WEDDING MAKEUP

I love the beauty that comes with romance - the “Lovers Glow”.

Throughout my career journey, I have developed a love for wedding makeup. I bring your vision to reality through my makeup brush, it's something that I am always honoured to be a part of, seeing the confidence shine through after the makeup application.

I'm obsessed with the beauty of skin, I focus on a flawless, dewy finish, which photographs so beautifully whilst bringing out your own beauty with my makeup enhancing skills, you'll be glowing inside and out.

My style is elegant and timeless, with a modern twist. Amplifying your beauty, and creating the best version of you.

MY PROCESS

It starts with you reaching out to me, if what you see aligns with yourself and values, we can go forward and discuss all of your ideas, about your day and all that you want it to be. From here we get to know each other and can start to plan.

I love to know more about you, your special occasion, dates, location, details of your day and of course the makeup.

Please enquire via my contact form on my website.

FAQ’s

Makeup on bride by Kirsty Penetito Queenstown Makeup Artist in Queenstown, New Zealand
  • Absolutely! I always recommend booking a pre-wedding makeup trial to meet each other, discuss the style that you are looking for, and see how it is going to look before your big day!

    I always recommend bringing makeup inspiration to show the makeup artist, It could be a collection of pictures that have caught your eye. From there I can discuss what you love about that particular makeup look and make it a reality.

    I will take great care in making sure I capture your expectations and your vision. I am solely focused on delivering what you desire on your big day. Enhancing and capturing your natural beauty is key for me.



    By doing a trial, it means that I can ensure that you have 100% peace of mind on the day of your wedding.

  • Over the years I have trialled a range of different products and brands and accumulated a collection of tried and tested favourites in my kit. I have a variety of high-quality brands such as MAC, Nars, Charlotte Tilbury, and Laura Mercier to name a few!

  • I offer false lashes or individual temporary lashes as an additional add-on to your makeup look. These enhance your natural eyes, make your makeup stand out, and look beautiful in photos.

  • I am based in Queenstown, New Zealand but can travel to wherever you like on your special day. Our travel rates are based on location. Please get in contact for an estimated quote.

  • I recommend fresh, cleansed skin free from product the morning of your wedding. This way I can tailor your skincare products to your skin needs and ensure that they don’t interfere with your makeup look and longevity. If you want to get your skin “wedding ready” I also recommend getting facials by a trusted skin therapist regularly at least 3 months leading up to the big day. Always remember not to try any new or invasive procedures the week of the wedding.
