“Makeup artistry is my medium, but I get to do so much more than paint faces—I make believers of beauty.”

Nikki Hynek recounts her initial desire to start working in the makeup realm, which started around the age of ten-years-old, while standing in a drugstore aisle entranced by Covergirl’s sea of colors, textures, sparkles and shimmers. Today, Nikki Hynek is a makeup artist maven—fully immersed in the world of high fashion colors, inked eyes, tinseled lashes and girl-next-store skin. She has positioned herself as an expert in all things beauty and has impressed the industry with her hard work ethic, raw talent, versatility and genuine passion.

Nikki’s unique style has garnered a loyal following from political candidates, actors, major broadcast companies and editorial publications, including Time and Seventeen magazines. She has created looks for Vice President Biden, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Senator John Edwards, Mitt and Ann Romney, and Newt Gingrich. Her creative side has excelled while working on several movie sets including featured films such as Splatter and Collapse. She has had many on-air successes including her work with Fox News, ABC, CNN and ESPN.

When not elbow deep in makeup, fashion or photography Nikki enjoys riding her horses and spending time with her husband and barn yard animals.
