Professional Bridal Make-up Artist - BA (Hons)

Please scroll below to peruse my client feedback

Had an excellent make up lesson with Niki. She was a lovely lady and gave lots of helpful tips and advice and wrote everything down for me so that I could purchase a lot of the products she used, which were brilliant. I didn't have the makeup lesson for a wedding, but would definitely recommend her to any bride.
Angela Moore - July 2011

Niki did my & my sister's make -up for my wedding in May & did an amazing job! I wanted a fairly natural look as I don't normally wear a lot of make-up & didn't want to feel as if I was wearing a lot. The result was a total success & lasted for the whole day. I had so many compliments on how natural & fresh-faced I looked - even at the end of the evening, a good 12 hours since the makeup was applied. The eye make-up made it through all the laughter & tears during the speeches without a single smudge - something I've never been able to achieve myself! The trial beforehand was really useful as Niki took on board my likes & dislikes & had some great suggestions on what she thought would work well. Niki was incredibly professional & lovely & calm on the day, I would recommend her to anyone. If I ever need a make-up artist again I will definitely call Niki!
Fiona Robinson - July 2011

Niki did make-up for myself and my mother on my wedding day in June. I was basically able to leave Niki to it - the colours were great, all brilliantly applied and lasted ALL day - everyone was commenting on how I looked no different by the end of the day. Niki was extremely professional - punctual and unobtrusive on what, for some people, could probably be a stressful day. Niki would definitely have a calming influence on a stressed bride! I highly recommend Niki for anyone requiring their make-up to be done - if I ever need mine doing again I would not use anyone else. Thanks Niki!
Loretta Cairns - July 2011

Wow what can I say, Niki did mine and my mums make up for my wedding in June 2011, from start to finish Niki was very professional and made me feel at ease with the choices I was making. Your wedding day is the one day that your make up should be top priority and she managed to work her magic and make us look wonderful. I will recommend her time and time again.
Amy Cooper - June 2011

Niki did mine and my daughters make-up for my wedding day in May 2011, and also did my mother’s at the last minute without any problem at all. I wanted a very natural look as i don't usually wear a lot of make up, and that is exactly what I got, I was so pleased with the result and it lasted all day. Niki was also incredibly quick in returning phone calls and texts, which means a lot when you are busy planning a wedding. She also has the perfect balance between being professional and friendly, with an incredibly calming presence. I would definitely highly recommend her.
Caroline Davies - May 2011

Niki did the make up for my wedding at the end of May 2011 in Epping. I couldn't recommend her highly enough. I found the short video's of Niki applying makeup a great way to get an idea of her style and personality; I was worried about trusting someone with my makeup for such a big day – I needn't have been. She rocked! Niki did my make-up and 3 adult bridesmaids and did a fantastic job. I had a trial with Niki prior to the wedding day, but the bridesmaids (coming from across the country) didn't – but that didn't matter at all. Even I didn't help when I decided to completely change my eye colour from the trial (sorry Niki!). Niki was cool, calm and prepared (straws for drinking your champagne with so not to ruin your make-up anyone? Genius!) and I would highly recommend her to any bride-to-be.
Holly Mason - May 2011

Having your make up on your wedding day is a real treat and Niki was a great person to to it. I first met Niki a few weeks before my wedding, when she did a trial run. She discussed different make up options and
we tried many different looks, from the natural style to a more made up look. It was definitely worth trying it out first. On the morning of my wedding, Niki was calm and patient and I was really pleased with the results. Myself and my three bridesmaids looked lovely and the makeup added to a great day!
Caroline Harborow - April 2011

I recently had a make up lesson with Niki who taught me techniques in covering my horrible spider veins on my legs. Niki showed me how to do this so easily and recommended products that are reasonable in price, easily available and that I didn't even know existed! Niki was very patient and understanding and I look forward to wearing shorts and skirts now with confidence. Niki also showed me how to apply day and night make up using colours that I never would have thought of using before, since the lesson I have had several comments about how fresh I look! I would highly recommend anyone to book a lesson with Niki, she is very knowledgeable, professional, understanding and very friendly. Thanks Niki!
Emma Wadworth - March 2011

Absolutely brilliant make up artist! Niki did the make up for me, four bridesmaids and my mum for my wedding on 18th December 2010. She was fantastic both on the day and at the trail, keeping everyone clam and doing make up which lasted all day and looked just as good at 1 in the morning. I'd highly recommend Niki to anyone and only wish I could think of another excuse to have my make up done by her again!
Rachel Jeffcoat - December 2010

