Nicola Plummer Hair and Make-Up Artist - Nationwide

Nicola was absolutely incredible on my wedding day. The makeup was stunning and Nicola is such a gem! She kept me calm and even donned some white gloves and did the buttons up on my dress when my Mum got stuck. I would recommend her wholeheartedly for absolutely anything!

Nicola was fantastic to work with and created just the natural look I wanted for my wedding day, which lasted all day. She also listened well to my preferences and what I like as my usual make-up routine. Nicola was also great in the run-up to the day and on the morning of the wedding itself, very calm and organised and good fun too! Couldn’t recommend Nicola highly enough.

We got married 21st April 2025 and had Nicola as our makeup artist and was absolutely fantastic.

She was amazing from the moment she arrived calm professional and good fun to have around that morning. She made everyone feel at ease and really added to a relaxed atmosphere.

The make up was stunning and lasted perfectly all day.

I'd highly recommend Nicola to any bride, totally professional and great to have by your side on your wedding day. X

I was very happy with the service from Nicola. She did a fabulous job doing my bridal makeup for my wedding, March 2025. Nicola was knowledgeable and knew exactly what colours would suit my complexion/features. The makeup she did was professional, durable (lasted all day and well into the night!), and beautiful. It made such a difference for photos and made me feel confident and pretty. Nicola was warm, friendly, put me at ease and was so lovely. I was nervous on the wedding morning, but it was a relaxing experience getting my makeup done and chatting to Nicola. Nicola knew what makeup would work well for myself, my 2 sisters and my Mam. She did such a brilliant job and it was clear she has years of valuable experience. Communicating/liaising with Nicola was easy and she was efficient and responsive to any queries or messages. I was overall so delighted with the results of her makeup service and was so pleased I asked Nicola to do my wedding makeup. Would highly recommend Nicola, as her service and knowledge is excellent.

From our first conversation Nicola was absolutely brilliant. She was so responsive and so knowledgeable. I was drawn to her because her portfolio showed amazing range and I was looking for something a little less traditionally bridal and I was not disappointed. All of my bridesmaids and my mother in law wanted different looks and Nicola did every one masterfully. Beyond her skill as a makeup artist, which is considerable, she was an incredible asset on the morning of the wedding. She kept everything running to schedule, she made sure I ate something, she is an absolute expert at dealing with complicated buttons on the back of dresses, and she made sure everything was ready for the photographer's arrival.

From the moment I contacted Nicola she was very nice and immediately put me at ease. When I met Nicola for the trial she was super friendly and answered and helped me with all my concerns.
On the wedding day Nicola was a star. She did mine, my two bridesmaids, my mams and stepmams make up and everyone looked fantastic. I looked and felt amazing and my make up did not budge one inch (side note it was a particularly hot and humid day in Ireland!) Thank you so much Nicola for being a part of our amazing day!

Nicola was recommended by our venue and was an absolute pleasure to deal with both in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself! At the trial, she was so warm and bubbly and instantly put me at ease. I didn't really know what make up look I wanted for the wedding but Nicola was full of great ideas and really knew what would suit me. She was also able to recommended lipsticks etc. On the wedding day, Nicola was a complete star and did a fantastic job with my make up, it looked really natural and lasted all day! Nicola also went above and beyond by helping me into my dress and getting me organised when I was running late! I would highly recommend Nicola to any bride! Thanks so much Nicola, I'm delighted I choose you as my MUA.

Could not recommend Nicola more.
From the makeup trial to the morning of the wedding, she made myself and my wedding party feel such at such ease on the day and kept us all laughing to keep the nerves at bay!

A true expert that knows her craft inside and out and and all round superstar through and though.

Nicola is amazing and I'm so happy she was available for our wedding. My make up trial went so well, I knew I was in safe hands with Nicola's attention to detail. I felt so reassured as she understood exactly what I was looking for and I left with a few tips and recommendations for the build up to the wedding.
On the day, Nicola put us all at ease, she's such a professional and her experience shows as she kept everything moving perfectly! I loved my make up and my mum who doesn't wear make up everyday, was delighted with hers! Highly recommend Nicola!

Nicola is a complete superstar. I was a bridesmaid at a wedding where she was the make up artist and her conduct then made me want to book her for my big day. It was one of the best decisions I made. She kept the whole room upbeat and chatty (I had a very small bridal party). She also put some painters in line in the hallway so my dress wasn't damaged on the way past.

The make up looked stunning and last all night. I was up till 5am so that's impressive! I even bought the foundation She used as it made my skin look like porcelain.

I cannot recommend Nicola enough. She will add such a vibrance to your day while making you look and feel amazing. 11/10!!!!

Nicola was so wonderful to work at. From the trial run to the day itself she put myself and the bridal party at ease.i couldn't recommend Nicola highly enough,

Nicola was such a pleasure to have as my makeup artist on my wedding day, from our first phone conversation to my makeup trail and the day itself, I couldn't have been happier, my makeup was amazing and stayed in place all day and night which was a tall order on a hot day in August, I?d highly recommend Nicola to any bride for her day.

