My name is Nicole Bartlett and I am the owner of Nicole Bartlett Beauty, LLC (I know truly a unique business name). My love for all things beauty started at an early age.

It is truly my honor being able to make individuals feel their best. There is nothing more valuable to me then when my clients look in the mirror after I complete my services and they beam with confidence and beauty. I am so grateful to be trusted with your special day!

Nicole Bartlett Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our initial consultation, Nicole was quick to understand my desired makeup look, provided specific recommendations, and was incredibly personable throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, Nicole's work was truly top-tier - the makeup was beautiful and perfectly fit my personal style. She took feedback seamlessly and made adjustments to ensure I felt confident and comfortable. Nicole is one of the kindest and most dedicated vendors I have ever worked with, and I would highly encourage any couple to book her for their special day.

We had such an amazing day in Newport, RI getting ready in the Belle Mer bridal suite with Kaydee and Liz. Both ladies were AMAZING and made my bridesmaids and I all look our best for the wedding. For my wedding look I wanted a half-up, halfdown look with natural make-up (but not too natural, if you know what I mean) - and Kaydee absoluetly nailed it. I couldn't have been happier with how everything went.

Girl Talk Beauty Bar 

5.0

  • Starts at $130
  • Serves Portsmouth, RI

With over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, I am a passionate makeup artist based in Newport, RI. I thrive on building connections with my clients, understanding their needs, and creating looks that enhance their natural beauty. My mission is to make everyone who sits in my chair feel confident and beautiful while delivering a flawless application that they can trust.

Dustyn was wonderful to work with from the first email to the final payment. She listened to my wants/hopes for my wedding make-up and asked questions back to ensure she really grasped what I was looking for. We had a successful trial where we were able to make adjustments together that both captured the look I wanted, but also what was going to photograph well and last for the entire day. I would say my wedding make-up was bullet proof. I got married on a hot summer day in August and it looked the exact same at 11am as it did at 11pm. Dustyn is fun, easy going and will make the getting ready part of your day a blast. Her pricing is super competitive and she allowed my bridesmaids to customize their look which was important to me as I wanted everyone to feel their best on my wedding day. I have and will continue to recommend her to family and friends for their wedding days!

Krystal has been my hair dresser for several years now and there was no question when I got engaged who I was going to ask to do my wedding hair/makeup. I always leave the salon so happy, and my wedding day was no exception! Working with Krystal is always SO easy - she’s clear and responsive, so supportive, flexible, funny, all the things. She (and her assistant Jen who helped her) did an amazing job on hair and makeup for the full bridal party and mothers. Everyone was very happy and felt beautiful and appreciated how natural yet polished our makeup was. Krystal even accommodated my mother in law who on the day of decided she wanted to have her makeup done. Speaking from someone who’s never worn foundation, she loved it too! Also note - I wore clip in extensions on my wedding day and was nervous about them, and Krystal did a fantastic job securing them and making it look so natural.

Nicole is truly a master of her craft. I have very oily skin and previous make up trials with other make up artists resulted in the make up fading within two hours. Nicole did an amazing job and my make up lasted for 10 hours. I was glowing! She’s also really fun to work with. I would highly recommend her to any bride.

Marissa Mancini Makeup Artistry

  • Serves Portsmouth, RI

Hi I'm Marissa Mancini, makeup artist Offering Makeup Services to the New England Area. For any occasion or just for fun. I’ve worked in the film industry as a make-up artist, so I understand the importance of having skin look like skin. From a natural ‘no makeup’ makeup to a full glam, I got you covered!

I hired Marissa for my wedding day on 10/10/2024, and I am so thankful I did! Marissa is punctual, professional, so sweet, and incredibly talented at what she does. I am not someone who wears much makeup regularly, but I wanted to look like a bride on my wedding day. At my trial, Marissa asked me several questions about what products I normally wear and what I'm comfortable with. Even though I am essentially clueless about those things, Marissa took what little information I gave her and created a look that was everything I wanted. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law also felt beautiful on the day of thanks to her! I couldn't recommend Marissa enough.
