Nichelle’s gift of creating and recreating her clients through makeup was looked upon as a hobby for her in her earlier years saying, “Making faces was my hobby because I’ve always enjoyed making people feel good about themselves and I enjoy giving them a different perspective of their beauty.” Nichelle’s “hobby” soon became her passion in August 2000 when she displayed her “artwork” at a close friend’s wedding. Ultimately sparking a number of inquiries and “when can you do me’s?” Nichelle decided to look at makeup artistry as just that—ART; and pursued a career in enhancing what is already beautiful into that much more. Nichelle has since acquired a color expertise that spans all areas of the makeup/fashion industry. Currently, she has gone on to work on numerous photo shoots, model calendars, weddings, and special events. She has also coordinated hair and makeup on the set of magazine shoots. Holding true to date, Nichelle especially enjoys doing weddings, citing “that’s where I humbly begin this incredible journey”.
