Nicola ONeill Make Up Beauty & Brows, Belfast

My name is Nicola O’Neill, I am a professional freelance make-up artist, now based in Belfast. Originally I trained as a beauty therapist, working for a year before deciding make-up was my main interest. In 1997 I started working for MAC Cosmetics in Glasgow, training with great make-up artists who have gone on to become creative directors of MAC.

I moved down to London with MAC where I gained invaluable experience in high fashion and high quality make-up, then moving back to Edinburgh, once again working for MAC. Over the years, working for such an important company in the make up industry, I have picked up priceless training and experience. I am a MAC Pro Member, which apart from giving me trade discount, gives me access to the latest tips and trends happening in the make-up world. Along the way I have been involved in various different projects, hair shows, magazine shoots and catwalk shows and pride myself on being able to adapt my skills to any situation.

In 2007 I started my freelance make-up business which has gone from strength to strength and resulted in me being extremely busy throughout the years with weddings! 2008 saw me expand my skills to hair where I trained at the London Academy of Freelance Make Up - here I trained in Bridal, Fashion and Period Hair Styling. Training in hair has been invaluable to my business allowing me to offer both services, and on occasion being a back up when a stylist didn’t turn up!

Since then I have trained in Xtreme semi permanent eyelash extensions, Shellac and Minx nails and most recently, due to popular demand, HD brows and Temptu Pro Airbrush make-up. I have recently moved to Northern Ireland with my family and look forward to working within the Northern Irish industry and establishing a great customer based business.
