New Zealand's Leading
Eyeliner Specialist

Permanent eyelines are my specialty and passion!

Your eyes are often the first thing someone notices about you - and are considered the windows to your soul. So it makes sense to show them off to their (and your) best advantage!

Eyeliner is used to highlight your eyes, make your lashes look fuller, and even change the perceived shape of your eyes. If applying perfect eyeliner every morning is a challenge, permanent eyeliner is the way to go for a flawless look without the fuss. It will save you time and money in the long run too.

Permanent Lip Lines

A permanent lip line, lip line blend or a full lip colour can help define your lips, correct any assymetry and make them appear fuller and more youthful.

It's also a fantastic solution for anyone with makeup allergies, naturally pale lips or an active lifestyle where putting on and taking off cosmetics is a hassle.

"I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle as your makeup tattooist

I love my eyebrows now,  they're totally transformed, they look amazing. With Michelle's vast experience  & professionalism in her field of expertise im a very satisfied customer. There is also the opportunity to get into & purchase some amazing beauty products."

Beautiful Brows

Your eyebrows provide a frame for your face and draw attention to your eyes. Permanent eyebrows enhance your brow colour, fullness and symmetry, and can be positioned and shaped to make your face appear more youthful.

Perfect for those with uneven, sparse or non-existent eyebrows or anyone who wants a more low maintenance makeup regime.

I love Michelle and love, love her work!

"I first met Michelle in 2018 when I was an eyeliner model.

Over the years I have had micro needling, colour correction of my green brows (another artist had done 6 years prior), and removed a lip liner that was outside of my lips. Eventually I even had my eyeliner turned into a soft eye shadow.

As a highly anxious person she puts me at ease and makes me feel safe and comfortable."

Julie Thompson

Michelle's impressive training & passion caught my eye

"I found the idea of permanent tattooing a bit intimidating, so finding an experienced artist was absolutely critical to me. 

Michelle did not disappoint. She took time to outline my brows until I was happy. She walked me through every step, displaying incredible sensitivity to ensure my comfort. If you're after top-notch quality and don't mind paying a bit extra, Michelle is your person.

I couldn't be happier with the result, and the drive to Hamilton to see her is 100% worth it!"

Sabine Brown

Michelle thank you for my fantastic eyebrows!

"I had struggled for ages with my own eyebrows as they were thin and getting thinner.   

I met with Michelle and we had a chat on what I wanted.  Michelle was awesome and went through the type of procedures she performed.  Then based on her recommendation I had my eyebrows tattooed.

The colour Michelle chose matches perfectly with my skin and colour of my eyes."
