MadeUpArt . Makeup By Nour Kazoun

During my wedding planning process, I searched long and hard for a good makeup artist. Both my videographer and wedding planner recommended Nour to me and I noticed how many glowing reviews she received. I emailed her that day and was extremely impressed with her portfolio.

For special occasions (birthdays, weddings, NYE parties, etc), I usually get my makeup done at a MAC store, but I always come home feeling unsatisfied and I end up fixing one or two things. This was not the case with Nour. After my wedding trial, I booked her immediately and I had total confidence she would nail it on my big day. Nour definitely understand how important it is to look your most beautiful on your wedding day – I even signed up my mom and my maid of honors so they could look amazing!

On the actual day, Nour arrived early and was ready to rock n’ roll. She was extremely professional, attentive, efficient, and so easy to talk to you. Everyone (especially my husband) and their mothers were stunned to see the final result of my look. She is extraordinarily talented in making you look your best by enhancing your features. Nour knows which colors to use on each individual to give them their perfect look.

Another great plus about her is that she had a great connection with all our vendors (photographer and videographer) – so she knew what they needed from her to capture the shots they were looking for. I seriously looked the best I have ever looked, which gave me confidence to have an amazing day. I received so many wonderful compliments both during and after the wedding. It has been 3 weeks and I am still getting asked “who did your makeup?” from recent and future brides. Best day of my life!

I recommend Nour to all you future brides! She is amazing and worth every penny! If you want to look your best on one of the most important days of your life, pick Nour! Thank you so much Nour Kazoun!!!!!!

Noor did an AWESOME job with my make-up for my South Asian wedding reception. Pakistani wedding make-up is very dramatic. I searched for a make-up artist for a good 2 months before I ran into her website! Her make-up style was exactly what I wanted; dramatic, but clean. I told her what I wanted and she delivered! My eye make-up was amazing. I got compliments all night! My bridesmaids got their make-up done as well and they were very pleased. They are still talking about how amazing their make-up looked!

I had a trial run before my wedding and it definitely helped me figure out what kind of look I was going for. Noor is very kind, patient, and professional. If you're looking for drama, I highly recommend Noor.

I cannot say enough good things about Nour. She is amazing and truly an artist! She is extremely sweet and made me feel so comfortable. She captured my vision in terms of how I wanted to look on my wedding day. She is very attentive and really loves what she does – it shows in her work and her demeanor.

I highly recommend a trial before your big day. Nour made me feel so comfortable and went through several different looks with me. I felt so confident in her skills!

Nour did the make-up for me, all of my bridal party, my mother and my mother-in-law. She showed up on time and kept us all on schedule. Our make-up lasted the entire day and she did an absolutely stunning job on each of us! I couldn’t have been happier with Nour. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for the most talented make-up artist for their special day!

Nour Kazoun was just AMAZING! I was very concerned about finding the best makeup artist I could because I wanted to look my best on my wedding day. I found no luck after interviewing several well-known makeup artists in our area. By faith, I found Nour by flipping through Washingtonian Bride and Groom magazine. I quickly called and arranged a trial run. A minute I met Nour, I knew she was the one for me. I didn’t have to discuss much about my looks for the ceremony and the reception.

Then the wedding day came and I don't know how she did it, but my makeup looked better than the trial run! Never in my life have I felt as beautiful and glamorous as I did on my wedding day which is exactly how every bride SHOULD feel! Nour applied make up for all my bridesmaids and they were also gorgeous! Our makeup lasted all day and night. She made us all look so stunning and I was so happy!

Nour went above and beyond my expectations! Thanks so much for such a great experience. Friends and family have commented on what a fabulous I looked and I have to say, we couldn't agree more! I would highly recommend Made Up Art for any bride and I will always return to Nour to do my makeup for any future events.

Thank You so much Nour for being part of my important day!

