I met this incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, creative, extraordinarily talented, inspiring, and delightful Make Up Artist by happenstance. I just googled Makeup Artists near me. What fortuitous googling!   It was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with Nicolette. She makes the whole experience so easy from start to finish from our first message to discuss the details through our fabulous glam session in her amazing studio. I am naturally a shy person but she has such a knack for putting people at ease. Her warmth, positivity, and effervescence is infectious. She makes you so comfortable. I really felt like I was spending time with an old friend.  I was nervous prior to getting my makeup done professionally for the first time for my son's birthday party. I always did my own makeup, even for my wedding. I had so many reasons to say no. As a Mom you often put yourself on the back burner. I would feel guilty leaving my kids and taking time for myself. This event, I finally promised myself I would treat myself to pampering. Nicolette knew that while I was ready to take a little risk and do something out of character. I still wanted to feel like myself. Looking over her portfolio photos, I was able to find the perfectly feminine, pastel, ethereal, fairy tale princess type look I believed would suit my son's Mickey themed party.   While my infant son was the star of the show. With the glamorous look Nicolette gave me, I was definitely a very, very close second. I felt so fantastic throughout the whole event. My makeup was impeccable and stayed flawless all day long. It may sound dramatic, but I think women understand that to us it's much more than makeup. Nicolette is a truly brilliant and gifted artist. What she is giving us women is confidence and the ability to be seen outside of our role as wife and mother. My husband has known me for over twenty years and he was gobsmacked by my transformation. He couldn't get over how big, bright, and shining my eyes looked. He kept gushing over me and praising Nicolette's talents. She created a stunning look which is the perfect realization of the way I envisioned myself feeling at my son's first birthday. She made my dreams come true. I felt like Cinderella, the Belle of the Ball. And that feeling is priceless and one I will surely not forget. I will have the amazing pictures and the extraordinary memories to cherish for a lifetime. So many of my female guests went out of their way to remark and comment on my appearance. Everyone wanted to know: Did I do it myself, did I have it done, and most importantly who did it. She certainly impressed everyone, including my MIL, hehe. The MIL Seal of Approval, what more can you ask for? I have nothing but positive, complimentary things to say about my experience with Nicolette. I am so happy to have found such a reliable, artistic, skilled, and dynamic Makeup Artist who is also a super friendly, caring, and dedicated person who goes above and beyond your expectations. So thrilled Nicolette was part of my special day. read more

I can't say enough about Nicolette!!!! I've had my makeup professionally done a few times before, and I can honestly say that Nicolette is the BEST! She communicated with me from the time I asked for more information, to the day of my engagement pictures. While she applied my makeup, she explained everything in full detail about the products she would use on my face, and even recommended some products for me to use at home. No other make up artist has ever done that for me. I felt at ease knowing what was going on, and felt comfortable that my makeup would look amazing! My make up lasted ALL day! Even in the rain! I woud definitely recommend her for any occasion! read more

I could not be happier to write my first Yelp review about a wonderful woman who is a MAKEUP BOSS LADY. After hours of arduous research of the best makeup artists in Philadelphia, I decided to take a chance on Chic Cosmetique. Perhaps "chance" is not the correct choice of prose because Nicolette's website and before/after pics depict accurate translations of her talent (and she is super talented). In a perfect world, I would have organized my inspiration photos more efficiently but Nicolette was patient as I gathered my thoughts. That said, Nicolette eased my nerves with her calming energy and amicable personality. Then, she made me look my best self!!! Nicolette's attention to detail and ability to translate a look is impeccable. I received numerous compliments during my event and my favorite quote of the day came from my mother: "beautiful, she killed your makeup." I cannot wait to up my makeup game with Nicolette. She rocks and your makeup will too! read more

She's a lovely lady and truly is the best at what she does. Can't wait to see her again! Highly recommended! read more

I cannot stress enough how much of an amazing makeup artist Nikki is. She was the perfect combination of friendly and professional, and her talent is off the charts. I'm very picky with my makeup and don't usually wear a lot, so I was dreading having my makeup done for my wedding. Nikki NAILED IT!! She knew how to compliment my best and complicated features and hide the ones I hated. She also matched my skin tone perfectly and didn't just cake foundation on me. the cherry on top is that she's super friendly and very sweet, which helps a lot when you're stressing over all the wedding stuff. Me and all my bridesmaids looked amazing. Nikki is the coolest in the beauty industry! read more

