Montana WOW Awards partners with NZ makeup brand
New Zealand makeup company, Wendy Hill Cosmetics, has become the exclusive makeup brand for the Montana World of
WearableArt Awards Show.
The World of WearableArt Awards (WOW) Show has become an iconic New Zealand cultural event held in Wellington each
September.
This year the show has attracted a record 318 entries from as far afield as Iceland, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand,
India and the United States. Preliminary judging for the 2007 show has already taken place, and the chosen garments are
currently being choreographed into unique performance pieces for the Awards Show which is being held at the TSB Bank
Arena on Queens Wharf in Wellington, opening next Thursday (September 20).
WOW CEO Gabrielle Hervey says she is delighted that Wendy Hill Cosmetics has become part of the World of WearableArt
team.
"Wendy Hill Cosmetics is a highly successful New Zealand makeup brand that enjoys a majority share of the national
professional beauty market, and it is appropriate that our two successful New Zealand organisations should work together
in this way," she says. "We love the quality of the Wendy Hill product, and we love the fact that it is a New Zealand
company that shares many of the same objectives and associations as ourselves, and we are looking forward to our
partnership."
Well-known New Zealand makeup artist and stylist, Wendy Hill, launched Wendy Hill Cosmetics seven years ago as a
quality, healthy makeup specifically for New Zealand women and to tone with New Zealand's unique and beautiful natural
golden light.
Wendy sees the partnership with WOW as recognition of her company's commitment to quality and to the New Zealand beauty
profession.
"This partnership reflects our philosophy of working closely with the community, which we do through close involvement
with many different sectors, such as tertiary education institutes, fashion events, and support of women's charitable
and community groups and events."
Wendy Hill Makeup is a high quality, professional collection that is designed specifically for commercial, fashion and
photographic work, and is made for every woman's makeup requirement from everyday wear through to bridal and special
occasions.
It is retailed extensively throughout New Zealand by beauty and hair salons and trained makeup professionals, to ensure
the best results every time.
