2026/27 Dates Now Available Nelson Makeup Artist
Soft Wedding Glam Across Te Tauihu
From Nelson and across the top of the south, my aim is to celebrate the natural beauty in every wāhine—enhancing with a steady hand, a calm presence, and a deep respect for each individual’s unique vision.
Kia ora, I’m Lilly
I’m a professional makeup artist based in Te Whakatū Nelson, specialising in natural and radiant bridal makeup.
My approach to makeup has always been about enhancing, not masking. From doing friends’ makeup as a teen to now working with brides, my focus is creating looks that feel like you—just elevated, polished, and long-lasting.

I believe wedding makeup is all about balance—natural-looking glam, that is long-lasting and photographs beautifully. To achieve that I use high-end products and build in thin layers, to create a radiant, skin-like finish. I favour a fresh hydrated look, and always tailor my technique to suit your skin type.
Your vision is at the heart of it all — so if my style feels like a fit, let’s chat.