I set up make-up trials with 5 of the most popular and highly rated makeup artist in DC, including Nour. I truly loved Nour's services for several reasons: 1) she has many years of experience in this industry, so she understand what photographs well and she understands what the camera likes; 2) she truly embraces the notion of full coverage makeup that will make you look natural nevertheless; 3) she is professional and responsive. I would highly recommend her services to all brides, especially Persian and Indian brides.

Nour was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I first found Nour from this site and fell in love with her looks. I was surprised by how quickly she responded to my emails and was blown away by how nice the responses were. At the make-up trial, from the moment I saw myself in the mirror, I knew I had to have Nour apply my make-up. Nour is a true artist and on my wedding day I was even more pleased with the results than I was at my trial. More importantly she adjusted my look last minute to incorporate some Indian inspired make-up touches for my mom. She made both me and my mom feel extremely comfortable and relaxed even though we were running late (my fault). She also changed my look for the reception and completed make-up for seven other members of my family. All of the looks were amazing and unique. Months after the wedding, my sisters still comment on their make-up from the wedding. I know that in the future I will return to Nour to have my make-up done professionally and I would also highly recommend her for any bride (including ethnic brides).

Nour was so great to work with, she was prepared, on-time and a fabulous artist!

She is an amazing makeup artisit that will make you look like a princess on your wedding day!

Nour was extremely easy to work with- from setting up the original consultation to the final product on my wedding day. I loved my makeup! Nour was able to make me look special, yet not overdone, as I don't normally wear a lot of makeup. It was fantastic! My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law were also all very pleased with their makeup. I highly recommend Nour!

Nour is an amazing artist!

She will bring out the best features of you and make you look so stunning. Anyone, who sees you that day, will be talking about how pretty your makeup is. She is very professional. She will be there on time and finishes on time. She loves what she does so much that will make you so calm and relaxed knowing you are in great hands. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup and told me that they will definitely use her again for any of their occasions. Bottom line Nour does an amazing work and you should have no doubt you will look your prettiest that day!

Simply put, Nour is an amazing makeup artist. There is no one else who can make me look like my absolute best self. When I got engaged I knew that she would be the one to do my makeup, in fact I booked her the day after I got engaged. I have had great experiences with her over the past five years (bridesmaid 5x over) and every year her technique improves in ways unimaginable-she understands skin, texture, bone structure and above all-color. She is well worth the money!

Please book her before she becomes famous:)

Nour is an amazingly gifted make up artist. She knew exactly what to do with my make up and my bridesmaids' make up. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful our make up looked and it stayed on flawlessly the entire night through the rain and the dancing!

I would highly highly recommend Nour for any event. I can't wait for my sister to get married so we can work with Nour again!

Nour is both gifted and professional while using her make up skills. Her constant encouragement on how I looked, helped build my confidence in myself on my wedding day! :-)

Nour is so talented, she was the easiest vendor decision I made. She made me feel so beautiful, comfortable and glamorous. She gave me the exact look I wanted while also going above and beyond. She is so fun to have around on the wedding day and makes you feel very special. She also did my makeup for the rehearsal dinner and it was out of this world.

If you want perfect makeup for your wedding, hire Nour!!!

The makeup that Nour applied during the trial was GREAT. I kept staring at the mirror and I couldn't imagine it would be better on my wedding day. On my big day, Nour was at my house on time. My mother in law was there and she kept saying (OH MY GOD!! IT IS AMAZING!!) while Nour was applying the makeup. When I looked at the mirror, I couldn't believe this was me!!! I was soooooo amazed by what she did that I started to cry of happiness. I looked like a queen even though I was still wearing my shirt and jeans!!!!. When I walked down the stairs, my husband didn't stop staring at my face whispering (you look gorgeous!!). EVERYONE attended the wedding said to me (you look like a QUEEN!!),(you look like you just jumped out of a bridal magazine). I think the makeup is the most important thing in such an important day. Also, Nour is very warm, understanding, talented and very artistic that she even fixed my hair and put my vail. I felt so comfortable when she was applying the makeup on my wedding day.

