Meet Kate
Makeup Artist, Boy Mum and Tea Lover.
I'm a lawyer-turned-makeup artist, but makeup has always been my passion (and at times, my therapy). I love a cup of tea and a good book or an aperol spritz with good friends. I can't walk past a Mecca or Sephora (or a Messina) without going inside. I grow dahlias. I want to pat every dog I meet. I'm an empath. I might be a Maximalist when it comes to my kit, but I'm a Minimalist when it come to application. I see beauty in enhancing the natural features, and skill in restraint.
My Vision
My specialty is creating elevated and chic makeup that is truly timeless, and makes you feel like the most beautiful, confident version of yourself.
​
My focus is on creating balance and harmony within your features, using colour theory as well as application techniques.
What won't you get? While some artists do it all, if you want a full glam look with a statement winged liner (and if you do, I LOVE that for you), I'm not your girl. I just live for that fresh, effortless-yet-sophisticated look.

My Philosophy
I don't believe you have to choose between looking good in person or in photos, you absolutely can have both. Natural makeup can be both long wearing and show up in photos; you will likely be wearing more makeup than usual, but that doesn't mean it needs to be caked on to the point where you're unrecognisable.
​Makeup is not paint-by-numbers: I strongly believe that you will look and feel your best if you stay true to what suits your own skin type, colouring and features, rather than trying to copy the makeup of someone who looks completely different to you.
