MAKEUP STUDIO

MAKEUP STUDIO

We’re here for real-life beauty moments - from “I want to feel more like myself again” to “I’ve got a thing I’d like to feel fabulous showing up at.”

Our makeup services are about enhancing your features with the clever use of colour, never masking - and you’re likely to learn a trick or two and have a giggle along the way.

"I had a great experience here. I came in with not much knowledge about makeup and left feeling confident about the products I had brought. The staff were patient, skilled and stylish."

Miriama

We work with brands created by makeup artists - Monika Blunder, Ere Perez, Kjaer Weis, Gee Beauty, and (M)anasi 7 - because as makeup artists, we know pigment and texture.

You’ll leave feeling seen, not shellacked - with makeup that moves with you, not against you. It’s about amplifying what’s already there, not painting over it.

Because we’re not chasing TikTok or influencer trends. We’re here to help you feel like yourself - just a little more confident, a little more luminous.

FAQ
What makeup brands do you use?

We’re believers in leaning into expertise in beauty, so our makeup brands
are created by makeup artists - because when it comes to pigment, texture, and real-world wear, artists know best. Our kit includes Monika Blunder, Ere Perez, (M)anasi 7, Gee Beauty, and Kjaer Weis. Every product we use earns its place - beautiful textures, skin-loving formulas, and colours that actually work for real faces.
How far in advance should I book a makeup appointment?

If you’re syncing with a big event, hair appointment, or photographer, book 1–2 months out - especially for Fridays and Saturdays (our busiest). Feeling spontaneous? You might still score a spot 1–2 weeks out - give it a go!
Are you experienced with mature skin?

Absolutely. We’ve been in the beauty game for 20+ years, and we’ve worked with every skin type under the sun - dry, oily, textured, hormonal, and everything in between. We’re especially known for helping women over 40 feel like themselves (just more luminous).
Do you offer makeup for weddings?

Yes! While we don’t travel off-site, we’re more than happy to host you and your bridal crew in-store. Bring your hairstylist, pop some bubbly, and relax in our mezzanine lounge while we get you camera-ready. Call us on 04 210 1619 or email hello@iris-beauty.co.nz to chat through the details.
Can I combine makeup with other treatments?

You sure can. We often apply makeup after facials, or pair it with a lash tint or brow shape for a complete polish. Just note that each service needs to be booked separately - if you’re unsure about timing, call us or email and we’ll help coordinate it all.
