“Nicola came to my house to give me and my mum a makeup lesson as we wanted to know more about how we should be applying makeup and what products would be good for our skin. Nicola was incredibly helpful and friendly and her advice was great. I have just ordered a load of products as recommended by Nicola I was so pleased with the results.”
“Nicola came to my house and we spent a very pleasant couple of hours modernising my make up routine to fit my mature skin. She knows her stuff and I was very impressed that she uses a whole range of different make up brands from across the pricing spectrum to ensure the right products were used on my skin.
I would happily use her again”
“I’ve never been confident that I’m choosing the right make up and applying it correctly, and I have always felt intimated at the beauty counter. I wanted help creating a new routine and a natural, age-appropriate look that I could re-create on a daily basis. I’m really glad I called Nicola, she totally put me at ease, made lots of helpful product suggestions for my problem areas, answered all my questions, and made my skin look amazing!”
“I had a makeup lesson with Nicola, as I had lost my confidence with applying makeup and needed to update my technique as well as colour choices.
She really helped me find the natural look I wanted without feeling like I was wearing a mask! I cannot recommend her enough!
Thank you so much Nichola”
“Nicola arrived for my makeup lesson bang on time and was absolutely lovely. She shared lots of great tips with me and had the most amazing selection of makeup and brands so she could suggest both expensive and cheap alternatives. My makeup looked lovely at the end. She made up one side of my face and I did the other and with her help, they both looked great!”
“Absolutely loved my lesson with Nicola who was so helpful in showing me how to make the most of the makeup products she introduced me to.and I shall be buying several of them.
She is also such a nice person and I came away confident that I can look better!”
