    I loved Dallas

    I hired Dallas for my day-of wedding makeup. She did my bridal makeup and 3 of my bridesmaids. I had a few notes following our trial and Dallas listened to everything! As a girlie who wears little makeup Dallas did an excellent job of making my makeup look natural but glamorous at the same time. Our wedding day was in the high 90s and my makeup lasted all day after sweating and crying.
    Dallas also gave me an extra powder and lipstick for touch-ups throughout the day. HIGHLY recommend Dallas, she’s a true professional and just fun to be around.

    Worth Every Penny!

    Powder Inc. did bridal hair and makeup, 6 bridesmaid makeups, 2 mother makeups, and 3 bridesmaid hairs FLAWLESSLY and still finished early.
    Working with Dallas and Katelyn was so easy and I could not have been happier how my hair and makeup turned out. 2 weeks before the wedding I texted Katelyn asking if I could revise my updo that we did at my trial a month prior. She was so accommodating and really worked through what I was wanting.
    Everyone I interacted with at Powder Inc. made me feel so welcome, I could not have imagined a better bridal beauty experience.

    Event hair & makeup

    Katelynn did my event hair and makeup for me and she was the most sweet, warm, genuine human I’ve met in a while. She did an amazing job and exceeded my expectations. I loved my whole look and everyone commented on it all evening. She’s a gem and I would recommended her to anyone.

    Amazing Bridal Make-Up & Hair by Alyssa Bradley

    The woman of Powder Inc. were professional and easy to work with (this was truly why I decided to move forward with them in the first place). As soon as Alyssa got assigned to my wedding and we started communicating trial dates, I knew I’d be in good hands.

    From start to finish, Alyssa made me feel SO comfortable and only cared about how I truly felt in my own skin. She encouraged feedback and accepted it all beautifully. I’ve had only gotten my make up professionally done one other time so was very hesitant in the first place but Alyssa assured me every step of the way that everything would turn out the way I wanted. From someone who barley wears make-up. Alyssa truly nailed the natural bridal look and I’m so thankful I had her as my artist.

    In result, I felt beautiful inside and out on my wedding day. I highly recommend that you ask for Alyssa if you choose to book through Powder Inc!

    Amazing Experience!

    I’ve had two fantastic experiences with Powder Inc.! Alyssa has done my makeup for both my engagement and wedding and I couldn’t have been happier! She puts her heart and soul into her profession and it certainly shows. Alyssa was the only person in the room on my wedding day that helped me feel relaxed when I started to feel overwhelmed. For the first time in my life I truly felt and looked beautiful. Thank you so very much Alyssa and I look forward to seeing you again for future events!

    Incredible service

    I loved working with Sophia. Her dedication was so reassuring during the stressful phase of wedding planning! The team was flexible and willing to work around the chaos the morning of. Everyone looked gorgeous, and I received so many compliments about my hair and makeup!

    Incredible!

    Nicole & sophia truly made such a huge difference in my wedding day. Not only did these girls go above and beyond with my trials & test runs, they were so talented and really listened to what I wanted for my special day. Sophia did beautiful glamour waves on me (which stayed for 3 days btw) and Nicole tailored a glowy / bronze-y bridal makeup look for me that lasted through the test of tears, RAIN, & drinking. (Can I get a hallelujah?)

    I seriously cannot recommend this company enough. Nicole, you have built a wonderful business and beauty empire. These girls are going places!!

    Powder Inc. to the rescue!!

    Amazing experience, couldn’t have asked for a better HMUA on my special day! Nicole, Megan, and Sophia came to the rescue when my original artist cancelled last minute. Thank you ladies for everything you did, you are all truly so talented! The looks they created were STUNNING and made me feel so beautiful.

    Would definitely book again!

