Niki's artistic background led to her chosen career as a make-up artist. Interested in colouring and decorating from an early age Niki went on to study 'A'level art and design followed by a foundation course in Art and Design studies at Camberwell College of Art.

Niki started her make-up career whilst studying, working part-time for Boots the Chemist and as an agency make-up consultant. This has enabled her to gain over 10 years worth of experience working with brands including no.7, Revlon, Estee Lauder, Christian Dior, Clarins, Clinique, YSL and Lancome.

In 2002, after studying for a further three years she graduated from the London College of Fashion with a 2:1 hons degree in hair and make-up for the performing arts. She is skilled in all aspects of hair and make-up styling, wig dressing, air brushing and body painting, making and applying prosthetics and bald caps.

In more recent years she has worked for Mac cosmetics as a resident trainer and make-up artist. She has also worked as a make-up artist for Laura Mercier Cosmetics and most recently the exclusive Daniel Sandler make-up line at the Urban Retreat Spa - Harrods.

Since graduating she has worked freelance as a hair and make-up artist in television and fashion, and also specialises in bridal makeup. Niki is represented by Artistic Licence Agency.

In her spare time she never puts down her artists brush as she likes to paint contemporary art works with acrylic on canvas.
