✨ FROM MAKEUP STRESS… TO MAKEUP JOY ✨
Reviews like this are exactly why I LOVE teaching. 🥹💕
The lovely Georgie came to me ahead of her wedding for a bespoke 4-week makeup course, with one goal — to really learn how to do her own makeup, understand what worked for her and feel confident creating beautiful looks herself.
And THIS review afterwards… 😭✨
To hear that she’s now getting so many compliments that people think her makeup has been professionally done is just AMAZING! But my favourite part?
“She’s turned it from a stress into a joy!”
That right there is what my lessons are all about. 💗
With over 20 years in the makeup industry and experience as both a professional artist and educator, my lessons aren’t about copying one look and sending you home. I want you to understand YOUR face, YOUR products and YOUR makeup.
💄 Bespoke 1:1 makeup lessons
✨ Multi-week personalised courses
👰 Pre-wedding makeup courses
💋 Beginners through to more advanced techniques
🛍️ Product & brush guidance
🥰 Relaxed, friendly, completely judgement-free tuition
Whether you’ve worn makeup for years but never quite mastered it, you’ve lost confidence, your skin or features have changed, or you simply want to finally learn how to make your makeup work for YOU 👍 we can create a lesson or course around exactly what you want to achieve.
Georgie, you were an absolute joy to teach and I’m SO proud of how far you came in those four weeks. Thank you for trusting me and for leaving such a gorgeous review. 🥹💕

A little later than planned sharing this one… it’s been another whirlwind week with an incredible FOUR weddings, but this beautiful morning was far too special not to share. 🤍✨
Huge congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Johns! 💍
We had the absolute pleasure of spending Laura’s wedding morning at home in Glasgow, creating her dream bridal hair and makeup before making her way to one of my all-time favourite venues, the breathtaking Coats in Paisley.
What made this wedding even more special was discovering that this wasn’t actually my first time glamming this lovely group. Back in 2013, when I was just starting out on my bridal journey, I had the honour of doing Laura’s bridesmaids makeup for her maid of honour, Stacey’s, wedding. Thirteen years later, here we are again, sharing another unforgettable wedding morning together. Moments like these truly mean the world to me and remind me just how privileged I am to be part of so many families’ most treasured memories. 🥹🤍
Laura, thank you for trusting me once again. It was an absolute joy to pamper you, share in all the excitement and help you feel your most beautiful as you became Mrs Johns.
Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, happiness and endless wonderful adventures together. Thank you for letting me be part of another chapter in your family’s story.
Congratulations once again, Mr & Mrs Johns! 🥂✨

✨ Congratulations Mr & Mrs Allison! ✨🤍
✨ The journey to our luxury wedding venues is a reel in itself… ✨🚗🤍
From travelling through Scotland’s beautiful countryside, to an overnight stay before an early start, every wedding begins long before the first makeup brush is picked up.
This time, our journey took us to the breathtaking Cornhill Castle, where we had the absolute pleasure of spending the morning with the beautiful Kayleigh and her wonderful bridal party before she became Mrs Allison. 🥂💍
Wedding mornings are never just about hair and makeup. They’re about creating a calm atmosphere, sharing laughter, easing those pre-ceremony nerves, making memories and helping every member of the bridal party feel like the very best version of themselves.
It was a true team effort from start to finish, and I’m so proud of everyone for coming together to create a beautiful morning for our bride. 💕
A huge congratulations to Mr & Mrs Allison. Thank you for trusting Nik Makeup Artist to be part of such an unforgettable day. We wish you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness and wonderful adventures together. 🤍✨

What a beautiful review to wake up to after such a wonderfully busy weekend. 🥹🤍
After travelling across Scotland, leading my amazing team, working in stunning castles, going back to my home turf in glenburn, creating creative makeup looks and having the privilege of making up over 13 beautiful faces, messages like this make every early start and every mile so worthwhile.
Knowing my bride absolutely loved her makeup and that it stayed flawless all day, even on one of the warmest days of the year, is exactly why I pour my heart into every single client.
Thank you so much for trusting me with such a special part of your day. Reviews like these truly keep me going. 🫶✨

Today I hung up my bridal bag….😜🤪👀
🧜🏽♀️🌊✨ Back where the magic happens… and what a transformation this was! ✨🌊🫧
Two years ago, this lovely client Stephanie trusted me to create her vibrant rainbow birthday look… and today she returned with an even more magical vision. 🥹💙
This time, she wanted to become a beautiful siren for an event at Paisley Town Hall, and I couldn’t wait to bring her idea to life. From shimmering ocean skin and iridescent scales to sparkling details and a crown fit for the sea, every part of this look was designed especially for her. 👑🐚🪸
One of my favourite parts of the morning was being able to bring the salon experience to her. As she’s a wheelchair user, we created this entire look from the comfort of her favourite chair in her living room. 💙 Even her wheelchair has been beautifully decorated to continue the underwater theme, and I honestly can’t wait to see the finished photographs from the event! 🌊✨
Thank you for trusting me once again with your vision. It’s clients like you who remind me just how creative and rewarding this job really is. What a brilliant morning we had together! 🥹🩵🫧

Congratulations to the brand new Mr & Mrs Bell! 🤍✨
What a privilege it has been to spend the morning at The Mill & Brae in Glenburn, helping this beautiful bride and her bridal party get ready for one of the most important days of their lives.
Today’s wedding feels extra special for me. Glenburn is where I grew up, so returning here to do what I love always brings back so many wonderful memories. Even more special was getting to pamper old childhood friends on such a meaningful day. Moments like these remind me just how lucky I am to call this my job.
From the luxury skincare prep and calming wedding morning atmosphere to the final finishing touches, every moment has will be filled with excitement, laughter and so much love.
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, endless adventures and memories you’ll treasure forever. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your beautiful love story.
Congratulations, Mr & Mrs Bell! Enjoy every single second of your magical day. 🤍🥂

Lets finish off this fine Monday with my traditional of the prom princess that is Leah 💖💖✨✨✨ she deserves the celebration and so missed as my assistant and valued team member 💪💖 happy 18th birthday my love and go smash uni, meet your Prince Charming and book well in advance for your wedding 🤣✨💖🤩👀💃😎 # #

Some transformations are about so much more than hair and makeup… they’re about confidence, connection and creating memories that last forever. 🤍
After sharing Leah’s reaction, I was completely overwhelmed by the love it received. So many of you messaged asking for the same hair and makeup and wanted to see more of her journey, so here it is… the full story from start to finish.
This reel begins with those breathtaking final moments at the beautiful Dalmeny Park before taking you right back to where it all began. From our catch-up chats, luxury skincare prep, hair styling and makeup application, to watching Leah transform into the most beautiful Prom Princess.
Then comes my favourite part…
The moment she looks in the mirror and says, “OMG… thank you so much!” 🥹
Make sure you watch right until the very end for her full reaction… when she tells me, “You’re magic!” I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing those words. They genuinely mean the world.
One of the most special moments for me was during the appointment when Leah said she could imagine her wedding morning with me there one day. Those are the moments I never take for granted. To be trusted for such important milestones in someone’s life is the biggest privilege, and it’s why I pour my heart into every single appointment.
It’s never just about creating beautiful hair and makeup. It’s about making you feel relaxed, cared for, confident and like the very best version of yourself.
Thank you, Leah, for trusting me with such a special day. I have a feeling this won’t be the last chapter in your beauty journey… and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. ✨
