This review is long overdue. I had the absolute privilege of having Niki do my wedding day make up and the faces for 4 bridesmaids and my mom and I can not imagine anyone better to be part of our special day. All the ladies were thrilled with how they looked. I watched Niki make each woman feel at ease and talk them through the experience. Niki light them up from the inside by asking about favorite memories from our friend group or about their kiddos. Our looks lasted all day! On my wedding day, I laughed, kissed, cried, danced, ate BBQ ribs- and my makeup stayed as perfect as the moment it was put on. I have a 6mo old daughter who started to melt down in the middle of my makeup application and Niki, being an awesome mama, asked if I needed to take a break to sooth my little one. She didn't make me feel like I was setting us back. When I came back with obvious tear streaks down my face, Niki didn't say anything about having to go back and fix work she had already done. She asked if the baby was sleeping and happy, asked if I needed water or anything and restarted when I was ready. I know it threw off the schedule but Niki took it in stride and focused on making me feel relaxed. This is EVERYTHING! lastly, there are so many little details that happen in the last days/hours leading up to you wedding and Nikis punctuality and professionalism made me feel at ease. I knew I would not have to worry about anything involving make-up because Niki had it handled. She was clear about what kind of space she would need and brought everything to stay self contained. This woman is a rock star!!! I feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with Niki! read more

Niki was so lovely to work with! She put me at ease very quickly, she was gracious and sincerely complimentary, just a very kind and encouraging young woman. She did my makeup for a branding photoshoot, it looked amazing all day, stayed on ALL DAY and I felt beautiful and comfortable. I will hire her again because her work is just beautiful, and SHE is just a beautiful person. Thank you, Niki! read more

Not only is Niki a consummate professional, she is also a delightful, empathetic woman, generous with her time, extraordinarily skilled and knowledgeable about all aspects of makeup, from ingredients to age appropriateness of applications, full of remarkably helpful tips and product recommendations, and keenly aware of a client's preferences and needs. read more

What a FIND Niki is!!! Niki did the makeup for my daughter's wedding. Niki takes your natural look and enhances it. You still look like you - but WAY better!! The everyday makeup usage of the girls in our wedding party ran the gamut of never wears makeup to shovels on makeup! Niki consulted with each client in our wedding to insure the finished look would meet the customer's needs. As the mother of the bride, I LOVE MAKEUP. Throughout my lifetime I have spent lots of $$ experimenting with different looks /brands/ect. After consulting with Niki, I looked like me - only WAY WAY BETTER. Natural looking! I got so many compliments from our guests ! Niki made us ALL feel like fairy princesses on that special day! read more

I apologize for writing the review so late. Nikki was amazing. She was precise to our (me and my sister) requests. I hired Nikki for my sister's wedding last year in summer. She was on time and came prepared for any possible changes. i had sent her the pictures of the make up and hair that we were looking to do. My sister had a trial but I didn't live in the area so never got to do a trial however, she was perfect. The look that we both had stayed and lasted for the entire day starting 7 AM to 12 AM (midnight). My sister and I are both picky on our hair (dos and products) and make up (brand and the amount). Nikki was extremely careful in understanding those needs and giving us the best. We were very happy with her. I'd totally recommend Nikki for Wedding hair and make up. Nikki you were able to pull of my hair just from a small video and picture I sent you. Hats off. read more

This is long over due. Nikki is hands down the best makeup artist I have ever worked with. And I have worked with many as I used to model. She's delightful to be around and technically very gifted. Added bonus is that she teaches you tips and tricks to up to use in your daily makeup routine. Don't let anyone else touch your face on your big day. Wish I had known her when I got married several years ago. read more

I hired Niki to do makeup for a packaging shoot I was directing. It can be tough doing age appropriate makeup on children so they look completely natural for packaging. Niki used age appropriate techniques on the models so they looked fresh and clean. It was a great shoot! She was very easy to work with and with no effort helped to make the models feel really comfortable. The company I worked with used her again for a commercial shoot and she rocked that too! Print, commercial, packaging, or bridal. Whenever or whomever you need to look great and feel awesome you should hire B3 Beauty By Brennan! read more
