Makeup Looks to Inspire You

You may have started to collate some images of makeup inspiration and your favourite looks. Images that inspire you and that are something you would love to emulate and are a perfect way to help your makeup artist gain an understanding of what look you are going for. The goal is to try and find examples of clients that look similar to you, in terms of skin tone, hair tone and age, as this helps translate a similar vision to suit you too.

It is also a great idea to compare these inspirational images to photos of yourself when you loved how your makeup looked, think about what you loved most about the look, and what elements of it you would carry over to your chosen look for your special occasion.

WHY we're the perfect match

Paige did makeup for my wedding in Queenstown, and she was incredible. I wanted the no makeup look, she got the brief and did a beautiful job. I was complimented all throughout the day. It is such a shame we are leaving New Zealand soon as I would definitely be seeing Paige again.

Paige is an incredible makeup artist, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked in, she was calm and professional. I didn't have time for a makeup trial with Paige, due to travelling from Australia, but she listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what to do. I honestly felt so beautiful, I got so many compliments from guests at how flawless my makeup looked.

Paige was exceptional and I was beyond happy with my makeup look. She did such a beautiful job for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding. She is very friendly and it was lovely to spend the morning with her too. I will only go back to Paige for any future makeup needs.

I was incredibly lucky to have Paige as my makeup artist for my wedding. She did such an amazing job not only on myself, but for my bridesmaids too. I had a trial with Paige a few months prior to the wedding, and all correspondence with Paige was easy and she put at ease all of my concerns. I absolutely loved my makeup on the day. If you need your makeup done for any special occasion or event, I would highly recommend Paige.
