About

Chic Cosmetique is a boutique makeup artistry company based in Philadelphia, PA, offering on-location makeup and beauty services across the Philadelphia and Main Line areas. The name and concept were conceived in 2013 during a month-long trip to France, and the company has provided makeup for brides, business professionals, actors and everyday people since that year.

Nicolette travels to clients, and appointments are also offered at a studio in Center City Philadelphia. Long-distance assignments are accepted. Wedding services begin with a consultation, custom skin prep and full makeup suited to the client's taste, and a bridal trial of around two hours gives the bride a chance to discuss and try different looks. Intricate bridal updos are not offered, though hair recommendations for brides can be given.

The studio's corporate and commercial bookings cover on-camera makeup for production crews and performers. Branding and headshot sessions come with a pre-shoot consultation, tailored skin preparation, free skincare suggestions and a full makeup application, and light to moderate hair styling can be added on request for an extra fee. Workshops are offered in four formats: Gorgeous and Glam, Mommy and Me, Natural and Professional, and Teen.

Prior corporate clients listed on the site include Arm and Hammer, Independence Blue Cross, Canon, Olay, Glossier and Chester County Tourism. Makeup has been offered for same-sex couples and LGBTQ weddings, and ethnic makeup has been done for African American, Hispanic, Indian, Middle Eastern and Asian women. The business describes itself as award-winning and states that it aims for the highest standards in professionalism, customer service and makeup artistry.

Each look is tailored to the client's style, comfort level and vision, rather than a standard template, with custom skin prep and services and packages that can be customized.
