I can't thank Niki enough for using her extraordinary talent to make me feel beautiful on a very special day. This was my first experience with anyone applying make up and Niki made me feel so comfortable. Once I saw the assortment of products, I knew she would have the perfect color for my skin tone and lips. Niki began by applying the moisturizer and then the foundation and at the same time describing what she was doing step by step and also giving me tips along the way. Niki used blending techniques that only a true makeup artist could do to cover the blemishes and flaws and still make my skin look natural. When Niki finished and she handed me the mirror, I looked fantastic and felt years younger. All of the imperfections disappeared and the makeup lasted for the entire event.
Niki you have a very special talent and are a true artist. Thank you!

Niki, I want to let you know that you are truly a blessing in disguise! Thank you so much for being a part of my wedding and for making my mom and I look as good as we did! There wasn't one person who didn't comment on our makeup. We passed your number and name to a lot of people so we hope that you'll be getting a lot of new business shortly. I don't know how to explain to you what a great impact you had - being able to walk into a room, full of people knowing that you look good, is nothing short of a blessing. God bless!

I had Niki do my makeup for my son's wedding. This was a special treat for me as I usually do my own makeup, and Niki came highly recommended. Because Niki was doing the makeup for several members of the bridal party that day, including the bride and mother of the bride, I decided on being the first one to get my makeup done. Niki started her day early in the morning, and I had some concern that my makeup would not last the entire day. As soon as Niki came into my home, I felt a sense of comfort and ease. Niki is very professional with a sense of humor and inner beauty herself. I think she brings out the best in people when she comes in to contact with them. She made me feel calm and at ease.
Upon her arrival, I was extremely comfortable by her warmth and kindness; she listens to what your likes are. While preparing her products, I also noticed how thoroughly clean she was by sanitizing everything along the way. Niki explains everything she is getting ready to do on your face, step by step. By the time Niki applied and completed my makeup, which I must say was as if she was using my face as a canvas - I truly looked natural, but glowing and it was as if she had air brushed the makeup on! I couldn't believe it myself.
I would highly recommend Niki without reservation. Not only did my makeup last the entire day and into the evening, with only having to touch up my lipstick - I went to bed without washing my face that evening because I didn't want to take off all that beautiful work. And guess what, it stayed on until the next morning! (False eyelashes included!)
What a truly beautiful experience I had with Niki. I know I will be treating myself a bit more by having Niki do my makeup for future events! :)

I was fortunate enough to secure an appointment with Niki for a very important event I was going to. From the moment she asked me to sit I was made to feel so pretty and so special. Niki took the time to get to know what the event was,What I was going to wear along with some ideas to make me "Pop" which she did.
I took home with me so many great beauty tips along with a newer knowledge of all the great products currently on the market! Not only is Niki a professional in what she does but also an artist with a keen eye for bringing out the best in people, on the outside as well as the inside.
If anyone has an event coming up where you need to look your best or if you just want a day of pampering with some great tips and ideas I say call Ms. Niki! She is a class act from top to bottom!
Thanks so much for the extra confidence you gave me that night Niki!

Niki did my make-up for a Middle Eastern belly dancing recital. She used colors that coordinated with my outfit and techniques of the Middle Eastern style. (Think Egyptian, Cleopatra, cat eyes, and gem stone accents.) The outcome was awesome!
I’m envious of her creativity. She has such a passion for what she does and her knowledge is endless. She had all these great tips for make-up application and skin care. She is a lovely person inside and out. I can’t wait to for an opportunity to have her do my make-up for a more traditional event.
Also I’ve become a fan of B3 on Facebook. The beauty and fashion tips she gives out on a regular basis are the best.

