WHERE MAKEUP PREP MEETS TRANQUIL SURROUNDS.

Welcome to The Studio

In 2020, Shona realized her dream of creating an exquisite studio tailored for her makeup artistry business. Specializing in bridal makeup, special occasion makeup, event makeup, makeup lessons, and more, Shona envisioned a sanctuary for her brides and clients, where tranquility and relaxation abound. The studio exudes a chic, modern, yet minimalist aesthetic, featuring beautiful oak flooring, elegant touches of pink, white walls, and sophisticated oak cabinetry.

Bridal Space

Shona offers her Brides and other bridal parties the opportunity to hire the studio, providing a serene environment for pre-wedding preparations. This dedicated space allows the Bride and her entourage to relax and enjoy the excitement of the wedding day preparations, undisturbed by outside interruptions. It is the quintessential setting for any bridal party to get ready in style.

Moreover, Shona shares this serene space with Amanda, a local massage therapist renowned in the Matakana area. Amanda specializes in an array of luxurious services, including exceptional massages, sound bowl healing, gua sha facials, and more.

I am SO happy that I chose Shona to be my makeup artist for my wedding - she instantly makes you feel at ease and her work is amazing, she is so talented!! I am just waiting for the next big event to pop up so I have an excuse to book in her services again :)

Also - after having my makeup trial with her in her home studio (Takatu Studio), I loved the space so much that I decided to book in the space for getting ready with my bridal team on my wedding day and it was the best decision. She has built a beautiful, relaxing space - and the light in her studio is so stunning for photos !

Choosing your makeup artist for your wedding is a big decision to make - but after my experience I will always recommend Shona to anyone asking for a makeup artist for their big day.
