Katie Nova is an extremely talented, trustworthy, and reliable make-up artist. Her work is second to none, and if you want to look like the most breathtaking, gorgeous version of yourself, you should hire her for your wedding day! She cuts no corners and ensures an absolutely flawless look from skin to eyes to lips and everything in between. She'll be honest and flexible with you, because she genuinely wants you to look and feel your best on your wedding day. The icing on the cake is that Katie could not be sweeter and has an extremely calming presence, so she's a perfect match for nervous or cautious brides! I've never worked with a more amazing make-up artist...I'm so happy I hired Katie, she is worth every penny!!

Katie is nothing short of outstanding! She is not only very professional, she is also undeniably kind and sensitive to your needs. My 94 year old grandmother had her doing and redoing so many details and Katie did not even bat an eyelash at her.

Katie is amazing! We met a few days before my wedding. Katie was wonderful and came to my office for a make-up trial. I had tremendous confidence in her from our initial phone call. The day of our wedding Katie rang my bell at 6AM and had me laughing . She put her fabulous music on and began making GLAMMING up me and my 3 daughters. My makeup was so incredible - - the airbrush and colors Katie used were so perfect! My make-=up was still 100% on at midnight. Lipstick is the only thing I reapplied the entire day and evening. We did our photos in Central Park and then walked down 5th Avenue and back to our wedding site. My makeup was amazing and I wish I could have Katie come to my home every morning. My 3 daughters looked equally gorgeous. Each one was done according to age and coloring. All 4-of us looked and felt beautiful. I wish I could give Katie a 15 out of 5 rating. Thank you Katie. We LOVE you!

Katie is an amazing makeup artist and you don't need to look anywhere else as you will not find anyone better. My mom found Katie online for my sister's wedding in 2012. Ever since we have used Katie to do our make up at her wedding as well as my wedding in 2013 and for any other special events. Katie is professional, friendly and will not disappoint you. She takes her time and really understands how to make you look amazing.

I got married on July 4, 2013 and Katie was my makeup artist for myself and my bridal party. She was exceptional, professional and very very talented. She has a sweet calm demeanor that kept me calm and confident throughout my whole day! Katie will be my forever makeup artist! The best decision of my wedding planning was hiring Katie!!!

After searching for a makeup artist online I came across celebrity makeup artist Katie Nova who is high class professional, and the best makeup artist I have had the pleasure to work with! She did my and my bridal party's makeup on my wedding day. I looked and felt absolutely gorgeous, and not only that I also did not have to touch up my makeup the entire day. She did airbrush makeup and my skin looked radiant and flawless.
I would recommend Katie to anyone who needs a professional makeup artist!