Niki did an excellent job! She did my makeup for my wedding as well as my mother's and all of the bridesmaids. Although I rarely wear makeup, Niki made me feel comfortable and used her expertise to explain what shades and techniques complemented me the most. I usually don't wear makeup for fear that it feels "caked" on and looks "fake". This did not happen at all. I looked beautiful and felt like myself.
- Dina / North Babylon, NY
THANK YOU NIKI!!! I am always very scared to have my make up done professionally; because of the amount of make up that they “Cake” on….But Niki did an amazing job. I usually don’t use too much make-up and am usually happy with just Mascara and Lip gloss. Niki used amazing colors to not only match my complexion but to match our dresses as well. I let her take over my face and put whatever colors she wanted and she did an amazing job! My make up looked and felt so natural. She made me not only feel like a supermodel but made me feel very confident. As a bridesmaid you want to look beautiful and Niki did just that. I received many compliments that night (8 hours after make up was applied) as well as in many of my pictures. Niki is truly an artist who is very passionate about what she does.
Thank you for making me feel so beautiful!!!
- Jazmin / West Hempstead, NY
As the mother of sons, my normal position for a wedding of one of my offsprings is to wear beige and fade into the background. Niki used her magic wand on me for my son's wedding . This was the first time that I had the experience of a professional makeup session. Her professional manner and ease in describing what she was doing was reassuring. We fell into friendly patter with Niki always attentive to my comfort with the procedure. Soon, I was handed a mirror and asked my opinion. My opinion was, if I had looked so good at the other weddings I never would have felt like blending into the background! I felt like a princess and looked like a model. It was such a special treat. I urge you to allow yourself the luxury of this experience. Thanks Niki.
- Cathy / Westwood, NJ
Niki was amazing and my makeup came out great! I am very particular about how I like certain things being in the fashion industry, and she did an outstanding job with my face! I can't wait for my next fancy function, so I can work with Niki again! xo
- Jamie / New York, NY
My experience with Niki was truly amazing. She makes you feel comforable, confident, and the end result is even more amazing. Niki did my makeup for a wedding and I have always done my own make up until this day. I will never apply my own makeup again for any important event! Niki not only applied the make up but validated each step. She loves what she does and takes extreme pride in her work. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to look truly beautiful and at the same time natural.
- Melissa / Babylon, NY
Niki did my make-up for a photo shoot for my new website. Presentation is EVERYTHING in my business and I knew I had to appeal to a young professional market as confident and approachable. Niki did a fantastic job making me look exactly that! As a stereotypical guy, I don't do makeup ever, and I was ready for it to be an awkward experience. But Niki made me feel right at home with zero awkwardness. She was truly empathic to what the situation may have felt like to a guy, and set me quite at ease, which made for some great photos!
- Kevin / New York, NY
Niki is very professional and easy going. She makes you feel extremely at ease, while assuring you that you are in the hands of a seasoned make-up artist. I am made to feel very comfortable and taken care of when she does the makeup for Betsy vs. New York. In one particular sketch, the work that Niki did on me, in a matter of minutes, looked like a team of people had taken hours to perfect.
I would recommend Niki to anyone looking for a make-up artist, as well an advisor on such matters. She works like a pro with the demeanor of an old friend.
- Paul / New York, NY
Niki Brennan did my make-up for the professional headshots I needed for my business. She made me look hip, fresh, and beautiful and I am able to now confidently post the pictures on various social networking sites. The compliments I’ve gotten are countless and I even decided to hire Niki to do my make-up for my upcoming wedding! She is the most genuine, kind, enthusiastic and non-judgmental make-up artist I’ve ever worked with. Brava!
- Laura / Waldwick, NJ
My experience with Niki was fantastic! She did the makeup for my wedding day along with the bridal party and my mom! I had such a solid trial run with Niki, that I wasn't nervous at all. Plus, her portfolio really showcases her work from natural to the dramatic. So, I knew I could ask her to turn it up or dial back my look. I felt RELAXED on one of the most stressful days of my life! I think it helped that she was cool and calm. She is so easy to talk to and she was making us laugh! I even sent Niki an over-the-top agenda of the wedding day and she stayed on time.
I LOVED how I looked and I couldn't be happier! I work in television so I'm very particular about my make-up. Niki was able to give me a different but still natural look apart from my Mon-Fri job. The fake eyelashes Niki used were awesome and blended beautifully. Plus, my make-up stayed on FOREVER! My photographer shot lots of close-ups and the make-up looked fantastic. I have already recommended Niki to people I know! Her ease and talent makes her so enjoyable to be around whether you just met her or have known her for years.
Within minutes of meeting me - Niki knew the best colors/features to play up. Plus, she made me feel ABSOLUTELY beautiful and confident. This is key on a day that you will be photographed probably the most in your entire life. At every angle and all types of lighting. Niki's makeup work kept up and kept me looking fabulous. I couldn't have imagined using someone else!
- Kiersten / Coatesville, PA
