Katie McCaskill Artsitry

her clients feel so beautiful and confident.

sweet and made sure to make my day all about me. She followed me around for my pictures to ensure my veil was always in place and continually checked in with me throughout my wedding day to make sure I was happy! I could not recommend her any more! She offers both the insane skill and great customer service. It’s not easy to find someone as genuine as Katie in the industry:)

ppy with their look. Her style is natural and glowy, and we were all obsessed. I’m really minimal with my everyday makeup (like doing mascara in the car every morning minimal), and I still felt like myself with the makeup Katie did. It was the perfect balance. She and her team also brought such good, chill vibes to the morning of, and they rolled with the punches and problem solved when ya girl needed it. Katie went to the venue with us, too, and that was super super helpful to have her right there for touch ups during photos and leading right up to the ceremony. She was such a pro and made me and my girls feel so confident. And the low bun held up like a champ!!!

d to ensure you look your best. We’re lucky to have her in South FL!

edding weekend. Her communication and timeliness was 10/10 as well. Highly recommend her for your bridal makeup and hair!

her (who never wears makeup) was raving about how much she loved her makeup! During the hair & makeup trial Katie did a great job at showing exactly what to expect on the wedding day and gives great hair, makeup, and veil placement advice! She also squeezed me in for a second trial because I changed my mind for my hairstyle to make sure everything would be perfect for me. My hair and makeup stayed perfect the whole night without touch ups. I highly recommend Hair and Makeup of the Palm Beaches!

She is also kind and fun to be around. I hope to use her again in the future and 100% recommend her services for any special occasion!

ned to what I was looking for and gave me exactly that: elevated natural, glowy, bronzy with a simple wavy low bun. Also, everyone’s makeup/hair lasted all night and pictures really well.

e with me in picking a trial date and made sure I loved my look. Katie is a PRO at making sure makeup and hair stays absolutely put in south Florida weather. I got married at the end of May in Palm Beach and my hair and makeup stayed perfect for an entire day with tons of sunshine , photos, and dancing all night.

ll so happy with their hair and make up as well. I plan on hiring Katie for all future special occasions. She is the best!

ing I was hoping for and brought my vision to life. She is also amazing at deciphering what would look best on you. I didn’t have a super clear direction for what I wanted but she was able to work her magic and made me feel the best. Apart from my hair and makeup, Katie and her team are wonderful people. From the fun music and the constant upbeat conversation, they really expanded on how excited we all were feeling! Book her for your next event!!

led my vision: an effortless, natural and sunkissed makeup look with a bridal bun that held its shape the entire night. She was clear with communication along the way and flexible in scheduling my trial as I live out of town. Also she brought along an amazing team who did hair and makeup for 10+ people(bridesmaids/family) and everyone was ready on time. I cannot recommend her enough!

akeup for my best friend’s wedding. She was very quick to text and ask about deposits, but communication immediately fell off from there once she had her money. It took forever to get a trial scheduled because she wouldn’t text back, and once I did have it scheduled, she canceled on me a few days before because she was “moving to New York for the rest of the summer and wouldn’t be back until October” - which would have left me 3 weeks out from my wedding with no trial (and I live almost 4 hours away from Jupiter). After the canceling of the trial, my planner told me 2 weeks later that Katie was already back from New York and wasn’t staying there any more. After more hounding, I finally got my trial booked. I honestly just didn’t love what was done - and that’s ok!!! It just wasn’t my style and what I had envisioned. I ended up getting my hair and makeup done (just for fun, I wasn’t actively seeking another artist) by someone else for my shower, and ended up hiring her as well to do myself and my mom because I felt more comfortable knowing I was going to love what I looked like on my wedding day. I admit, I could have communicated the change to Katie better, but I was hesitant because I was afraid of retaliation - and I was right in that hesitation. I still had Katie and team hired for bridal party, and also still paid for mine and my mother’s original services because I was within the 3 month cancellation period. As part of Katie’s package, she advertises that she will stay to do touch ups until you walk down the aisle, and because I was paying for it and it was part of my package, I expected her to stay to do those. I thought it was a fair ask considering she was still getting $1,100 for my services that I didn’t use. After final payment was received, she immediately texted my planner that she was NOT staying for touch ups and never answered another text of mine either. No thank you, no nothing. Even though she had almost four thousand dollars from me. Morning of the wedding, she said not a single word to me and proceeded to discuss and complain about the situation with every. Single. Person. That sat in her chair. The way she acted and failed to hold up her end of her own contract is beyond what I could have imagined of a wedding vendor.

