What I loved most was her energy, she showed so much genuine excitement and friendliness throughout the entire process, which made getting ready so fun and relaxing. To top it all off, my makeup looked absolutely flawless and lasted all night long, even through all the dancing. If you are a bride looking for a talented, kind, and passionate makeup artist, look no further!

My wedding makeup turned out absolutely incredible, and she also did an amazing job on my mother-in-law and my two sisters—everyone was beyond happy with how they looked. She was punctual, extremely professional, and truly a pleasure to work with throughout the entire experience.
I’m so grateful to have had her as my makeup artist for such an important day. I highly recommend her!

inely puts you first Katerina is your girl.
From day one, she made me feel taken care of. She opened her home to me for the most amazing trial, and I walked out knowing I had found someone extraordinary. She is warm, positive, and an absolute godsend.
On my wedding day, Katerina showed up early, ready, and excited. She made everyone look beautiful—my bridal party, my family, and most importantly, she made me feel beautiful. She handled everything with such calm, kindness, and professionalism that I truly don’t know what I would have done without her.
I adore her. If I could be her best friend, I would! She is that special

on my wedding day. I highly recommend any bride to book with Katrina for your special day, you will not regret it!
Katrina is so kind, patient, reliable, and made me feel the most beautiful. I used her for my bridal shower and wedding makeup, and she takes time to listen to what you truly want ...
and executes it perfectly. She’s such a calming and fun presence to be around, I have already recommended her to numerous friends and future brides who are looking for a makeup artist. You won’t regret booking with her, I have found my MUA for life!!!
I want to take a moment to thank my amazing wedding day makeup artist Katrina! Katrina was a joy to work with from our first introduction. We shared a mutual friend who sent me her...
profile and I immediately knew she was the girl for me! I didn’t have time for a trial, but it was not necessary because she made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! I never once had to touch up my makeup the entire day, but she gave me a little pack just in case. She was professional, quick without feeling rushed, kind, and my bridesmaids that used her loved her as well. I have since used her again for my sisters wedding and got compliments all day!
I am typically a girl who does her hair and makeup herself, but there is something to be said about getting glammed by Katrina for whatever the occasion may be. She truly makes you feel absolutely gorgeous and every single female deserves to feel that way on their wedding day!
I will continue to use her again in the future and share her name and number with family and friends! If you’re in the NY area, please give her a chance! You will not be disappointed!

beautiful and lasted all night — I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
I can’t recommend Katrina enough! She is truly incredible at what she does. Leading up to the wedding, she kept me updated with texts and details, which showed how organized and th...
oughtful she is. For the trial, she was accommodating and even invited my hairstylist to come over so I could see the whole look at one time.
On the wedding day, she listened to me and my bridal party, making sure everyone’s specific requests were met. When emotions ran high and I started crying, she was the calm in the storm and thanks to her amazing blending work, my makeup didn’t even smudge! She also took extra time to walk my mom and mother-in-law through their eyelash options, which they really appreciated.
Not only is Katrina incredibly talented, but she has such a steady, reassuring presence that makes you feel completely taken care of. I’m so grateful to have had her as part of my day, and I would highly, highly recommend her to any bride.
Katrina is truly beyond outstanding! My wife and I both have complicated skin, and makeup was one of our biggest worries going into our wedding day. During my trial she asked me a ...
bunch of questions followed by lightly running her hands over my face to gauge my skin texture. I had a few trials before her and nobody touched my face or took the amount of time that she did to really understand my needs and concerns. It was evident that she truly listens to her clients because my trial went better than I could have ever imagined. I felt like such an elevated version of myself. A HUGE weight felt lifted off my shoulders knowing I’d feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Fast forward to the wedding day, when she showed me my final bridal look, I was literally in tears. Her work is flawless and far exceeded our expectations.
There are so many makeup artists out there, and with social media filters it’s hard to know what’s real but with Katrina, what you see on her socials is exactly what you get… and even better in person. On top of her incredible talent, she is personable, funny, and beyond professional. Exactly the kind of energy you want on such an important day. Last but certainly not least, not ONE pimple after the trail or wedding day, mind you we got married in mid July. For two acne prone people, that says so much about the products that she uses.
Katrina deserves all the recognition in the world for her craft and just who she is as a person, We love her and are forever grateful!!
Katrina is extremely professional and just makes you feel super comfortable on your big day. I told her I really wanted to still look like myself just with a soft glam vibe and she...
totally got it. My makeup was flawless.
I got married on a 95-degree day, and my makeup stayed perfect from 10:30 AM all the way to 2:00 AM… even after I cried during the ceremony. Not a single smudge!
I seriously cannot wait to work with Katrina again. She’s 100% the makeup artist you want for your wedding. She’s not only amazing at what she does, but also helps you feel calm and relaxed even when the nerves start to kick in.
Katrina was the epitome of a professional for myself and my wedding party. She was kind, knowledgeable and responsive. She made my whole party look flawless and AMAZING! I would re...

