GABRIELLE

WRIGHT 

contact@gabriellewrightmakeup.com

I’m Gabrielle Wright, a makeup artist based in the Bay of Plenty, available wherever I’m needed.

For over seven years, I’ve worked across weddings, events, and editorial, creating looks that feel soft, considered, and entirely timeless. Last year, I stepped into the chair myself doing my own wedding makeup and was reminded just how powerful it is to feel radiant, confident, and truly like yourself.

I bring a calm, refined presence to every moment I’m part of.

MAKEUP ARTIST AND CREATIVE

Unaffected by trends, my work is grounded in a timeless approach to beauty. I create soft, feminine looks that feel elevated, refined, and quietly confident designed to last.
