My favorite vendor!

Where to even begin? Kat is simply the best. I got married in 2021 and Kat was my first vendor booked in 2019. Without any research, I knew since the day I got engaged I NEEDED Kat to be my makeup artist, no question about it! From the very first email interaction, to the scheduling, the trial and the wedding day, Kat was nothing short of amazing. She is kind, personal, and most importantly, so unbelievably talented. She listens to what you want and executes perfectly. Not only did Kat do my makeup for my wedding, she did two of my best friend’s weddings. I was lucky enough to have my makeup done more than once by Kat! It’s truly a pleasure to know her.

For any gals nervous about getting their makeup done for their big day (or any occasion!), Kat will put the nerves at ease. I for one, am not a daily “makeup girlie”, I rarely ever wear makeup. So to say I was nervous for my wedding makeup would be an understatement. Kat made me look flawless. My makeup lasted over 12 hours, not a crease in sight. I just simply cannot rave enough about Kat.

Kat, thank you for being AMAZING. An amazing makeup artist, person, friend. All of the above! Can’t wait to see you at the next wedding!!!

The best for makeup!

Kat was THE BEST! i did a trial and my makeup came out better than I could’ve dreamed. The day of the wedding she was super accommodating. My mom has bad allergies to makeup and she listened to her needs and used products that did not irritate my mom at all. Kat is truly an artist! I slept with my makeup on the night of the wedding and the next day when I woke up my makeup didn’t move at all. I would highly recommend her if you want a stress free wedding day and want to look your best!

The best!

If you are looking for a makeup team that will make you look and feel like the absolute best version of yourself, LooksByKatiness is it! Kat and Stephanie were an absolute dream to work with on my wedding day.

Kat was warm, professional, and incredibly talented. She took the time to listen to what I wanted, offered expert suggestions, and created a look that was both timeless and totally me. On the day of the wedding, she and Stephanie brought such a calming, positive energy, it felt like having friends around while getting ready!

They worked flawlessly as a team, staying on schedule while making each bridesmaid, my mom and stepmom, and I feel confident and beautiful. The makeup held up perfectly all day and night, with no touch-ups needed, even after hours of dancing, happy tears, and a long day of celebration.

Kat is not only insanely skilled at what she does, but she’s also just a joy to be around. I’m so grateful to her and Stephanie for making me feel so beautiful on such a special day. I cannot recommend Kat enough, they are the full package!

Glam queen✨

I am so grateful I chose Kat to do my wedding makeup! On the day of my wedding, my makeup was absolutely flawless. It was the perfect glam, and lasted all day and night, even through emotional moments and a long reception. I felt confident, beautiful, and like the best version of myself.
Not only did she help me achieve the perfect look, but she also worked seamlessly with my bridal party, ensuring everyone felt beautiful and comfortable. The entire experience was amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for a talented and thoughtful makeup artist for your big day, Kat is the one!🤍

Best wedding MUA in the tristate

Kat did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding makeup and my girls’ as well! I was definitely photo ready all day long thanks to her. She’s very easy to work with and her professionalism combined with her talent is so commendable. I don’t think anyone will ever regret booking her for their big day!

500 stars!!!! ⭐️🩷 She’s the BEST!!!

Kat is the absolute BEST of the best!!!! 💕

I discovered her on Instagram over 2 years before my wedding and fell in love with her work! I booked her without a trial and it was the best decision!!

The entire planning process, she was so sweet and helpful in all communication, and was the most responsive of our vendors. She took the best care of me and all my girls!! We all felt the most beautiful we had ever felt! My makeup lasted all day and night :) I refused to take it off and slept in it so I could enjoy the glam in the morning lol!

Kat used the most gorgeous makeup products that she imports from Poland, and I was so happy to be able to buy a few of my favorite products of hers so that I could always remember my wedding day with her. They were also perfect for touch ups!!

Kat was a dream to hang out with on my wedding day, she felt like one of my besties!! I just love and adore her so much, and would highly recommend her to any bride! 🩷

After my husband and I had a conflict with the photography timeline and lost out on majority of photos/memories, we reached out to Kat to see if it would be possible for her to do my makeup again in two short months for a wedding reshoot. Kat was SO incredible and somehow squeezed me in last minute. She absolutely nailed it and totally recreated my wedding day look so that the reshoot glam looked exactly like my wedding day! I couldn’t have been happier and more grateful for her.

Kat is beyond talented. It was such an honor having Kat do my makeup twice, and I cannot wait to have her do my makeup for future events. She will 1000% without a doubt make any and all brides wedding day the most special ever 💕

Book Kat NOW!!!!!

Five Stars Isn't Enough!

Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but booking Kat was a breeze! Kat is truly AMAZING!!! Every interaction was professional, respectful, and seamless. She's a master makeup artist!

Kat worked magic on my MOH, daughter, MOB, MIL, and me. We felt stunning, glamorous and just beautiful! She used high-quality products that lasted all day, even through rain on my wedding day!

I highly recommend booking Kat ASAP! She's priceless!

Check out my TikTok (ladye_____) for better quality pics, but trust me, Kat's work speaks for itself. I wish I could have her in pocket and do my makeup all the time.

Do yourself a favor, book immediately and do not wait.

Makeup Review for the Best MUA!

I would recommend Kat over and over! She is so fun and sweet, and she is beyond talented. I showed her the look I wanted, and she absolutely nailed it. She made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life. My makeup stayed all day and all night. I also did a makeup trial with her the night before my bridal shower and it lasted all night and the entire next day for my shower. I can’t wait to use her again for events in the future!