. Three months before my wedding day I asked her to please hire another artist since I had a large wedding party and didn’t want to start so early in the morning. This situation dragged on until the week before my wedding since my texts would be ignored when I asked if she had found another artist. I finally told my wedding planner that I was frustrated trying to get everything finalized and that Katie wouldn’t respond back to me, so my planner took matters into her own hands. Katie responded back to my planner in a day :( Then my planner asked her the week before the wedding for her hair/makeup timeline. Katie had the arrival time for her artists at 7:15am (she had told me with adding on the extra artist we could start at 8am) but her own arrival time of 10:15am. My planner spoke to her again and the schedule was adjusted to an 8am start time since my planner noted multiple errors in the schedule. When I interviewed katie she stated that she “never does more than one wedding in a day” which I thought was great and a reason I moved forward with her. She ended up arriving at our house 45 minutes late at 11am instead of 10:15am. She then started my makeup 15 minutes later after she set up. You can imagine the stress this caused me knowing that we had to leave soon to my venue. Apparently, she was late because she was doing another bride’s makeup/hair that morning. This was unfair to me. We had a timeline to stick to and she really didn’t seem to care. It was because of her that we ended up running an hour late which resulted in us not having enough time for some family photos that we had planned for. If you want your wedding day to run smoothly, I would recommend that you hire someone else.

what I wanted. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day and truly made me feel like I was the most beautiful version of myself (while still looking like myself)!!! I also had her there for the extra touch up package which I was so grateful for. She helped not only me, but my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids. Katie was there for us from beginning to end to make sure we looked our absolute best. She will take the time to get to know you, so it feels like a very good friend is doing your hair and makeup. Who could ask for anything more?! Thank you Katie!!

bsolutely gorgeous without feeling like I was over done. My hair and makeup lasted through out crying, rain storm, and dancing for 5 hours straight! Katie was super easy to communicate with and made the entire process so smooth and enjoyable. I was able to do a trial before my wedding day which was a huge plus so we could get to know each other and try out the style I had in mind. Katie brought two other girls to the morning of and they were just as amazing! They made everyone look and feel so beautiful. They also were a blast to work with, it felt like we were getting ready with one big group of friends! Highly highly recommend Katie!!

he also had great advice for me at our trial about jewelry, planning and other details that I wouldn’t have even thought of. I hired her for extra hours of touchups, which was 100% worth it. You can never predict the weather in Florida, and while we lucked out with a beautiful day it was SO nice to have extra help getting ready and making sure we looked perfect in the photos! She always responded promptly to my calls and messages. You will not regret booking with her!

n the vision I had for both my hair and makeup for the big day. I absolutely loved everything about my wedding day look and truly felt like the most beautiful bride. Thank you so much Katie for helping to make my day so special! I highly recommend Katie to anyone and everyone looking for a hair and/or makeup artist for their wedding!!

ids, as well as the bride. She was receptive to everyones different styles and requests and far exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend her for your big day!

very responsive to messages and I can’t wait to have her help with hair for my wedding this year!

ed how they thought on my wedding the hair and makeup was dialed in. It was super windy that day but everything stayed perfectly !