    I worked with Lindsey for my hair and makeup and she was amazing! From my trial to the wedding day, Lindsey was an absolute joy. Aside from being amazing at hair/makeup, she has a great personality and was so fun to be around. I had a small bridal party so there were just a few of us getting ready that morning. Lindsey added such a fun element and was constantly making us laugh all morning - she was such a great addition to my getting ready experience. She even went above and beyond, staying a few minutes late to help my mom with her hair and helping blow dry a wet stain on my shirt before pictures. I also decided to change my hair and makeup a little bit from what we did at the trial and Lindsey just went with it and I was so happy and confident with my look. When it came to booking and communication, Powder Inc was one of the best vendors I worked with. I always got a quick response whenever I reached out. Overall a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Powder Inc!

    I can’t recommend Powder Inc. enough!! Best glam squad in Portland

    I honestly can’t say enough amazing and positive things about the entire Powder Inc team!! I was on the hunt for a hair and makeup team that could do the specific bridal makeup and hair that I wanted and not only did Lyndsey and the rest of the girls go above and beyond of anything I could have hoped for but they were so easy to work with. I had 9 bridesmaids and 2 Moms that needed hair/makeup done and they were so flexible with working with a large wedding party and our wedding timeline. The communication throughout my year and half of wedding planning was professional, accommodating and amazing. On the day of my wedding not a single one of my bridesmaids complained about the way their and makeup looked like or wanted to make changes which is rare. All of the girls were blown away and in complete awe over their glam for my wedding. Everyone’s makeup lasted 12+ hours and we were all sad to wash it off at the end of the night. Lyndsey was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for my hair/makeup for my bridal trial run, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day The whole team was so much fun to work with and had such fun personalities! They made my wedding morning beyond stress free. I would recommend any future brides to book them. Best decision ever!!

    Love Powder Inc.!

    Dallas did my makeup and Maggie did my hair for my wedding and I can’t recommend them enough! From the trial run to the day of, they helped me achieve the look and feel I wanted and brought my vision to life. Getting ready the morning of my wedding was such an enjoyable experience. My mom, sister, maid of honor, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law also got hair and/or makeup done and looked stunning. Maggie and Dallas were a pleasure to work with and helped me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I felt like an elevated version of myself and my look lasted all day.

    Can’t recommend enough!

    I can’t speak highly enough about Powder Inc. Nicole and her team combine professionality, artistry, grace, and good vibes to create an experience that is easy to recommend. I worked with Megan, who from my trial run to my wedding morning made me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. Talented beyond her years, she created gorgeous looks from the bride, to the maid of honor, to the mother of the bride. She brought my pinterest board to life and I couldn’t have been happier. My makeup was flawless all evening, enduring high summer temperatures, happy tears, and a night full of dancing. I can’t thank Megan and Powder Inc. enough for being such an integral part of my bridal look and experience.

    Wedding dream come true!

    Nicole Wagner and her company, Powder Inc, had always been my dream vendor for my wedding day. I started following Powder Inc on social media years ago and was always amazed by Nicole's artistic ability. Nicole has a way of making people look absolutely stunning while maintaining a natural beauty look. Nicole is extremely gifted and talented.

    I immediately reached out to Powder Inc once my wedding date was set. I had a great experience from start to finish. Powder Inc's Admin Assistant, Kaylin, was very responsive and helpful with initial inquiry, the follow-up communication, and helped me find an artist for a last minute Boudoir Shoot.

    I was ecstatic when Kaylin confirmed Nicole would be available to do my bridal hair and make-up. It was a dream come true! Nicole is not only a talented and gifted artist, she is also an amazing, kind, caring, thoughtful, and genuine person. You can tell she loves the work she does by watching her in action. I loved getting to know Nicole on more of a personal level during my Bridal Trial Run. Nicole was so easy to talk to and it was fun sharing life experiences and stories.

    One thing I would like to recognize Nicole for is her willingness to be available to her clients during the months leading up to the wedding and after the wedding. I was able to text Nicole asking her random questions about skin products and blemish care. I had a bad breakout a few days leading up to my wedding. I immediately texted Nicole and she made a few recommendations that saved my skin for the wedding day. Nicole even took the time to check on me and my skin the day before my wedding.

    Nicole's passion, ability, and expertise shines through her personality, the amazing works he does, the gifted Powder Inc team, and the successful business she has created. I was very impressed with the Powder Inc Team on my wedding day. My mom, bridesmaids, and flower girls all looked stunning.

