Just a quick message to say thank you so so much for doing my make up and that of the bride tribe on my wedding day! You were so calming and a lovely presence to have that morning. All of our make up was just stunning, and I have to say my mam looked a million dollars thanks to your help 🥺 the amount of compliments I got and I can even see it myself from the photos, the glow was just glowing 😍 I was so so happy with how it turned out so thank you so much again ❤️ xx”

I just wanted to send a quick thank you for the amazing job you did for my wedding make up. Myself and the girls were absolutely thrilled with the way it all turned out and it lasted right through the day and well into the night. Yourself and Cathy Anne really created the best atmosphere in the house on the morning of the wedding and we cannot thank you both enough for creating a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. You really put all of our minds at ease knowing we were in safe hands. I will definitely recommend you to someone who is looking for wedding make up in the future.

I could not recommend Nikki more for bridal makeup. My makeup was absolutely perfect and I felt a million dollars on the day. In the trial she listened to everything I asked for and made some great suggestions on what would suit me too. I was so happy after my trial so could not wait for the big day. On the big day she was a pleasure to have around with laughter and smiles and my makeup was flawless and lasted all day and night! My bridesmaids were so happy with their makeup too. Thank you so much Nikki
