25.01.2022 Say cheese lovely lady! Branding photography is an incredibly important aspect of any business. Its purpose is to provide imagery that represents you as a business owner and as a brand. ... It gives you the ability to decide how you want to be seen and you can do it in your own skin, rockin your own look! Plus, it leaves your audience wanting more and gives them the ability to put a face to a name. I thoroughly enjoy using my hair and beauty expertise to work with amazing women in business and, have had the privilege of working with many successful women who have had their own spin on what they are after and what theyre comfortable with. No one woman is the same, so why should your hair or makeup be any different Have you had your branding photos done? If so, how did they go for you?

25.01.2022 Getting married and haven’t booked your hair and makeup artist? My bookings for 2021 are filling up fast, and I hate nothing more than having to say no to a bride. Why?... Because I know how much time and research goes into finding the perfect wedding vendors. So, the moral of the story: book as soon as you pick your date, and then that’s one less thing you have to worry about. Happy to answer any questions head to my DM’s x Photo: Lonely Hunter See more

24.01.2022 So lets talk about using cruelty-free or eco-friendly products For those of you who know me and/or have ever worked with me, will know that both matters are especially important to me. So much so, I have set myself a goal to have my professional makeup kit cruelty free by 2021. This is a long process (and slightly exy) but a totally worthwhile cause ... So, all products that I will recommend are cruelty-free and where possible toxin-free and eco-friendly. This means they are better for you and the environment particularly avoiding parabens and sulphates. Shopping cruelty-free can be super confusing with unclear labelling and it takes a little while to know what you are looking for, but once you get the gist of it, it becomes a whole lot easier. Its great to know that the products I buy have not been tested on animals and are earth-friendly Is this an important value to you too? Head to the link below to grab a FREE guide to all My Favourite Cruelty-Free Brands https://linktr.ee/Nikisimpsonhairandmakeup #nikisimpsonhairandmakeup #sydneyhmua #northshoremums #naturalmakeup #sydneymums



24.01.2022 #dareme Love me a bit of Salt N Pepa!

21.01.2022 Today in @mymakeupschool we talked all about foundations and how to really ace that base. I shared how to apply your foundation so it looks youthful, fresh and most importantly even! These are a couple of my favorite foundations, all cruelty free, give a natural result and are great for all my ladies over 35. Two also have SPF which is very necessary in the Australian sun and the cheapest anti aging product you can buy. @mykitco is also one of my fave brush brands... Tell me whats your holy grail foundation? See more

21.01.2022 Check out this stunner Doesn’t Mel look amazing! I love this look, very glam without being too overdone because there’s a fine line ladies! I always believe if you apply correctly, you don’t need to use heavy makeup. I find most of my clients don’t want their skin weighed down with mountains of makeup. They want good coverage without multitudes of product and that’s one technique I know VERY well ... Mel was part of 100 makeovers in 100 days which was a very special project I was part of with Donny Galella head to his Insta to see a video of her story Photo @jon.saad Dress GlamCorner Styling Assistants The Style Doctor George Taleb Haute Couture and @liviatassanyi See more

19.01.2022 Its S P R I N G time I always feel excited with the warmer weather heading our way. That means picnics in the park, wearing dresses, freshly made-up faces and (fingers crossed) the start of a busy wedding season!... It has been a big year for us all, and hopefully the warmer weather will bring more smiling faces Are you ready for Spring? #nikisimpsonhairandmakeup #mumfeels #makeupformums #sydneybusinesswomen #sydneyhmua #mumsinbusinessaustralia #mummymakeover #makeupforeveryone #northshoremums #makeupover40 #workathomemum #mumsinbiz



19.01.2022 So lovely to be back on the tools again this weekend! . Soft waves and half up for a gorgeous bride to be . This style works really well with extensions that can be purchased from me in a set of 10 pieces. This will give you loads more volume for that really thick full look you see on Pinterest... . I commonly get asked these questions - Is it real hair? Yes, remy human hair - Can I colour them? Yes you can to match your hair but to be honest usually picking one of the colours in your hair will blend beautifully - Do I need to cut them? Yes you need to book in with your hairdresser to get them cut for your hair length and style - How do they attach in the hair? There are clips on each weft which go in close to your scalp and then you can remove at the end of the day - Do they look real? Yes they are real hair and dont look fake at all if put in properly - they give a stunning result! . Message me if you want more info! See more

