ABOUT the artist

Hey, beautiful! I’m Kierstyn, affectionately known as Kay—licensed makeup artist, bridal beauty expert, and the creative force behind K. Nicole Artistry, where beauty meets precision, and glam is always served with a side of excellence.

Whether I’m glamming a bride on her big day or teaching everyday women how to slay their own beat, my mission is simple: help you look like the best version of YOU—confident, radiant, and unforgettable.

When I’m not behind the brush, you can find me balancing mom life, making magic in my salon suite, or building up beautypreneurs to chase their goals with intention and confidence.

If you’re ready for a flawless face and a feel-good vibe, you’re in the right place.

Let’s create something beautiful together.

EXPERIENCE

Since 2011, I have been helping people feel beautiful inside and out by providing them with custom makeup applications. With an extensive background in cosmetics and customer service, I have a thorough knowledge of various skin types, and I know what it takes to cater to each client’s specific needs.

With over a decade of experience enhancing natural beauty, I specialize in crafting soft glam looks that photograph flawlessly and last through every tear, toast, and turn-up.

Based in Durham, NC, I work with clients who want more than just makeup—they want an experience. A calm, professional vibe. A makeup artist who listens. And results that always give luxury.
