ISSADA Stockist Spotlight: Michelle Olwagen

Stockist Spotlight

Meet Michelle Olwagen

Makeup Artist Educator & Event Artist

With six years of experience, Michelle helps women to feel their best selves through personalised, skin-first makeup education.

Her story is grounded in authenticity, empowerment, & redefining beauty for mature skin.

Makeup That Feels Like You

“I love seeing the instant lift in a woman’s spirit when she realises she can feel confident in her own skin — still looking like herself, just enhanced.”

Michelle began her career as a freelance makeup artist, but everything changed when a client asked for a lesson, and then a workshop. She found her true calling in education, showing women how to apply makeup that enhances their features, while suiting their lifestyle, and skin — particularly those navigating peri-menopausal changes. Her philosophy? No trends. No templates. Just makeup that honours individuality.

From one-on-one lessons to special event artistry, Michelle now empowers women across New Zealand with her deeply personal, skin-first approach.

The Difference ISSADA Makes

Keen to provide her clients with quality products, Michelle searched for a brand that aligned with her values — professional formulas with safe, healthy ingredients that are versatile for every-day use, special occasions, TV and photographic use and cater for all skin types.

ISSADA stood out with its skin-loving formulas, cosmeceutical-grade quality, and commitment to enhancing rather than just covering. Seeing the results, Michelle continued to proudly champion the ISSADA brand because it supports both skin health and confidence.

Her kit essentials for mature women? CC8 Cream Foundation and Antioxidant Shadow Magnet Eye Primer — go-to favourites for flawless, real-skin finishes.