We all want to look perfect on our wedding day and make sure the day is perfect too... So I can honestly say Niki is fantastic to work with and I cant recommend her enough. From the initial chat to the trail and the big day itself! Motivated, fun and a true professional who gets as excited about your day as you are -Niki just gets "it"! Which means one less thing to worry about!! : -) Niki helped make me feel like and look like a princess. Niki listened to the ideas my bridesmaid and I had and then added her own special touch so we still looked like ourselves ( just very glam selves!!) Niki arrived early and even though it was total chaos around her remained calm and nothing was too much trouble - Thanks so much Niki, I'm now just finding an excuse for an event so I can book you in again....
Clare Page - December 2010

Excellent service and value for money! Niki did the make up for me & my 4 bridesmaids earlier this month (October 2010) and she did a wonderful job. I had a trial with Niki, as did one of my bridesmaids, and we both agreed that the make up was exactly what we wanted. Niki did the other 3 without a trial and all the girls looked stunning! Niki also fitted in my mum at the last minute without any trouble at all! I would definitely recommend Niki to anyone!
Laura White - October 2010

Flawless, perfect make up - faultless! I chose Niki among a few potential make up artists for my wedding on 25th September. From the outset she stood out from the others - always speedy and professional in correspondance, she made everything easy from the off. So many others faffed around with their availability and with Niki it was just all straightforward and hassle free. Not only that, but at the make up trial at my house she was a clear professional - effortlessly talented and passionate about her work, it is clear from the way she works and talks about the products and techniques that she very much knows her stuff. The make up Niki did for my trial and wedding day was actually PERFECT - exactly what I wanted, the exact balance between natural / subtle and noticable / glamorous - I literally cannot fault her at all. Niki was a calm and professional reassuring presence on wedding day amongst my nerves - and she has a lovely way about her, friendly and warm without being one of those really annoying people you get that just babble on and on loads of rubbish!! She is just a very natural, talented artist and a very special find. I got sooo many compliments on my wedding make up and I really did feel like a million dollars - AND it lasted all night despites lots of food drink and sweaty barn dancing!! I bought loads of new make up to top it up through the night but didn't need it and still havent open most of it!! Amazing!! I feel very lucky to have had Niki for my wedding and can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Niki for being such a big part of the happiest day of my life!!
Iman Heflin - September 2010

Niki was my make up artist for my wedding on the 11th September 2010. She also did my Mum as well on the day, We felt at ease with niki from our first meeting right through till the day, She's got a fantastic wealth of knowledge ,very professional and works with the best products plus she's a lovely person , We would strongly reccomend her, On the wedding day niki had such a calmness about her, and helped to steedy my nerves. The Finished look was incredable ,Thank you niki so much !,your definatley the no 1 make up artist in the area !
Amy Harding - September 2010

Just wanted to say thanks for the make up lesson last week. I felt absolutely great afterwards and it gave my confidence such a boost ( didn't feel like such an old bag!) You were worth every penny (cheaper than a face lift, mental health counselling etc) and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anybody feeling a bit worse for wear. You made me feel at ease straight away, not at all awkward and you gave me so much info re products etc. I highly recommend a make up lesson with Niki whatever your age. A lesson would make a great birthday/xmas present too.
Lesley Gibbon - September 2010

Niki did a fantastic job on my wedding makeup. She has a lovely calm nature and listened attentively to any changes I suggested from the trial. She was there well in advance of time and did a very professional job. I tried an artist in Armani first but Niki was definitely the better choice, I was really pleased. Book her!
Clodagh - August 2010

Niki did my make up for my Wedding in August 2010. She also did make up for my mum, Maid of Honour and Bridesmaid. I had a 5 year old flower girl, who Niki was more than willing to just brush a little translucent powder across her face and add a touch of tinted lip balm just so that she could feel like a "princess" for the day too. As it was, the 5 year old didnt want anything!! Niki is an exceptional professional, and very very good at what she does. Right from the trial make up that she did for me when I visited her with my mum, I knew that it was Niki that I wanted to do my make up for my Wedding day. She truely made me look like the elegant princess that I wanted to look like. She recommended what she thought would work for me, but also listened to my opinions and took into account my likes and dislikes! On the day, she was the ultimate professioanl in amongst all the chaos that was going on. She arrived with a smile on her face and was ready to go. Nothing was too much trouble and she did not get stressed as time got on. She remained calm and professional throughout. Niki is truely amazing at what she does, and from the minute you meet her you will be put at ease and made to feel that it is all about you. Her talents and products are amazing! I would highly recommend Niki to anyone looking for a make up artist, and have already given her name to a couple of my friends who are getting married next year! If I ever needed a make up artist again, Niki will be the one that I call, she is fantastic!
Rachel Adcock - August 2010

