Nicole Glendinning

Makeup artist

My main approach to makeup is to listen to my clients and keep who they are in mind. Embracing their natural beauty and just polishing them up for that special event so they can be the very best version of themselves. Skincare has always been my passion and a huge part of what I do. The proper skincare can change both the persons skin and the overall appearance of their makeup. Whether it's going out for drinks with your friends or your big day, you deserve nothing less than to look and feel beautiful. There is something beautiful about everyone.