    I would like to thank Nicole and the Powder Inc Team for making my wedding day hair and make-up dreams come true! I would highly recommend all brides to work with Powder Inc on their special day.

    Made my make-up and hair dreams come true!

    Katelynn was absolutely amazing when it came to my wedding hair and make-up! During my trial she took all my inspiration pictures and made them come to life. On my wedding day she made some adjustments to my hair that only made it that much more amazing! I felt and looked like myself while still feeling so elegant and beautiful. My experience with her and the rest of the Powder team was phenomenal. My mother, mother-in-law and bridesmaids all looked gorgeous. The Powder girls were also so fun to have around during the day. Overall I would recommend them again and again to anyone who needs hair and make-up services!

    Perfect Wedding hair and makeup

    I had the pleasure of having Nicole , Alyssa, and Erika do hair makeup for me, my mom, and my 3 bridesmaids.
    They were so flexible with the location. They produced the best hair and makeup I have ever seen. It lasted the whole day and the next! They were all super fun to talk to you and really make your getting ready amazing! The hair really matched all of my bridesmaids, my mom, and I’s style. The makeup was perfection and elegant . Nicole and Alyssa really showed our true selfs through the makeup.
    I can’t imagine hiring anyone else for your wedding day hair and makeup. Powder Inc definitely has the experience and passion to make any bride look beautiful

    Amazing Experience!!

    Planning a wedding is already stressful enough and having to find someone who will make you look and feel beautiful on your special day is even harder.

    Nicole is not only an incredible human being inside and out, but her team also functions at the same high level standard.

    As someone who is an introvert at heart - I always get nervous and anxious with meeting new people, but Nicole was so easy to talk to and I immediately felt comfortable and confident in her presence. She took the time to ask me what I wanted and I sent her photos of what I was looking for. Not only did she absolutely nail my glam look, but she was also genuinely excited to execute it.

    She is down to earth, professional and just an all around good human being and I highly recommend her to anyone for your hair/makeup needs. She beyond talented and you won’t have to worry about a thing.

    5 stars all the way baby!

    I had the most incredible experience with this talented team of makeup artists! Not only did they work their magic to make me and my girls look stunning, but they also created a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, kindness, and sweet demeanor truly set them apart. I felt like I was getting ready with a group of friends, and their expertise left me feeling confident and beautiful. These amazing girls are an absolute treasure and I can't wait to have the pleasure of working with them again! Five stars all the way! Nicole and her team are something so special you won’t regret it if you use them on your big day! 🫶🏽

    Amazing! Go hire them ❤︯

    I started following Powder Inc’s Instagram page a while back and fell in love with their style! As soon as I got engaged and set a wedding date I knew I had to have them for my hair and makeup! Once I met Nicole for my trial run, I knew that I made the right decision (not that I ever questioned hiring her and her team) but everything turned out better than I envisioned it. Nicole is so talented and not to mention the sweetest person ever, one whom I now consider a friend of mine🫶🏻 I have never felt as pretty as I did for my trial and my big day❤️ If I could give a 100 star rating I would because she and her team are THAT good! My makeup stayed on for days, LITERALLY! All of my bridesmaids and mom were in love with their glam. If you don’t hire them, you’re missing out. Now I need to take one of her classes so I can do my own makeup this good lol. Also, here we are 4 days after my wedding and my single lashes are still on, looking great 😍

    AUH-mazing! Just book!

    Nicole is amazing! If you are considering her, stop considering and BOOK HER! She did my makeup for a recent wedding as a bridesmaid. I’ve honestly never felt more beautiful! I showed her a few inspiration pictures of Adele and she quickly went to work! Not only was the makeup completely timely but she even did individual lash extensions versus strip! I will definitely be using her again and again! Dina did my hair for this wedding and truly knocked it out of the park! I have a lot of long hair and wanted a fairly detailed updo, Dina went right to work and asked me for my feedback along the way! I truly could not have been happier overall with my entire experience!
