About Mimi Nikolova

Mimi Nikolova

Professional Makeup Artist

Hi! I'm Mimi Nikolova, a professional makeup artist based in Buffalo, NY, and I specialize in bridal and special occasion makeup. I work in HD, camera-ready technique, built to hold up under real flash photography and last through a full day of ceremony, photos, and celebration. Every bride starts with a trial, where I work through the details with you in person until the look feels right before your wedding itself. I also offer the Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial for skin prep, and private one-on-one makeup lessons if you want to learn your own routine. I run a women-owned local business serving Buffalo and the surrounding area.

Every look starts with a real trial where Mimi works through the details with you in person, not a rushed run-through the morning of. She specializes in HD, camera-ready technique built specifically for flash photography, and offers a few things not every local makeup artist does, including the Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial for skin prep and private lessons so brides can learn their own routine. It's a women-owned, one-artist Buffalo business, personal and hands-on from your first trial to your last touch-up on the wedding day.

I serve my amazing clients on site in Buffalo, NY and Western New York. I will travel anywhere throughout NY state to service clients, considering that mileage and travel expenses (and accommodation, if necessary) are covered.
​​Yes, I definitely recommend that all clients schedule a pre-wedding makeup session to share their expectations with me and test their wedding style. The preview session includes a conversation and makeover!
Yes, I will, nevertheless, you will be relieved that you actually need very little touching-up! For weddings and events, I will stay on site for an hourly rate, which includes any changes or new looks you may want. For other events like photoshoots, I always stay on the set during the shoot, unless there are other arrangements.
I use professional products suitable for high-definition photography and video. No, I don't do airbrushing, I only do traditional hand applied makeup. All my products and tools are kept clean, safe and hygienic. My tools are always cleaned after every use so you won't be sharing product with anyone else!
Absolutely, I offer strip and individual Flare/Single eyelashes with application that provides you with dazzling eyelashes that still look real. If you are looking to wear false eyelashes at your event my eyelashes and application are included in my pricing
Absolutely. It's expected to have plenty going on the day of your event. Just fill me in on your appointments (nails, hair, photos, etc...) and I will communicate with you any other vendor to make sure that your makeup service is seamless, smooth and hassle free.
When you choose me for your wedding you can be absolutely sure that your wedding will be covered. I have never once missed or had to cancel on one of my brides. In the highly unlikely event that I am unable to arrive or provide service, I have a well regarded network of artists that provide the same level of service. Over time we have established a fallback system for ourselves to be able to nimbly schedule or fill-in for one another if one of us can't make it to an event. We truly hope that we never need to use this, but our system is there, just in case.

    Great experience!

    I was in Buffalo, NY for a wedding and Mimi did my makeup. My makeup was flawless, exactly what I wanted and lasted all day. I will definitely recommend her, no doubt. Very professional and skilled. She also did an Intraceuticals infusion treatment that made my skin look amazing with the perfect glow from within. Must have for any special occasion or bride . So glad I did that especially, after my flight, my skin need it .

    Such a wonderful experience

    I had such a wonderful experience with Mimi!! Not only did she do an amazing job enhancing my features with flawless makeup application, but she also taught me how to do it with my own makeup and tools. Her expertise and attention to detail was impressive, and she explained techniques in a way that was easy to understand and replicate at home. I now feel so much more confident in my ability to create a polished day or evening look on my own. I highly recommend Mimi to anyone looking for both a beautiful makeup application, some great tips, and personalized guidance on using their own products!
