MEET NICOLA

Hello! I’m Nicola Johnson, an international hair and makeup artist currently based in Sydney, Australia. With over 21 years of experience, I’m proud to be one of Australia’s leading makeup artists and hair stylists, & a favourite for Sydney brides.

I combine my makeup & hair skills with extensive skin care knowledge to create modern, timeless bridal looks that last all day.

My signature style is natural, radiant makeup with an editorial touch—never too heavy, always enhancing your best features. I’ll work closely with you to design a look that feels authentically “you,” so you can feel polished and confident on your wedding day.

I’ve also curated an exceptional team of artists who share my aesthetic, ensuring that if I’m unavailable, a talented member of my team will be there to bring your vision to life.

In addition to bridal artistry, I have a thriving career in fashion and advertising, working on campaigns and with celebrities.

My work has been published in Elle, Grazia, Gritty Pretty, Cosmo, and The Australian Women’s Weekly, among others. My bridal work has also been featured in Vogue, OK!, Hooray!, Brides UK, Love My Dress, and The Lane bridal blog.

Natural bridal makeup

I'm obsessed with bridal makeup and love creating looks that make brides feel beautiful, confident, and true to themselves.

Many brides worry about looking unrecognizable on their wedding day or that their fiancé won’t see “them” through the makeup. I’m here to ease that concern—my goal is for you to feel like a perfectly polished version of yourself, whether you choose a natural look or something a bit more glamorous. Your chosen style will enhance your best features, bringing out a radiant, flawless, and authentic you.

I use specialized techniques to ensure your makeup is long-lasting and waterproof, so it looks stunning in photos and just as flawless up close. I also custom blend individual lashes tailored to your unique eye shape for that extra touch of elegance.

Bridal party

Your bridal party was chosen for a reason—they deserve to look fabulous! Each member, from bridesmaids and flower girls to the mother of the bride, receives the same star treatment as you. Every look is thoughtfully tailored to enhance their unique features and complement their individual skin tones. I’ll create bespoke hair and makeup styles for each bridesmaid, so they feel as radiant and confident as you do.

Custom-blended lashes, designed to suit various eye and face shapes, are included in every look. For the mothers of the bride, I craft fresh, modern styles with a light touch, using specialized techniques and products suited for mature skin. Delicate, fine lashes can also be applied for those who wear glasses, ensuring everyone feels their best.

    In addition to creating bridal looks for wedding days, I work in the fashion and advertising industry, collaborating on magazine shoots, television, and with celebrities. My portfolio includes bridal photo-shoots published in notable magazines such as OK!, Hooray!, and Bride, where I've worked alongside talented photographers and fashion stylists to inspire future brides with stunning bridal looks.

    As a celebrity and fashion makeup artist, my work has also appeared in publications like Elle, Gritty Pretty, Cosmo, and The Australian Women’s Weekly. You can explore my fashion and editorial work here.