Niki is truly a talented artist. She did my make-up for my sister's wedding and it was the first time I have had my make-up done professionally. Niki explained everything that she was doing and made the overall experience very relaxing and enjoyable. I have never felt so beautiful! I'm looking forward to booking her in the future for my wedding day!
- Juliana / Coatesville, PA
I was fortunate enough to have Niki as a make-up artist. As a bridesmaid in a wedding, it is a long day of pictures, dancing, traveling, eating and drinking. I was so impressed with the quality of the make-up, it looked just as perfect at the end of the night as it did in the morning--12 hours after it was applied!
Niki is an incredible person to work with, as I have never had my make-up done professionally before, she makes the process comfortable and fun! I look forward to having the pleasure of working with her in future, she truly contributed to making the evening an exquisite and memorable night to never forget. I would highly recommend her to anyone; she is an incredibly talented, passionate and positive person to be around!
- Lindsay / Brooklyn, NY
Niki definitely did not disappoint! I was the maid of honor in my sister’s wedding, where Niki did my makeup, my sister’s makeup the bridal party and my mother’s too! When she asked me what I wanted, I told her that I was leaving it up to her. I had complete faith in her expertise. Niki definitely makes you feel comfortable and relaxed through the whole process. My make up looked beautiful the entire day. I truly wish that I could be pampered like that every day!
- Tara/ New Paltz, NYSpoken from someone who struggles with problem skin I was nervous that my recent breakout would show. I was a bridesmaid in my friend Kiersten's wedding and concerned about the photos. It was a dermatological/bridesmaid's worst nightmare! But, Niki's amazing talents made my skin look flawless and she was incredibly considerate when choosing product that would work with my temperamental skin and not anger it ... something that is very important to me. Aside from her amazing talent of making me look and feel beautiful her over-all calm and relaxed demeanor during the hectic wedding prep was a lifesaver... we laughed, enjoyed every minute and more importantly Kiersten, the bride, was absolutely gorgeous, glowing and CALM!
B3: Beauty by Brennan should be on every bride's checklist!- Meg / Philadelphia, PA
Niki did my makeup for a friend's birthday party. I must say, as soon as I walked in, I felt right at home. She was prompt, professional, and immediately got to work. It was more like a party than a makeup session. I have very sensitive skin, so Niki also took the time to explain what she was doing to my face and talked about some of the ingredients in the makeup. I have brown skin with yellow and red undertones, and she was able to match my color better than I ever have. I have recommended and will continue to recommend B3: Beauty By Brennan to all my people who need makeup done.
I got so many compliments on how FIERCE my smoky eye looked. I've tried to duplicate it, and I can't. Well, I guess I'll have to go back to Niki. I don't mind one BIT!
- Adrienne / Philadelphia, PA
The experience I had with Niki, was wonderful. I was a little nervous to have my makeup done by a professional, for my daughter's wedding. I had concerns, because I've never had anyone else apply my makeup before. I am fity-eight and have loose skin on my eyelids. I also did not want to wear makeup that was suitable for a twenty year old woman. Sometimes you see older women wearing so much makeup, they either look like they are in drag, or a clown. Niki addressed all of these issues. She has a gentle touch and demeanor, and is a true artist. Niki was constantly asking me if I had any concerns, while making me feel quite at ease. She does not cookie cut your look. Niki makes you look like you, just the best you! If you want to look special, call Niki, she can achieve the look you want.
- Bonnie / New Paltz, NY
Niki clearly knows her stuff!! Working as the make-up artist for my wedding, Niki was all i expected and more!! She helped me find exactly the right look and wasn't afraid to experiment with some of the ideas that i had... better yet, she made it all work!
i truly felt beautiful on that day and i will forever thank Niki for being so fabulous at what she does! I believe you can teach someone ways to apply makeup, but you cant teach passion... Niki's got the whole package!
- Nora / Kingston, NY
A friend recommended Niki and from the first time we spoke by phone, I knew this was the makeup artist for my daughter and me. Niki understood what a big day my daughter's Bat Mitzvah was to our family and she made both of us feel relaxed and at ease. Niki gave us options, listened to what we wanted and followed thru from makeup trial to the actual event. She's easy to talk to, makes herself accessible and takes a genuine interest in her clients. Most important to me was that my daughter looked age appropriate, not overly made up.
I would recommend Niki to anyone, she's a pleasure to work with, and she knows how to make you feel that you are her most important client and most of all, she's extremely talented.
- Jodye / Philadelphia, PA
Working with Niki was an amazing experience. She made me feel beautiful on the inside in addition to making me look like a sexy hottie on the out! Niki's vibrant energy is an inspirational breath of fresh air. She truly is an amazing person and extremely talented artist. Can't wait to work with her again. HIRE BEAUTY BY BRENNAN FOR YOUR NEXT SPECIAL EVENT NOW!!!
- Nicole / New York, NY
I loved the job Niki did!!! I really don't like having my make-up done or having someone that close to my face/eyes. But Niki has such a comforting way about her, I was completely at easy and it was a really nice experience.
I would use her again and recommend her to anyone I know who needs a make-up artist!
