Frequently asked questions

Booking a professional makeup artist is not only important but one of the best investments you can make for any occasion- especially your wedding day! When you hire a MUA, not only are you paying for your service but for our experience, education, knowledge and for the products used. As a professional MUA, we make sure to stay on schedule for the day, applying the right products that cater to everyones individual skin needs and most importantly, make your day stress free! This is time to relax with your wedding party and enjoy getting glammed together!

NMB Makeup Artistry covers all areas in CNY. Travel fees may apply. The cost will vary depending on distance and on location parking fees are not included and must be covered by client.

As of right now, I am no longer taking destination weddings.

Typically the best time to book for your wedding day would be around 9 months prior- however, the sooner the better! I tend to book up to a year or more in advance. The months in my calender that tend to book up first are June-October.

Please send an email (you can click on the 'Contact' menu link) or you can send a Facebook message. Email: makeupbynicolesyr@yahoo.com PLEASE NOTE: A signed contract is **REQUIRED** in order to reserve your date, otherwise there is a risk of someone else taking that date. This is why it is important to return the contract asap!

A trial is highly recommended. This ensures you have the perfect look for your wedding day! This also provides the opportunity for the artist and client to collaborate and share ideas on any improvements and/or changes pertaining to the bridal look for the wedding day. Pictures of inspirational looks are also very helpful! I recommend having a trial within a couple of months of your wedding when you have the best idea of what you are picturing yourself as. **Please note: if you want a trial done prior to signing a contract that is no problem however, a trial does not hold your date.

*Please let the artist know if you are allergic to any products *Come with a clean, makeup free face *You may bring pictures of inspiration *Trial will take approximately 1 hour

Previews do not hold dates, so while you may book a trial, it is not guaranteed I will still be available for your date.

No worries! Since Nicole only takes on one wedding per day, you are able to add more persons as long as time allows up until the day of. However, during the busy wedding months of May through October, there is a minimum of 5 people on Fridays and Saturdays or the price equivalent ($515).

I exclusively use traditional (cream/liquid) products that are specifically formulated for longevity and your specific skin type.

Yes- as long as time allows! There is a minimum of 5 required to book your wedding day with a max of 8 persons I am able to do alone. Any additional will require an additional artist.

I never rush to leave- if you're interested in having me stay for photos or have me on hand after the first tears, although not necessary, additional touch ups is $50/hour (for this- it has to be known to the artist at least a month in advance). Heres a couple of tips: *Have your favorite lipstick or lipgloss on hand *Tap any tears. Dont wipe!

Acne, scarring, discoloration, redness, fine lines, wrinkles, etc are all normal. It's part of my job to have the correct products in order to address those concerns and make your skin look its best. When it comes to weddings, I always recommend starting a good skin care regimen and/or getting regular facials 6 months from the date. Hydrofacials and dermaplanning are two that I always recommend. While I like to think of myself as a magician, good skin care will allow makeup to look best on your skin.

NO! You're paying me to come to you, as a professional MUA, I will have everything I need to complete your look.

Yes. I have a few artists who I have worked with and trust to reach out to. The fee is their travel which will be quoted depending on distance/location.

There is no price adjustment if no lashes are desired. I do have a variety of different styles though that vary from natural, wispy or super glam.
