Testimonials

"I had an interview that was being filmed and broadcast and I contacted Briar M Makeup Artistry one day before the interview due to another artist cancelling last minute. Briar replied to me within a few hours and was able to travel to me and do my make-up the next day. I had never met her prior to this, but meeting her was lovely. Her technique with make-up is outstanding. She knew exactly what looked best for my face and helped me to embrace my impurities ( Which I appreciated so much ) Love her! I 110% recommend her she’s amazing." - Waiata Atawhai - Jan 2025

"Briar is an incredible makeup artist! Me and the girls were blown away by how amazing how makeup turned out for my wedding. As well as being great at her job, she is also the sweetest! She is so calming with the girls and also the bride when nerves are really starting to kick in. 10/10 recommend to anyone!" - Zoe Richardson - Jan 2025

"Absolutely loved having Briar for my wedding hair & make-up! She made the process so easy and comfortable, for not only me but my family as well. I can not recommend her enough! Her pricing is very budget-friendly, too. A beautiful person inside and out. I will definitely be returning for any future events. I wouldn't go to anyone else! Super talented!" - Tayla O'Brien - Dec 2024

"Briar is super talented. She has an incredible personality. She listens to what you want. I have seen her in action doing my friend’s bridal makeup trial and wow, stunning! I was lucky to have her do my makeup as a bridesmaid and she makes you look and feel beautiful. Top service, super friendly and all the skills. Looking forward to having my makeup done again by Briar in the future." - Candace Higgie - Sept 2024
