About

Darrien-Rose

I am a Christchurch-based Makeup Artist with over four years of experience in the beauty industry. Makeup became a huge passion of mine when I got my first full-time job in the Health and Beauty department at Farmers. From there, I worked my way up to MAC Cosmetics, where I currently have the privilege of working at the Riccarton branch as the Assistant Manager, where I continue to learn and refine my artistry every day. Working with such a diverse range of faces and stories has shaped my approach toward makeup as something deeply personal.

For me, makeup is about enhancing what is already there and helping people feel confident, comfortable and like the best version of themselves. Whether it’s a soft, natural look or something more elevated, my goal remains the same - to create an experience that feels considered and empowering.

When you book with me, you’re not just booking a Makeup Artist - you’re choosing someone who truly listens and takes the time to understand you. I want every client to leave the chair feeling seen, confident and completely themselves.
