Sydney Makeup Artist — Niki Simpson | Makeup Artistry & Hair Styling

Hi, I’m Niki.

An award winning makeup artist based in Sydney, Australia.

With over 17 years of experience as a professional makeup artist and 15 years as a hairstylist, I specialise in creating natural, timeless hair and makeup looks that enhance your features and bring out your confidence. My signature style is soft, fresh, and effortless — perfect for brides, branding shoots, portraits, and fashion editorials.

In 2018, I was honoured to win the Bridal Makeup category at the Face2Face Makeup Awards, a highlight of my career and a reflection of my dedication to making every client feel their absolute best.

Niki Simpson Hair & Makeup - Sydney, Australia

My creative journey began long before makeup — I studied Photography and Creative Arts, worked as a professional theatre actor, and spent nearly a decade in television production. This background in performance and visual storytelling gives me a unique eye for detail, lighting, and how makeup reads both in person and on camera.

Today, I work with clients across Sydney on bridal makeup and hairstyling, personal branding sessions, editorial shoots, and campaign work. I’ve collaborated with top photographers and stylists on projects for brands like Deco Rug, Sennheiser, Fairfax

Media, Westpac, Mamamia TV, Surface Art, Publisher Textiles, Polli, IVI Organics, Love Merino, Pinstripe Media, and Nimble Activewear.

My editorial work has been featured in Hello May, Magnolia Rouge, Modern Wedding, Luxury Weddings, and on international blogs such as Style Me Pretty, Wedding Chicks, and Wedding Sparrow.

If you’re looking for a Sydney makeup artist who combines artistry, experience, and a calm, professional approach, I’d love to work with you on your next project or special day.
