Crispy’s Beauty is more than makeup, it’s a movement powered by passion, purpose, and personal transformation. Founded by Crispy Menezes, a self-taught South Asian makeup artist based in Hamilton, New Zealand, this brand was born from a love of artistry and a desire to help people feel confident in their skin  and in their story.

Crispy’s journey into makeup wasn’t traditional. She built her skills through countless hours of learning, experimenting, and pouring her heart into every face she touched. As a woman of colour and creative visionary, she saw a gap in the industry and stepped in to fill it with authenticity, innovation, and heart.

At Crispy’s Beauty, makeup is more than just glam,  it’s therapy in a chair.
Crispy’s sessions are known for being therapeutic, liberating, and deeply personal. Clients don’t just walk away looking beautiful — they leave feeling heard, empowered, and reconnected to their inner strength. Whether you’re preparing for a major life event or simply treating yourself, the experience is tailored not just to your features, but to your energy and emotions too.

From her Hamilton-based studio to on-location services, Crispy brings the glam to you, blending high-performance techniques with soulful, safe, and affirming experiences. From bridal and event makeup to creative shoots, each look is a celebration of individuality, expression, and confidence.

But this is just the beginning.

Crispy’s mission is to expand the brand into a multi-service space that fuses beauty with well-being, self-development, and education. Especially for women navigating life, identity, and confidence. With a focus on mental health awareness and empowerment, Crispy’s Beauty aims to be a safe space for transformation on every level.

This is makeup with meaning. This is beauty with soul.