Excellent Wedding Makeup‎‎ Niki did my makeup for my wedding in August 2010. I found the trial really useful & Niki knew exactly what would suit but still took on board my views. She responded to all communication quickly & had a calm, professional manner during the makeup sessions. Niki was fantastic on the morning of my wedding when things were chaotic. She was especially good when doing my mum's makeup who was nervous about it being over done. Lots of people commented on how good my makeup looked on the wedding day! Thanks Niki!
Kirsty Miller - August 2010

Nikki did my make-up for my wedding in August 2010. She was so professional and calming, I enjoyed just sitting there relaxing while she did my make-up. I was so pleased with the results, she made me look fresh and natural which was what I asked her to do. I have recommended Nikki to friends who are getting married.
Alexandra Baker - August 2010

Niki did my and my Mum’s make up for my wedding in August 2010. My Mum looked 10 years younger and said she felt amazing, she said Niki is a talented artist. I had a makeup trial with Niki in May 2010 and knew that she was the makeup artist for me, she uses high quality products and is clearly experienced. Niki is very friendly, open and honest and a true professional. On the day of my wedding, I was looking forward to meeting her again, Niki achieved the dramatic look I wanted. I looked stunning, my flower girls called me ‘the princess’ all day. I highly recommend Niki and have no doubts about booking her again for future special occasions. Thank you Niki. 
Neera - August 2010

Niki was my make up artist for my wedding in August 2010. She did the entire bridal party and she did a fantastic job! She pleased both my mother and mother - in - law, both of whom don't like to wear make up - they just looked a million dollars and they seemed so much more confident! My bridesmaid's make up looked wonderful with their dresses and I felt like a cover girls for the day! I can't recommend her enough.
Naomi Akielan - August 2010

Niki was so friendly relaxed and professional. She listened to what I wanted and made me feel gorgeous! I had had my make up done in department stores on a few occasions previously and not been happy with the result. But niki got it spot on first time, and I could not have been happier. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to friends and family.
Andrea Waller - July 2010

Nicki was my make up artist for my wedding on the 24th July 2010, she also did my sisters and mums makeup. Right from the initial enquiry with her she was very prompt and professional. The trial was fantastic and was really worth having. On the day of the wedding she was calm, professional and brilliant. We were all very happy with the level of service she gave and would highly recommend her.
Emma Crowe - July 2010

Highly recommended and professional. Niki was my makeup artist for my wedding on 10 July 2010 and she did an exceptional job on myself, my bridesmaid and mother in law. She is a very talented professional and made us all look fabulous and like models on the wedding day. Niki is calm, relaxed and made me feel so at ease at the wedding trial.I knew my makeup on the wedding day would be exactly what I wanted. Niki, you are a star and I would recommend you to anyone looking for a professional make up artist for weddings & special occasions. I look forward to using you again in the future.
Farah - July 2010

Niki did an amazing job of my bridal make-up in June this year. She also made my mother and bridesmaid look like models! She has a very calm, professional manner and has a lot of experience and knowledge of the industry she works in. I was concerned that I wanted my bridal make-up to look very natural and Niki did a perfect job. Her prices are very competitive for the level of service she provides and compared with others in the same field. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or to book her again for any future special occasions!
Sharon Woodcock-Allen - June 2010

Niki did a wonderful job of getting me and five bridesmaids ready for my wedding on June 5th 2010. Having had a thorough consultation I had no worries before the big day and just had to sit back and look forward to being made to look and feel my best. Niki was open to suggestions and was flexible about making minor adjustments, so at no point did I feel like anything was being imposed or couldn't be tweaked but at the same time I had the benefit of Niki's obvious high level of expertise. It really was a wonderful experience sitting surrounded by the girls being made up - an important and memorable part of the day. It got more and more exciting as bridesmaid after bridesmaid appeared looking beautiful and glowing. Niki's calm energy and professional approach combined with her clear talent and unbelievable range of brushes (!) make her a brilliant choice as a make-up artist and I would recommend her to anyone planning their big day!
Clare - June 2010

