Kat was my makeup artist for my wedding in July. Makeup has always been apart of my life. The moment I got engaged I was already looking at makeup styles for my wedding. It was very important for me to find a perfect makeup artist that could make my dream come true. We found Kat and she was a makeup goddess!!
On my wedding day my makeup was flawless and I felt beyond beautiful.
She also did an amazing job for my sister and mom!
Our makeup looked flawless the whole day.. it lasted very well on a hot summer night!
Kat is absolutely amazing! I booked her two years in advance to ensure I could make sure she was available to do my wedding make up. She made everything such a seamless easy process. Kat gave me the best bridal look, she is also so sweet & makes you feel so comfortable! Definitely book with Kat <3
Kat is the absolute BEST of the best!!!! I discovered her on Instagram over 2 years before my wedding and fell in love with her work! I booked her without a trial and it was the best decision!! The entire planning process, she was so sweet and helpful in all communication, and was the most responsive of our vendors.
She took the best care of me and all my girls!! We all felt the most beautiful we had ever felt! My makeup lasted all day and night :) I refused to take it off and slept in it so I could enjoy the glam in the morning lol!
Kat used the most gorgeous makeup products that she imports from Poland, and I was so happy to be able to buy a few of my favorite products of hers so that I could always remember my wedding day with her. They were also perfect for touch ups!!
Kat was a dream to hang out with on my wedding day, she felt like one of my besties!! I just love and adore her so much, and would highly recommend her to any bride! 🩷
After my husband and I had a conflict with the photography timeline and lost out on majority of photos/memories, we reached out to Kat to see if it would be possible for her to do my makeup again in two short months for a wedding reshoot. Kat was SO incredible and somehow squeezed me in last minute. She absolutely nailed it and totally recreated my wedding day look so that the reshoot glam looked exactly like my wedding day! I couldn’t have been happier and more grateful for her.
Kat is beyond talented. It was such an honor having Kat do my makeup twice, and I cannot wait to have her do my makeup for future events. She will 1000% without a doubt make any and all brides wedding day the most special ever 💕
Any questions?
Five Stars Isn't Enough!
Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but booking Kat was a breeze! Kat is truly AMAZING!!! Every interaction was professional, respectful, and seamless. She's a master makeup artist!
Kat worked magic on my MOH, daughter, MOB, MIL, and me. We felt stunning! She used high-quality products that lasted all day, even through rain on my wedding day!
I highly recommend booking Kat ASAP! She's priceless!
Check out my TikTok (ladye_____) for better quality pics, but trust me, Kat's work speaks for itself.
I would recommend Kat over and over! She is so fun and sweet, and she is beyond talented. I showed her the look I wanted, and she absolutely nailed it. She made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life. My makeup stayed all day and all night. I also did a makeup trial with her the night before my bridal shower and it lasted all night and the entire next day for my shower. I can’t wait to use her again for events in the future!
Wow wow wow! If I could leave more stars I would. Kat was so amazing to work with and made all of my makeup dreams come true. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. She is amazing at what she does and I could not recommend her more highly. Choosing her for your wedding day is an absolute must!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/24/2024
Thank you so much Amanda for all your kind words! It was such a pleasure to be your makeup artist for the big day and I'm super happy you loved the look. Congrats one more time!!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kat as the makeup artist for my wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough! Not only is she an incredibly kind and sweet person, but her expertise truly shines through in her work. She made the entire process, from scheduling the trial to the big day itself, stress-free and enjoyable. Kat was super flexible when it came to fitting my trial into my busy schedule, which I really appreciated.
On the day of the wedding, she worked seamlessly alongside my hairstylist, maintaining a high level of professionalism while ensuring everything was perfect. Despite the heat of July, my makeup stayed flawless all day and night, which is a testament to her skill and choice of high-quality products.
Kat also brought such positive energy to the day, making the entire experience fun and relaxing. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist! Thank you, Kat, for making me feel beautiful and confident on my special day!
I HIGHLY recommend using Kat!! She is AMAZING and SO talented! She truly listens to you to bring your makeup vision to life! She is so sweet, friendly, personable, professional and I truly enjoyed having her there with me the morning of the wedding! My makeup lasted ALL DAY (& it was hot outside!) My bridesmaids also loved her and were so happy with how they looked! I highly recommend using Kat!