Katrina was amazing not only for me but my bridal party! We all felt the most beautiful we have ever been. My makeup was exactly what I imagined and exceeded my expectations. From ...
the consultation to even weeks after the wedding Katrina has been exceptionally professional, caring and has gone above and beyond to answer all my questions.

al was gorgeous...but she stunned me on my wedding day. And let me be very clear -- I cried ( a lot), I sweat my butt off (a lot), it was misty rain outside for a bit - MY MAKEUP DID NOT MOVE. It looked as beautiful at the end of the day as it did in the morning. I was floored that makeup can do that!
I received so many compliments that day and felt like a princess. Katrina was SO kind, SO caring and treated me and my girls with the utmost profesionalism, bringing out the beauty in each one. EVERYONE loved their makeup, and all the guests gushed over how gorgeous everyone looked.

r in Spring of 2023 for a July 2024 wedding because she books up fast! Just take a look at her Instagram, this woman is so talented and helpful that she makes you feel so at ease and is willing to work with you to "get your vibe and look." When I went for my trial in April we went through my dress photos and she helped me come up with my soft glam look. As someone that doesn't normally wear a lot of makeup, Katrina was wonderful with me and helped make adjustments and listen to what I wanted. I had 8 bridesmaids, myself and my mom day of the wedding and everything went off without a hitch. She arrived with another makeup artist a half hour early and was ready to roll, we even finished ahead of schedule. She is just so caring and calming as well, making you feel amazing and relaxed and STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS all at the same time haha. My Instagram is @xokrazykrisxo22, please take a look at the wedding pictures and you will not be dissapointed. I cannot recommend her enough!! The makeup she applied also stayed on all day and all night, through insane humidity too haha. Any further questions please ask me, but do yourself a favor and book KATRINA!!! Thank you!
We traveled from Arkansas to NYC for our 10 year vowel renewal and after a lot of searching we came across Katrina and fell in love with her work and booked her! We could not have ...
asked for a better experience or results! She communicated with us throughout the entire process, had the sweetest soul, made us feel so comfortable but most of all her work was flawless and exactly what she advertises. We have never felt more beautiful then we did that day... and the next day and next day because that makeup lasted and it was way too perfect to wash off! Thank you again Katrina!
There are not enough words to describe how perfect Katrina is. From the moment I met her she made me feel like family with a warm hug and authentic kindness.
I have never looked o...
r felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. I keep looking at my wedding photos not believing it’s me. My husband cried at our first look at how beautiful I was and the time and effort that was put into my look.
Katrina and her team also specialize in mature skin and they made my MIL look and feel perfect. My MIL had a bad experience last time she got her makeup done so she was so nervous to do it again for our wedding. I told her to trust Katrina and let her do what she wants and she did and was blown away. All her siblings cried when they saw her walk down the aisle.
Anytime I get my makeup done I will be working with Katrina. She is the best there is!

