DUBLIN MAKEUP ARTIST, Skincare Specialist & Content creator
About Nima
Hello, I'm Niamh Martin. For over 20 years, I've been doing what I love most: helping people feel like the best version of themselves. Makeup is my craft, my passion and my lifelong love, and I'm so glad you're here.
“Niamh absolutely nailed it. I have never felt more confident and beautiful and I literally gave her a quick 30 second briefing on what I wanted”

My Journey
I fell in love with beauty and makeup over two decades ago, and that love has only deepened with time. What started as a passion became a career dedicated to one simple philosophy: you should always look like yourself, just beautifully enhanced.
I've never been interested in trends that fade or filters that transform. I'm interested in you. Your features, your personality, your natural beauty. My approach as a makeup artist is about creating looks that are timeless, elegant and authentically yours. Whether you're walking down the aisle, stepping into a boardroom or simply wanting to feel more confident in your everyday life, my goal is always the same.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with incredible brides, teaching women of all ages to master their makeup, and collaborating with brands I admire. But what drives me most is the moment someone looks in the mirror and truly loves what they see. That's why I do this.
More Than Makeup
I'm not just a makeup artist. I'm a skincare professional, an educator and a product developer. For over 15 years, I've trained internationally for leading skincare and makeup brands across Ireland and the UK, designing courses and teaching professionals the art and science of beauty.
This educational background means I don't just apply makeup, I understand skin. I know how products work, what ingredients do, and how to choose what's right for you. It's this knowledge I bring to every client, every lesson and every wedding morning.
I'm also the founder of Nima Brush, an award-winning brush brand born from my passion for quality, artistry and innovation. Building my own brand taught me what truly matters: craftsmanship, integrity and creating something that genuinely serves people. That same commitment shows up in everything I do.
Nima Brush: A Journey
Nima Brush was born in 2012, after over a decade working in makeup education. I had designed, built and run courses across many colleges in and around Dublin, and adding brushes into the mix just made sense. What followed over the next 12 years was beyond anything I could have imagined—working with top influencers, growing a massive social media following, winning multiple awards, and developing brush sets and individual brushes that became beloved by so many.
By 2024, Nima Brush had exceeded all my expectations of what a brand could be. It was an incredible journey—but in 2024, I made the decision to pull Nima Brush back.
Now, Nima Brushes are available for colleges, wholesale and for makeup artists and salons who wish to retail. Select sets can be found on our Shopify account, and if there’s a particular brush you can’t live without, just reach out and we’ll make it happen.
Nima Brush ain’t dead, baby—it’s just taking a break. If you’re interested in a wholesale account, feel free to enquire. Thank you for all your years of support and dedication to Nima Brush.
Let's Work Together
When I'm not behind a makeup brush, you'll find me sharing tips on Instagram, creating content for brands I believe in, or spending time with my family.
What I love most about this industry is the people. The brides who trust me with their biggest day. The women who leave my lessons feeling empowered. The brands who value honest, expert guidance. Every face, every story, every moment matters to me.
If you're looking for a makeup artist who genuinely cares about making you feel incredible, I'd love to work with you.