My dearest Kat,
I just wanted to take the time to say thank you! You truly have no idea how special and beautiful you made me feel on my wedding day! Not only are you an absolute ANGEL and made me feel like I was rekindling with my BFF from high school, you are the most talented and genuine make up artist 🩷 I’m beyond grateful that our paths crossed and that I was able to have you apart of my glam squad for my special day. Not only me, but all my girls were amazed at the quality of make up, as well as the durability! It was literally 90 degrees out with 76% humidity and none of our make up even moved the slightest! You are true QUEEN and deserve the world!
Thank you again for bringing my vision to life and for making my momma, my girls, and I feel confident & beautiful!
Hands down couldn’t recommend Kat more!!! A true professional, artist, and the sweetest angel! Hiring Kat was the easiest part about wedding planning 🩷
Kat is an absolute doll! I found her through a Facebook group and after viewing her instagram page, I knew she’d be the perfect makeup artist to book for my wedding. During the trial she really listened to my vision and recreated the inspo picture I gave her to a tee! When it came to wedding day when I wanted to make a few tweaks to the look, she was so receptive and was able to recreate it EXACTLY how I wanted. My makeup did not smudge even a little bit the entire day and I got so many compliments. Overall, I would highly recommend Kat and will definitely be using her again for future events! Thank you so much Kat! :)
Kat,
I can't thank you enough for the truly amazing wedding day experience. I was lucky enough to have Kat do my makeup for my sisters wedding in November 4, 2022 and knew that I'd book her again for my own wedding May 17, 2024. Kat is a sweet, personable, reliable, and an amazing artist that takes pride in her work. Her enthusiasm and passion for her job makes the morning prep so calming that I'd recommend her to anyone. She does an amazing full glam look and would have her do my makeup for future events in a heart beat.
When I say that Kat is an angel sent from above, I mean it! I do not even have the words to describe how talented she is - Kat truly is an artist and master of her craft. I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how she did my makeup and my mom’s makeup for both of our trial and on the actual wedding day - I’ve told her so many times that she is literally a magician! Countless people asked us where we got our makeup done because they couldn't believe how great it looked. Everything about the makeup was flawless, lasted all day/night, and surpassed my expectations (which were already high from the beautiful work on her Instagram). I was interested in a soft glam look and my mom wanted a more natural look, and she knocked both out of the park. She listened to exactly what we wanted and brought our vision to life, but even better! I very rarely feel beautiful, and I couldn’t have felt more stunning on the most special day of my life, all thanks to her. Outside of how incredibly talented she is, she is also a joy to be around. She can light up a room with her charismatic, fun, sweet, personality and instantly makes you feel comfortable - it’s like you’re getting ready with your best girl friend. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive, professional, punctual, detail-oriented, and easy to get in touch with, too. There was not a moment I felt stressed when it came to my makeup because I knew I was in the best hands possible!! Booking Kat was the best decision I made and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!! if you want to feel gorgeous, confident, and at ease when it comes to your wedding makeup, it’s a no brainer to go with Kat <3 I cannot express my gratitude enough!!!
I cannot even put into words how truly gifted Kat is. Not only is she a literal magician when it comes to makeup, but she is truly such a free spirited and enjoyable person to be around. Her attention to detail and true passion for makeup are just two of many amazing qualities I love about her. I felt so at ease on my wedding morning knowing she was going to make me feel so so beautiful. My makeup did not move the entire day and night and I’m still getting compliments about it! I feel so lucky to have had Kat as my makeup artist and I can’t wait to book her for any and all future events.
Love you Kat 🫶🏻
KAT!! Where do I even start! When I was first looking for a makeup artist for the wedding I searched through what felt like hundreds of profiles. A friend of mine actually sent me Kat’s profile and I INSTANTLY fell in love! Her makeup looked beautiful on everyone in every occasion. I was so excited to finally have my trial and was blown away from that day. Then I booked my rehearsal dinner, and of course the wedding! Each time I went, I knew I would look flawless. Wedding makeup on all my girls looked amazing and stayed the whole night along with mine. I actually had to work alittle to get it off! If you’re looking for someone for makeup you’re in good hands with Kat. She’s amazing, so funny, and such a pleasure to work with. Can’t wait for my next event needing makeup!!
