2022 Highlights! | Utah Makeup & Hair Stylist | Makeup Artist in Utah

Nikra Centeno

2022 was quite the year for NC Studio! I wanted to share some of the fun highlights that took place over the past 12 months!

1) The year started great with the coming out of Post Malone’s interview/cover on Billboard magazine. I had the chance to be his personal groomer for this interview and photoshoot.

2) I work in many print/catalog shoots this year, here I posted some pictures from Donna Fur, an amazing company.

3) The brides I got to meet this year were so fun and I had a blast getting them ready.

4) I GOT MARRIED! Yes! Yes! Yes! I got to be the bride, so I posted some pics with my Steve.

5) I got to travel to St Simons Island for a full week doing work for a clothing company.

6) I got to be on TV! I was on a segment for Good Things Utah showing how to do halloween makeup.

7) I attended Scott Barnes (JLo’s personal makeup artist) MasterClass in Los Angeles, where I got to work with him personally.

I can’t believe we are in the last quarter of the year. It seems like it was yesterday when the issue of Billboard Magazine came out featuring Post Malone. I got to be his personal groomer while they shot at his home in Salt Lake City. Doing hair and makeup in Utah has allowed me to meet all sorts of personas, it is always exciting and fresh not knowing who I get to meet. I am passionate about what I do. Since I did a career switched from engineering to makeup artistry 5 years ago, I look back and see how much I have been able to grow by meeting and interacting with people from all sorts of backgrounds. All I can say is that at the core, we all want the same things in life, happiness, in whatever form that looks like for us.

This shoot was a reminder of doing what you need to do in life to find that peace in your heart. Post Malone shared about why he decided to move to Salt Lake City. Struggling with uneasiness and anxiety in Los Angeles, he then decided to find a more peaceful pace here in the mountains. For him it was moving away from the Los Angeles scene, for me it was swtiching careers, for others it might be leaving an unhealthy relationship or starting a new adventure or staying exactly where you are. Regarless of your circumstances I hope we all can find that peace.

Love,

Nikra

I was fortunate enough to be part of this amazing photoshoot as a Hair and Makeup Artist, CasiDee Rae was just a beautiful canvas to do hair and makeup on. We had a lot of fun chatting and getting to know each other as I was doing her hair and makeup at my studio in Provo. She is one of those people you start talking and then 2 hours later you are still talking to. The makeup for this shoot was inspired by the color pink and mauve tones. This collaboration was dreamy, take a closer look to this amazing vendors.
