Nikkita Naidoo

Founder & Professional Make-up Artist

I'm Nikkita Naidoo, the proud founder and professional makeup artist behind Nikki’s Beautique.

Nikki’s Beautique is a fully mobile makeup artistry service catering to the Gauteng region. With over 9 years of expertise, I specialize in photoshoots, corporate events, commercials, and offer exquisite bridal and special occasion makeup. Complementing this, I provide hairstyling services to complete your desired look.

Every client holds a special place in my heart; my unique strength lies in recognizing the inherent beauty in others and bringing it to the forefront. When you sit in my chair, it's not just about makeup; it's about understanding your thoughts, desires, and capturing the essence of who you are, culminating in a tailored, stunning look. Each makeup session serves as a safe and welcoming space for my clients to freely express themselves.

My commitment extends beyond skill – I bring a positive, authentic, and fun attitude to every session. Passion drives me to unveil the best version of you, creating an experience that goes beyond the makeup chair.

Nikki’s Beautique: “Enhance. Express. Empower.”

my story

I stumbled into the world of makeup during a job I despised—the kind where Fridays are your lifeline and Sundays feel like impending doom (Thanks, Carte Blanche, 7pm). Frustrated with being underpaid and overworked, I sought a new income stream. Little did I expect to fall head over heels for the art of makeup, prompting me to bid farewell to my corporate gig. After a year of juggling makeup alongside my job, I took a brave plunge into the full-time makeup scene, steadily crafting my own brand ever since.
