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, a decade ago, quickly turned into a career that I never imagined.  My other passion is in stage musical productions as I just can’t get enough of the energy and the fast-paced atmosphere it brings.  I run professional high school productions where I get to share my knowledge and experience with the students and have also been involved with NZ Opera for over 8 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!

KAYLA

Hello I am Kayla, born and raised in the beautiful Aotearoa, New Zealand. I’ve always had a passion for creativity and beauty. In my early twenties I began my career as a tutor and have been tutoring makeup artistry and hairstyling for the past 7 years. I love the diversity of my job as a makeup artist and tutor, exploring my passions in creative makeup, beauty, face and body painting, SFX, avant garde and more, supporting others on their own creative journey into the world of makeup artistry.

Outside of makeup I love to create art, often in my studio with paint brush in hand working on canvas, commissions or mural projects. Doing what I love each day and being able to share my passion with others brings me fulfilment.
