Cambridge wedding makeup


I am a professional makeup artist with 10 years of experience, based in Cambridgeshire!

I fell in love with the art of makeup in my teens- the transformative power it holds has always amazed me. I trained with MAC Cosmetics and the MAC Pro team in London where I learnt my craft! Working for MAC gave me an understanding of how to enhance features and lift my clients’ confidence with the power of makeup.

My career has allowed me to work as a Senior Artist for Charlotte Tilbury, as well as educating students at Cambridge regional college.
From painting faces in music videos, to perfecting makeup looks for photoshoots- no two days are ever the same in my job; which I absolutely love.

My job allows me to often work at luxury wedding venues across Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk including Bassmead Manor Barns , South Farm , Swynford Manor and The Old Hall Ely to name but a few! I love creating classic beautiful bridal makeup looks in these gorgeous settings- I am a hopeless romantic, so to me, there isn’t a more perfect job than getting you ready to marry the love of your life!

I specialize in creating modern yet timeless makeup- I focus on making you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself; with my professional guidance on how to make your makeup last all day, as well as knowledge on how to look picture-perfect for the photos in your wedding album.

I believe that makeup is all about balance, so rest assured you are in safe hands when it comes to gorgeous, lightweight and glowy makeup application.

(No scary over-the-top eyebrows either- unless you want them of course 😉)

Just drop me a message using the ‘get in touch’ button, I would love to be your makeup artist on your special day!

My mum really enjoyed the little pamper and skincare, and she looked beautiful!

I was mother of the bride on Saturday, and she was calm, professional and managed to make me look a bit younger!

TESTIMONIALS

 
So thankful that Nichola had availability for my wedding day. ❤️ she made us all feel at ease aswel as making us look beautiful.
As beautiful as my trial bridal make up was, it was even more beautiful on the day of the wedding. Both my mum & 5 Bridesmaids were so happy with their make up also.
couldn’t recommend Nichola more, she was 1st to arrive and last to leave, helped with top up and dresses just before the ceremony. feeling very lucky to have found her 💓 thank you again.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nichola was recommended by a friend some years ago, she has done my make up for all family weddings and events since.
We got married on Saturday, Nichola was amazing, she went above and beyond, not only did she do an amazing job with all our make up, fit another unexpected person in, she was flexible with the changes we made, she managed to keep me calm when in the last hour I turned into bridezilla, removed a large bright pink lipstick mark from the front of my dress which my mum made by mistake when getting me into the dress, she even fanned me to keep me cool whilst waiting for the car to arrive ….I’ll always be using her for my make up needs and 100% recommend her x thank you for making me look amazing for our wedding day ❤️

I first met Nichola when I was a bridesmaid at my best friend’s wedding; fast forward 3 years and I was checking she was available before I’d confirmed my venue! Nichola is not only an incredible MUA (my eyes have never looked so good), but her calming presence for my wedding morning is something I will forever be grateful for. She really did (and still does) feel like of my girls! Nichola had 6 of us to get ready in the morning and catered for everyone’s individual needs with such grace (and perfectly to schedule). We had numerous compliments throughout the day and are still fresh faced in the 10pm photos!
