About The Nicole J Smith MAKEUP

The Nicole J Smith MAKEUP

MAKEUP ARTIST

Nicole has been working as a Makeup Artist for over 10 years with her work appearing on national pageant stages, in ad campaigns, magazines and on TV. Nicole's makeup style can easily be described as beautiful, timeless, and soft.

As a model, former Miss Arizona USA, and photographer, I have a very unique vantage point of knowing what it is like to be in the chair, in front of a big audience, and behind the camera which is useful when offering support and guidance to my clients.

SKIN PREP: - Please arrive with a clean face, moisturizer only - Eyebrows should be trimmed, tweezed, or shaped to your liking - I recommend Dermaplaning to remove peach fuzz from the face and custom facials to ensure your skin is hydrated and glowing - Professional spray tans are recommended - Lightly exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub to remove dead skin WHAT TO WEAR: - Please wear a top that has a loose/stretchy neck, or a zip up jacket so you can easily change without ruining your hair/makeup. - I ask that my clients wear white to their appointment so there is no interference with your skin tone and coloring.
I provide all the makeup and eyelashes for my clients. If you have a special allergy or product preference, then please feel free to bring your own products. If you have a style of lash that you prefer, you are welcome to bring them. This will not change the price of the session.
I require a 25% non-refundable retainer along with a signed Wedding Contract and a signed Agreement of Policies and Procedures. 25% down is required at the time of contract signing and the remaining 75% is to be paid on or before the wedding date listed on the contract. Deposits will go towards the remaining balance of services. Wedding dates are not reserved until the deposit has been paid and all required forms have been signed and received. For Wedding cancellations, a minimum 60 Day notice is required to avoid additional cancellation fees up to the full remaining balance agreed upon in this contract.
A trial run is not mandatory but highly recommended. This is an opportunity to go over expectations to ensure client satisfaction. Trials are an additional cost unless you have selected the option to include a trial. Trials do NOT guarantee or save the date of your wedding booking. Please be aware that your date may be booked before or after we do a trial, unless you have already made your deposit and signed a contract. If your date is booked before your trial run, I will inform you and cancel your appointment. Once you have had a trial run, it is up to the client to send in your contract and retainer to secure the wedding date.
No, I consider myself a specialty artist and prefer to give my attention towards creating beautiful, long lasting makeup looks. I am happy to refer my clients to several hair artists that I love and trust.

    A Truly Magical Makeup Experience!

    Booking Nicole was hands down one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. I actually met Nicole back in college, and I was absolutely thrilled when I was able to book her for my big day! From the very beginning, the process was completely seamless. She was incredibly accommodating when it came to setting up my makeup trial, making the whole experience stressfree. During the trial itself, she made sure to ask about every single detail of my vision and ensured I walked out of there with any and all of my questions completely answered. When it came to my actual makeup, Nicole executed my vision perfectly. I asked for a very light, natural look, and she delivered exactly that. She made me feel effortlessly beautiful while still looking completely like myself. Her work is so flawless that when we got our gallery back, the makeup photographed like an absolute dream our pictures seriously look like they could be featured in the pages of Vogue! She gave me that perfect, timeless glow I always dreamed of. But what really sets Nicole apart is what she brings to the entire wedding day experience. I ended up hiring her not just for my morning makeup, but for all-day touch-ups, and I cannot recommend this enough! She was such a calming, amazing presence to be around all day. Having her there meant that any second I needed a quick touch-up especially while we were out taking photos she was right there. She truly became like a friend I had by my side for the day who could do anything. She went completely above and beyond her duties as a makeup artist. She made sure I had water throughout the day, and she came prepared with every possible thing you could think of breath mints, hair clips, you name it, Nicole had it! When I came back after taking portraits, I found that Nicole had already packed my bag for me to head to the reception location. That is how much of a gem she is! Her professionalism is unmatched she even beat us to the second location and was already completely set up 20 minutes before we arrived because she is just that on top of it. During a few minutes of downtime, she even stepped in to quickly pin my dress. She is such a pro and takes so much pride and quality in her work. When I say she was a lifesaver, I truly mean it. She was such a positive, supportive energy to have around. If you want flawless, beautiful makeup and a professional who will be your ultimate hype-woman, helper, and calming force on your wedding day, you absolutely need to book Nicole. She is the best!

    The best makeup artist!!

    Nicole was one of the top highlights of my wedding day! She made everyone’s makeup dreams come true. I didn’t have a traditional bridal party but she helped my family and a close friend get ready for my big day (even including a couple last minute additions). I don’t live in Phoenix and she had great communication from scheduling my trial to day of arrival/schedule. She is so professional, fun & and easy to talk to, and truly has a skill for makeup application!! What I like the most is that she does what you agree upon/makes YOUR vision come true. My makeup stayed all day and she provided the best touch up kit that I used for photos throughout the day. She gives great advice for your own makeup and skincare regime, and I would absolutely hire her for any other formal event I do in Phoenix! 15/10 recommend.

    Nicole is amazing!

    Nicole did the makeup for my son’s wedding and she is phenomenal! First off she is a ray of sunshine, a warm and engaging person. She kept me well entertained with wonderful conversation and even gave me lash application tutorial when I told her I had no idea how to apply them. Of course she applied them but took the time to show me in the event I ever wanted to do it. The makeup was fabulous and I got so many compliments on it. She was quicker than I would have thought possible and the time flew! I highly recommend Nicole as she is professional, delightful, puts everyone at ease and our entire party loved her!

    The Sweetest & Best Makeup Artist Around!

    Working with Nicole was an absolute pleasure. From the moment I first spoke with Nicole, I could tell she was an easy to talk to, sweet person who was willing to travel to my wedding in California. The quality of her work was incredible - I absolutely loved my bridal makeup and appreciated being able to do a trial before the big day. Nicole was so accommodating, even doing the trial on the day of my bridal shower. On the wedding day, Nicole's calming presence and positivity helped me feel at ease, and she went above and beyond to help get me ready, working seamlessly with the other vendors to keep things running smoothly and on time. Nicole is incredibly talented and makes you feel like you've been friends forever. She listened closely to my makeup vision and executed it flawlessly, creating a look that lasted all night beautifully. I cannot recommend Nicole J Smith and her team highly enough!
