About Us

The Makeup Fix is a blog by Nichola Graham and Jennifer Florence. Both professional makeup artists living in Kildare, Ireland.

NICHOLA GRAHAM

Nichola's career in makeup began in the UK in the early 90s, when she worked as stylist, photographer and makeup artist for a number of new bands in the UK on the EMI, A&M and Warner Brothers labels.

​

The flamboyance of the music scene was an ideal environment for her creativity, and, in a roundabout order, after years of experience she finally succumbed to formal training before returning home to Dublin in 1999!

Nichola has worked with some of Ireland's leading Photographers and Directors for over 14 years now and her portfolio of work includes: Oxfam, Coors Light, Diet Coke, Bord Gas, EuroMillions, Lucozade, Alzheimers Society, Seven Seas, National College of Ireland (NCI), Denny, Motivation Clinics and Vodafone TV commercials, print campaigns for, Alpro Soya, Knor, Lindermans Wines, Tru Life, Vodafone, TV3, Mitsubishi, Snap Printing, SuperValu, Eagle Star, Niquitin and Superquinn and fashion & Beauty spreads in Confetti, Totally Dublin, The Dubliner, Life, Kiss, Salon and U Magazines to name but a few.

Nichola is a proficient airbrush artist, with over 8 years airbrush makeup experience. She also offers a range of teaching expertise for makeup colleges and business', including airbrush makeup, black and white mediums, commercial makeup and cosmetic science.

Nichola is Competition Director for the Professional Beauty Warpaint Makeup Competition at the RDS in Dublin each year. 2015 will see the launch of Beauty Professional Ireland's Makeup Championships which Nichola is also heavily involved in.

Her continuing goal is to show clients that there's more to makeup than a smokey eye!
