Catherine did a great job! She did makeup for myself, my mother, and one of my bridesmaids on my wedding day. I had a trial a few weeks before where Catherine offered many great suggestions about cosmetics and skin care. My mom and friend did not have trial runs, but obviously did not need them, as they looked amazing. They both decided the day of to get their makeup done and since Catherine arrived early, she had no problem getting them done in time for pictures. It's been 2 weeks since my wedding and my mom is still talking about how good her makeup was! I can't wait to get the pictures back from the photographers because our makeup stayed put all night, through tears, sweat, and lots of dancing. Thank you Catherine for helping us look great!!

This is a no-brainer! I think Catherine is incredible; at what she does (make-up artistry) and who she is as a woman and professional. She made everything easier, right down to my big day. I would have felt totally lost without her wisdom and guidance. She didn't just paint my face, and make me beautiful, she also offered her knowledge in situations that erupted in chaos. She even went as far as choosing a hair stylist for my Bridal Photos, Engagement Photos, and Wedding Photos. Catherine did not choose someone subpar, but rather someone she knew, trusted and had previously worked with. When my hair stylist got sick the day before my wedding, she was able to efficiently, effectively and with astonishing quickness, produce another hair stylist to fill in who was just as capable as the first she had chosen. She was fun, energetic and witty. I absolutely adore her accent and attitude. Catherine even drove to my house for every occasion; all the photo sessions and on my wedding day. She was very candid about her make-up techniques, and what may cause an allergic reaction. I was able to test her products before being in front of the camera. She was a breeze to work, because she made every event effortless for me. I'm so grateful I was able to reach out to her after finding her online. She was a God-send. I really miss her! Catherine was worth every penny, and then some.

I highly recommend Catherine for makeup services. She did my makeup for my wedding and I never felt so beautiful. She was well prepared and touched base with me before the big day so she could get an idea of what I wanted. I had never had my makeup done before, but she helped me with recommendations and she made the process very enjoyable. I have already referred her to a friend who will be using her in her wedding!

Catherine was so responsive and her work is amazing! I had the opportunity to have her do my makeup for a friend's wedding in September 2016, and knew I just needed to have her do my makeup again for my own wedding in April 2016. She did an amazing job, and her assistant/partner did a great job with some of my maids as well. They were there on time and ready to go. They were so nice, and I hope to have an opportunity to have Catherine do my makeup again. I definitely recommend her for your own wedding. She is also so reasonably priced!

I highly recommend Catherine. Catherine is professional , fun to work with and one of the best makeup artists I have worked with. I hired Catherine to work on my own wedding for me and the girls in my wedding party . Since then I also hired Catherine to work on several magazine shoots with me. Both of my sisters hired Catherine to work on their wedding as well. Catherine is simple the best!!

I loved working with Catherine! She was very responsive and willing to accommodate any need. She and her helper were great with listening and getting me and the girls what we wanted. I love her fresh and natural techniques.