Nour is one of the most talented professionals I've had the pleasure of meeting. She is humble and refreshingly honest about what palette of colors best suits each individual. I went for a consultation for my wedding makeup and was instantly at ease with her. Fully "madeup" I looked as fresh and gorgeous as any bride would want to be on her day. She makes your complexion truly flawless and knows exactly how to make your natural shine through on camera! Highly recommended!!

Nour was so professional yet at the same time warm and fun! she was very calm and collected..exactly the type of person you need around on a hectic day like your wedding day! I am going to be a repeat customer for sure.

Having MadeUpArt as my wedding makeup artist was the best decision I made! She was the one vendor I did not need to worry about… She was responsive, professional and knew exactly how to handle a nervous bride. She kept me calm, made me pretty and thanks to her great work my makeup stayed on through all the crying and dancing! Thank you Nour from MadeUpArt for being the most amazing makeup artist.

Nour was amazing. I was very happy with her services. She was a calming force on a busy day! She listens to your vision and can totally carry out anything you ask. She is extremely good and compared to the many many make-up artists I have tried, the most dependable, reliable, and talented. She is amazing with shadows. My makeup did not need to be touched up the whole night. Instead of worrying about my blush, I spent the whole night on the dance floor! I highly recommend her!

Nour is complete perfection when it comes to everything listed and make up in general. She is so talented, kind & thoughtful! She is truly a joy to be around and I ALWAYS feel beautiful when I get up from her chair. She has always made me feel great and I'd never go to anyone else! I doubt ANYBODY else can paint on a flawless bright red lip! She did a great job at my wedding and if you are interested in pics of me with her work on you can go here:

What a fabulous make-up artist! I had so many compliments on my make-up alone. And it lasted ALL day in to the evening. Couldn't have been happier, Nour is the best!

Nour is the best make-up artist in the DC area. She was so helpful with both my wedding makeup and the makeup for the boudior session - her recommendations were spot on and I thought I looked amazing for both. I love the type of makeup that Nour used and she was exactly right when she promised that it would not come off or smudge during our extremely hot outdoor wedding. Even through the sweating it stayed on! I would definitely recommend that brides book Nour, but book her early as she is extremely popular!

Nour does really stunning, beautiful Make-up! I just moved here to the area and am searching for a make-up artist for my best friend here on this site.

I wish I would have found her for my wedding. You must check out her porfolio, she's amazing!

Nour's service was exceptional. I would recommend her to anyone who really would like to look their best. You tell her what you need and she executes with no exceptions. She was extremely flexible, responsive, and professional. I can't wait to work with her again.

Nour is an absolute delight to work with and truly understood what I was looking for in my wedding make up and my bridesmaids' wedding make up! I was thrilled that she gave my bridesmaids individual, beautiful looks according to their different faces, and my own make up was right out of a high-fashion shoot. I have never looked so good! Thank you, Nour, for making me and my bridesmaids feel our absolute prettiest on my wedding day! And thank you also for your punctuality, value, professionalism, great attitude, and excellent job working with my other vendors (hair stylist and photographer, specifically). Ladies, if you want flawless make up and service, look no further!! :)

She made my wedding party look beautiful! We all loved our makeup, which she specialized to compliment our unique features and styles. She was also a very calming and friendly vendor to work with. I very highly recommend her services.

Nour is AMAZING make up artists..Thank you to make me fabulous on my bid day!!

Nour did makeup for my mom, sister and me on my wedding day. Everyone said we had never looked more beautiful! Her work is stunning, photographed beautifully, and lasted all day and night! Every girl deserves the confidence you get when you have perfect makeup, so I highly recommend Nour to all future brides!

Nour did a fantastic job applying makeup for my entire wedding party! I had bridesmaids of different ethnicities and skin tones, and every girl's makeup looked absolutely beautiful! Everyone was very happy with the final outcome!

