Charlotte Style: There's Something About Niki



There is definitely something about Niki Kapoor...
I was fortunate enough to get to know Niki during this photo shoot for Charlotte Style.  Niki is the owner and designer of Nika Formals, and her gowns are absolutely stunning.  She is an interntional designer and she has dressed some of the top and most glamourous celebrities around.

But that's not the only thing about her.  Niki is one of the most humble and good natured people you will ever come to know.  She has an air about her that puts you at ease, and lets you know she is trustworthy.  She is an animal rights activist (definitely something we have in common) and a human rights activist.

Niki is not content owning her own wildly successful business and making the most gorgeous gowns you've ever seen.  She understands the impact of giving back.  Inspired by her own humble beginnings, she's started an orphanage for girls in India which will allow them education, shelter, food, and clothing - and opportunities they would never have had otherwise.  Her story and cause definitely will tug on your heart strings, and I encourage everyone to research it to learn more.

At this photo shoot, I also got to know Niki's mother.  She has just as good a heart as her daughter, and I loved seeing the special look in her eyes when she looked at her daughter - very heartwarming.  For their makeup designs, I kept their skin fresh and natural using a cream foundation lightly buffed into the skin, and shades of gold and brown on their eyes. I accentuated Niki's beautiful exotic almond eyes with individual lashes.  Both ladies' hair was styled by Larry Webb for Salon Vivace Southpark.

Thank you to Niki, Erin, and Larry for allowing me to take place in this photo shoot, and be part of a very worthy cause.