I booked Nicola based on reviews and was not disapointed, the makeup lasted all night but still looked natural.

I couldn't have been happier with my makeup on the day. If you are looking for supernatural makeup that doesn't budge - Nicola is your woman! We all felt beautiful in our makeup & even a bridesmaid who has never had makeup done felt great! Thank you, Nicola!

Nicola was absolutely fantastic from booking and doing the trial and of course the wedding day. She has a lovely calming nature and is also so nice to chat and have a laugh with. When it comes to the makeup it was exactly what I wanted it lasted well and I felt amazing. She also did my mum who suffers from vitiligo and did a wonderful job. Both my bridesmaids and my sister also loved their make-up. Couldn't recommend her highly enough

When I secured our wedding venue I immediately saught out Nicola. She was on my must have vendors list, as I've seen her work on many brides over the years and followed her work on Social Media. I was delighted to find out she was available and she absolutely delivered on the day.

We met her at the RDS show January 2023 and she was so friendly, which is exactly how she was morning of my wedding. Everyone felt as ease around her and had lots of fun getting ready. The makeup was beautiful and lasted all night.
I'd highly recommended booking Nicola for your big day, she brings a friendly bubbly attitude, who keeps you relaxed on the morning and her work is stunning.

Nicola made our morning! She was fun and bubbly and spent the whole morning really chatting and being one of the girls. Spent heaps of time with me and my 2 little girls (pretending with them). Even did my buttons up as she is very fast at these. On the day. She was amazing and everyone looked fantastic. Would highly recommend her

Nicola was amazing, professional, friendly and so insightful with lots of advice on things I hadn't even thought of. She was so calm that no one got stressed at all while we were getting ready. The bridal party all looked gorgeous & she tailored the make-up to each of us. She was a godsend! Couldn't have asked for more, a real professional and such a lovely person as well. Just added to the whole day

Nicola travelled a long way to Wicklow to do my make-up on the day of the wedding. As I was immunocompromised, Nicola was happy to wear a mask the entire time she was with us. This meant so much to me. She is friendly, warm, and knew exactly what Mum and I wanted: to look like ourselves, with just enough make-up to look our best. We were so pleased with our make-up. I can't recommend Nicola highly enough. Anyone hiring her services won't be disappointed!

Nicola was amazing - I highly recommend her for your big day! Between her advice and help during my trial to all the prep the morning of the wedding, Nicola was great! The makeup looked amazing and lasted all night. Thank you Nicola for all your help on my day big.

Nicola was absolutely amazing to deal with. From our first pre-covid meeting to rescheduling our wedding & finally getting to our big day Nicola could not have been more helpful, she is super organised and talking through the pre-ceremony details with her made me feel very assured I was in capable hands. Such a calm and positive person to have around on the wedding day and for the build up. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble even when my nails didn't turn out properly from another supplier Nicola saved the day on the wedding morning. Loved having her in the house to add to the fun of the wedding day and keep me calm! The make up was flawless throughout the day and was still in place at 5am!! 100% recommend Nicola for her make up artistry and her fabulous personality!

My wedding makeup artist cancelled 4 days before my wedding. I contacted Nicola through Weddingsonline. She responded immediately, rescheduled appointments to accommodate me and was extremely helpful. Nicola reassured a tearful bride to be without any time for a trial. Any questions or worries were answered with confidence and experience dealing with stressed brides.
On the day I was thrilled to meet this bubbly pleasant lady. Nicola pulled out all the stops with the bridal looks and took everyone's opinions into consideration. The atmosphere was electric and nothing was too much bother. I would highly recommended her bridal makeup and words cannot describe how she saved my dream day. Everyone sang her praises and all worked out for the best.

Nicola is excellent at her job and really reasonably priced. We had to reschedule due to COVID and she was so accommodating and supportive. Nicola is straightforward, down-to-earth, and really knowledgeable about skincare and makeup which I really appreciated as it helped clarify what to expect and what makeup would work best. Nothing was too much trouble! My lips dried out really badly before the wedding but Nicola dealt with it so well that you really couldn't tell and I felt completely comfortable. The makeup on myself and my bridesmaids lasted extremely well and showed up beautifully in the wedding photos. Nicola is really experienced so she's a great presence on the day - well able to clarify the process and help the morning run smoothly which you really want (trust me!) She also helped advise on a good hair stylist to book which was great! Highly recommend Nicola!

From my first contact with Nicola, I loved her, she was so honest and open, I booked her immediately.
She is so knowledgeable in her profession, great with advice and an absolute must have on any Brides wedding morning.
She bounced into the hotel, full of life, and from that moment everyone just laughed non stop.
Nicola made the morning so completely enjoyable, but also was completely professional, she had everyone ready on time and even helped with things that were nothing to do with make up.
I cant recommend Nicola enough. Not only did she make me look great but she also made me feel great.

Nicola was fantastic from day one, any changes I wanted she was willing to listen and discuss in detail. She gives great advice for what suits your skins needs on the day and in the build-up to the wedding. My sister-in-law and both my bridesmaids were delighted with her work. I honestly could not recommend her highly enough, I would definitely go back to her for any of my professional make-up needs. Her relaxed, calm, fun and organised manner on the morning of the wedding made it such a special morning for us all.

