Kaysey Taylor

Kaysey Taylor is an immensely creative makeup artist, multi award winning body artist and has recently entered the New Zealand film industry.

When Kaysey discovered body art in her last week of high school, she became singularly focused. She not only enrolled in a Production Design & Sculpting course, but also started entering every body art competition available and saying "YES" to every opportunity that came her way.

Her hard work paid off and today Kaysey splits her time between working on the the likes of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' on Prime, being the go-to freelance creative and SPFX makeup artist for Tamaki Makaurau and still body painting at every opportunity!

Alison Brewer

Self described "Girl Friday" for hair, makeup and grooming, Alison Brewer has been on the business end of a makeup brush for 27 years. After leading makeup design for the dance group at her school production at age 12, she realised she had found her life's calling and she hasn't looked back since. Over the course of her extensive career, she has worked in various sectors including retail, bridal, fashion, commercial, corporate, film and of course with many of New Zealand's high-profile clients.

Alison saw the importance of nurturing connections and communication between freelance makeup artists here in Aotearoa, so in 2011 she started a humble Facebook group called "The New Zealand Makeup Artists' Collective" in an effort to do just that. Today, the page has grown to a community of 1700 and functions as a forum for industry discussion, advice and camaraderie.