Kat is so incredibly talented, professional, and a joy to work with - you definitely want her a part of your day! My makeup was perfect and lasted all day even with all the emotional moments! I walked down the aisle feeling so beautiful and confident , she completely listened to my vision and was so easy to work with if their was something I wanted to change from my trial, for example I ended up wanting a different lip and longer lashes. Makeup was important to me and the way my pictures were scheduled I opted for her package to stay longer for touch ups even though I probably didn’t need them but I knew I would cry and wanted the peace of mind. Including me there were 13 of us to get ready. I love a full glam look as I wear a lot of makeup and am so hard to please getting my makeup done I’m still in awe of her work! Some of my bridesmaids wanted a more natural look and everyone LOVED their makeup!! Kat is an amazing person and make my getting ready experience so calm and special it was truly a day to remember. Also when I saw Kat’s work I booked her immediately without trial and opted to do my trial closer to the wedding because I knew she’d kill it! She was very easy to communicate with up to the wedding day and available for any questions I had big or small. You will not regret booking her!
I do not know where to begin! Kat was the first vendor I hired in 2022 for my 2024 wedding. She did my trial on the day of my shower, which worked out perfectly. I went with a softer look & received so many compliments. I went full glam on my wedding day & I am so glad I did. My make up lasted all night into the morning. My pictures and video came out amazing. I can rant and rave about Kat’s talent as a make up artist, but as a person she is truly amazing and so down to earth. Talking to her on my wedding morning was a huge stress reliever. I couldn’t ask for a better glam team 🤍 THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES 🤍🤍🤍
Booking Kat was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. I cannot say enough good things about working with her. She was so easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding, and was so sweet and fun to have around the day of. I even booked Kat without a trial because I knew she would nail my bridal look and OMG did she deliver!! Every picture and video she posts absolutely blows me away, so I knew I was in good hands. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law are still talking about how flawless all of our makeup was, and how long it lasted. Kat just made me feel like the absolute most beautiful bride, and she nailed the full glam look I was looking for. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Not only that, I felt so comfortable. I didn’t feel like I had caked on makeup, and my false lashes were comfortable too. Working with Kat is an absolute must!!!! It was such a pleasure to work with a vendor who was so professional and absolutely amazing at her craft. I only wish I could use Kat for my everyday makeup looks!
Working with Kat was an absolute dream for my wedding. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and calming presence made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I had gotten a makeup trial done and slept with it for my bridal shower the next day - my makeup did not budge! Despite the many tears shed on my actual wedding day, my makeup remained absolutely perfect by the end of the night. The compliments from family, friends, and those who saw pictures were endless! I couldn't have asked for a better artist to have on my special day. Highly recommend!!
After Kat did my makeup as a bridesmaid, I knew I had to have her for my own wedding!! I am a perfectionist, and Kat’s work is flawless. She made me feel absolutely stunning, along with everyone in my bridal party, including my mom and MIL. She truly knows how to apply makeup for every age and skin type. She took the time to really listen to my wants and needs, even taking the time to apply individual lashes to my sensitive eyes. Not only is she professional and experienced, almost more importantly, it is immediately evident how much pride she takes in her craft, how she LOVES what she does, and how she genuinely cares about her brides. She’ll have you instantly feeling like you have known her forever! As a bride you stress about so many things, especially on the morning of your wedding, but with Kat I had one less thing to stress over choosing her as my makeup artist. You will not regret choosing Kat!
Kat was simply amazing. She not only made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself but my bridesmaids, mother and even grandmother felt young and beautiful. She is so passionate about her work and she makes sure your makeup is picture perfect. Not only is she an amazing artist but she is genuine, professional and so easy to get along with. I felt like we’ve been friends forever. She was genuinely interested in my life and career and it made me feel so comfortable. She is so easy to communicate with during the wedding process. She is flexible if plans change- I originally had 16 girls which changed to 18 girls the week of and Kat and her team not only did an amazing job, they finished in a timely manor. So many people have reached out to me after the wedding asking about my makeup and I would recommend her 1000x over again. She truly exceeded my makeup expectations!!! :)
Kat is an absolute dream and will make you look and feel like a queen on your wedding day! She is extremely talented and has the ability to tweak any inspo look to best compliment your features. Her eyelash application and ability to blend shadows is unmatched. She works magic and her makeup application lasts throughout the entire day! Beyond her talent, she is super kind and fun. On my wedding day she made myself and the other girls feel so comfortable and at ease. The whole morning felt like we were hanging out with a long time friend. I cannot thank her enough for the special wedding day look she created for me, and for how confident she helped me to feel. Thank you so much Kat <3

Words can’t begin to describe how much I LOVE Kat and how amazing she is! She has a true gift when it comes to makeup and she made everyone looks absolutely beautiful!! We got so many compliments on our makeup and it lasted all day/night. She made everything so smooth and easy. She has great energy, is so sweet, and professional. She is accommodating and really listens to the look you want. I would 10000% recommend Kat! Girls if she has your date available book her!!! You won’t be disappointed!
