Reviews (31) 5/5

Planning a wedding can be quite stressful however your make-up on the other hand, doesn’t have to be.I have had the pleasure of working on hundreds of brides and I will ensure you a hassle free and enjoyable experience.

I have over 15 years experience in the wedding industry.I travel to your home or venue to ensure a calm and enjoyable atmosphere. I only use the top brands in make-up and skin care products, giving you and your skin, the well deserved time and attention in creating your desired look for your wedding day.

Traveling the length and breadth of the country I use my skill, knowledge and experience to discuss your skincare and make-up techniques whilst listening and working with you, to suit your needs, and bringing all aspects of the day into consideration to create the perfect look for your big day.

Bridal make-up is extremely personal so during a trial I discuss all areas of skin care, make-up and hair styles to ensure the whole look is cohesive. However it is imperative that each bride feels like themselves, and therefore comfortable, but making them feel at their very best. Together we can create a natural or a more adventures look depending on your requirements.

My experience covers all aspects of media make up, including fashion, photographic, magazine and television. However my passion and specialty lies with bridal make up. You can read reviews of previous brides on the reviews page.

I was the beauty editor for a wedding magazine where I worked with some of the country’s top photographers, stylists and models on a professional and personal basis. Working on a vast amount of bridal photo shoots and magazine covers gives me huge experience in photographic make-up that ensures a flawless, timeless picture with long lasting make-up from dusk to dawn of your very special wedding day.

Nicola made our morning! She was fun and bubbly and spent the whole morning really chatting and being one of the girls. Spent heaps of time with me and my 2 little girls (pretending with them). Even did my buttons up as she is very fast at these. On the day. She was amazing and everyone looked fantastic. Would highly recommend her

Nicola was amazing, professional, friendly and so insightful with lots of advice on things I hadn't even thought of. She was so calm that no one got stressed at all while we were getting ready. The bridal party all looked gorgeous & she tailored the make-up to each of us. She was a godsend! Couldn't have asked for more, a real professional and such a lovely person as well. Just added to the whole day

Nicola looked after myself and my 4 bridesmaids at my wedding in April 2022 and I couldn't have been more delighted to have had her as our make up artist. She was super professional and responsive in the run up and made sure that I got exactly what I needed from the trial, despite my ever-changing mind! On the big day Nicola made sure to take each of our own personal preferences into account so that each of us was 100% happy with how we looked and felt - time and effort that was very much appreciated! The make up was perfect and lasted all day, and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nicola for any bride-to-be!

Nicola was absolutely amazing to deal with. From our first pre-covid meeting to rescheduling our wedding & finally getting to our big day Nicola could not have been more helpful, she is super organised and talking through the pre-ceremony details with her made me feel very assured I was in capable hands. Such a calm and positive person to have around on the wedding day and for the build up. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble even when my nails didn't turn out properly from another supplier Nicola saved the day on the wedding morning. Loved having her in the house to add to the fun of the wedding day and keep me calm! The make up was flawless throughout the day and was still in place at 5am!! 100% recommend Nicola for her make up artistry and her fabulous personality!

My wedding makeup artist cancelled 4 days before my wedding. I contacted Nicola through Weddingsonline. She responded immediately, rescheduled appointments to accommodate me and was extremely helpful. Nicola reassured a tearful bride to be without any time for a trial. Any questions or worries were answered with confidence and experience dealing with stressed brides. On the day I was thrilled to meet this bubbly pleasant lady. Nicola pulled out all the stops with the bridal looks and took everyone's opinions into consideration. The atmosphere was electric and nothing was too much bother. I would highly recommended her bridal makeup and words cannot describe how she saved my dream day. Everyone sang her praises and all worked out for the best.

Nicola was so lovely from start to finish. I actually booked her after seeing a friend have her make up done with her. I absolutely loved my makeup for my Wedding and felt it was exactly what I wanted. Nicola was honest and so good at recommending what would suit us. My makeup lasted through all the tears and dancing ! She also did my 3 bridesmaids and my Mam and they loved it. Nicola is also great chat and I loved having her on the morning! Would highly recommend her to anyone.

Nicola is excellent at her job and really reasonably priced. We had to reschedule due to COVID and she was so accommodating and supportive. Nicola is straightforward, down-to-earth, and really knowledgeable about skincare and makeup which I really appreciated as it helped clarify what to expect and what makeup would work best. Nothing was too much trouble! My lips dried out really badly before the wedding but Nicola dealt with it so well that you really couldn’t tell and I felt completely comfortable. The makeup on myself and my bridesmaids lasted extremely well and showed up beautifully in the wedding photos. Nicola is really experienced so she’s a great presence on the day - well able to clarify the process and help the morning run smoothly which you really want (trust me!) She also helped advise on a good hair stylist to book which was great! Highly recommend Nicola!

From my first contact with Nicola, I loved her, she was so honest and open, I booked her immediately. She is so knowledgeable in her profession, great with advice and an absolute must have on any Brides wedding morning. She bounced into the hotel, full of life, and from that moment everyone just laughed non stop. Nicola made the morning so completely enjoyable, but also was completely professional, she had everyone ready on time and even helped with things that were nothing to do with make up. I cant recommend Nicola enough. Not only did she make me look great but she also made me feel great.

Nicola was fantastic from day one, any changes I wanted she was willing to listen and discuss in detail. She gives great advice for what suits your skins needs on the day and in the build-up to the wedding. My sister-in-law and both my bridesmaids were delighted with her work. I honestly could not recommend her highly enough, I would definitely go back to her for any of my professional make-up needs. Her relaxed, calm, fun and organised manner on the morning of the wedding made it such a special morning for us all.

