Welcome to the Makeup Station

My name is Karina and I am the proud owner of the Makeup Station since 2020.  I live in Auckland with my two amazing daughters and a house full of pets that keep me super busy when I am not doing makeup and hair. 

Makeup Station was established in 2011 by the lovely Ali Dalziell and I am very honored to continue with her dream of providing professional and personable makeup and hair services to our lovely local New Zealand clients and the ones visiting from overseas. For me what started as a fun diploma at The Makeup School in Ponsonby, over a decade ago, quickly turned into a career that I never imagined.  My other passion is in stage musical productions.  I just love the energy and the fast-paced atmosphere back stage.  I have also been involved with NZ Opera for over 9 years becoming Wigs and Makeup HOD in 2021.  

As much as I love doing makeup and hair, what I am truly passionate about, is looking after people.  I strive to make sure our clients feel special from that first email enquiry till we are saying goodbye when all the makeup and hair is done.  I always love to get to know our clients and make their experience memorable and fun. 

I absolutely love events and weddings and cannot wait to be a part of yours!

What a gorgeous lady inside and out. We worked together recently on a photoshoot and Karina did a fantastic job. She made the bride and bridesmaid look exactly how we envisaged and she went above and beyond.She stayed the whole day with retouches and costume adjustments!! She was a complete star and I cannot wait to work with her again in the future!! “