weet and honest. Katrina and her team was at the house 5:30am in the rain ready to turn us all into princesses. Very professional 🤍 I couldn’t have been more happier. Everyone complimented my makeup and said I was glowing. There was a women at my wedding who asked “ you look amazing does your face feel heavy?” I said to her “I only feel my lashes, my face feels like I only have moisturizer”
That’s what I love the most. Katrina’s makeup feel so natural, clean and light!
Don’t sleep on Katrina and her team, book her.

al advice to enhance further and truly make it your own look. Her makeup has this amazing phenomenon where you look SUPER glam but don’t feel at all like you’re wearing any makeup. Also gives tons of skincare advice leading up to trial/wedding day. Then day of is also fun, her scheduling is absolutely on point! She makes sure the timing of getting ready and being ready for photos is exactly on the same page. As a result, day of, everyone looked great, she and her assistant put LOTS of time into each person, and we were on time! Also shoutout to the assistant @shelikatabi_mua the bridesmaid and MOG looks were amazing.

Katrina is the best! Since day one she was so kind and got back to me right away I had a ton of questions cause I’m so scared of getting my makeup done since I had bad experiences ...
in the past. She did my makeup for my bridal shower and it was breathtaking I felt like I had nothing on my face to whole day ! She also did my make up for my wedding for me and all my girls / mom / grandma / aunt Katrina costumed and catered to everyone’s skin type! But let me tell you my makeup did not move one bit. It was flawless, I was crying a ton people were kissing and touching my face the whole night and it didn’t get ruined my lashes stayed the entire night and I didn’t even lift I actually had to put soap and water to get them off which is a huge plus on your wedding day ! I can’t say enough good things about Katrina and her team if you’re a bride getting married Katrina is your girl for all your needs !
Katrina and her team were the absolute best on my wedding day! They were so kind and really listened to what both myself and the girls wanted. Katrina was there early and put us al...
l at ease the entire time. Our makeup lasted the entire night through pictures in the hot July sun and through dancing the night away on the dance floor. If I had to do it over again I would definitely choose Katrina and her team and I look forward to using her again in the future for all of the life events to come!

day, even though we were taking pictures outside, 88 degree weather. I received so many compliments all night and my friends asking me who did my makeup. She is so amazing to work with and I highly recommend her for your wedding/birthday etc, you won’t be disappointed!!
Katrina has absolutely blown me not once but twice now. I had the privilege of using her services as a bridesmaid and now as a bride myself. As a bridesmaid, she knew exactly how t...
o communicate with you, make sure you felt comfortable and not rush you. Katrina prioritizes anyone who is sitting in her chair. It’s all on eyes you, she really makes sure she doesn’t miss a beat.
As a bride, I don’t even know where to begin. Her professionalism is beyond measure. Her kindness is unreal, and her quality of work is undeniably unmatched. If you feel you don’t know how to approach your look, she creates it for you, she listens to you and she takes it away. The entire time I felt comfortable, relaxed and truly special. She made my mother look like a doll, absolutely beautiful and “age appropriate”, no nonsense. Katrina knows very well how to differentiate age groups when it comes to makeup styles. Katrina truly prioritizes you and her timing is supreme. The day of my wedding she had a solid 10 extra min to spare (which I’d you have been in bridal parties before, that is not always the case) and I looked flawless, FLAWLESS LADIES. Her team is wonderful! They are kind, talented Individuals. This business is not easy, but Katrina undoubtedly exceeds the expectations. Do not hesitate on her work. Ask yourself this:
Do you want to feel comfortable in your own skin?
Do you want your bridesmaids to feel flawless?
Can you handle tear jerking moments of happiness?
Do you enjoy laughing and feeling like you just met a long lost family member?
Do you want to know that someone has years, YEARS of experience and knows how to work a clock better than the machine itself?
Do you want your mother to feel good and glowing? How about your FMIL 🫣 😘
……………..then don’t walk, run to KATRINANyc,
Bc she does God’s work.
No really her hands are palates 🤷🏻♀️

Go ahead and book my girl and STUN your guests and your Prince Charming on your special day! ♥️