There’s not enough words for this amazing artist!! I found her through a Facebook bride page, coming highly recommend !! I got married in Nov of 2021 and she was 9 months pregnant and still made it to the big day. Her work is flawless, she truly listens to everything you say and does exactly what you want. I had so many compliments on my makeup, it lasted all day & night!!! I can’t recommend her enough, you will not be disappointed !!!!
I had such an incredible experience working with Kat! With my large bridal party, mothers of the bride/ groom & aunts, there was a total of 15 who needed glam the morning of my wedding. The earliest start time my venue allowed was 9:00 am, and we all had to be ready by 1:30. I was so stressed over timing but Kat and her team were so organized and punctual and had us all ready right on time. The entire morning ended up being so perfect and stress free. Kat was so amazing to work with from start to finish. When I met her for my trial it felt like I knew her forever, she made me feel so relaxed and really listened to what I wanted and made sure I was completely satisfied with my look. My entire bridal party loved how their makeup turned out. I would without a doubt suggest Kat & her team to any bride- you will not be disappointed!! 💗 👰🏼♀️
I was feeling extremely overwhelmed when looking for a makeup artist when my sister sent me Kat's instagram. I saw a few girls on her IG that I knew and loved their makeup. I booked my trial and immediately booked her. Kat is extremely sweet and her work is amazing! My bridesmaids absolutely loved Kat and they all look gorgeous! My makeup come out better than I could have imagined and it lasted until the next morning.
I’m alittle late to reviews, but I wanted to take the time to say how amazing my experience was with Kat. From booking my consultation, the consultation itself and day of the wedding. She was such a pleasure to work with, super talented and professional. Her work a was flawless, she really listened to my vision and took my inspo pics and bought them to life. I found her through Instagram and I honestly have nothing but great things to say about her work and also her personality. Her team was also very talented! My sisters and cousins who rarely wear make up because they are super picky were super obsessed with their make up day off. It was a relief for me to know everybody was felt so beautiful and happy with the work done.
Kat is AMAZING! I literally could not imagine anyone else doing my makeup for my special day. She is a true professional and one of the best vendors I worked with for my wedding. She responds to my emails and questions quickly and is very organized. She takes her time and ensures you love your makeup look. She made my vision come to life and i appreciate her really taking the time to make my makeup look awesome and full out for my trial when i told her i was having my first fitting that day. I will never use anyone else for my makeup she is truly amazing. Even when it was the day of the wedding we just talked like we were friends and she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. She is so thorough and talented but it goes beyond that. You get so stressed planning and leading up to your wedding that it’s important to find a talented vendor but also a professional and reliable vendor and that is exactly Kat. I felt no stress and had zero worries about my makeup and it was so nice having one less thing to worry about.
I am so happy I booked Kat for my wedding! She was amazing and made myself, mom, and bridesmaids feel and look beautiful! We got so many compliments on our makeup and it lasted throughout the night. She is a great listener and she is very accommodating. Definitely book Kat as your makeup artist for your wedding, she is the best!!!!
Words cannot express how wonderful Kat is as a person and in her craft! She will truly make you feel the best version of yourself on your wedding day! She is super responsive, sweet and just an overall lovely person. She was very receptive to making certain tweaks between my trial and wedding day, creating an overall look that I absolutely loved. Most important, my makeup did not move at all, and I got married outside on a 90 degree day. Could not recommend her enough!
Katiness did my makeup twice one for a wedding I was in and for my own wedding. After using her the first time I loved my makeup so much I knew I wanted her to do my makeup for my wedding day. You tell her exactly what you want and she does it. Highly recommend a makeup trial with her as well! She is literally the most talented makeup artist I have ever met! Her work doesn’t disappoint and her makeup last all day and looks amazing in your photos! She’s a very kind and sweet person to work with making your experience a good one! 🤍🥰🫶
Looksbykatiness was amazing to work with! Before the wedding she was very responsive to emails and so helpful with any questions. I would suggest doing a trial ahead of time it made me feel more comfortable as someone who doesn't always wear make up it put my mind at ease. On my wedding day I couldn't have asked for anything more. I felts beautiful and so confident. The whole team was so nice and a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend working with her!
