I had a frustrating experience with this vendor. Long story short: she canceled on me a week and a half before my wedding—after I'd signed a contract with her and put down a deposit—to work on the set of a commercial.
When she broke the news, she told me that she’d gone ahead and transferred my contract to her business partner, without first asking me whether I wanted her to do that. In hindsight, I should have tried to find a new MUA on my own. But I was so busy finalizing wedding details that I just asked her to confirm that her colleague would also be providing the same services (airbrush makeup and lashes) at the same price point. And when she said yes, I told her I'd move forward with him.
Turns out, the new MUA actually *didn't* do airbrush, and he didn't bring enough lashes to let me or my bridal party pick the ones we wanted (so when I told him I didn’t love the super dramatic set he chose for me, my only other option was one type of individual lashes, and I think he may have initially planned to give those to my mom, because she didn’t end up getting any). I can’t exactly fault him for all of that, because he didn’t personally promise me that he’d provide the same services. But Kate told me that she'd spoken to him for 45 minutes, and gave me the impression that he’d be doing everything she would have done.
The new MUA wasn’t untalented. But he pretty much ignored both our inspo pics and our requests (he wouldn’t let one of the bridesmaids wear red lipstick, even after I told him I genuinely wanted her to be able to wear whatever color she felt best in, and he shot down my request for winged eyeliner, even though it’s my go-to look). He also didn’t leave us with any makeup for touch-ups, which was a bummer because my lipstick faded before the ceremony even started. And I felt a little sad when I caught a glimpse of my reflection shortly before walking down the aisle and realized that I didn’t feel like the best version of myself.
My wedding was still wonderful overall, but getting my makeup done was unquestionably the low point of the day. Maybe I would have felt differently if Kate hadn’t given my contract to a stylist who didn’t seem to have a ton of experience working with bridal parties. But, as it was, I really wished I’d saved myself some money and done my own makeup.
Kate was the best! I've never had my make up done professionally before, so I was a little nervous going into the trial. Kate is so nice, she takes time to get to know you, make you feel comfortable and find out exactly what you're looking for. She shows you the progress as she's building your look so that you can tweak things as you go to make sure you get the exact look you want. Kate is such an expert, she knows exactly what she's doing and is extremely conscious of proper sanitation and safety, and I felt 100% comfortable in her hands.
Kate is fantastic and I highly recommend her services! I booked her for my wedding a few weeks ago. She got my vision exactly for my makeup and was super easy to talk through preferences.
Kate knows her way around a make-up brush (and air brush!). She is very accommodating to your needs and was able to schedule me early enough in the morning to make it to my engagement photo shoot on time! I couldn’t be happier with the way my make-up came out based on the request I gave her. I don’t typically wear much make up and was looking for a more natural look, and she had great suggestions to help fit my needs. She’s also super easy going and fun to talk to during the session. I will definitely use her in the future for my make-up needs! Thank you Kate for the confidence boost!
Kate did makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and the mother of the groom on my June wedding day. She's easy to talk to, super easy to work with, and had us all looking amazing. The airbrush was flawless, and Kate was great about understanding exactly what I wanted for my look. We were all so happy with how our makeup turned out, and Kate was great about rolling with the punches and accommodating our hair schedule. I would absolutely recommend her!
Kate was professional, attentive and flexible at my trial, the day of my wedding, and all communication in between. She made everyone in my bridal party look so beautiful, and rolled with the punches when we were running behind schedule. Cannot recommend her enough!
Kate Schelwat from M.A.K.E. (Makeup Artist Kate Elizabeth), did a wonderful job on my wedding day make up. She made me feel like a princess. She has such a fun personality and was easy to talk to. During my makeup trial she even gave me some skin tips and product tips to try. It was my first time every getting airbrushed and eyelashes and I loved it. My mom left her makeup on for the whole next day and was still pleased with how it looked. My friend used Kate for her wedding and recommended her to me and now I am recommending Kate to you! She was fabulous!
Kate was amazing for my wedding! My makeup (along with my bridal party's) was beautiful and lasted all day.
She was very professional, flexible, and helped everything run on schedule when I caused a timing/scheduling issue. She really was the best choice!
Kate did my make-up for my son's wedding. She did such a great job!! She came to the hotel, so I did not have to travel and did my make up exactly how I wanted it done. The airbrush lasted all night and looked flawless in pictures. Thank you so much for making my day stress free!
Kate is a delight to work with. We had a fun trial at her home. She was open to making changes from the trial to the day-of and all our make up (bride + 3 bridesmaids and mother of the groom) turned out perfectly. Great price, great lady, great make up!!
Kate did mine and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding and she did a great job! She did an amazing Smokey eye. I had airbrush done which lasted all day and night, even when we got down poured on. Kate is very talented and she is fun to work with. I would definitely recommend Kate for your wedding!
The majority of my experience was good. However, there was one issue I had.
I got an airbrush look done for my wedding. Which turned out great, I really liked the highlight and blush as well. The eyeshadow was airbrush too and I went with a rose color and turned out great. It was a light, natural look which is what I was going for.
The issue was my eyebrows. Naturally I have light, small shaped eyebrows and she made them a little too dark and thick. It didn’t go with the look at all. Unfortunately , I was not 100% happy with them and wanted it fixed. I mean this is my day and I paid for the service. One of my bridesmaids walked outside to find her and she was still at the barn so she approached Kate and she was not willing to come back into the barn to fix anything. She told my bridesmaid to do it herself even after her telling Kate she wasn’t comfortable fixing it. It kind of showed some true colors about the type of person she is. She also left me with barely enough lipstick to touch up after dinner.
The talent was there but that was about it…
Kate made my ladies and I feel so beautiful. She could tell I was nervous the morning of the wedding and made sure we all were relaxed and had fun. I was done in PLENTY of time for my ceremony!
