About.

Hi, I’m Kate and I’m truly so happy you’re here.

 

I offer a refined service specialising in modern, polished makeup that makes you feel like the most beautiful, confident version of yourself. My philosophy when it comes to makeup is that you will always look and feel your best if you stay true to what suits your own skin type, colouring, features and personality. Inspiration from others is hugely helpful, but I work with you to adapt your inspiration to your own features, rather than trying to recreate the makeup of someone who looks completely different to you. 

 

I work closely with you to understand exactly what your preferences and dislikes are and I approach each application with a focus on meeting your brief while bringing balance and harmony to your features through subtle application techniques and the use of colour theory. 

 

I use mostly high-end and luxury long-wear products and provide a personalised touch up kit to ensure your makeup will stay in place and looking flawless all day and night. I am available to stay for extended touch ups (for example between the ceremony and reception) at an additional cost. If you would like to be quoted for this service, please mention that in your enquiry.

 

Just as importantly as the makeup though is the fact that you spend almost half of your wedding day with your makeup artist, so choosing someone who is a good fit is crucial. I bring a warm, calming presence to your wedding day, allowing you to relax and trust that your day will run on time and your makeup will be executed to perfection. My job is not to set the vibe for the day (because it’s not about me!) but I always aim to match the energy of the getting ready morning.

 

More than anything, my goal is for you to feel calm, confident and heard. If that’s the experience you’re hoping for, please get in touch. I can’t wait to meet you!