The best!! She was the first vendor that I booked and she did not disappoint. After the trial I wanted to make some minor changes and on the day of the wedding she remembered all the changes. Her attention to detail is impeccable. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for their wedding day makeup! The makeup stayed put the entire night even though I didn’t leave the dance floor.
Kat did my make up for my wedding and she was so amazing and made me feel so beautiful for my big day! She took her time and worked with me to achieve the exact look I was hoping for. I was amazed by how well my make up stayed through the entire night from around 9 am until the very end of my reception! I don’t usually wear make up so it was out of my comfort zone but I loved the look and so did my husband. I hope to get my make up done by again some day!
I can't say enough good things about Kat! From the trial to the day of - she nailed it every time. Kat has a gift and she was a joy to work with. She was always responsive, on time and patient. The day of my wedding she and her assistant were prompt, organized and made everyone feel glamorous. To this day my bridesmaids still talk about their makeup. I am so thankful to have had her on my team!
Kat is amazing! She is the best out there, and so sweet and professional. She was the first vendor I booked. If there was anything I was sure about for my wedding, it was that it had to be her doing my makeup. Kat took my inspo and all my insecurities and made me feel more beautiful and confident than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. I cannot recommend her enough – my makeup lasted for over 12 hours, and whether you’re looking for a soft look or full glam, she can really do it all. I can’t wait for future events where I’ll need my makeup done again! Obviously I will be booking Kat.
Thank you !!! Looksbykatiness for all your hard work and dedication. For being prompt on time and making the wedding party look beautiful. We were so blessed to have you. Your prices are great and you never failed Us you gave each and every girl exactly what they wanted for their makeup and as the bride I couldn’t be happier in your services. I will be using your services in the future for sure.
Literally could not have asked for a more amazing makeup artist for my wedding! From the moment I met Kat for my wedding makeup trial/ mother of the bride makeup trial, Kat was instantly welcoming!
She makes you feel super comfortable and literally does the exact same as any picture you show her and completely exceeded my expectations.
Kat is very professional and knows exactly what she’s doing.
She made my glam dreams come true. So many compliments and people asking who did my makeup on my wedding day!
I found Kat on instagram and it was the best decision to book my trial/wedding makeup with her. HIGHLY recommend her if you’re in the NJ/NY area! She’s amazing and you will not be let down! Thank you again Kat, I can’t wait to book you for future events ❤️
Things to expect from Kat as one of her former brides:
1. Timely, warm, and professional responses.
2. Great listener when discussing style, tone, and brand preferences.
3. A trial that actually includes a full face (I've heard shortcuts taken by makeup artists here).
4. A face that photographs exceptionally well without shine for over 6+ hours (even though 90 degree weather).
5. Prompt arrival the day of the wedding (a few min ahead to prep station instead of filling makeup application time with prep work).
6. A beautiful & fun individual with truly calming energy with is key for your big day!
Kat was the first vendor I booked for my wedding! I actually made sure she was available before finalizing with our venue! She is the kindest human and will make you feel like your best self on your wedding day! She asked me about my preference throughout the process and MADE MAGIC HAPPEN! I would recommend her 10000%
I knew I wanted Kat to do my make up the moment I found her on Instagram. Her before and afters were stunning!!! I only booked one trial and it was with her. We came up with some tweaks and she killed it the day of my wedding. Exactly what I was picturing and my make up lasted all night, I was sad to wash it off! I recommended Kat to my friend who hired her for her wedding day and I was lucky enough to have my make up done by her again! I recommend Kat to everyone I know. She’s so kind but professional and really listens to your concerns/desires and delivers!
What can I say other than Kasia is one of the most talented make-up artists in the area! Not to mention that she is also the sweetest person you'll meet. She did my make-up for a couple of weddings that I attended but she did an outstanding job with my wedding make-up. She listened and did exactly what I asked for. I have blemishes on my face as well as acne scars and she covered everything seamlessly. Love her!!!
I had the best experience working with Kat. She is extremely professional, detail-orientated, creative, and kind. Kat is truly a master of her craft and puts effort into every single detail. I recommended Kat to EVERYONE! My best friend ended up booking Kat for her wedding, so I was very happy to have Kat do my bridesmaid makeup up :) I can't wait to work with Kat again for future events :)
Kat is a true professional! She made me feel and look like an absolute queen on my wedding day. She is extremely talented and knowledgeable in her craft; making sure every final detail is absolutely perfect!
