Nisa is fantastic! She really listens to what you want, and her execution is flawless! She did two very different looks for me and I absolutely loved them both! Regardless of whether you want something natural or want something on the wild side, Nisa is your girl! And she is a quick worker which I appreciated.

As a local wedding planner, it is very important to me to find dependable vendors that can work with all different personalities and needs. That is why I love working with Nisa SO much! She has been in the industry for a long time and is amazing at what she does, plus has such a lovely and warm personality. I recommend her to all of my brides and anyone else needing a makeup artist!

We LOVED working with Nisa for my wedding. The make-up was natural and stunning and perfect. Since I don't wear much make up day to day, I wanted my wedding make up to be natural, so I felt like I looked like myself. Of course, I also wanted to it to be great in pictures...I loved it on the day and I love it the pictures. My mom and I also just loved having Nisa there helping us get ready the morning of. She's so expert and so lovely. We felt very lucky and grateful to have her.

When I hovered over 5-stars, Yelp told me this means, "Woohoo As good as it gets!" and man, is that accurate!
Nisa and Rachel,
Thank you both so much for helping me and the crew prepare for my wedding this past Saturday. It loved seeing my greatest friends' unique personalities reflect in their individual makeup looks. I can't tell you how happy it makes me feel to see the girls feeling extra pretty and wanting to flaunt their beautiful faces!
EVERYONE'S makeup lasted all night long, and they loved it the whole night through.
Thank you so much! 10/10 would have makeup

I had assumed that I was an expert at applying flattering makeup on my own face, since it's mine. Nisa put my assumptions to shame, and on 3 different occasions! Engagements, bridal portraits and my wedding day. She is a perfectionist, extremely punctual and fun, too. NOT an easy combination for a makeup artist! I will be a returning client while in Austin.

Wow! Nisa is an artist. She did my makeup for engagement pictures and the results were gorgeous! I usually don't wear makeup and when I do, I try to go for a very natural look. She did exactly that but took it to a level of pretty that was just awesome. My eyelashes were so pretty and I can't wait to see the pics. Can I go to her every weekend?! I will definitely go back to Nisa when I need my makeup done and wish I could take her to Mexico with me for the wedding in May!

Nisa did my wedding makeup for myself, mom and mother in law. Nisa is great at asking the right questions to get the look you want. And when you see her, you know you're in good hands!! She's natural and does natural, fresh looking makeup really well! And great eyebrows and eyes. I felt beautiful for my wedding day and she's so sweet she's just a pleasure to be around. If I have any other events in the Austin area I wouldn't hesitate to have her do my makeup again.

Nisa was an absolute joy to work with, and she did an AMAZING job on my wedding makeup in March. She was super friendly and professional. She made me feel really comfortable.
We had a trial run where she sat down with me, and we went over the game plan. I was instantly confident that it was a great fit.
On the day of my wedding, Nisa made me feel really relaxed. My makeup look was exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to see the pictures!
She also did the eye makeup for my bridesmaids and my mom, who all looked lovely! I would absolutely recommend Nisa for any type of makeup for a special

Nisa is professional, easy-going, kind, and truly gifted. She did my makeup for my engagement pictures and my wedding day - both great experiences! She made me feel absolutely amazing for both occasions and my makeup lasted all day/night. I still felt like myself which was important to me - the makeup didn't feel heavy and my lashes looked incredible :) I will absolutely use Nisa again in the future so of course I highly recommend her! Thank you, Nisa!

Nisa is the best! I never ever ever wear make-up, but I decided I wanted to for my wedding, hoping that I would look like a more radiant version of myself. Nisa totally made this happen. I even got to keep my freckles! I looked exactly like myself, just picture-perfect.
Nisa is a very down-to-earth, relaxed person, and extremely professional. She looked so beautiful and natural when I met her that I felt 100% right away, and she made me feel very comfortable. I looked great after tears, hugs, and 90% humidity!
Thank you so much!

Nisa is -- in a word -- incredible. She struck the balance I was looking for on my wedding day: where I still looked like myself, but the best version of myself. And she nailed it. I felt confident, natural, and, well, gorgeous. And really, who doesn't want that when everyone is looking at you?
Before the wedding, I had a hard time choosing from the two looks Nisa created for me in our trial. One was a more vintage/classic look with red lips and winged liner, while the other was a little more dramatic with a smokey eye and paler lip. It's a nice problem to have :)

Angela Baker did my makeup for my wedding and she did a phenomenal job! I loved how I looked, and got compliments all night. My makeup lasted the entire wedding/reception and looked perfect the whole time. My skin looked flawless, my eye makeup stood out so good in my pictures, without looking dramatic or overdone. Angela is so friendly, and sweet and super talented! I would definately recommend her to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist, for any occassion but especially for a wedding. She really takes her time and makes sure you are happy with her work. If you're in the market for an

Nisa is a very talented woman. I have worked with her and was grateful to be able to watch her do her magic! Every client is happy and even more beautiful than they came.
She knows how to flatter any face shape, eye shape, any thing that a client dislikes. She really is an artist! Thank you, Nisa, for helping people feel amazing!

Nisa is AMAZING! She did makeup for my bridal portraits and wedding. I was going for a dramatic glam vintage look and she achieved it to perfection without making me look too overdone. Her technique really makes your skin look flawless, but the makeup seems transparent so you don't have that caked-on foundation look. My makeup held up wonderfully throughout 4 hours of bridal portraits, and the whole night of the wedding. Plus, Nisa is very professional, punctual, and just a really cool person. I highly recommend Nisa Nicole Makeup Artistry!

I have booked Nisa three times -- for my bridal portraits, my wedding day (for myself, bridesmaids, and also my mom and my husband's mom), and an additional portrait session (not wedding related) -- and all three times I was thrilled with the results. I cannot say enough good things about her.
First, Nisa's work: She will bring out your natural and best features, and perfect any problem areas without a heavy, overdone look (another reviewer described it as "the best version of yourself" and that's completely accurate). In my bridal and wedding photographs, I saw myself

Nisa did my wedding makeup last month and she is excellent! The makeup was beautiful and not overdone. She gave me a very natural look that was exactly what I wanted. The colors she used made my eyes a thousand times bluer.
Nisa and her assistant Angela also did my mom's makeup and makeup for two of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked great and the makeup stayed on all day and night. Nisa and Angela are very professional, but will also make you feel relaxed. You can't go wrong with Nisa Nicole Makeup Artistry!

Nisa did my makeup for my bridal portraits, which was fantastic, so I was confident going into the big day that she knew how I wanted to look...fresh and not overdone. She took notes after the first session so she would remember all the right details. Both appointments she was punctual and professional and really listened to what I wanted.
One of my "secret' goals for my wedding day was that I wanted to look amazing, and I wanted my groom to be like, DAMN! She's gorgeous!, when he saw me for the first time. ;) Thanks to Nisa and her makeup skills, I got my wish!
