Hello, lovely brides-to-be! I’m Rita - a professional bridal makeup artist now based in Christchurch, originally from Europe, where I trained and worked for over a decade in the world of luxury beauty, fashion and bridal glam.
I bring with me not just experience, but a deep passion for enhancing your natural beauty, and creating calm, elevated moments on one of the most important days of your life.
At Rita Jacinto Makeup, I specialise in high-end, long-wear bridal makeup with a tailored approach, one that considers your skin, your vision, and your personal story. I believe that makeup should empower you to feel like yourself, just elevated, glowing and confident.
I also work in close partnership with my mum, an experienced hairstylist, which means I can offer a full bridal hair & makeup package, all in one seamless, stress-free experience. From your first enquiry to your preview (trial) and the wedding morning, you’re supported every step of the way.
A key highlight of what I offer is the exclusive Bulletproof Makeup technique — a cutting-edge method I’m proud to introduce for the first time in New Zealand. It combines advanced product layering, skin prep, and performance-focused formulas to deliver a flawless finish that resists tears, hugs, heat and hours of celebration. It's perfect for brides who want to look fresh from morning to midnight.
Inspired by European trends, training and elegance, but tailored for the modern NZ bride, my mission is simple: to deliver artistry, calm energy, and results that photograph beautifully and last all day.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full wedding celebration, I’d love to be part of your journey. Let’s create something unforgettable.
