MEET NICOLE
THE ARTIST BEHIND NICOLE FORBES MAKEUP
I’m Nicole a professional makeup artist with over a decade of experience, specialising in luxury bridal makeup and elevated event beauty.
My signature style is polished, radiant and timeless. I love creating beautifully perfected skin, soft definition and refined glamour that still allows you to feel completely like yourself just elevated. For me, bridal makeup has never been about simply applying makeup. It’s about how you feel in those incredibly special hours before you walk down the aisle.
I’ve spent more than 10 years working with brides and clients, refining not only my artistry but the entire experience surrounding it. From your initial enquiry and bridal preview through to your wedding morning, every detail is thoughtfully considered so you feel supported, relaxed and completely taken care of.
My approach is calm, organised and highly personalised. I take the time to understand your features, personal style, gown, wedding aesthetic and how you want to feel on your day creating a look that photographs beautifully, lasts throughout the celebrations and feels unmistakably you.
MORE THAN MAKEUP
Your wedding morning becomes part of the memories you keep forever. I believe your makeup artist should bring more than beautiful artistry into that space. She should bring calm, professionalism, experience and an energy that allows you to simply enjoy the moment.
My brides can expect a considered luxury experience from beginning to end thoughtful communication, detailed planning, personalised recommendations and an organised wedding-day timeline designed to make the morning flow effortlessly.
Because beautiful makeup matters.
But so does the way you felt while sitting in the chair.
MY SIGNATURE APPROACH
Refined. Radiant. Timeless.
I specialise in soft glam through to elevated full glam, with a strong focus on beautifully prepared skin, seamless complexion work and makeup that enhances rather than overwhelms your natural features. Every face is different, which is exactly how it should be.
There is no one bridal look that I simply recreate. Your makeup is individually designed around you, giving you the confidence to look back at your wedding photographs years from now and still love exactly how you looked.
GET TO KNOW ME
When I’m not holding a makeup brush, you’ll usually find me with a coffee in hand, out for a walk or soaking up the beautiful Sunshine Coast lifestyle. I’m also a very proud mum to my gorgeous boys, Chase & Oakley and family is such an important part of my world.
I’ve loved makeup, beauty & fashion for as long as I can remember. What began as a childhood obsession eventually became a career that has allowed me to be part of some of the most meaningful moments in people’s lives. And even after more than a decade in the industry, wedding mornings are still some of my favourite days to be a part of the gowns, the florals, the anticipation, the emotion and all of those tiny moments happening before “I do.”
It is such a privilege to be invited into that space.
YOUR BRIDAL EXPERIENCE
If you’re looking for an artist who will understand your vision, guide you through the process and create an elevated beauty experience from enquiry through to your wedding morning, I would love to be part of your day.
