, understanding, talented and very artistic that she even fixed my hair and put my vail. I felt so comfortable when she was applying the makeup on my wedding day.

    Nour is so talented, she was the easiest vendor decision I made. She made me feel so beautiful, comfortable and glamorous. She gave me the exact look I wanted while also going above and beyond. She is so fun to have around on the wedding day and makes you feel very special. She also did my makeup for the rehearsal dinner and it was out of this world.

    If you want perfect makeup for your wedding, hire Nour!!!

    Having MadeUpArt as my wedding makeup artist was the best decision I made! She was the one vendor I did not need to worry about… She was responsive, professional and knew exactly how to handle a nervous bride. She kept me calm, made me pretty and thanks to her great work my makeup stayed on through all the crying and dancing! Thank you Nour from MadeUpArt for being the most amazing makeup artist.

    Nour was amazing. I was very happy with her services. She was a calming force on a busy day! She listens to your vision and can totally carry out anything you ask. She is extremely good and compared to the many many make-up artists I have tried, the most dependable, reliable, and talented. She is amazing with shadows. My makeup did not need to be touched up the whole night. Instead of worrying about my blush, I spent the whole night on the dance floor! I highly recommend her!

    Nour is complete perfection when it comes to everything listed and make up in general. She is so talented, kind & thoughtful! She is truly a joy to be around and I ALWAYS feel beautiful when I get up from her chair. She has always made me feel great and I'd never go to anyone else! I doubt ANYBODY else can paint on a flawless bright red lip! She did a great job at my wedding and if you are interested in pics of me with her work on you can go here:

    Nour is the best make-up artist in the DC area. She was so helpful with both my wedding makeup and the makeup for the boudior session - her recommendations were spot on and I thought I looked amazing for both. I love the type of makeup that Nour used and she was exactly right when she promised that it would not come off or smudge during our extremely hot outdoor wedding. Even through the sweating it stayed on! I would definitely recommend that brides book Nour, but book her early as she is extremely popular!

    Nour is an absolute delight to work with and truly understood what I was looking for in my wedding make up and my bridesmaids' wedding make up! I was thrilled that she gave my bridesmaids individual, beautiful looks according to their different faces, and my own make up was right out of a high-fashion shoot. I have never looked so good! Thank you, Nour, for making me and my bridesmaids feel our absolute prettiest on my wedding day! And thank you also for your punctuality, value, professionalism, great attitude, and excellent job working with my other vendors (hair stylist and photographer, specifically). Ladies, if you want flawless make up and service, look no further!! :)

    Nour's service was exceptional. I would recommend her to anyone who really would like to look their best. You tell her what you need and she executes with no exceptions. She was extremely flexible, responsive, and professional. I can't wait to work with her again.

    Nour did makeup for my mom, sister and me on my wedding day. Everyone said we had never looked more beautiful! Her work is stunning, photographed beautifully, and lasted all day and night! Every girl deserves the confidence you get when you have perfect makeup, so I highly recommend Nour to all future brides!

    Nour did a fantastic job applying makeup for my entire wedding party! I had bridesmaids of different ethnicities and skin tones, and every girl's makeup looked absolutely beautiful! Everyone was very happy with the final outcome!

    Nour was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I was thrilled with my makeup for my wedding! She did makeup for me and for three other people on my wedding day. Everyone looked absolutely amazing. The photos also turned out great. I was really happy with her work and would highly recommend her to other brides or to anyone who needs make-up done for a special event.

    Nour did a wonderful job on the most important day of my life! I loved the makeup she did and I could not ask for anything more! It was perfect! Not only is Nour incredibly talented, she is incredibly sweet, calm, patient and fun to be around, which is the type of person every bride needs around her. In addition, she did an amazing job on my sister and sister-in-laws! They were just as happy and pleased as I was! Thanks again for everything Nour! You are awesome, and I can't wait to see you again for future events!

    Nour is amazingly talented! My makeup as well as my bridal party's was stunning. Her ability to do any type of makeup is tremendous! My bridal party was a multi- racial and ethnic group- and no one's makeup was less than gorgeous! Nour's makeup is made for photographs and looked perfect throughout the evening without any touch-ups! The hotel wedding coordinator as well as my planner felt that she is on-par with Carl Ray without all the pomp. Nour is kind, professional and very very easy to work with- a bride's dream. Book her and Remona for hair- you will be a vision on your big day!
