We all have awesome hair and makeup days (once in a while), but we all have days where one look in the mirror can send us into a fetal position under a pile of blankets in bed. DO NOT attempt to fix that hot mess on your wedding day or other special occasion!

Nicole Palermo is hands-down the BEST makeup artist I have ever worked with, both personally and professionally. I was lucky enough to find her as I was planning my wedding, and the minute we met, I couldn’t help but adore her! Her enthusiasm and desire to make your dreams come true is positively contagious. I brought her an eyeshadow color that I wanted to use, told her the general idea I had, and she brought it all to life in a way that took my breath away. Since my wedding day, I have done two more shoots with her, and she brings the same creativity and passion to each one.

Nicole is a multi-talented phenomenon. In addition to creating makeup magic, she has developed her own beauty products, she styles boudoir and other photo shoots, and she organizes fun “martini & makeup” parties for her clients. Guys, if you don’t know what “boudoir” means, you’ll want to find out so that you can buy a package for your special someone. Trust me. Ladies, if you haven’t done it already, you’ll want to sign up ASAP. We all need awesome pictures to look back on and sigh about how great we looked “way back when.”
