REVIEWS
Kat has done my makeup for both photo shoots as well as for various events. I highly recommend her especially if you are looking for someone who can work with darker skin tones. Professional service as well as talented artistry. You won’t be disappointed!

Kat is truly a gifted artist. I have had my make up done by her a number of times and each time she amazes me. Her energy is magnetic and work is precision. She knows skin care and makes sure you look like you and not costume make up. Thanks Kat!

Kat is really amazing! I worked with her as a photographer on a fashion shoot. The soft glam makeup she did on the model was gorgeous! She also paid close attention to the model during the shoot which saved me quite a bit of retouching in post.
