Laura King

Feeling effortlessly beautiful and completely at ease in your own skin is the ultimate luxury—and it’s at the heart of my makeup philosophy.
I specialise in enhancing your natural features to highlight your individual radiance, creating looks that are refined, timeless, and unmistakably you.

There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone glow with confidence. Whether it’s a wedding, red carpet, or special event, my goal is always the same: makeup that empowers, not overpowers.

Every look I create is tailored to you, with the core intention that you feel confident, comfortable, and like the very best version of yourself.

Whether you're drawn to timeless elegance, modern glamour, or something uniquely your own, my priority is always the same—that you feel authentically and confidently you.

With over 12 years of experience, my approach blends technical precision with an intuitive understanding of people. Every look begins with thoughtful consultation—listening to your vision and tailoring each detail to suit your features, skin, and style. I’ve worked with all skin tones and types, and use only premium products including MAC, NARS, and Charlotte Tilbury. As a fully qualified beauty therapist, your skin is in expert hands from prep to final touch.

My career has taken me from leading salons to working alongside top creatives across weddings, television, film, editorial, and high-profile events. Highlights include makeup work on acclaimed productions such as The Gone, Adidas, Kathmandu, Under The Vines, and Forgive Us All.

But beyond credentials and credits, what matters most to me is the experience you have in my chair—feeling truly seen, cared for, and absolutely radiant.

Based in Queenstown, I travel across New Zealand and now internationally to the UK and USA as a freelance artist. In 2022, I designed and built a mobile costume, hair, and makeup truck—perfect for on-location film productions and events across the South Island. If you're planning something special, I’d love to bring this bespoke experience to you.
