From the UK, I have always been a lover of beauty, fashion and creativity. What started for me as a love of makeup slowly became a passion for helping other women feel confident. After moving to New Zealand and starting in the beauty industry, I found the power to build my own bridal makeup business from the bottom. I have now had the privilege of travelling in Queenstown and internationally, creating modern bridal beauty for brides all over the world.

MORE ABOUT
PAIGE
I am a lover of new friendships and connections! As my bride, I want to get to know all about you, and for you to get to know me. Our experience together will be not only professional, but friendly and supportive.
In the free time that I sometimes manage to give myself, I love to read books, workout, go for hot girl walks and matcha dates - as well as spending most of my earnings on new beauty products and clothes!
My favourite Queenstown wedding venues: The Winehouse, Ayrburn and Rippon Hall.
My biggest life achievements so far has been finding the confidence to leave my home soil and travel the world. Starting a thriving business in a dream destination is something I never imagined, and now building my first home in Queenstown - I am so so thankful to be given this life.
HEART
GET TO DISCOVER MY
I believe our experience is all about connection, trust and a whole lot of heart. I have built amazing relationships with my brides, and I am so passionate about turning the ordinary into something special.
Your artist should make you feel completely at ease, understand your vision, and bring it to life in a way that is still you.
There's something so special about being a part of a bride's big day. The transformations, the emotions, and seeing how makeup can make someone feel radiant. It's more than just a job for me, it is a privilege to share such meaningful moments, and it's what continues to inspire me every day.
WHY we're the perfect match
Having Paige as my makeup artist for my wedding day was one of the best decisions I made. My makeup was beautiful, exactly what I was after, and stayed flawless all day even through many hours of dancing and sweating on the dance floor! She has a wonderful, calming presence that was so nice to be around through the chaos of the day. I couldn't recommend Paige enough, and would rebook her again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much again for being a part of our day.

Paige did the makeup for my bridesmaids and myself, and she was incredible. Every single bridesmaid looked absolutely stunning, and Paige completely nailed the vision I had in mind. I couldn’t have been happier with my makeup, it felt like the best version of me. Paige’s calm, friendly and easy going nature instantly put me at ease, and she was amazing to have there with me on such a special day. I received so many compliments on my makeup, and it lasted flawlessly from start to finish, all day and night. I couldn’t recommend Paige highly enough, she is so talented and an absolute dream to work with.

Paige did the make up for my wedding - for myself and my three bridesmaids and OMG!! Nothing short of utterly stunning!!! All my girls LOVED the look they asked Paige for and we all still looked fabulous at the end of the night! Paige is super personable, well organised, a great communicator and a brilliant and talented make up artist! We’re now looking for another excuse to get our glam on by Paige! There can be no other make up artist you’d want to use! She was perfect for the occasion.
