NYCOLE REYES

ADVOCATE, HAIR AND MAKEUP ARTIST

MODEL: NYCOLE REYES PHOTO BY MILITZA ARENAS

“The absolutely best saying that I live by is, “If your dream doesn’t scare you then you aren’t dreaming big enough.” Not that we want to live in fear, but only when you dream beyond what you are capable of can God take it to levels you could never obtain on your own.”

Nycole Reyes is a Hair and Makeup artist, using her talent to shine light on some important topics in society! Nycole is a mental health and human rights activist, based in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. She is not your typical glitter and glamour beauty professional, In fact, most of her work highlights the ugly truth of some of the biggest issues we have today! Her work covers topics such as Domestic Violence, Human Trafficking, Depression and so much more. Nycole and her team have done several Awareness shoots around Texas and she has dreams to expand and travel for future shoots. “I am hoping to be able to do some traveling this summer. My photo shoots are completely free to all of the Models, Photographers, and Hair and Makeup Artists. Everything comes out of our own pockets. Traveling will take some planning ahead, but it’s definitely on my to-do list! I have been putting in the work, connecting with people all over the United States so we can do photoshoots nationwide! It is a very big undertaking, so it may take a while to get that planned out.” Nycole has even included her family in her shoots and enjoys sharing her passion with them. “I have 2 children that are both Models. My daughter has been in all of my awareness shoots and my son has been able to participate in 1 so far. My original goal for the awareness photoshoots was to start using our platforms for something important. Most of the Models and Photographers we have come in contact with are only focused on building their portfolios with typical pictures. Not that there’s anything wrong with doing that, but we wanted to do something bigger, something important. We still do different types of photo shoots to add variety to our portfolios, but we want impactful work in there as well.” AMBITION WITHOUT LIMITS MAGAZINE
