Nikki Ciocari is a New York City based makeup artist specializing in beauty, glam, SPFX, and character creation. Her work ranges from polished editorial to cinematic gore, defined by sharp technical skill and a commitment to serving the story, brand, or creative vision behind every project.

She holds a BFA in Industrial Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she built a strong foundation in model making, CAD, 3D printing, and color theory. That technical background naturally informs her approach to special effects and prosthetics, giving her a sculptor’s precision and a designer’s instinct for structure and visual storytelling.

Across all mediums — from clean, camera-ready glam to full-body transformations — Nikki focuses on creating work that is visually striking, durable on set, and deeply intentional. Her artistry extends beyond aesthetics, aiming to bring concepts to life through makeup that is bold, character-driven, and built to perform.

Lets make something unforgettable. Xx
