Hi, I’m Kate
Recognised as one of the top makeup artists in the wedding industry, I am trusted by brides both across New Zealand and internationally.
My artistry is defined by creating polished, refined makeup that feels luxurious, seamless, and authentically you. I specialise in luxury bridal makeup, special occasion makeup, and bespoke education through hands-on workshops and one-on-one lessons.
Over the years, this personalised and considered approach has allowed me to work closely with clients who value elegance, calm professionalism, and exceptional attention to detail.

“I can't thank Kate Solley enough for making me feel like the best version of myself on my wedding day! From our makeup trial to the big day itself, she made me feel completely at ease and confident. Kate’s talent truly shines through in her work. She created a flawless look that was exactly what I envisioned, and I felt beautiful all day long. She also did an incredible job on all of my bridesmaids – each one looked stunning and was beyond impressed with their makeup. The compliments we received were endless! If you’re looking for a makeup artist for your wedding or any special occasion, I highly recommend Kate. She’s truly amazing and will make your day even more memorable. Thank you, Kate, for everything!”
