Artistry

Greetings! Iโ€™m Shona, a fully qualified makeup artist with 15 years of experience specialising in bridal and special occasion makeup. Based in the picturesque Matakana, just an hour north of Auckland, I have had the pleasure of enhancing brides' beauty for nearly two decades. My passion for bridal makeup knows no bounds, and I am devoted to making your special day absolutely perfect. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and bring your vision to life!


We offer more than just makeup services.

Say hello to
Little Takatu.

Nestled in one of the most picturesque locations along the Matakana coast, Little Takatu Studio offers an ideal setting for brides preparing for their special day. The studio's serene and tranquil ambiance ensures a sense of calm and relaxation, providing the perfect environment to ease any pre-ceremony nerves.

โ€œI don't even know where to begin with how incredible Shona was! Right from the trial I felt incredibly comfortable & relaxed. I don't wear make up very often & so was a bit nervous I wouldn't feel like myself. Shona immediately made me feel at ease & I was so happy with how my make up turned out, she even had to do a last minute repair on a few of us as we shed a few happy tears before leaving. Shona did my myself, my Mum & my five bridesmaids and made it look like an absolute breeze while the girls all look incredibly beautiful.

I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend having Shona be part of your day!โ€
