Love notes

  • “I had a lovely experience with Kate. I was looking for a refresh of my makeup and skincare routine, and she was incredibly helpful and generous with her advice. I feel more confident in my makeup skills, and my skin is very happy!”

    “I requested a private coaching session with Kate after realizing I never learned how to do my own makeup! I met with Kate twice and she listened to my concerns, gave great recommendations for products and then showed me how to use them - all via virtual sessions! Now I can apply my own makeup confidently! I highly recommend Kate to anyone wanting to learn how to apply makeup and to those wanting to learn different techniques.”

  • “Kate did an amazing job for my wedding hair and makeup. I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. The makeup didn’t feel heavy or over the top and she really made me feel like ME. I really appreciated the time she took for our initial consultation and my trial. She listened to my hair and skin concerns and she took those into account along with my preferences, and came up with a beautiful custom look. She is one of the kindest, most genuine people I have met. Her calm nature kept me relaxed and comfortable the morning of my wedding and she really set the tone for how I felt the entire day. She kept checking in with me to see how I was feeling and she was very easy to talk to. Kate made me and my bridesmaids feel absolutely beautiful. I love that she cares about only using clean and cruelty free products and even sprinkled in some makeup knowledge while doing my hair and makeup. I highly recommend working with Kate for any special event you may have. I can’t say enough good things about her and I’m grateful she was there on my big day!”

    “Kate is amazing! Just AMAZING! As someone who does not like to wear makeup (I only do lipstick!), I was really nervous about getting my makeup done by someone for my wedding. The search for a good HMUA led me to Kate. She understood my needs perfectly and doing a trial before was really helpful. She listened carefully, went with my vision, made me feel super comfortable and I felt like a princess on my wedding day! Thank you Kate! Your bubbly nature is something I enjoyed. And your calm and caring personality made me feel at ease. THANK YOU!”

    “Kate did the make up and hair for my wedding and did an incredible job. Not only was she kind and supportive of me all day, but the makeup she did was flawless, and lasted well into the evening. I couldn't recommend her enough, she is truly a professional and the best kind of artist to have on your big day.”

    “Kate came highly recommended to me by my wedding planner and I cannot imagine booking with anyone else. Kate is warm, genuine and professional. She makes you feel instantly comfortable and truly wants to get to know you. She is so kindhearted and made me, my mom and sister feel and look beautiful. Kate checks in throughout the session and makes sure you are comfortable and confident throughout the process. She has cruelty-free and vegan product options which I really appreciated. I wouldn't consider booking anyone other than Kate for any future makeup and hair needs—she is absolutely wonderful!”

  • “I had Kate come in an help me with my overall styling for my new headshots after meeting her at a seminar on skincare. She is definitely an expert, but imparts her knowledge in such a friendly and approachable way that you don't feel intimidated. Since I've worked with Kate I am no longer doing my makeup the same as I did 10 years ago!! As you mature, so does your skin and you have to start dealing with new joys like hooded eyes for example, Kate really went into detail of all of the best ways to enhance what I've got with make up and created a flawless finished look for my photos. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”

    “Kate is kind, considerate, and an awesome teacher! She did my makeup for my photoshoot and she was so attentive. I felt beautiful both inside and out. She brings out the inner you! ✨”

    “I cannot say enough good things about Kate. She's an artist through and through! She recently did my makeup for a photoshoot. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup day-to-day, it was important to me to have a natural look for the photos. Kate nailed it! If you're looking for a makeup artist who can do everything from the natural look to full glam, she's your girl.”
