I had a pleasure to work with Niki at the refugee charity fashion show. I was lucky to be one of her 3 models showcasing her face painting skills. Her communication prior the event was brilliant. She sent me some ideas over and let me choose the one I liked the most. Niki is absolutely lovely to work with and I was truly amazed with the work she did on me and other models. Very skilled and talented. The look she created was fantastic! I wish we lived closer to each other, so we can get involved in more project together. X

Wow what can I say about Nikis makeup?!

She did 3 complete looks for the fashion show and was so accomodating to changes that happened before the show. Allowing me to use her make up models in my catwalk. Niki incorporated the style and colours of my latex garments I produced into her makeups and they all looked amazing! I was very grateful we could collaborate at the fashion show.

Looking forward to more collaborations and seeing some photos of the event!

Fantastic Make-up artist and creative... Great communication before the shoot and she worked quickly and carefully! Very personable and fun to work with! We got some beautiful images I am really happy with! Definitely recommend Niki very highly. I think that with her ambition and determination and creativity she will go really far. Look forward to hopefully working together again soon! :-)

I had the great pleasure of working with this young lady for the 2nd time in the space of a week.

This shoot was for a project i had been planning for a long time, so needed someone who's work i could rely on.

I gave Niki a brief as to the style I wanted, and then left it up to her to come up with something suitable for the style/theme of the shoot. She certainly didn't dissapoint. I loved what she came up with.

But her skills didn't end there. She got 'stuck in' with the model's preparation, which took around 4 hours to complete and also came up with ideas and suggestions as the preparation continued.

Just as the first time we worked together, I found Niki easy to get along with, and an absolute gem to work with.

Highly recommended

I had the great pleasure of meeting and working with this young lady for the first time today.

We were both working with a model who put up a casting for a Mermaid shoot, so Niki did the makeup (And a great job of it to), whist i did the photography.

Right from the off, the conversation just flowed, and we all just got straight into the shoot.

I loved Niki's attention to detail. As we were shooting, she would jump in to sort something out with the models costume or makeup if required, which meant that this was an area i didn't need to worry about as much as i usually would.

I'm glad to say that she is providing the makeup for a shoot I have next week, and i'm looking forward to having the opportunity of working with her again.

Great work all round, and highly recommended :)

Met the lovely Niki today and was privileged to have her apply my face and body paint for a creative mermaid shoot. She was punctual, creative, fun, friendly, professional and her work is top rate and impressive. She also contributed lots of great ideas and help with getting the most from poses. She was a joy to work with and I'd definitely recommend her!

I was painted by Niki last week for a full day body paint shoot (working duo with Darren S) for Sean Munro. She is a lovely friendly artist, and very professional to work with. She was on time to the shoot despite travelling up to Bucks from Brighton, which is impressive. She painted us both carefully and it came out exactly as we had hoped (metallic silver and gold all over), and she kept touching the paint up throughout the day when Darren and I kept wiping holes in her work! I heartily recommend working with her, you wont be sorry!

Worked with Niki for the first time after a recommendation from a model on the PP site. Pre comms before the shoot were second to none and her advice with what was needed for the shoot was invaluable as it involved body painting which I had not worked on before.

Niki turned up early and straight away I found her to be very friendly and chatty. I showed her a mood board and she seemed very eager to make sure we got the right results when it came to the body painting.

Nike got to work straight away when the models were ready and when the painting was finished it was clear to see that she knew her stuff. The models looked exactly how I visioned and the effect on the final images was awesome.

Niki kept an eye open during the shoot and jumped into action every time she saw a touch up was needed with no direction from me needed. very impressive!

If you need a good body painter this is the one you need! 100% recommended!

Well done and thank you Niki! 10/10

I worked with Nikki recently, she painted me all in gold paint which made me look a bit like C3PO off Star Wars :-)

Nikki was a pleasure to work with and on hand to touch up the paint on areas. Nikki also has a great sense of humour, which always adds a great atmosphere to a shoot.

I highly recommend this lady :-)
