Knockout Beauty

ely happy. The day of the wedding, she and her team showed up right on time and we all looked amazing. They helped my big day go smoothly and I never felt prettier. Thanks Knockout Beauty!

wanted it to be. Cat is very down-to-earth and understands the stress brides are under; I found it very easy to be honest with her about what I wanted, what I did NOT want, whether I liked something in progress, etc. She was wonderful to work with. She was willing to try a few styles with me and made some great suggestions that led to some positive changes in my overall look for the day. Her gentle honesty was spot on. On the day of the wedding, she and Carlisle did hair and make up for all 7 bridesmaids, my mother, and myself. Everyone looked gorgeous and the getting ready experience was fun - as it should be! Cat was also willing to work with me on price and answered about 100 emails from me containing questions which she always responded to, and never made me feel like I was inconveniencing her (unlike other vendors I worked with). Cat is professional, talented, very knowledgable in her field, charismatic, kind, and made my wedding day a breeze. I have since recommended her to several friends because of the great experience I had with her. Thank you, Cat and Knockout Beauty for making my dream come true!

rices had gone up (it had been a year, so no surprise there), I knew she was worth every penny!! Cat was very flexible in scheduling a run through and was very responsive if I had any questions or concerns during the wedding planning. She has a great personality and is great to work with. I hope she is the makeup artist for the next wedding I'm in :)

r and makeup for myself and 6 other bridesmaids + MOH. They helped keep the atmosphere fun and energetic and finished everyone's hair and makeup early. No rushing meant less stress! Thanks Knockout Beauty!

on the wedding day. Cat was responsive to my questions, flexible on timing, and she came to me on the day of, which was awesome as it allowed me to spend the morning at my house with all my girlfriends. Her prices are competitive, she listens to what your vision is for your wedding day, and the results of her work are great! I received many many compliments on both my hair and makeup! Thank you, Cat!

My MOH and MIL also had their makeup done by Cat and her assistant, and they loved their makeup just as much as me. If I can find an excuse to get my makeup done professionally again, Cat will be the first and only person I call.

e evening, so I decided to hire a professional for hair & make up since we needed it to last alllll day. Cat & Carla showed up so early it was still dark out, but were so much fun that we didn't even notice the ungodly hour. We had all lengths and styles of hair and everyone was extremely pleased with their hairstyle. They also did a fantastic job on make up., doing a beautiful job on a variety of complexions. The make up photographed beautifully (no white wash out!), held up for 14 HOURS and we all received constant compliments all day long! I could not have been more pleased with my decision to hire Knockout Beauty for my wedding - the value we got was unmatched. Thanks again Cat & Carla!

1.Her brushes were in a plastic cup sitting on a cart and did not appear to be clean 2. She used her liquid liner directly on my eye, disgusting! 3. She used her mascara directly on my lashes, disgusting! 4. Her airbrushing appeared to be okay in the crap lighting she had but as soon as I stepped outside, HELLO BABY PROSTITUTE. My face was white except for a dark brown line on my cheek bone she called "contouring". I couldn't even run my errands, I had to run home and take all this off! 5. she curled my hair towards my face, who does that past 1989 6. She gave me a stye! with her filthy make up tools! I have my engagement party in just a few days and I have to attend sporting a huge stye! 7. She claimed she cleans her brushes...but she told me she had another bride appt minutes after mine...that is zero time to clean her brushes and sanitize, no wonder my eye was infected! Her only saving grace was that she offered to reimburse me for the $60, I have not received it yet and doubt I will. This was a terrible experience and I do not recommend her if you want to look at all like yourself on your wedding day. Please click on the attached link for pictures. http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0CcsWTFqyZtnJQ update: The pin she is referring to is not the pin I used for an example. She just put a random picture that looked like what she did to me! Unbelievable! She also told me she was expecting a bride any minute, so she did not have 30 minutes to sanitize, that is a lie as well! She also failed to mention that she used an open used liquid liner on my eye which is likely what caused my eye infection. The pic she took of me is not natural light, it was in her apartment. I took my pictures when I got to my car (that is natural light) The make up was harsh and the color was uneven and did not match my skin. This is not bridal in any way! I've had my makeup done many times at many counters and I have never experienced anything like this. It's very upsetting that I have to go to my engagement party with a stye because of this! update: I still have not received my refund, I'M NOT SURPRISED!

