Nicole is amazing!! She is professional, sweet and an incredible makeup artist. She did makeup for four of us, and every single one of us has never felt more beautiful! Nicole was so positive and sweet it was really fun to have her there as part of the wedding preparations. I recommend her with my whole heart-you will not be disappointed!

Honestly, there is no other option than hiring Nicole in my eyes!! She has done my makeup for numerous weddings, so when I got engaged, she was the first vendor that I booked!! I have never felt prettier than when Nicole has done my makeup! She did 10 faces on our wedding day and each face looked unique and simply gorgeous!! Everyone loved her!! She also has an incredible calming way about her. It's impossible to get upset or worked up about anything when you are with her b/c she will just calm you down! She also did my makeup for our engagement photo session despite it being a super last minute request. I emailed her the day before my session and asked if she could do it. She squeezed me in and our photo session was gorgeous!! Nicole is THE BEST!!

I realy liked working with Nicole. She was flexible on the trial day and was great the day of. She bring her own chair for you to sit in. She stays around to do any last minute touch-up needed. If you are looking for a make-up person to listen to your needs she is the one for you.

Nicole was awesome! She has a great personality and she did an amazing job with my bridesmaids makeup on my wedding day (8/19/2011). She was easy to work with and she was not over priced at all. Everyone was very happy with her work. I highly recommend her if you need someone who is great with makeup application.

Nicole did such fabulous work! My wedding day make up looked absolutely perfect! She gave me the "tools" needed to refresh my make up, but I honestly didn't need to touch up anything, it lasted all night! She is an absolute blast, and has great talent. All of my 7 bridesmaids that had makeup done were all really, pleased (and they are all usually very skeptical of getting make up done). We all loved our make up! We highly recommend Nicole Palermo for make up!!!

Nicole is AMAZING!! She will make you feel so at ease and is such a positive and happy person. I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and Nicole is the one to thank for that. My makeup never budged in fact I even slept in it and my makeup was almost perfect when I landed in Jamaica the next morning! One of my bridesmaids is getting married soon and as soon as she saw my makeup she was convinced she needed Nicole for her wedding too! Book her in advance because she books up fast! It will be the best decision you will ever make! Thank you Nicole for making me feel so beautiful!! <3

Nicole is amazing!! She is talented and very professional. She made my girls and I look amazing for my wedding. I can't wait to be able to use her again. She is the perfect person you want with you on your special day, she is calming and alot of fun!!!

Nicole.is.AMAZING. I met her a little over a year ago at one of my very good friends' weddings and I am so glad I did! I was a bridesmaid and she was doing our makeup. I love makeup and I was SO excited to have someone like Nicole to make us all look awesome. When I got engaged, I made sure to scoop her up right away! On my wedding day, Nicole fit right in. Not only is she an amazing talent, but a beautiful person as well. She is fun, caring and free spirited. She made me feel more beautiful that day than I have ever felt in my life. I know I don't only speak for myself, I speak for all of my bridesmaids and my Mom...Oh my God, my Mom....people are still commenting on how amazing she looked. Nicole is SO incredibly talented and wonderful and I love her for the person that she is. I can't thank her enough for being there on my wedding day, to laugh with us, joke with us, gossip with us, etc etc, etc. Believe me when I say she is the BEST, she really is! I am so thrilled that she could be there on the best day I've ever had. If you book her, you certainly will not be disappointed, I promise you. Thank you SO much again Nicole. <3

I had such a great time working with Nicole. She was a joy when I met her for my make up trial and was really looking for my own personal style. She was friendly and energetic and genuin in wanting to know about the upcoming wedding. She is well-connected in the Hair/Make-up industry so very familiar with hair artists and venues in the area. She was such a breath of fresh air the day of the wedding. Loved having her part of my day!

I cannot say enough about Nicole and how fantastic it was to work with her for my wedding! Nicole came highly recommended from a few friends, and was one of the best decisions that I made during the planning process. She is incredibly talented and made me (and all of my girls) feel absolutely beautiful for the big day!!! We were all interested in a natural, enhanced, look, and Nicole knocked it out of the park. Not only is Nicole wonderful at what she does, she is such a warm and energetic person, which made the day incredibly fun! Additionally, I used Nicole's recommendation for a hair stylist, Ella, who was also fantastic and a pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend both Nicole and Ella if you want to feel like the best version of yourself for your wedding.

I met this lovely lady about 4 years ago. She has done approximately 6 weddings I have been involved in. Most recently my sisters wedding on 11/28/10. And each time she has worked her magic! She is so kind and talented. She listens with her heart and she makes each person from the bride to the grandmothers feel special and so beautiful. She is calming, professional and so fun to be with. She makes your special day, so much more special. I consider her one of my friends and I admire her beautiful spirit! PS: Your eyelashes will never look more beautiful!

