Allie Nicole
Professional Makeup Artist + Licensed Esthetician
Hi gorgeous!
My name is Allie, and I am a Portland based makeup artist and licensed esthetician. After getting a makeover at a MAC counter for my 15th birthday, I became enamored with the world of cosmetics and turned into the go-to gal for family and friends with any question about beauty. At age 18, after spending two semesters in my college’s stage makeup department, I shifted my career path to cosmetics and worked at various department store makeup counters before enrolling in an esthetician program the following year. One day, I was approached by a regular customer to do makeup for her wedding. Never having done a wedding before, I accepted the challenge and invested all of my savings into the beginnings of my professional makeup kit. Not only did everyone love their makeup, it sparked my love for being a part of such a special day in a person’s life, and helping them feel the most beautiful they’ve ever felt on a day that won’t be forgotten. Almost a decade into my career and countless brides later, I still find a way to love what I do a little more every time.
In recent years, makeup and brow trends have been a little all over the place. My promise to you is that no matter the current trends, our result will always be absolutely timeless. I also strive to use products that are safe for sensitive skin, do my best to find products and tools that are eco-friendly, and I am currently in the process of phasing out anything that is not considered vegan/cruelty free. My background in skincare and brow design allows me to help you in creating a flawless base that lasts long past your wedding day, and standards of sanitation will always be upheld to the highest degree.