Kat is a true artist and made me feel so confident on my wedding day. She listens to your preferences and is so sweet. Thank you so much!!!
Kat is a true artist and made me feel so confident on my wedding day. She listens to your preferences and is so sweet. A pleasure to work with!!!
Trust me, this is the only person you want doing your wedding makeup. She is amazing and it lasts all day and all night!! She takes her time and is very detailed with what requests you may have. I guarantee you will not regret choosing her as your make up artist
Kat was an amazing makeup artist and an incredibly sweet person! She pays so much attention to detail and my makeup was flawless! It stayed perfect all night even after pictures in 80 degree weather. Highly recommend!!!
If I could leave Kat 10 stars, I would !! Kat and her team were just amazing. She listened to every little detail I asked and absolutely killed it. Kat and her team made me and the girls feel amazing. I couldn’t recommend Kat enough !
Kat was simply the best! She was very responsive throughout the entire booking process through the wedding day. She listened to exactly what makeup style I was looking for and my makeup stayed perfect the entire day and night with no touch ups needed! I would book her again if I could do it all over again!
Kat worked her magic on our wedding day, and she truly did an incredible job. I looked like an Armenian princess! The moment my husband laid eyes on me, he was left speechless, which was exactly what I had hoped for. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my makeup, and it lasted flawlessly throughout the entire night. The fact that my makeup remained intact without smudging or fading was nothing short of amazing. It allowed me to fully enjoy the festivities without any worries. If you're in search of a talented makeup artist in the tri-state area, I highly recommend Katiness. Her skills are exceptional, and she knows how to create a look that makes you feel like royalty. I am immensely grateful to Kat for her artistry and professionalism. She played a significant role in making my wedding day truly special, and I have no doubt she will do the same for anyone who chooses her services.
Kat was a dream to work with!! My makeup looked flawless and I was so happy with our conversations. I ended up changing the look a bit from our trial run and Kat gave me exactly what I was looking for. I'm a full glam girl who wanted glitter, sparkle, etc. and Kat gave me just that! 10/10 recommend working with Kat!
Kat was the absolute best makeup artist, hands down! She did my makeup for my wedding day and I went for more of a natural glam look and she totally nailed it! My skin looked beyond perfect and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to do my makeup. My sister is now using her for her wedding day and I cannot wait for Kat to do my makeup again! Highly recommend Kat, she’s so professional, organized and even showed up early on my wedding day to begin which definitely helped ease my wedding jitters!
Working with Kat for my wedding makeup was the best decision ever!!! Her communication throughout the whole process was fantastic. She made the experience personal and truly tailored the day around me. My makeup was phenomenal and lasted the entire wedding day. I STILL get compliments on it! The attention to detail she provides is like no other! She is a true artist, not to mention one of the sweetest people ever!!! BOOK HER ASAP!

I hired Kat for my wedding day, she went above and beyond to make me feel and look my absolute best. I have never felt more beautiful in my life. Her makeup and artistry skills are unmatched. Kat is extremely talented and puts so much effort into all of her looks. Kat is also very professional, responsive, and listens to her clients vision. I would definitely recommend Kat to all future brides and any person looking to get glammed!
I’ve had a few bad experiences with makeup artists and it took me a while to find Kat! The moment I found her I was confident she would do an amazing job! I’m truly lucky to have found her for my wedding. Not only was I confident in my skin but she made me look like a princess! The makeup lasted all night. She’s also the sweetest and most pleasant vendor to work with. She’s pretty affordable for the amazing work she does! My experience with Kat was beyond amazing. I would recommend her 100%!!
I’m posting a picture of my trial along some of my wedding photos so you could see her amazing work!
Not much to say except everything was more than perfect! We had our trial first and didn’t think it could be better on the wedding day, and it absolutely was!
Kat is AMAZING! I got married in April of 2022. While I did not have a wedding party, I had quite a few people getting ready with me morning of. It was organized chaos, and Kat and her team were flexible & efficient throughout the day. Our makeup stayed all day long, and everyone looked and felt gorgeous. Highly recommend Kat!
Kat is so incredibly talented!! I knew I needed her as my make up artist for my wedding the moment I saw her work. Not only did she make me look and feel beautiful for my wedding, she was beyond professional and so kind. I am so lucky that I was able to have Kat as my makeup artist for my wedding day and will absolutely be using her for future events!
