Hi, I’m Megan. I’m a qualified Makeup Artist based in Hawke’s Bay. My kit is 100% cruelty free! My passion lies in creating makeup looks that boost your confidence and help you feel like the best version of yourself. After working with other brands for the past decade, I had an “a-ha” moment. Why compromise our furry friends for a beauty fix? In my kit you will find brands such as NZ made Aleph, Hourglass, Too Faced, Anastasia Beverly Hills and many more to deliver you makeup that not only looks good but feels good too.

You can get in touch with me here.

Or, you can book via the online booking system here.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need a makeup trial for my Wedding? Absolutely, makeup trials are highly recommended for brides. It’s best to schedule your bridal makeup trial when you have another event, giving you a chance to experience the makeup’s longevity. Others like Mothers of the Bride/Groom are welcome for trials too. Please note, weekend availability may be limited during peak wedding season.

Do you offer hair services? I specialize in Makeup Services only. I’m more than happy to connect you with excellent hairstylists in Hawke’s Bay or assist in finding other vendors you may require.

How much time should I allow for Makeup? Makeup usually takes an hour per person, with Bridal trials requiring 90 minutes. On your wedding day, allocate extra time for lipstick touch-ups at the end (around 30 minutes). It’s recommended to finish makeup at least an hour before the ceremony. A final timeline will be coordinated with you via email.

Do you have a minimum booking requirement? For studio appointments in Havelock North, there’s no minimum booking. However, if on-location makeup is desired, a minimum of three people is required for bookings from 2023. Travel fees of $1 per km may apply.

Will my makeup last all day? Rest assured, your makeup is expertly applied with premium primers and cruelty-free products for long-lasting wear. The skincare and makeup in my kit are also gentle on sensitive skin. A touch-up kit with your chosen lip shade is included in every booking. If you’re prone to oiliness or heat sensitivity, investing in a pressed powder, like the Mecca Brand Translucent Pressed Powder, is recommended.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or if there’s anything else you’d like to know.