Nicolette is truly a makeup ARTIST! She did my makeup for my 60th birthday and I could not be happier. The look was sophisticated, and the color palette was spot on for my coloring. The individual lashes were a win! Nicolette could not be nicer. Note: make sure you allow the time for her makeup as she does take her work seriously including consulting with you, a detailed and carefully crafted application of the makeup and ensures you are happy! She is a pro. read more

Nicolette was amazing! My entire experience was so great and I looked so amazing for my black tie event. She knew exactly what I wanted from the picture I provided and it turned out spot on! She is so skilled and takes the time to make sure everything looks perfect. I felt so confident the whole night :) I can't wait for the next event so I can book an appointment with Nicolette!! Cant recommend her services enough! read more

Had an absolutely wonderful experience with Nicolette! She did my make up, my sisters, mom, and mother in law. I was from out of town and didn't do a trial and it looked absolutely perfect the day of. My sister had a black eye from a fall a couple weeks earlier and Nicolette covered it up perfectly. She was also super responsive and on time. Would definitely recommend her for any bride! read more

Nicolette made me look absolutley gorgeous at my engagement party! I'm definitely not the type to know anything about makeup or how I want my make up to look like. I brought some pictures to show her what I kind of wanted it to look like. She did an amazing job going above and beyond what the pictures looked like. Since I am from another culture, Nicolette did her best to expand her knowledge of Indian traditions. Her make up lasted ALL day. On top of everything, we were in a time crunch (sorry about that!) But even in the time crunch, she exceeded my expectations, and I still got to my event on time! I highly recommend Nicolette and her bubbly personality! read more

Nicolette was wonderful to work with from start to finish! I am not one that usually wears a lot of makeup so I was hesitant at first to book a makeup artist. Nicolette made me feel so comfortable, we talked on the phone for almost an hour! I just knew she would be the right fit for my wedding because she was so invested in her career and you could tell that she really did care about her clients, just in the first hour of us chatting. Nicolette was the first person I booked for my wedding! I loved my trial makeup, she really listened to exactly what I wanted. I LOVED my bridal makeup and all of my girls loved their makeup as well! She is a true artist. I HIGHLY recommend! Thanks again Nicolette, hope to see you again soon! read more

I cannot recommend Nicolette enough. From the trial through the wedding Nicolette was amazing and responsive. All of my emails were answered within 24 hours. Our initial consultation was very methodical and she really took the time to make sure she understood my vision. She knew what would work for my skin tone and how to address any concerns I had. On the day of Nicolette was early to arrive, was completely set up (her range of product choices is unreal!) and ready to go as soon as the girls and I arrived. She is such a professional. I got married on a VERY humid day and while I was sweating like crazy my makeup DID. NOT. BUDGE. My mom and my bridesmaids all loved how they looked which was so important to me. Nicolette took the time to make sure everyone looked and felt their best. Hiring her for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made. read more

Nicolette knows how to work a makeup brush! I am usually totally squeamish about getting my makeup done, I haven't deviated from my cat eye in YEARS, I know what I like!! But I'm getting married and my no-frills approach to skincare and makeup wasn't going to hold up. I chose Nicolette because she practices what she preaches. She is her own canvas, and she looks phenomenal, so you know she knows what she is doing. She is beyond skillful and really knows her products. I admittedly, don't take the best care of my skin, Nicolette suggested a few products during our trial sess that she has used in the past that she found really worked. She wasn't pushy, it was totally informative. Then came the makeup application. We chatted about the look I was going for and she went to work, explaining what she was doing and using. She is a master at her craft, and if something wasn't quite the way she wanted, she explained to me how she was building the effect (I wanted super bold eyes). She knocked it out of the park. I felt AMAZING. My skin looked so bright, so dramatic, and absolutely bridal!! I went out with my family and my fiance afterwards and he was floored. He actually started to tear up at one point because he was so excited for the big day, and couldn't wait to see me in my full look! The makeup held up all day/night and I was heartbroken to wash it off. I cannot wait for my wedding next month, this is one aspect of the big day I am not worried about in the least!! read more