I'd really like to thank Nicola for helping myself and my ladies look like movie stars for the Big Day. I'm not used to having my make up done and from the moment I met Nicola at my make up trial, I knew that she would help us achieve my vision. Nicola was so relaxed and easy going and was very responsive to my messages. I'd have no hesitation in recommending her or using her again!

Nicola was an absolutely wonderful makeup artist. From my first consultation I knew I was in safe hands, she came highly recommended by a friend and my sister in law who had both looked stunning on their wedding days. Nicola looked at a picture of my dress and straight away came up with a beautiful, soft makeup look for the wedding day. I was so delighted with my trial and on the big day she really outdid herself! I had 8 people in total for makeup and Nicola managed to give all 8 of us plenty of time, taking into account everyone's personal style and preferences. She was absolutely lovely on the day and had a really calm but organised presence. We all looked fab, I can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you Nicola!

We recently got married here in Co. Kildare and from the week we began planning our day I wanted the best. Nicola from the moment I spoke with you at booking almost 2 years prior to our wedding date I knew I had the right person for our bridal make up. You made each of us feel stunning and thats a very hard thing to do when you dealing with ladies who work in the industry, but you did so well they each loved their make up and it goes without saying that i loved mine. I'm sure we will meet again, I will always reccomend you highly. Best of luck for the future xx.

As someone who doesn't wear makeup daily, picking a makeup artist felt like a scary task - Thankfully Nicola was my heroine! From our very first meeting she listened to what I wanted, and guided me as to what I might need (how heavy to go for photos, how to help it last the day, what skin care I should consider leading up to the day). I had the most beautiful, natural makeup and everyone said it was just stunning. All of my bridesmaids were slightly different in colouring and skintype, but she made everyone look the very best versions of themselves (Including a makeup-phobic Mother of the Bride, who thought it was just lovely and felt great). She also helped me to plan the timing of the morning (ready 20 minutes early!), and reminded us all to eat a few sandwiches to keep us going. She was fantastic to have in the room on the morning.

Having a really good make up artist for my wedding was really important to me. Firstly, I suffer from acne and, though thankfully my skin improved greatly before the wedding, I wanted an MUA who understood this. There were also 7 of us to be looked after on the day so I knew that this would require someone with loads of experience who worked well under pressure. I was so happy that I was lucky enough to book Nicola! I was very nervous arriving at my trial in May. I had already had a couple of trials with different MUAs and just wasn't happy. Nicola immediately put me at ease. She is so professional and her experience shines through. As well as this she is a really friendly, bubbly and patient person. I left my trial feeling so excited for the big day. From the moment Nicola arrived at the venue on the morning of the wedding we never stopped chatting and laughing. She breezed through the seven of us without a hint of hurry or pressure. We were all so thrilled with our make up as it is a very individual thing and Nicola manged to listen to us all and create a look just right for each of us. I got so many compliments throughout the day about my make up and my best friend commented that Nicola was the first MUA that ever got the look she wanted spot on! Looking back on photographs and the wedding video I am so thrilled with the look Nicola created for me. I was perfectly my style and worked so well with my hair and dress. I would recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a super talented, professional, friendly and relaxed MUA. Don't even hesitate!

Nicola, thank you so much for being part of my Wedding Day on 24th October. I was so pleased with my natural bridal look and got so many compliments on the day that I felt like a star. The morning of the Wedding was so much fun and you were not only a professional Make Up Artist but managed to keep us all on track from remembering to pack our suitcases to making sure we ate a good Irish breakfast to keep us going. I'm delighted I found you. Caroline xx

I researched a huge amount of make-up artists for my wedding which was small and personal but I wanted it to be perfect. From the day I met Nicola for a consultation, she was down to earth and approachable, listened to what i wanted which is so important & put her own touch on things. She had both my sister & I in stitches and I knew I had made the right decision in booking her for my wedding. On the day itself, she was calm and relaxed and set the tone for the day. Everyone commented on their make-up and were all thrilled with the results - which lasted the entire day. My sister was so impressed, she also booked Nicola for her own wedding later this year. I would without question recommend Nicola to friends and family and am looking forward to having my make-up done again by her in a few short months!!

Nicola was fantastic! I'm not used to wearing alot of make up so she did a really natural look that made me look incredible. I'v also got some pigmentation issues which she was able to completely cover up. My skin was flawless and stayed that way until the next day! I would highly recommend her!

Nicola was set up with the Ironing Board and away she went. She had us Beautiful even before the photographer and video man arrived!!! She had a busy morning with me, my bridesmaids and a sister. Two of my sisters never wore make up before in their lives and by god Nicola was firm but fair and was very helpful! She came highly recommended by my sister in law, and lived up to all expectations. Nicola is a pleasure to deal with, easy to talk too, easy to make contact with and is extremely professional. She is very knowledgeable on all things make up and beauty related, we even got some tips! It was a pleasure having you around on the morning of my day Nicola, you had us all calm, you helped with the dressing, the make up and almost more importantly the craic ? Never left our side until we left for the ceremony. Would Love to do it all again!

My best friend recently got married and Nicola did our make-up. She came to the house on the mornng of the wedding, and waved her magical brushes. I don't wear a lot of make-up and Nicola knew exactly what I liked and wanted, and gave me great skin advice. Nicola is very professional and does her job above and beyond. Thanks Nicola for turning Cinderella into a Princess.

Well, what can I say? Nicola was just fantastic. Nicola came to my house on the morning of my wedding and did makeup for me, my mam and sister. She completely listened to what we wanted and made us all look beautiful, everyone commented! She was very relaxed, friendly and professional. She went above and beyond her call of duty, even calling to my friend's house on an 'emergency' errand! It was great to have Nicola with us on the morning, I can't recommend her highly enough, thanks Nicola.