19.01.2022 What would you say if I told you that you could feel more confident just by spending a few minutes a day on yourself? . Think about it, when was the last time you committed to regular self care. We all know that this is essential to our wellbeing but so often it gets pushed down the list of priorities because we are doing things for others, or we are just too tired . Think about the last time you got your hair done. Did you walk in feeling a bit drab and leave feeling amazing... with those clean, bouncy fresh hair feels?! . Can you feel it now Im describing it?! . Just 5mins a day, 35 minutes a week? It isnt much is it, but it makes such a difference . Putting on a lipstick, using a lovely moisturiser or giving your face a quick massage can make a huge difference to how you feel . Just like having an organised wardrobe with easy mix and match pieces. An organised makeup bag and an easy skincare routine means you can build these little self care rituals into your day . It doesnt have to be hard, it doesnt have to be expensive and you dont need to work it out by yourself. . I want to help you and you too can get results! . Steph said being in the membership for just 3 months has made her feel excited about doing her makeup again and that spending a few minutes in the morning is really important to her confidence . Guys, your last chance to join us in @mymakeupschool is coming - just over 24 hours till doors close! . Go to www.nikisimpson.com.au/learn or message me if you need more info! See more

18.01.2022 Fake. Faux. Long. Tinted. You name it. I LOVE it Here is to a lovely *lashful* weekend, whatever you may be doing!... I will be spending my weekend seeing one of my lovely upcoming brides for her trial and hanging out with my family So tell me, what are you up to this weekend? #nikisimpsonhairandmakeup #mumfeels #makeupformums #sydneybusinesswomen #sydneyhmua #mumsinbusinessaustralia #mummymakeover #makeupforeveryone #northshoremums #makeupover40 #workathomemum #mumsinbiz #beautyover40

18.01.2022 MASCARA DRAMAS? SO many women ask me what mascara they should use! Its something most of us wear every day so we are all on a mission to find the perfect one that gives the right amount of volume, doesnt flake, is nice and black and above all doesnt lead to panda eyes.... Here you have a selection of my faves: 1. @kevynaucoin The Volume Mascara (my all time favourite and a tubing formula) 2. @marcjacobsbeauty Velvet Noir Major Volume (not tubing but ultra black and volumising and doesnt flake off) 3. @mirenessecosmetics Secret Weapon 24hr (doesnt flake and is a tubing formula) 4. @hourglasscosmetics Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara (tubing and gives lovely length and volume but does flake slightly on me by the end of the day - no panda eyes though) I probably prefer their Caution Extreme version however. So the reason I love a tubing formula is that it doesnt run or cause panda eyes but is gentle and comes off with water at the end of the day. If any flakes do come off (or you cry) the pieces can be easily brushed away rather than create a mess under the eyes or down your face I say waterproof mascaras should be used for when you are actually swimming as they are quite drying and can be hard to remove potentially doing damage to your lashes. So tell me whats your fave mascara and why? And if you need help PM me! #makeupformums #makeupover40 #nikisimpsonhairandmakeup #inmykit #nomorepandaeyes

16.01.2022 This weekend I attended a super inspiring online conference where I was reminded of this quote from Nelson Mandela Its something that really resonates with me at the moment having pivoted my business only a few months ago and now running effectively two different business models side by side Right now we are all going through many varied challenges, and what Im finding really inspirational is how many people I am seeing who have creatively surmounted these issues throu...gh innovating So to those who are struggling, try thinking of this mantra every time you start to feel overwhelmed

15.01.2022 I've been speaking to a lot of women recently and what's really apparent is how many women feel embarrassed because they don't wear makeup on a daily basis. This is for many reasons - it could be because they don't know how to do it or they don't have time or they choose not to. All of these reasons are completely valid and I wanted to show that I don't wear makeup daily either so I jumped on my stories to dispel the idea that 1) Because I'm a makeup artist I wear it daily ...and 2) I am ever judging your efforts to either wear or not wear it. What I really want to do is to empower women to feel great at any age and to love the skin they are in. The last thing I want is to make women feel embarrassed because they don't know what to do. I'd love for you to be able to put on your makeup for an event or a date night and feel confident doing it, to be able to walk into a store (or shop online) and know exactly what you need. If you struggle in this area I encourage you to reach out to me, as I can help. My business is and always will be a judgement-free zone!