Nicola was absolutely amazing to have around the house on the morning of the wedding, she was great craic and kept me totally relaxed!!
She had lots of faces to do and we were all delighted with our make-up on the day and everything ran on time!
Can't wait for Nicola to do my make-up again when I am bridesmaid for my friend's wedding next year!! x

Nicola was amazing from start to finish, she was full of great tips on the day and not just about make up, she is a true professional who put everyone at ease from start to finish, I am not into makeup and she guided me every step of the way, she knew exactly what to do even though I didn't know myself. Could not recommend this lady enough she is fantastic and great at what she does as well as being a warm and funny person to have around on a hectic morning

I'd really like to thank Nicola for helping myself and my ladies look like movie stars for the Big Day. I'm not used to having my make up done and from the moment I met Nicola at my make up trial, I knew that she would help us achieve my vision. Nicola was so relaxed and easy going and was very responsive to my messages. I'd have no hesitation in recommending her or using her again!

We recently got married here in Co. Kildare and from the week we began planning our day I wanted the best. Nicola from the moment I spoke with you at booking almost 2 years prior to our wedding date I knew I had the right person for our bridal make up. You made each of us feel stunning and thats a very hard thing to do when you dealing with ladies who work in the industry, but you did so well they each loved their make up and it goes without saying that i loved mine. I'm sure we will meet again, I will always reccomend you highly.
Best of luck for the future xx.

Nicola was absolutely fantastic to deal with. She did a perfect job on my make up, it lasted all night and looked great in photos! She was great fun to have in the house the morning of the wedding and was great with advice for the day! Would have no hesitation to recommend her to any brides!

Having a really good make up artist for my wedding was really important to me. Firstly, I suffer from acne and, though thankfully my skin improved greatly before the wedding, I wanted an MUA who understood this. There were also 7 of us to be looked after on the day so I knew that this would require someone with loads of experience who worked well under pressure. I was so happy that I was lucky enough to book Nicola!

I was very nervous arriving at my trial in May. I had already had a couple of trials with different MUAs and just wasn't happy. Nicola immediately put me at ease. She is so professional and her experience shines through. As well as this she is a really friendly, bubbly and patient person. I left my trial feeling so excited for the big day.

From the moment Nicola arrived at the venue on the morning of the wedding we never stopped chatting and laughing. She breezed through the seven of us without a hint of hurry or pressure. We were all so thrilled with our make up as it is a very individual thing and Nicola manged to listen to us all and create a look just right for each of us.

I got so many compliments throughout the day about my make up and my best friend commented that Nicola was the first MUA that ever got the look she wanted spot on! Looking back on photographs and the wedding video I am so thrilled with the look Nicola created for me. I was perfectly my style and worked so well with my hair and dress.

I would recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a super talented, professional, friendly and relaxed MUA. Don't even hesitate!

Nicola, thank you so much for being part of my Wedding Day on 24th October. I was so pleased with my natural bridal look and got so many compliments on the day that I felt like a star. The morning of the Wedding was so much fun and you were not only a professional Make Up Artist but managed to keep us all on track from remembering to pack our suitcases to making sure we ate a good Irish breakfast to keep us going. I'm delighted I found you. Caroline xx

Great service from Nicola. She really knows her stuff and I would definitely recommend her to friends

I would highly recommend Nicola as a make up artist for a wedding. She is so organised she just completely puts you at ease while you are getting ready not to mention she also make you look amazing!!!

Nicola was set up with the Ironing Board and away she went. She had us Beautiful even before the photographer and video man arrived!!!
She had a busy morning with me, my bridesmaids and a sister. Two of my sisters never wore make up before in their lives and by god Nicola was firm but fair and was very helpful!

She came highly recommended by my sister in law, and lived up to all expectations. Nicola is a pleasure to deal with, easy to talk too, easy to make contact with and is extremely professional. She is very knowledgeable on all things make up and beauty related, we even got some tips!

It was a pleasure having you around on the morning of my day Nicola, you had us all calm, you helped with the dressing, the make up and almost more importantly the craic ? Never left our side until we left for the ceremony. Would Love to do it all again!

Nicola provided an excellent service the day of my wedding. She was professional, efficient and provided excellent tips to help ease nerves. She really added to the fun of the day, with her quick wit and awesome sense of humour. I would recommend Nicola 100%. :-)

Nicola was excellent. She is truly brilliant and has a genuine interest in what she does and this shows in her work which is amazing. Even though I know nicola for many years she was nothing but professional from the trials right up to the big day. She was so calm and really put everyone at ease with her charming personality. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.

My best friend recently got married and Nicola did our make-up. She came to the house on the mornng of the wedding, and waved her magical brushes. I don't wear a lot of make-up and Nicola knew exactly what I liked and wanted, and gave me great skin advice. Nicola is very professional and does her job above and beyond. Thanks Nicola for turning Cinderella into a Princess.
