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.
