Grayson Coutts | Auckland Wedding Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist
As a bride, it's all eyes on you (and the groom from time to time... maybe...), so it's only natural that you want to look flawless. But finding the right makeup artist for your big day might be a hard task to accomplish. In fact, there might even be a little voice inside asking if you even need a professional makeup artist.
Well, any Auckland wedding photographer will tell you getting a good professional makeup artist for your wedding is a must, unless you are one yourself :P The reason is simple; you’ll have an entire day’s schedule from here to there, meet and greet along with hundreds of photos. Your everyday makeup won’t survive such a busy day but getting an expert who knows their craft will help ensure you look like you just finished getting ready all day long.
But where to start looking if you don’t have a trustworthy place to go? Well Grayson Coutts Makeup Artistry is definitely great place to start looking. With over 12 years of experience that translate into hundreds of happy brides, all of them unique with different styles and skin types. While they’re based in Ponsonby, Auckland, they’re available to travel within New Zealand.
Grayson is the kind of artist that will be able to give you the advice you need while taking into consideration of the styles and looks that you're wanting to go for on your wedding day. Chilled, funny and just awesome to hang out with, he's the perfect friend to your getting ready party.
Plus, leaving important stuff like make up to a professional might be the best decision you can make. You just sit back, relax and get pampered on the day of "I do".
Tip! It’s always a good idea to book a makeup trial if you’re able to for an extra bit of peace of mind, and since you’re already paying for it, you might want to book it for your engagement session date or have a date night to know how you feel about it after a couple of hours and see just how awesome Grayson’s work looks even after all that.
Here’s a few extremely happy (and beautiful) brides that have would agree 100% when it comes to picking Grayson Coutts for your big day!
I had Grayson recommend to me to do my wedding make up, and it was gorgeous. I felt a million dollars throughout the whole day, and night- the make up held up well, even with few tears on it.
He worked with each of my bridesmaids to make them comfortable and highlight their features while making them glamorous and my 10yr old step daughter looked beautiful, not an easy task to keep her looking understated but to fit in with the rest.
HIGHLY recommend his work- he is profession, efficient and fun.

Grayson did such an incredible job on my make up and for my bridesmaids for my wedding. Everything was perfect, my girls looked absolutely stunning and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Grayson has such a calm energy, a lovely nature and was so easy to work with. He helped make our morning getting ready so fun, stress free and extremely easy. If you are a bride to be or need a bit of glam for a special event, I would highly recommend Grayson! Thank you again Grayson for everything and for making me feel so beautiful on such a special day.