Kat is nothing short of amazing as a person and as an artist! My trial and wedding day makeup were both perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Her team does incredible work as well, all of my girls were thrilled with their looks, and my makeup lasted all throughout the night! She is super super talented and a true delight to work with. I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day thanks to her.
I get so many messages about who did my makeup for my wedding! & I quickly get to my search bar and send over Kats info!! I will never not take a chance to adore her and show off her work because she is AMAZING!! We worked through Covid together and she made sure I looked absolutely stunning for BOTH my weddings!! I cannot recommend her enough! You won’t regret it!!
Two words: hire her!!! Kat is one of the most talented MUA’s that I know. She understood my vision from our very first conversation and made suggestions to elevate the look. She can work with ANY face and will make you look the best you ever have. I don’t usually write reviews but vouching for Kat’s artistry is truly worth my time. She is unbelievable at what she does and an absolute dream to work with. She made me feel like a super model from the moment I sat in her chair until the very last brush stroke. I’d love to keep her all for myself but she’s too good to gate-keep. If you’re looking for a MUA that will execute exactly what you want, and then make it even better, then Kat is your girl.

Kat is a true professional artist! I sobbed several times throughout the day and my makeup did not move!!! (No I am not being dramatic). I had a trial with her 1 year prior and she was flexible in making some changes I wanted. Her and her team brought out the natural beauty in the moms and bridesmaids and made everyone feel their best!
As soon as I got engaged, I knew I wanted Kat as my makeup artist for my wedding. After visiting my venue, I messaged Kat for her availability. I was absolutely willing to book my wedding date around her schedule! Not only is Kat extremely talented, she is incredibly kind and down to earth. I needed to change my wedding date, and Kat worked with me to make herself available. I will forever be grateful for her being so flexible and understanding. If you want to feel and look like a queen, Kat is your girl. She is the best.
Kat is the BEST!! She was recommended by someone I knew and at my trial we clicked and her work was fabulous! She did my makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier with it! It was a hot summer day and it stayed perfectly. She listened to things I wanted or didn’t want and made me feel so beautiful. She did my mom’s makeup as well and now she is also hooked on Kat! We then booked her for my sister’s wedding a year later!! Still the best and everyone loved their makeup!! She is beyond talented, professional and an all around kind human. She is always my go-to for any makeup I need for events.
Kat was amazing!!!! She listened to exactly what I liked and tried a few different looks with me to get it perfect before the big day and then executed flawlessly that day! I felt so beautiful and my makeup lasted the entire day with no touch ups needed!! She’s amazing and would HIGHLY recommend booking her!!
When I first saw Kat’s work I knew she was the makeup artist I wanted to use on my wedding day. I was not disappointed as not only is her technique unlike what I have ever seen as I have used multiple makeup artists in the past but she’s also a delight to work with and made the process so seamless from the scheduling to trial to wedding day. The best way to describe Kat’s work is absolutely beautifully transformational while leaving your natural essence. From the makeup trial to my wedding day, she did a phenomenal job and made me feel so beautiful. My makeup was not only flawless but it lasted all night long. She made my vision come to life and I couldn’t be happier with how I looked. If I could rate her higher than five stars, I would. If you’re looking for a makeup artist for your special day or any occasion I highly recommend Kat!
I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day thanks to Kat! I scheduled a trial prior to the wedding and ended up loving it so much that I booked her for my rehearsal dinner makeup, too. My mom and bridesmaids were all so happy with their makeup as well and everyone’s stayed on perfectly all night! Kat was so nice to work with - professional, accommodating, so sweet, and a perfectionist in the best way. I highly recommend her!!
Kat was recommended to me by my cousin when I was getting married. She was very professional, replied to emails/texts in a timely manner and was very organized. Kat knows what she is doing & listens to what you are looking for! I never wear a lot of makeup, but she glammed me up to where I felt comfortable and beautiful. The makeup came out amazing in photos too! On the day of the wedding, Kat was on time with each bridesmaid, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, etc. I can not recommend her enough!
Kat is the only other person I trust with my makeup. Her work is flawless and stunning and lasts all day and night long. I had family who turned down makeup the day of my wedding and regretted it deeply when they saw how beautiful we all looked. But in addition to her talent, she is super friendly and down to earth. From the moment I reached out to book my wedding day she was nothing but sweet and responsive. She asked what I wanted and executed it perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!!! Do yourself a favor and book with her, I promise you won't regret it!
