Worked with Niki and totally enjoyed the shoot, we were able to merger our ideas together, the work flow was excellent, the model that came with Niki had the perfect look for the shoot and was a very good canvas for Niki's work, both lovely girls, felt we all worked together really well, the model took direction well and i would def want to photograph her again. Highly recommend Niki, very professional and lovely lady to chat with and great with bouncing ideas back and forth. Look forward to working with Niki again, in fact already planning 2 more shoots very soon x

I worked with Niki on a charity shoot full body latex and makeup shoot and I was amazed at the quality and speed of her work. I have worked with a number of MUAs on similar styles shoots, and Niki produced high quality work from scratch (only using hand techniques and no air brushed etc) in half the time I have know other MUA's produce work. Before the shoot Niki was a great communicator and during the shoot she was jovial and pleasant. I cannot recommend Niki highly enough and hope to work with her in the not too distant future.

I was the modelling for Niki at her Endometriosis fundraiser. Comms were smooth and easy everything was laid back and planned well. I had a great time being painted by Niki. Such talent in such short of time and on the body I was blown away by the end result!

I would definitely recommend Niki as a mua and special fx mua, I look forward to seeing more avatar sea creatures!

Niki is a true gem! A real brillant MUA to have onboard for any shoot! She's so friendly and easy to get on with, professional and has all the equipment she needs. She does all her work to a high standard and i was thrilled with the final makeup and hair look for our first shoot together! Her pre-shoot communications were great and I can't wait for our next shoot together which is already booked! 100% recommended!

I recently worked with Niki on a fundraising evening for the amazing charity Endometriosis UK. I have worked with Niki before and it was great to work with her again. Her pre shoot – or pre event in this case comms are fab, and she did an amazing job organising everything. She is a super talented body painter, and turned me into a very convincing Zebra! It looked so fantastic and I always feel at ease working with Niki and she is just so easy to get along with and you know the results will always be fab. Def try to catch her when you can!

I worked with Niki last night on the latest of our shoots we've done together.

This time it was for the Endometriosis charity, and Niki was doing a 'live' bodypaint on a model (Katie_R on PP). She set herself the challenge of doing a full bodypaint of a zebra on Katie, and she did it.

A lot of people would say that doing such a shoot in such a short space of time would make the results look rubbish, but it's testament to Niki's skills that the finished work looked amazing.

This is why i will always work with Niki and can't recommend her highly enough A+++

After being in contact with Niki for a little while, we planed a concept we we're both very excited about. We got a great photographer involved and the images are amazing!

Niki pre coms we're great, sending moodboard images back and forth while bouncing off eachothers ideas. Niki arrived bang on time, despite feeling very unwell she preformed in a professional way bringing her A game to the table (what a tropper!) it was such a pleasure to work with Niki, her works stunning as well as being very friendly, punctual, talented, professional and funny. It was a great To work with Niki and hope to do so again very soon!

Thanks for shooting with me, highly recommend !! Book her now!!!

Turned up on a shoot where the model had booked Niki. She turned up on time which made all our jobs easier. I took images of the entire make up session for Niki's portfolio and she made the model look amazing and really changed my perception of mua's. From start to finish the process was floor less and Niki made the model look amazing for our autumn shoot. Niki even came out on the shoot to keep the make up perfect and did a fantastic job all the way through the shoot.

If you are looking for that specific look then contact Niki you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend.

Niki did my make for an autumn themed shoot - she is incredibly talented and also very easy to get along with. The result was simply stunning - the thought she put into bringing accessories as well was wonderful and really completed my look. I would highly recommend her and definitely would love to work with her again

Despite having a nightmare with her car and then the trains Niki still arrived for our shoot

She is a great person and we got on so well

I was more than impressed with her talents and hope we can collaborate on a shoot together again in the future x

Niki responded to a last minute casting call after a cancellation. She came over from Brighton and did a fantastic job of making the model up in a 1970's style - the makeup was excellent. Communications prior to the shoot were excellent. On the day Niki helped out with the shoot as well and we ended up with some great results as well as having had a fun day. I would highly recommend Niki.

Niki was amazing on the shoot I did with her. She is absolutely lovely and so easy to get on with, it is a complete pleasure working with such a great person and talented MUA. She also did fab work with my hair too and stayed on set the whole shoot to help out which was amazing. Niki’s portfolio is fab and shows off all her creativity – I would definitely recommend contacting her, and would love to collaborate again. :)

Niki is such a talent and a lovely lady - what more could you want?!

Niki and I worked together on a beauty shoot after I answered her casting call, she lined up a fantastic photographer and had awesome ideas about the look.

Her attention to detail and obvious talent showed from the moment Niki started to apply my makeup, we worked on a dark beauty look and chatted through out the process :) we also used materials such as liquid latex which I wasn't familiar with, great to work with an imaginative mua who also checks if you are OK with going all out - and I totally was :)

I would recommend Niki to anyone, she's just amazing 110% recommended, can't wait to shoot again!!

So happy to have worked with this young lady again today.

I've had the great pleasure of working with Niki on several occasions, and she is one of my 'turn-to' MUA's when i need a guaranteed standard of work.

Today was a bodypaint shoot that has been in the planning for some time. It was originally going to be based around a 'Great Britain' theme to co-inside with the olympics, but due to 2 cancellations by the model, we felt it was no longer the right idea to shoot. But being the pro that Niki is, she soon came up with an alternative idea which was based on 'pop art'. The shoot was carried out with a new model, and as always, i loved what Niki did.

Now looking to our next shoot together.

Highly recommended A+++

this is my first time I've worked with Niki and wow. Excellent pre-coms together so we knew what we were doing the moment we walked into the studio. I felt comfortable around Niki and able to trust her to turn my ideas into a master piece. I would highly recommend Niki to anyone, we had three different looks to get through and we made it with time to spare. Even while working so hard we still managed to have a good laugh. She's just wonderful and an experience you can't miss out on when working with her

I will definitely be working with her again. Highly recommended. :)

I had the opportunity to work with Niki on a recent fashion show. The group of models she worked on had superb looking creative makeup which accentuated the latex outfits the models wore.

Great ideas and lovely to work with, hopefully we will get another chance to work together.

Highly Recommended
