EXPERIENCE
I am based in the breathtakingly beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand - I'm your go to makeup artist for creating natural, glowing bridal looks wherever your special day takes you. I am happy to travel to your location, with travel costs additional to your booking total. Since each destination is unique, I'll tailor my travel time just for you from my home address - simply reach out for a quote.
As a destination makeup artist, I am also available for travel nationally and internationally, bringing my expertise wherever it is needed - Across New Zealand, Australia, UK and Europe.
I will be situated in the UK and Europe during the months of June and July. For your dreamy destination wedding or elopement.
Absolutely! Imagine your bridal trial as a test run of your look before the special day - a chance to wear the look and have a play with any inspiration ideas you might have. Not only does it give us the opportunity to meet for the first time - test running the look leaves nothing to chance on what is set to be one of the most memorable days of your life.
I recommend booking your bridal preview 1 - 2 months out from your wedding date if possible. I offer preview bookings through Monday - Wednesdays.
I can accommodate all elopement and wedding bookings. My maximum number of services per booking is six. I require a minimum of four services for bookings during peak wedding season through Thursday - Saturdays.
As a bridal makeup artist, I understand that every wedding is unique, so if your bridal party is larger than six OR you have a short preparation time, I am happy to seek an assistant to help with the booking. This way, we can make sure everyone looks their absolute best with no stress.
I always allow one hour per person for makeup application. I also like to save a little time at the end of services for some touch ups before you get into your dress.
I recommend leaving one hour before your ceremony time and after makeup and hair is completed to give yourself time to get into your dress and take the moment in before heading to your venue.
This may depend on your hair stylist, schedule and the weather on the day. However, if you are asking the preference of a makeup artist, it would be to have makeup done last.
Please make sure to book both your hair and makeup services one after the other, and not at the same time. It can can get a little tricky at times to have both working on you at once.
If you are looking for the natural look, yet enhanced, I would recommend going with the individual false lashes I carry to give you a soft but elevated look, and you can't feel them on at all!
Please note, you should not get a LVL lash lift beforehand if you would like individual false lashes as this can affect the application. I personally recommend individual lashes over lash extensions as they can sometimes make your eyes look and feel very heavy.
Individual false lashes are included in the total amount.
I offer elopement and wedding day packages, OR we can tailor your wedding booking to suit your needs best.
My elopement package is a service which includes a bridal preview, wedding day makeup application, travel expenses and final touch ups at the very last moment.
My wedding day package is a service which includes up to five makeup services, travel expenses and final touch ups at the very last moment. This service is six hours total.

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.
"I WANTED THE NO MAKEUP LOOK, SHE GOT THE BRIEF AND DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB."
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.
"FROM THE MOMENT SHE WALKED IN, PAIGE WAS CALM AND PROFESSIONAL."
ELLA
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.

NATASHA
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.