Nour was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I was thrilled with my makeup for my wedding! She did makeup for me and for three other people on my wedding day. Everyone looked absolutely amazing. The photos also turned out great. I was really happy with her work and would highly recommend her to other brides or to anyone who needs make-up done for a special event.

Nour is amazingly talented! My makeup as well as my bridal party's was stunning. Her ability to do any type of makeup is tremendous! My bridal party was a multi- racial and ethnic group- and no one's makeup was less than gorgeous! Nour's makeup is made for photographs and looked perfect throughout the evening without any touch-ups! The hotel wedding coordinator as well as my planner felt that she is on-par with Carl Ray without all the pomp. Nour is kind, professional and very very easy to work with- a bride's dream. Book her and Remona for hair- you will be a vision on your big day!

Nour did a wonderful job on the most important day of my life! I loved the makeup she did and I could not ask for anything more! It was perfect! Not only is Nour incredibly talented, she is incredibly sweet, calm, patient and fun to be around, which is the type of person every bride needs around her. In addition, she did an amazing job on my sister and sister-in-laws! They were just as happy and pleased as I was! Thanks again for everything Nour! You are awesome, and I can't wait to see you again for future events!

Nour from MadeUpArt did an AMAZING JOB for me and all of my 5 bridesmaids for my wedding day - I have never seen myself or them look more stunning and of course, the make-up lasted all-day long!!! Even most importantly, my bridesmaids come from diverse background nationalities and yet, she brought out the beauty in everyone. I'll definitely be using her make-up services again in the future and any time I need to look GORGEOUS!!! And an added bonus, she works super efficiently, we were actually ahead of schedule due to my beauty team on the big day - and that never happens! Go with Nour for your make-up on your wedding day, you will not regret it!!

Nour did a wonderful job on my and my mother's wedding day make-up. I didn't know where I would be getting ready for the wedding until the day of and Nour was completely flexiable. She let me caller the day of to give her the location and was even flexiable about the time when she found out we were stuck in traffic.

She did our make-up very quickly and it looked amazing! I have terriable skin so a good make-up artist was a high priority for me. I got so many compliments on how great the make-up looked and even though I had been dancing through most of the event the make-up still looked great at the end the night.

I would recommend Made Up Art to anyone looking for a great make-up artist.

Nour did an amazing job at my wedding. She was on time and professional. She worked through all the girls and the make up lasted all night long, and totally flawless, everyone was commenting on it. She knows what looks good and is experienced to cover a wide range of skin tones and complexes. I was so pleased with her!

Nour did a wonderful job with my makeup. I absolutely loved it.

Nour was amazing!! She did my make-up for my bridal shower and wedding. I got so many compliments, it was unbelievable. I don't wear make-up on a daily basis, so I wanted something that looked great, but still natural, and she did exactly what I wanted! Also, the make-up that she used lasted forever, it was great, especially for someone who sweats up a storm when they dance. The make-up also looked great in pictures. In addition to the wonderful quality of service, Nour is super sweet and helpful. I flinch like crazy, but she was patient and calm with me. She has a ton of experience and is meticulous and detail-oriented. I would definitely recommend her to any bride.

Great make up! Nour did an excellent job and my bridesmaids were very happy as well!

Nour did an exceptional job! She did make-up for myself, three bridesmaids, and my mother in less than three hours and they were all flawless. Nour catered our make-up to our individual styles and outfits and we all turned out stunning. When we walked down the isle, each of our partners could not stop staring and my husband (to-be) was stunned. I highly recommend Nour to anyone that wants to look and feel beautiful on their wedding.

And added bonus – Nour defined my cheekbones and hid my double chin so I have hardly any photographs that I hate (out of thousands). She worked miracles.

Great work and a very positive attitude. I highly recommend Nour to thte brides to be!