Kat was one of the vendors that I was most excited for on my big day, and she completely exceeded my very high expectations. From the first time I reached out to her I was impressed by her responsiveness, and she was also incredibly flexible when it came to booking my trial. In addition to being available for myself and my bridal party, Kat also was able to recommend someone on her team to do makeup for some of my family members back at the hotel. 10/10 so so helpful before the wedding even happened which is a huge relief when there are so many logistics to coordinate.
On the day of the wedding, Kat and her assistant were prompt and professional. I was in love with my makeup and felt so so beautiful in my own skin. She made sure that everyone in the room was satisfied with their makeup, and was even happy to stick around for my photographer once she was finished. Everyone's makeup lasted all day and night, and I received feedback from many that it was the best event makeup they have ever gotten. I would book Kat and her team again in a heartbeat - she is worth every single penny and then some. Book her now!!!
Pictures shared are from the very beginning of the day and the very end of the night so you can see just how amazing Kat's talent is!!
KAT IS THE BEST!!!! Hands down! I've never felt prettier than when Kat has done my makeup! Unfortunately I didn't know of her before my wedding but she's done my friends weddings and my makeup on a few special occasions and there is NO ONE better! She is as talented as she is sweet! She's so down to earth which is rare in this industry! She makes it as though you have a flawless filter on in HD and it's beyond amazing. Her skills are unmatched. Her ability to glam is beyond!!!! I've never loved my makeup more. Truly makes you feel the best you ever felt! It lasts ALL DAY & NIGHT! You never want to take it off because it's THAT good!
I was lucky enough to use Kat for my 2023 wedding after finding her work on Instagram and given great feedback about her from a friend who was her past bride. Kat was truly so easy and amazing to work with from initial inquiry to wedding day! She answered all of my questions and concerns in a way that made me feel confident in my decision of booking her (during a time when a bride is making 100 other decisions this is important). After having an amazing trial which lasted the whole day and evening of engagement pictures on the beach, I knew I had made the right choice. We took pictures and notes during the trial and I was able to tell her any minor changes I ended up deciding I wanted for my wedding day, which she had remembered and ready for me day of. Kat is super knowledgeable in her field, makes you feel heard, and offers great recommendations while listening to what it is you want. I have never felt so beautiful or confident as I did on my wedding day. Kat was one of my favorite vendors of the day! My makeup lasted the whole day and night and was just perfect. I would not have changed a thing. It was the perfect full glam that made me feel like the elevated bridal version of myself I had always dreamed of. I will never get over my makeup from this day and have been waiting for an excuse to book her again for a special event in the future. If Kat is available for your wedding day, snag her while you can. A 10/10 experience in professionalism, overall personality and easiness to work with, organized and on time, beyond sweet, and her work is just incredible. Thank you thank you Kat. <3
Absolutely stunning work! I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding makeup and wouldn’t have changed a thing. Kat was both professional and friendly, making the whole bridal makeup experience memorable. 10/10!!!
I cannot recommend Kat enough. She was so sweet and easy to work with from start to finish. We had a pretty big group of girls and her team got us all finished and touched up with plenty of time to relax before pictures. I have recommended Kat to so many of my friends and other brides in the past. Would easily choose Kat again for a future event!
Kat was my makeup artist for my wedding last April 2023. She was an absolute dream to work with! Very accommodating, kind, talented, and professional. She listens to exactly what you want and makes your vision come to life. She comes right on time and has your makeup done in a prompt fashion. My makeup stayed on all day for 16+ hours. I got so many compliments. She was kind enough to reach out to me after the wedding to ask about how the makeup was. Will continue to book her for all my events!
Kat is AMAZING!!!!!! My make up lasted all night for my wedding and looked perfect in all of my pictures! I would highly recommend her to all the future brides! Kat made the whole process seamless from the booking to the trial to the day of!
Response from the Vendor on 01/26/2024
Thank you so much Lori! Absolutely loved glamming you up and I'm so glad you loved it as well.
First of all, I have never trusted anyone to do my make up for ANY event. I have my make up artistry certification myself and use to work for the knot and wedding wire doing bridal make up. Needless to say I am very particular and Kat exceeded my expectations in every way possible. She did my make up for my friend’s wedding as I was a bridesmaid. Her make up application was flawless and I received so many compliments and was obsessed with my look!! To top it off her personality and energy match her make up artistry skills. She’s down to earth and truly one of a kind. She’s accommodating and will ensure you’re happy with your end result. I will be using her for all future events. She blew me away. I highly recommend her! Don’t walk RUN! She books fast!!
