With over 20 years of industry experience and having worked on hundreds of weddings and with women with very different skin tones and personal styles, Amber is well versed in finding the perfect makeup – and hair, if required – look for your wedding day.
The end goal is to look like the best version of you, and talking to a professional will definitely help when it comes to deciding what approach you would like to take and what works with your dress and venue, too.
Some brides feel more comfortable wearing a natural makeup look with a neutral eye and lip, while others prefer to take a more bold approach. During a makeup trial, Amber will talk you through some ideas and also ask you some questions about your skin type, how much makeup you are used to wearing and what skin prep you are doing in the lead up to your big day. In a truly collaborative approach, she will then help create the perfect look tailored uniquely to you.
Amber is also available to travel to your chosen destination throughout New Zealand, however travel fees will apply.
A deposit/booking fee is required to secure your wedding hair & makeup with me. I cannot pencil in dates unfortunately.
Amber regularly works with some of New Zealand’s most inspiring female entrepreneurs and public figures to create the right look for any occasion. They often travel to her centrally based home studio, but she can also come to you (although travel fees may apply).
Amber also offers group workshops in-house if employees at your company need a little extra help creating a fresh new professional image. We all love to look well presented at work, and having an effortless makeup look can be a great confident boost, too.
