Hi, I’m Nicolette, but you may know me as Big Hoop Energy — a professional makeup artist and content creator specializing in soft glam, bridal, and camera-ready beauty. My goal is simple: delivering a luxury experience while helping you feel like the most confident, elevated version of yourself.
I’ve built my career working with real clients and real faces, from weddings and special events to photoshoots and content creation. Whether I’m getting a bride ready for her big day or creating looks for the camera, I focus on enhancing natural features, creating flawless skin, and making sure your makeup wears beautifully in person and on screen.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients, including celebrities and television personalities such as Lauren Sorrentino and Mike Sorrentino, as well as several other members of the Jersey Shore cast. My work has also included clients like Dolores Catania and Rachel Fuda from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Eleonora Srugo from Selling the City, and Renee Graziano from Mob Wives. In addition to on-camera talent, I regularly work with brides, influencers, and clients preparing for major life events and professional shoots.
My artistry has taken me beyond my local area and around the world. I’ve worked in Paris and New York during fashion week and I’ve traveled for destination weddings and events in places like Italy and Las Vegas. These experiences have shaped my ability to work in fast-paced, high-pressure environments while still delivering a calm, personalized luxury experience for every client in my chair.
As a freelance artist, I value a personalized, one-on-one experience. I take the time to understand your vision, your comfort level with makeup, and the vibe you’re going for — then bring it to life with techniques and products that photograph well and last all day.
In addition to client work, I’m also a beauty content creator who loves sharing tutorials, product favorites, and behind-the-scenes moments from my artistry. Makeup is more than a job for me — it’s something I genuinely love, and that passion shows in every face I work on.
Thank you for being here and trusting me with your glam.