Made Up Art made me a very happy bride on my wedding day. I loved my makeup and the service I got and I HIGHLY refer Made Up Art to any bride. Noor is extremely talented. She is a true artist:)

The make-up services provided were exceptional!! I never imagined that the make-up would look that great! She was so professional and did an amazing job. I could not have been happier or more satisfied with the service. Wow. Truly an A+ vendor. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to everyone needing beauty services. She is one of a kind.

Nour is very professional and easy to work with. I explained the look I wanted and it came out perfect - I used Nour for my wedding day and bridal portraits and received many compliments. She also uses high quality products. I recommend Nour to all my friends and brides-to-be!

Nour was fantastic and I would recommend her services completely! After getting my make-up done I felt beautiful and it lasted all day in 96+ degree heat and humidity...you can't ask for any better!

I had a great experience with Nour at MadeUpArt. She did a wonderful job with me and the whole wedding party! I would recommend her to anyone!! Thanks Nour for doing such a great job!!!

Nour was wonderful in that she is highly skilled and takes your feedback and personal preferences and balances it with her own knowledge and skillset. I felt so pretty and was transformed! She has a calm disposition and is wonderful to work with.

Nour is amazing and so helpful!!

Nour was amazing! Not only did my make up look fabulous, she's such a great person and wonderful to work with. She was so calm and steady in the chaos of my pre-wedding prep - I would have been a wreck without her!

Great work on myself, my bridesmaids, and my mother in law!

Her job is definitley good. However I would recommend after doing a demo that a another (complimetary) demo be done just to make sure that make up artist and client are on the same page. Other than that I was happy with her job and got a lot of compliments! I would definitley recommend to others.

When my sister and I first meet with Nour and we were greeted with her friendly character. However, over time she changed 180 degrees! On my wedding day when everyone was trying to take care of me, Nour almost made me cry! On my trial she put the makeup on rather quickly and did not give me a chance to change things or make any comments. On my wedding I was really nervous and her attitude did not help at all. I would have appreciated if she was more understanding and cooperative. I asked her couple questions and it seemed like she got really agitated and told me I was talking too much. I just wished she was more understanding to realize that since my trial was really short and I was really nervous on my wedding day talking would have helped to calm my nerves. My sister was so bothered by her attitude that she wrote a review for her which got disputed by Nour. It seems like she's trying to hide the reality. I would not recommend her because of her change of attitude.

Nour is a serious artist, her creativity is really unique!!! Thanks for a great year in 2011 and look forward to many more weddings and photoshoots in 2012 ! -Always a pleasure :)

I've had the pleasure of being witness to the magical hands of Nour Kazoun for quite a while, and as a fellow vendor in the wedding industry, and knowing very well the importance of satisfying our bride and grooms, I can tell you first hand that one of the main reasons Nour continues to stand out amongst the rest, is simply because her work is unmatched. Her brides always look phenomenal, so if you're a bride, look no further when you are looking for your make up artist. PS: If her portfolio doesn't capture your attention, her amazing personality certainly will.

She works magic!

Nour is an extremely talented makeup artist, with whom I've worked with multiple times on both wedding and other professional photos hoots. Not only is she incredibly talented with a brush, she's also a true professional and and easy and fun to work with. I highly recommend Nour to all of my clients.

I have had the opportunity of working with Nour on several events and she’s top on my list of makeup artists!!!! She is artistic, creative, and has a lot of experience. Every one that I have seen Nour worked on looked absolutely stunning, that’s why I highly recommend her to any bride.

Nour and I had a mutual bride not long ago. It was the first time I had a chance to sit and watch a make-up artist get my bride ready. I was fascinated by her work. She was so thorough and meticulous and I was majorly impressed by her talent. Nour's warm personality and artistic ability is a wonderful combination for any concerned bride. She will take all the worries away. My bride felt the most beautiful and confident on her wedding day. I highly recommend Nour to any bride.

Nour is such an awesome make up artist and a pleasure to work with. She has done my make-up for several occasions and I always feel fabulous afterwards. She is very easy going and listens when I talk to her about the look I am going for.
