FRIDAY FAVE! Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour stick

I love how seamlessly and easily the Face Trace stick blends, the buildable colour and the natural finish.

Available in three shades Biscuit, Truffle and Ganache.  I use the lightest shade Biscuit on a lot of my clients for subtle contouring, sculpting and defining features to perfection.

Easy application - simply trace your features with the stick under the cheekbones, jawline, sides of the nose and hairline. Blend out with a brush to soften the colour for a natural finish.

The creamy formula is hydrating and nourishing (Vit C & E) and the shades suit all skin tones. It also contains Kaolin clay to absorb excess oils.

I love the sleek packaging too!

RRP. £44.00

FRIDAY FAVE! REVLON ULTRA HD SNAP! NAIL POLISH

Well I absolutely love this nail polish.  Revlon have outdone themselves with this one! 

I have been wearing this colour (no .31) all summer long, it is such a great shade.

The product applies easily with a nicely designed ergonomic cap to hold and gives a professional long lasting hi-gloss finish that dries quickly too.

A definitely Friday Fave for anyone who actually still paints their nails like I do!  

The colour is opaque and looks good with just one coat however I do still like two apply two layers.  You can also apply this without the need for top and base coats. I do still prefer to do this but maybe out of habit!

These are also clean 100% Vegan nail polish that are made with over 78% natural ingredients and without a lot of controversial ingredients found in some other nail polishes. 

Available in 17 shades, the shade I wear is called 'She's on Fire' no 31.

RPP. £17.99

November Update!

I began November on a nice little weekend away in Norfolk, I love it there. It was very chilly and not the brightest of weather but good food and company made for a very nice weekend away.


























I recently spent a lovely afternoon working at Camelot pampering the ladies ahead of their Christmas party. I have glammed a few ladies at my studio recently too ahead of festive fun but I always forget to take photos, must try harder!












My makeup workshops have been so enjoyable, thank you so much to those of you who have attended! I am hoping to do lots more of these in 2024 so do check social media and my website for updates! These are really fun and relaxed in small groups of 4-5 and include fizz, nibbles and a goody bag.


























Some really varied hairstyling lately, it is easier to take photos of hair than makeup I find.  I always seem to forget by the time the makeup is finished but I will make a conscious effort going forward :)


































































I just did a Lino printing workshop last week and made some lovely festive cards. Check out https://www.rocknwoolcreations.co.uk she has some great crafty fun to get involved with.










I also made two Christmas puddings, the Christmas cake is on this week's to do list! So a fun filled November that actually went very quickly which is great as I hate this cold, dark time of year. Christmas is the only good thing about winter as far as I'm concerned, roll on Spring!










I aim to post my December update before the Christmas holidays! I have written it in black and white now so no going back! Until then hope you enjoy the December festivities.










I have just launched gift cards in time for Christmas these are available to purchase directly on my website. They can used against all makeup and hair services including lessons, workshops, bridal & special occasion.  If you are looking for a different gift this year for a loved one do check out my website www.nikimakeup.co.uk

January Update!

January blues anyone? I have not enjoyed recent weeks ...roll on Spring! I am definitely a summer person I hate this time of the year but at least I have had lots of beautiful new brides to meet for pre-wedding trials ahead of the spring summer wedding season!

I was also a Hitched Awards winner for the second year running which is a great start to 2023!












Here are some of the Brides I have met recently for hair and makeup trials.















I also had my first wedding of the year on 7th January at Luton Hoo Hotel where I am the recommended Hair & Makeup Artist.

Elegant Hair and makeup for beautiful Jayne.




I still have some availability for 2023 and I am also taking bookings for 2024.
