Nik Makeup Artist

Bespoke hair and makeup services in the comfort of your hotel room 👌✨💖👏🥳.

My stunning client Julie off to the wedding after her . So many beautiful pictures to share but went with these! Already booked in for another event so must have loved it as much as me ✨✨✨✨✨😍.

A little blast from the past today! 🤍✨

It was so lovely welcoming my old school friend Donna Markie from St Andrew’s Academy into the studio today for a full hair and makeup transformation before she headed off to a wedding in Dumfries.

There’s something so special about reconnecting after all these years, and even more special when I get to help someone feel their absolute best for a special occasion. 💄✨
We created a beautiful, glowing makeup look paired with soft, elegant hair that perfectly complemented her outfit and the celebrations ahead.

And how uncanny 😱🤪 I had also done Lorraine, the mother of the groom’s hair and makeup this morning for the very same wedding, completely unknown to us all!

Thank you for trusting me with your glam today, Donna. It was wonderful catching up and I hope you have the most amazing time at the wedding! 🤍

✨ Today’s Private Makeup Lesson ✨

This afternoon I had the pleasure of welcoming the lovely Ann and Eleanor into the studio for a bespoke Cruise Beauty Experience before they set sail on their upcoming adventure. 🚢💛

Many ladies tell me they don’t wear makeup and simply want to feel a little more polished, refreshed and confident without looking heavily made up.

That’s exactly what today’s lesson was all about.

Together we’ll explore simple skincare, easy makeup techniques, product recommendations and confidence-boosting tips specifically designed for mature skin, all tailored to their individual needs and lifestyle.

Every client receives a completely personalised experience and their own beauty guide to take away, making it easy to recreate their look long after they leave the studio.

I can’t wait to see their confidence grow and hear all about their cruise adventures! ✨

Have the most wonderful time Ann & Eleanor. Thank you for choosing me to be part of your preparations. 💚