14.01.2022 Ill let you in on a secret. Before & after shots are not really my favourite set of pics to share. Why? Well, it has always felt like Im saying look how average this person looked before, but then after I made them look amazing. Im also really big on promoting being comfortable in your own skin with a fresh, makeup free face... The thing is, I see these transformations first hand and how they make someone feel. I see that change from uncertainty and nervousness to a happy, confident woman who then stands in front of the camera and actually has a whole load of fun. I remember this shoot well with Jen from vividity photography by Jennifer Taylor, we photographed a fun mum and her two daughters and I loved that we chose a red lip and kept everything else paired back. Thats the key to using colour. Choose one feature to highlight and then keep everything else natural. Are you a red-lipped loving beauty? Or prefer natural tones? #nikisimpsonhairandmakeup #makeupformums #beautyisconfidence #makeupsydney #aussiesmallbusiness #freshmakeuplook #makeupforeveryone #beautyover40 #sydneymakeup #allaboutmakeup #makeupfavorites #maturemakeup #makeupfordays ##makeupcourses See more

14.01.2022 Uneven Foundation an issue for you One comment I hear on the regular is how to achieve even foundation when applying your base. Well ... Here is my simple fail proof routine to keep your foundation even every time + Always start with a clean canvas + Moisturise and prime your skin + To blend; always use a brush or blending sponge + Build-up in light layers don’t be heavy handed + Always work from the centre of the face outwards + Stipple/pat/bounce movements + Use a setting spray or powder Let me know below if this was helpful x The amazing skin of @tuyamaatuyamaa Photographer www.charlieoctavia.com Venue www.mullenstreetstudio.com.au See more

14.01.2022 Gosh, am I happy it is Friday and today certainly was a Fri-yay day! It was so much fun and the best day of my week! I filmed a little branding video and some testimonials for @mymakeupschool with two of my gorgeous members @stephaniejgrigg @theteenagedesigns and we had a ball! A few months ago I was chatting with Shannon @livingforstylesydney and she said she wanted to film a video for her business, I was also keen and we got the awesome @anneestebanproductions on board... Every day I ask my eldest after school pickup what was the best part of your day? So tell me what was the best part of your week? @ Avalon, New South Wales, Australia

13.01.2022 What is the most favourite part of my job? Thats a tough one as I love meeting new people just as much as my makeup! It could be the satisfaction I feel when I teach my clients how to accentuate their best features through the power of makeup ... And, since kicking off my online makeup school membership, I have been able to connect with some beautiful women who are now in-tune with their make-up routine and feel confident and excited to showcase their learnings on a daily basis. Regardless of your age, skin type or face shape, makeup should always be fun and leave you feeling good about yourself. Check out my makeup school for yourself & flick me a DM if you wish to discuss further!

13.01.2022 Gorgeous Dani I could have spent all afternoon chatting with this beautiful soul! We had so much in common, including that we grew up in the same suburb a few streets apart! Such an honour to be part of her official wedding ceremony day

12.01.2022 Au naturel I absolutely love the contrast between Shalane’s skin and hair. It’s a stunning combination. Nailing your natural look and having an easy ‘go-to’ style is something I hear from my mum clients.... I get told there just isn’t a lot of spare time in the morning, and any spare time that does exist is spent trying to find lost shoes and certainly not applying makeup I get that, because like you, I am a mum too. BUT what if I told you, you only need 5-7 mins to apply a few key products and you are good to go? How good would it be not to feel like you need to hide behind a pair of sunglasses? Check out my online My Makeup School (link in bio) where I will teach you how to master your everyday natural look effortlessly all whilst without the feeling of being overdone.

10.01.2022 Has your routine been the same since your 20s, even though your needs have changed over the years? Or maybe youve never really been interested in makeup until you hit your 30s or dare I say 40s (Im in the latter so you are in good company). I hear these same two comments when talking to women about their makeup pain points Every. Single. Day. ... And it makes me EXCITED! Why?

08.01.2022 Hello Lovely I thought I was a little overdue with a hello post. It’s been a little while since I have done one and with all the new followers to my page, it seemed like a great time to do it! This photo makes me giggle. This is me with my (not so little now) dog Maisie. This photo was taken a little while ago, not long after we got Maisie, at a photo shoot we did at home with my hubby and two girls. ... It was lots of fun with plenty of laughs but whilst I am smiling in this photo Maisie might have done something that did not smell particularly nice. As you can imagine it made it extremely hard for me to keep smiling!! Maybe they were right when they said never work with children or animals! Anyone else braved a family photo shoot with their dog?