Nicole was wonderful! Everyones makeup was beautiful. She arrived on time and is so fun and relaxed it makes you stop worrying about anything!

Nicole is one of the most talented and caring makeup artists that I've ever met. Not only did she work with me on the price, she gives her customers so much for their money. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup, she made me feel so comfortable by really listening to my concerns and paying attention to what I wanted. At my trial, I pretty much told her that I was willing to try anything... well, as soon as I said that, I became pretty nervous. Little did I know, Nicole did any AMAZING job and I completely loved how my makeup turned out. On the day of my wedding, Nicole came at the crack of dawn with a great attitude. My makeup stayed on all day long and the false eyelashes looked so nice! I could not have asked for anything more in a makeup artist! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and talented makeup artist! Thanks, Nicole! :)

Nicole was another one of my favorite vendors (I feel like all my vendors were my favorite, I must have been really lucky!). Having her around on the wedding day was great- as another Nicole bride said, she is SO upbeat and bubbly, she really helps keep up the excitement. And when you start to get a little tense that things are running behind or things aren't going exactly as planned, she is there to say "I sense you're more tense right now, just relax!" As for her makeup services- she is truly an artista. She made me really the most beautiful version of myself. I look at the pictures and just loved my makeup, I'll probably never look that gorgeous again, but man, I just felt so pretty. And it lasted from 2 PM until the time we went to bed, after the after-party at 4 AM... it never faded! My mom looked like a whole new woman, I had never seen her so beautiful (she loved it!), and my grandmother, too. A few of my bridesmaids who weren't planning on getting made up actually changed their minds day-of because they loved Nicole's work so much. She works quickly, did 4 bridesmaids, MOB and GMOB, and the bride (me!) in about 2 hours? Maybe 2.5 hours? She is quick but very effective. Nicole can sell you some great products like finishing powder, spray and lip pencil and gloss- all of which items I still use on a daily basis. And I got an amazing face wash from her personal line of products which was worth every penny I paid. Thank you, Nicole, for being amazing!

Nicole Palermo is not only a talented makeup artist, but she is a wonderful human-being. She is bubbly, positive, and full of life. She has such a great sense of humor. I felt like I had known her for years after meeting her for the makeup trial. On my wedding day, she not only gave me a gorgeous face, but she did the makeup for 10 members of the wedding party, my mom, and my aunt all within a few hours...she never broke a sweat. AMAZING! Every single one us loved our makeup, and we weren't an easy crew. I have a multicultural family so she had to work with a huge of skin tones, and a significant range of ages from 9 to 60. She even stayed calm when my anxious hairdresser stole her makeup and started to powder my back! So if you couldn't tell, I highly recommend Nicole Palermo of Happily Ever After for all of your makeup needs on your wedding day...but make sure you book early! She books weddings sometimes a year or more in advance.

Nicole is amazing! She is so upbeat and bubbly! She made me look and feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! Very affordable and she comes to you! She even did a little make up for the three little girls that were at my house the day of the wedding and my grandmother! No one can beat Nicole when it comes to wedding day beauty!

Nicole is amazing!! I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life, and my make-up looked amazing all day and all night. She also did my mom's make-up, and it was the same wonderful story there! Nicole was so responsive leading up to my wedding and was just a ball of fun and energy the day of. She even gave my girls lashes for free! I would definitely, DEFINITELY recommend Nicole to anyone with a wedding or other special occasion. Your pictures will be beautiful! Nicole truly is an artist, and I thank my lucky stars that I found her for my wedding.

Nicole was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She arrived with her handy kit of make up and BOOM did her magic. We had a last minute change and ended up doing 5 girls in make-up instead of just 2 and it was no problem... we were all ready in plenty of time and we looked flawless. The eyelashes were amazing... she made me look like an absolute stunning queen... i felt amazing! I didn't have to touch up all night and it made it super easy because she came right to the house and got right to work! I love her!!!!

My mother and my fiancees' mother were both concerned that our wedding party's different skintones would be a problem for Nicole. That was not the case. She had makeup to fit all skintones and made everyone in my wedding party look beautiful.

I found Nicole through recommendations on the Knot. I hired her to do the makeup for my wedding in 2009 and couldn't have been happier. I am not one who regularly wears makeup and I was worried about it being over done, but Nicole understood exactly what I wanted and it came out looking amazing!! My trial was a wonderful experience I really learned a lot. She also works great under pressure. Due to the Baltimore marathon on the day of my wedding street closures downtown delayed everyone from getting to the prep area on time. I was worried there wouldn't be enough time to get everything done but Nicole was calm and cool and got everyone's makeup done with time to spare! She made me feel so beautiful for my wedding!! If you hire her you will not be disappointed.