Niki did my bridal make-up as well as three bridesmaids in May 2010. From the make-up trial to on the wedding day, Niki was very flexible with where to meet and reasonable with travel costs. She was great fun on the day and did our make-up to a very high-standard, that everyone was very pleased with. I would highly recommend her.
Lyndsay Wakeford - May 2010

Niki was make-up artist at my wedding at Brocket Hall on 24th April 2010. She did the make-up for myself, my mother, my three bridesmaids and an additional friend. I really cannot recommend Niki highly enough - from the initial trial through to the wedding day itself she was absolutely superb! She is extremely talented at what she does, has a very calm, flexible, professional approach, competitive prices, and would be the first person I would call should I need to hire a make-up artist in the future. We all thought that she was an absolute star!
Vikki - April 2010

Niki did the make-up for myself, 3 bridesmaids and the mother of the bride. we were a fussy lot with different skin types and problems, but nothing phased Niki. She had a solution for each of us and she made each of us look and feel like a model. I never imagined anyone could make me look so good. Her professional and friendly service was also amazing value. I will definitely be using Niki again - maybe for a Christening?
Vikki - March 2010

A big thank you Niki, for the amazing job you did on my wedding day with my make-up, She put me at ease straight away, and suggested some lovely colours to match my skin tone and also to compliment my features when she first visited me for my trial. On the big day itself, Niki was very calm which helped me remain calm and relaxed! The makeup was so clean & fresh and everyone commented on how lovely my make up looked - it was an emotional day with lots of crying but my make up didn’t smudge, it lasted and look beautiful all day long, I was so happy with it! I would highly recommend Niki to anyone I know, who is getting married & for any special occasion.
Sophie Francis - March 2010

My mum was so pleased with her make-up and both the bridesmaids looked lovely. My make-up was absolutely perfect, stayed on all day and made me feel wonderful! You are a very professional and calming person and it was great to have you around on the morning. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to anyone. As soon as I get the photographs I'll send some to you. Thanks for all your help.
Stephanie Radusin – Jan 2010

Hi Niki, I have been waiting for Stephanie to come back from her honeymoon to get your email address so that I can thank you for the wonderful makeup you did for me for her wedding. It lasted well and I felt so good, I've also seen the photographs and I even look good on those. So thank you so much.
Debbie Radusin – Jan 2010

Niki, was so great to meet you, we loved our makeup and got so many compliments! Thank-you also for helping me with the dress!
Private client, special occasion make-up. 2009

I’ve been meaning to let you know how impressed we were with Niki, after the shoot I was chatting to Anna Ryder Richardson who said that in all the years she has been working, there are only a handful of hair & makeup artists she would use again, and Niki would be one of them, apparently she did her make up exactly how Anna likes it! Please pass on my thanks to her, and as soon as we have any more requirements for hair & make up, we’ll definitely get in touch.
Caitlin McReynolds, Argos. 2008

So many thanks for my wedding make up. Seeing as I don’t wear makeup at all I was slightly concerned about the amount that I would have to wear. The make up you did for me didn't look too much at all and looked really natural. It lasted all day and it didn't need updating at all during the day. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wanted their make up done and will drop you a call if we are off to a "do" and I think that lippie and mascara won’t be enough!!!  
Anneli Pilcher, Bride. 2008

I am sorry it has taken me so long to write to you. I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing my make up on my wedding day. I couldn't believe how fantastic I looked - and believe me it was all down to you. My bridesmaids and the two mums also looked amazing. We all felt like filmstars and it was so nice to have someone so calm and friendly with us on the day. I really can't thank you enough.
Emma Sadler, Bride. 2008

I don’t think I can thank you enough for the make-up on my wedding day-it was truly wonderful. The whole day was a bit of a blur and it is only when I look back over the photographs that I can really appreciate what an amazing job you did. Thanks also for your expert confetti-cone-filling skills, I am extremely grateful for all your help.
Helen Gower, Bride. 2008

I would like to thank you for doing the make up on the day - we got loads of comments on how nice the make up was!!!!!!
Jessica Rosedon, Bride. 2006

I just wanted to thank you for doing such a wonderful job for us all on Friday. We were all so pleased with our makeup and it really helped make our day special. Mine stayed completely in place all day, and actually looked nearly fine when I woke up in it the next morning, so I didn't have to bother doing it again for breakfast!
Sarah Craighill, Bride. 2006

Your standard of work was superior. Your application skills are divine and you carried out my instructions to the letter. You are not only incredibly competent and talented but also calm and very focused. I can’t fault you or your work in any way and I’m delighted to work with you. You’re amazing! Here’s to the next time!