06.01.2022 Welcome to Tuesday lovelies Look at Vivian’s gorgeous smile. This was taken in the Hunter Valley on her Wedding day ... She had beautiful clear skin which made it a dream when it came time to apply makeup. We wanted to go for a natural look, which she just adored! I occasionally get told that women are worried they will feel as though they have too much makeup on, which couldn’t be further from the truth when you work with me I always take into consideration firstly, what you want, and secondly your skin type. I then consider what kind of occasion it is, what you are wearing and if it is a day or night event. So, as you can see there are many different factors to consider before we even get started applying makeup! You will NEVER leave a session with me feeling like you have too much makeup on! It is my number one priority not to only have you feeling beautiful, but feeling comfortable too, especially in the skin you are in DM me for a chat I would love to hear from you. See more

05.01.2022 Overdue for some new branding photography I loved working with sisters Prue and Sarah from FLATOUTbear at their branding shoot Branding photography is super important as it showcases the humans behind a brand which in turn gives your audience a whole new level of relatability. ... Plus, why wouldn’t you want to get your hair and makeup done for the day !? I loved the décor in their office how cool is this green couch? Have you been thinking about locking in a branding shoot? You definitely need to book in with @paulabrennanphotographer next time she is in Sydney. See more

04.01.2022 Attention biz women! Have you got a recent headshot or is your profile/bio pic from a wedding you went to 10 years ago? If it is or it just doesnt look like you any more, then you need to get it updated. Its no longer an option, its essential that you can relate to your clients and customers with a shot that projects you and your personality. People do care about this stuff and they check you out before they contact you. If you are hiding behind words or an arty shot of y...ou looking away, how can they get a feel for whether they want to work with you? Jen at @vividity_personal_brand_photos is one of my favourite clients and a master of teaching you how to pose and bringing out what makes you, you! I hate having photos taken is no longer an excuse -trust me you will relax and actually have a lot of fun - and you will have me or one of her other amazing artists there to make you look and feel amazing. Jen also has stylists she can recommend to help you with the wardrobe side of things Tell me, how long is it since you had your photo taken? @ St Leonards, New South Wales

03.01.2022 Introducing MY WORLD My family is pretty much the heart and soul of what I do and just like you, I love spending quality time with them. However, it is not ALWAYS glamorous! I.E hair & makeup done! ... Just like you, I juggle a young family consisting of two young kids, a hubby, and are soon to be adding a puppy into the mix (eeek) On top of running a business (I wont lie) its tough, and at times feels rushed, chaotic, and messy. But I LOVE it! This photo is a little old now which is a good reminder to take some more! (watch this space) I feel as mothers we spend way more time behind the camera taking photos of our children and our other halves than being in them! Who else is like me and rarely in front of the camera?

03.01.2022 Love the look of concentration on my face and Emma trying not to blink I know when I'm doing your eyes, it can be super hard not to blink, especially if you have sensitivities or that nuisance reflex which starts the tears! I hear you & you’re not alone! ... But guess what? You can totally blink Yep, while I am doing your mascara you can blink normally. So, you need not worry about watering eyes ever again. I will also pull the wand away briefly and that’s your moment to get a few extra blinks in if you need to. If your eyes are deep-set I recommend you keep looking down to avoid that pesky mascara smudge on your upper lid. Hope that helps for next time you get your makeup done. Are you a blinker when applying mascara? See more

01.01.2022 Progress over perfection Is one of my favourite sayings. Another favourite is: Done is better than perfect As a solo business owner, I must remind myself of these things every day. ... When you wear all the hats and work in AND on your business, you cant possibly do everything all the time. Small steps forward every day and sometimes a step back to see the bigger picture, reassess then keep moving forward If youre like me you find it hard to be patient, and sometimes things simply don't play out as we had planned, and thats ok. Are you a mum in business like myself and sometimes need a reminder like the above?

01.01.2022 Weddings Probably one of the most fulfilling parts of my job. Cannot get enough of these special events where I am actively a part of the ‘creating memories’ process! ... Here I was playing hairstylist for the gorgeous Sofie. I think we used David Austin roses in her soft up style florist friends correct me if I’m wrong! Her hair was wasn’t overly long or super thick, so I was able to add some loose curls for a little wow factor Having florals incorporated as part of your hairstyle always gives an uncomplicated yet elegant look. And, compared to bridal hair clips or fascinators, it is a little easier on the wallet too! See more