stant the day-of for no additional charge. She was also willing to start working at 5 a.m. so that we could be ready in time for my 10 a.m. ceremony. I highly recommend her!

e of my girlfriends during the trial and day of.

everyone looking their personal best and happy.

ybody look their best. As nervous parents of the bride, Cat responded to every call and email and she was calm and wonderful. Cat, thank you for making Kelly the beautiful bride she always dreamed about becoming. You are the best.... Cat Smith is a premier professional with hair and make-up.

photographer. The upside? My girls and I looked awesome! Cat was professional, friendly, fun, and understanding. When I said that I had changed my mind about something, she rolled with it. She is a wonderful person who I have referred to my best friend for her wedding next September. Cat is just a special person, and when I look at pics of us from the big day, I am so glad that I picked Cat to do the make-up and hair. She is a true style genius. I simply cannot say enough good things about her. Also, my matron of honor is a very fair skinned black woman with very sensitive skin. I told Cat and she was totally prepared. Also, when my best friend sweated off her make-up and messed up her hair, she touched it up no problem. She truly is a beautiful person inside and out!

ook. She offers a free trial run which was so helpful in figuring out what worked best for what I envisioned with the professional tips and advice from Cat. The results were more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed. She also did my moms make up, eye lash application and hair extensions for the big day and she looked drop dead gorgeous. I could not have been happier with Cat's services on my wedding day and happily recommend her to anyone looking for a true professional for your special day. She is worth every penny!!!

d last. Cat applied airbrush makeup and it held up the entire night! My husband thought I looked beautiful and I could not be happier with the results! Not to mention, Cat offers a FREE runthrough, so I knew what I would look like the day of my wedding before hand. She was great and I have recommended her to several of my friends!

coming up with a great makeup plan and hair plan.

ees what a little TLC with makeup and hair can do for women and you can tell that she absolutely loves what she does! She has this amazing sense about her to where she can look at you and see everything that needs to be done, be that facial contouring, covering minor imperfections, the best colors for your skin tone, and exactly how your hair should be styled based on your dress, veil and personality. She did airbrush makeup for me (my first time) and it was flawless and stayed all day (and night). She took special time with my hair to make sure that it would stay even in the hot and humid Louisiana summer. I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup vendor. If I had it to do all over again, I would use her hands down (and I think my husband would want me to as well). I wish everyday was my wedding day so that I could have her do my makeup and hair everyday!

is industry. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and I absolutely loved it. Cat offers a complimentary run through, which was one of the reasons I decided to try her out. I really had no idea what I wanted, so I let her give me a “classic bridal” look, and I felt absolutely beautiful! Our wedding ceremony was at 11am, so I needed someone that could travel to me, and Cat will travel anywhere in DFW. We also had a big gap between the wedding ceremony and the reception, so Cat even offered to come back and do touchups in-between. Cat’s prices were very reasonable when compared to other makeup artists in the area.

sults. Cat did a spectacular job on my hair and makeup!!! She was calm, listened to me and made my day a really enjoyable one. I am already recommending her as a must have to my friends. I will continue using Cat for any upcoming special occasions! You cannot go wrong with using her for your BIG DAY!!

nt, even with a couple of flower girls running around, and about 8 other women in the room! I loved the way I looked! She also did my new sister-in-law, my MOH and my mom and we all looked our absolute best and loved it. I recommend her to anybody who wants their face/hair done for a special occasion. Her rates are also reasonable, compared to other vendors in the area.

wearing stage makeup. She did a FREE consultation for me and really listened to how I wanted to look on my wedding day. I do not have perfect skin, not even close, and Cat made me look like a flawless, more beautiful version of me on my wedding day. I could not be more pleased with her services! Her prices are competitive as well.

e made me feel special with a natural glow. I had my trial run on the same day as my bridal shower. I got so many compliments. Everyone said i looked great and I still looked like myself. She is very professional and works with all kinds of skin tones. My bridal party is mixed with african american and causasian and she really knows her stuff! Thanks

ng and she showed up on time with her assistant VERY early the morning of the wedding. She totally understood the look I was wanting and executed it perfectly. I have recommended her to another bride and she was extremely pleased as well. Her pricing is very competitive and excellent work for the price.
