Ning — Auckland Makeup Artist & Photographer

The artist
behind the look.

Ning is an Auckland-based makeup artist and photographer — and that dual expertise changes everything.

Because she creates on both sides of the camera, she understands precisely how makeup translates: how light reads on different skin textures, how colour shifts under flash, and what a look actually needs to photograph beautifully. Every result is built to be flawless in person and through the lens.

She works with genuine care — tailoring every detail to your exact features, obsessing over the things most artists consider done, and making the whole process feel easy. Clients leave looking better than they imagined. That's always the goal.

What clients say.

She's incredibly thoughtful, creative, and endlessly patient. She really took the time to understand my style and made sure the final look felt like me, just elevated. Ning treats every face like her own masterpiece.

Wedding Makeup

She is a true artist and tailors each makeup look to suit your facial features, making sure you leave looking your best. Thanks Ning for great vibes and for teaching me about makeup as you work too!

Weddings & Events

My skin has never looked so glowy. She takes her time to sort out every detail to make you look so polished. It was fun to collaborate with her on the colours & style. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful & confident!

Photoshoot Makeup

If I share a concept, she just gets it straight away. She really understands the mood and overall vibe, which makes the whole process so easy and stress free. The results always turn out even better than I expected.

Model Shoots

My bridal trial turned out so well! She was so easy to work with and was able to put together the vision I had. I love her attention to small details that made my features pop and stand out.

Bridal Trial

Ning is such a genuinely talented makeup artist and kind person all around. She really understood my unique face shape and features and how to make them shine. I felt like I was in great hands.

General

I trust her with my sensitive skin, especially because her hygiene standards are immaculate. She will be your friend and sister you always wanted to help glam you up.

Various Styles

She was confident to implement looks based on reference images and also to suggest adjustments to improve the end result. She has done runway and photoshoot makeup for me — very talented.
