Nicky Zera, born on September 26, is a renowned bridal model and makeup artist from Sri Lanka. Hailing from Kurunegala, she studied at The British School in Colombo before pursuing further education at institutions like Sir John Kothalawala College, AAT Kurunegala, American College Kandy Campus, and ICBT Kurunegala Campus. Alongside her studies, she started her career as a makeup artist in 2015 and established her venture, Ceylon Ourania, in 2019, quickly becoming a highly sought-after professional for bridal makeup.
Zera’s work has taken her far and wide, even to Dubai, where she spent some time working as a flight handler for Emirates from 2016 to 2018. Despite these experiences, she always found herself returning to her roots in Kurunegala. Her remarkable talent in the beauty industry didn’t go unnoticed on social media platforms either. With 8,000 followers on Instagram and 2,000 on Facebook, she has successfully created a digital community, although she is not present on TikTok or YouTube.
