Absolutely! Think of the bridal makeup preview as a dress rehearsal for your big day—beauty edition. The preview is a chance to design your desired bridal look, fine-tuning the details so you feel completely confident and satisfied on your wedding day. We’ll discuss your bridal vision, test products, and ensure everything works perfectly with your skin, dress, and overall aesthetic. No second-guessing, no beauty stress on your wedding day.

For brides, I allow 60–75 minutes to ensure a flawless application. Bridesmaids and other wedding party members typically take 45–50 minutes each. I always build extra time into the beauty timeline so there’s no rushing—just a smooth, seamless morning.

For weekend weddings (Friday-Sunday), I require a minimum booking of three services. There is no minimum requirement for a week day wedding or elopement.

I can accommodate larger bridal parties of up to seven people. For even larger parties (8+ faces), I can accommodate with the help of an assistant, which I can collaborate with you to select. If you have a big group, let’s chat—I’ll make it work!

I’m based in Wanaka, NZ but happily travel to Hawea, Queenstown, Alexandra and other locations in Central Otago. Please reach out to discuss travel options.

My signature style is soft glam.

Soft glam sits in the middle ground between “natural” and “glamorous,” without tipping too far in either direction.

While it isn’t natural makeup in the truest sense, it can have a beautifully skin-like finish when the technique is right.

The result is a radiant, defined, camera-friendly glow without heaviness or harsh lines.

Think:

• Medium to full coverage foundation, layered carefully for a polished, non-cakey finish

• Cream products layered with powders for longevity

• Soft contour and bronzer

• Neutral tones like browns, pinks, golds, and champagnes that complement your natural skin tone

• Lashes that open the eyes without feeling too bold

• Softly smoked eyeliner rather than harsh wings

It’s a style that looks polished and photographs well while still feeling like you—with a bit of glam.

Of course, you could—but your wedding day isn’t just any day. Professional makeup isn’t just about looking beautiful; it’s about feeling confident, stress-free, and knowing your makeup will last. I use quality products and techniques designed for long wear, photography, and real life, so you won’t have to think twice about flashbacks in photos or your makeup melting off through happy tears. Ultimately, on a day as special as this, why not relax and let someone else take care of you?

Bridal makeup is more than just the application. It’s a luxury, on-location service designed for one of the most photographed and emotional days of your life.

When you book bridal makeup, you’re investing in:

• Expertise: A skilled artist who knows how to enhance your features while ensuring your makeup lasts from “I do” to the last dance.

• Premium, Long-Wearing Products: I use high-performance products that are tested for longevity, so your makeup stays put through happy tears, hugs, and hours of celebration. If you were to purchase the same high-end products yourself, you’d likely spend far more than the cost of professional makeup, and you’d still have to apply it yourself during the busy wedding morning.

• Personalized Service: From in-depth consultations to timeline planning and bridal guides, I ensure an easy experience.

• On-Site Convenience & Reliability: I travel to you, bringing a fully stocked, sanitized professional kit and experience handling wedding day chaos with calm confidence. My job isn’t just to apply makeup—it’s to create a smooth start to your day.

When you book bridal makeup, you’re investing in expertise, reliability, and peace of mind.

That’s priceless on your wedding day.

I have chosen to specialise in luxury wedding makeup, but I work alongside some incredibly talented bridal hairstylists that I trust and am happy to recommend. If you’re looking for a seamless beauty experience, let me know; I can point you in the right direction.

I believe in using what works, not just sticking to one brand. My professional kit is almost primarily luxury products, featuring favorites from MAC, Face Atelier, Kosas, Charlotte Tilbury, Patrick Ta, Makeup by Mario, RMCA, and Rare Beauty. That said, other brands have really stepped up their game, so occasionally I pull the best of the best from brands like Morphe, L’Oréal, and Mecca. If the product performs and achieves longevity and a flawless finish, then it’s a winner.

A signed contract + 30% non-refundable booking deposit on the total number of services is required to secure your wedding date in my diary. Your date is not confirmed until the contract is signed and the booking deposit paid. I recommend booking as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
