Nicole Roberts, Makeup Artist & Esthetician
The privilege of completing my 5th cover of The Women’s Journal Magazine as a makeup artist has given me a rewarding experience in editorial work. Going behind the scenes to create the look of a brand is one of the things that excites me the most about being a makeup artist. I have been specializing in makeup, waxing, and facial services at Amelia Paris Salon & Spa for two years. In the past year, I have created an online presence, going by the name ‘The Cosmo Chameleon’ on various social media platforms like Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook. Each serves as my creative outlet for teaching my craft. Catch one of my online tutorials or head into the salon and experience the luxury of an organic facial, arched brows, and a fresh new look here at Amelia Paris Salon & Spa.
