Had the best experience with Catherine. She nailed my wedding look and got it perfect. She was so professional and communicative and took my feedback from the trial with grace and then delivered exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Catherine was so sweet and just so much fun to work with. We did a more glam look for my trial and then day of I decided I wanted to go soft and it looked AMAZING! Both looks were fantastic. I can’t tell you how many people said they loved my makeup, I felt so beautiful. Catherine is honestly wonderful and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Enjoyed taking an updo hair class with Catherine! Super educational and so much fun! It’s always fun when you’re surrounded by other artists, and being able to help and bounce ideas off one another.
