Alana Mennell - ‘The beauty Lab Mangawhai’


I have always had a passion for makeup from an early age. Doing ball makeups in my school years and wanted to turn my passion into a career that i loved.

I later completed a certificate at The Makeup School in Ponsonby. Considered to be the foremost makeup school in New Zealand. I have been lucky enough to have worked extensively in all areas of make up artistry including Fashion, media and with some of New Zealand’s highly regarded photographers and various New Zealand clothing designers and music artists. My studio is based in Mangawhai Village on the East Coast of the Northland, New Zealand.

For weddings I love to help guide you and work with you to create your own perfect, individual style, capturing your own unique beauty and keeping it fresh with a modern feel.  I love to create beautiful hairstyles that are elegant and clean cut or are of a more relaxed nature, unstructured and with soft texture. Communication is key and such an important part of the process, share your ideas and i will bring them to life.

Offering makeup,  makeup lessons, YUMI lash lifts, lash extensions, brow services, gel nails and Organic Spray Tans. The beauty Lab Mangawhai is able to offer a full range of Beauty packages that cater for all occasions. I am also mobile and can accomodate larger groups, weddings, School balls and any event that needs an extra touch.


Please feel free to contact me with any questions, i would be more than happy to help.