ist for the big day. I have many friends and family in the biz. I knew I could count on discounts and good times, but while I Wanted to support their respective businesses, I was not willing to compromise on my ideal wedding look. In The early days of planning I was a naive bride to be with so many overwhelming tasks ahead of me. Foolishly I reached out to a local mom group soliciting artist suggestions and subsequently found myself inundated for days with inbox messages and friend requests from people who wanted to provide services. Some were rude or pushy, some had zero experience and one girl shelling some MLM weight loss program asked if I planned to lose some weight before the big day. I was at a complete loss but I kept track of every quote and the services offered. I spoke with several artists whose resumes and photographs reflected my ideal wedding look but I just couldn’t seem to get the right vibe (I acknowledge I am truly exhausting as a human). When a friend suggested Katie I was admittedly skeptical, her pricing seemed fair and her work was incredible, there had to be a catch. In my infinite apprehension I had concluded she must be some kind of monster with bad breathe and poor social skills, but my assumptions were immediately smashed when I met this beautiful soul for a hair and makeup trial. With the wedding mere days away panic set in for some bridesmaids and my future mother in law who implored me to add them to the beauty services. I didn’t want to stress Katie out or ruin her schedule but I decided to ask. I text her at 9 pm to ask if there was anyway to fit in the services. Once again proving her kindness, she assured me she would make it work. The day of the wedding Katie brought two members of her team to assemble an incredibly efficient assembly line of beauty services. I swear I could have added all three to my bridal party. They were sweet and energetic, they truly made the pre wedding events fun and hilarious. As the ceremony time quickly approached my maid of honor informed me that she thought she was getting her makeup done too. I told her we were pressed for time and one of the other bridesmaid could help her but Katie quickly stepped in, again rearranging the schedule to allow for an additional service. Every bridesmaid looked phenomenal and each thanked me for finding this team. My hair and makeup was truly a work of art. I didn’t look like an over contoured Instagram influencer; I looked like me but bridal. For my hair I picked an elaborate boho braid directly from Pinterest. I’d seen enough braiding fails to know this was a lofty task to undertake, especially given the length and width of my unruly mane, but Katie made it happen. Not only did she replicate a gorgeous flowy braid, she did something magical in its construction that kept it in place for the entirety of my wedding and into the next day. Katie made me look flawless. My wife could not believe how incredible I looked and literally spent the night staring at me. I cried multiple times and danced until I was blistered and bruised but my makeup remained. Two days later I had to force myself to wash my hair. It was really hard to let go of my perfect braid but thanks to Katie and her team of fellow wizards I know the ideal look is only a text away.

tastic job. Everyone's hair and makeup stayed in place for the entire outdoor wedding in the FL heat. Thank you thank you!!

happy. I’m so grateful to have met her and can’t wait to have another event to get my makeup done by her again. Thank you so much Katie!

e was quick to get back to me, told me exactly what I needed in order to achieve the look I was going for and great at communication every step of the way! Very happy!

end!

tural look was important to me. Katie helped me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Katie is so fun a perfect person to have on your wedding day team!!

feel like a bride yet still feel like myself (only better!) Hair and makeup lasted all night and looked flawless in all the pics. She also did makeup and hair for my mother, mother-in-law and bridesmaids. Everyone looked amazing and Katie is super sweet and very professional. She was a joy to have around, has an endearing personality and I’ve used her since for special events. She’s extremely talented! Thanks Katie!

o the work Katie does! She is incrieble! Also, she uses NAME BRAND products - which was important to me! I use name brand products daily and didn’t want to have a bad reaction to cheap makeup on my big day! Katie did the trial at my house (which was super convient)! I’m a beauty junkie so it was fun to talk makeup with such an amazing and KNOWLEDGEABLE artist! I will recommend Katie to all of my friends and family! I was so sad to take my makeup off both times! Trust me - you will not regret booking with Katie! She is a sweetheart and truly listens to what you want and makes your visions come true!! Thank you Katie!!! You made my day even more special!!! Also, thanks for your help with my dress and veil! Xoxo!!!
