Hi, I’m Nicola!

nicola redman makeup artist

For as long as I can remember I’ve always wanted to be a Make-Up Artist, so getting to do this as a job every day feels incredibly special. Being a part of your wedding morning is always an absolute honour, and I never take it for granted.

When I’m not creating bridal looks, I love to travel with my husband. It’s a running joke among family and friends that the first thing they ask us is, “So, where are you off to next?” I love experiencing new places, new cultures and, of course, cuisines! When I’m not travelling the world and exploring new places, I’m a real homebody. I’m lucky enough to live close to the sea in Devon so it’s all about daily beach walks, bouji coffee shops, nice restaurants, yoga and getting cosy on the sofa with a book or a good series.

After 13 years in the wedding industry, I’m often asked if I ever tire of working in weddings and the answer is - Absolutely not! Every wedding is so unique, each with its own style, dynamic and vibe. And of course, that moment when I hand you the make-up mirror and wait to see your reaction will never get old.

For me, it’s all about the emotions; the shared glance of love and excitement, singing that song with your bridesmaids, the moment you see yourself in the mirror for the first time in full bridal glam and the happy tears when your loved ones see you in your dress (don’t worry, I’ll be on hand with tissues reminding everyone - “Dab, don’t rub, girls!”)

If my vibe feels like the right fit for you, let’s chat - I’d love to be a part of your day!
