I’m Michelle, a makeup coach and freelance artist based in the Bay of Plenty. I help everyday women feel confident in their own skin and with their makeup.

If your skin is changing, your products feel confusing or you’ve never known where to start, you’re in the right place. My approach is warm, practical and personalised to you.

KIND WORDS

What women are saying

I walked in not knowing how to apply foundation and walked out with a face chart, a brush set, and most importantly the confidence to actually use them. Michelle has such a gift for teaching. I have never felt so seen.

Sarah M. Full Makeup Lesson, Tauranga

“I had no idea my undertone was cool until Michelle showed me. Every foundation I had been buying was wrong. One session changed everything.”

Lisa R. Colour Match Session

“I am 52 and was sure I was too old to learn new tricks. So wrong. I now do my makeup in ten minutes and actually love how I look.”
