Jillian V. Sent on 01/23/2024My 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!!! -

Kat is amazing!
I am so happy I booked Kat for my wedding! She was amazing and made myself, mom, and bridesmaids feel and look beautiful! We got so many compliments on our makeup and it lasted throughout the night. She is a great listener and she is very accommodating. Definitely book Kat as your makeup artist for your wedding, she is the best!!!! -

RUNNN to LooksbyKatiness
KAT!! Where do I even start! When I was first looking for a makeup artist for the wedding I searched through what felt like hundreds of profiles. A friend of mine actually sent me Kat’s profile and I INSTANTLY fell in love! Her makeup looked beautiful on everyone in every occasion. I was so excited to finally have my trial and was blown away from that day. Then I booked my rehearsal dinner, and of course the wedding! Each time I went, I know I would look flawless. Wedding makeup on all my girls looked amazing and stayed the whole night along with mine. I actually had to work alittle to get it off! If you’re looking for someone for makeup your in good hands with Kat. She’s amazing, so funny, and such a pleasure to work with. Can’t wait for my next event needing makeup!! -

Working with Kat was an absolute dream for my wedding. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and calming presence made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I had gotten a makeup trial done and slept with it for my bridal shower the next day - my makeup did not budge! Despite the many tears shed on my actual wedding day, my makeup remained absolutely perfect by the end of the night. The compliments from family, friends, and those who saw pictures were endless! I couldn't have asked for a better artist to have on my special day. I can’t thank Kat enough!! -

Best makeup vendor
K at was simply amazing. She not only made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself but my bridesmaids, mother and even grandmother felt young and beautiful. She is so passionate about her work and she makes sure your makeup is picture perfect. Not only is she an amazing artist but she is genuine, professional and so easy to get along with. I felt like we’ve been friends forever. She was genuinely interested in my life and career and it made me feel so comfortable. She is so easy to communicate with during the wedding process. She is flexible if plans change- I originally had 16 girls which changed to 18 girls the week of and Kat and her team not only did an amazing job, they finished in a timely manor. So many people have reached out to me after the wedding asking about my makeup and I would recommend her 1000x over again. She truly exceeded my makeup expectations! -

Truly the best 🤭
I do not know where to begin! Kat was the first vendor I hired in 2022 for my 2024 wedding. She did my trial on the day of my shower, which worked out perfectly. I went with a softer look & received so many compliments. I went full glam on my wedding day & I am so glad I did. My make up lasted all night into the morning. My pictures and video came out amazing. I can rant and rave about Kat’s talent as a make up artist, but as a person she is truly amazing and so down to earth. Talking to her on my wedding morning was a huge stress reliever. I couldn’t ask for a better glam team 🤍 THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES 🤍🤍🤍 -

Amazing vendor!
Looksbykatiness was amazing to work with! Before the wedding she was very responsive to emails and so helpful with any questions. I would suggest doing a trial ahead of time it made me feel more comfortable as someone who doesn't always wear make up it put my mind at ease. On my wedding day I couldn't have asked for anything more. I felts beautiful and so confident. The whole team was so nice and a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend working with her! -

The sweetest vendor!
Kat was THE FIRST vendor I booked when we signed our venue contract. Actually, I made sure she was available before we finalized! She made me feel like the best version of myself and my makeup did not budge all night! She was attentive and professionally and her kindness made me calm on my wedding day. I would absolutely recommend her to every single bride🤍 -

Drop dead gorgeous!
First of all, I have never trusted anyone to do my make up for ANY event. I have my make up artistry certification myself and use to work for the knot and wedding wire doing bridal make up. Needless to say I am very particular and Kat exceeded my expectations in every way possible. She did my make up for my friend’s wedding as I was a bridesmaid. Her make up application was flawless and I received so many compliments and was obsessed with my look!! To top it off her personality and energy match her make up artistry skills. She’s down to earth and truly one of a kind. She’s accommodating and will ensure you’re happy with your end result. I will be using her for all future events. She blew me away. I highly recommend her! Don’t walk RUN! She books fast!!looksbykatiness's reply:
Thank you so much Nour! That means SO much to me especially coming from a former MUA. I hope to get a chance to see you soon! -

Katiness did my makeup twice one for a wedding I was in and for my own wedding day. I can’t say it enough but Katiness is extremely talented at what she does and is simply the BEST out there! I highly recommend getting a makeup trial with her too! Her work doesn’t disappoint. Her makeup lasts all day and looks amazing in photos. She is a very sweet and kind person to work with! -

Rebecca Sent on 02/13/2024Amazing!
Literally could not have asked for a more amazing makeup artist for my wedding! From the moment I met Kat for my wedding makeup trial/ mother of the bride makeup trial, Kat was instantly welcoming! She makes you feel super comfortable and literally does the exact same as any picture you show her and completely exceeded my expectations. Kat is very professional and knows exactly what she’s doing. She made my glam dreams come true. So many compliments and people asking who did my makeup on my wedding day! I found Kat on instagram and it was the best decision to book my trial/wedding makeup with her. HIGHLY recommend her if you’re in the NJ/NY area! She’s amazing and you will not be let down! Thank you again Kat, I can’t wait to book you for future events ❤️ -

Wedding make up
Kat did my make up for my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier! I had 8 bridesmaids plus my mom, mother-in-law and 2 grandmas getting their make up done and not only did Kat and her team do an amazing job on every one but the timing was perfect and exactly as planned! I don’t usually wear much make up but she worked with exactly what I was asking for and I felt so beautiful. Everyone in my wedding party and family looked stunning and were so happy with their results as well. Kat was so fun to work with and it was so nice to work with such a fun and nice person during the getting ready process for such a fun and exciting day. I got teaser photos back from the photographer and love the way I look because of the help I got from Kat. I absolutely recommend her for your big day! -

Best Makeup Artist!
I knew I wanted to work with Kat as soon as I saw her instagram page. I literally gave her 3 wedding date options before I even went back to my book my date. She is so talented and made me look and feel like a queen all day. My mom and bridesmaids could not have been happier with kat and her team. My makeup lasted all night (and trust me I sweat a lot) I would definitely recommend her to anyone and cannot wait to work with her again for a special occasion. -

Maureen C. Sent on 01/26/2024Best Makeup artist in NJ/NYC!!
Kat is an actual God Send / Miracle worker ..... I cannot say enough good things!!! From the first conversation, to trial, pre-prep, day of and even after...she is 100% professional and a master of her craft. Makeup is something I really cared a lot about and Kat exceeded expectations. Some things I loved about working with her.... (Aside from the work itself ;-)) - I LOVED how she was with feedback/minor tweaks to make the day-of look turn out as perfect as possible. ++She is TIMELY and did not fret about our 5:45am start (sorry, Kat!!). ++She was just such a joy to have there that day - I had some especially stressful circumstances going on around the time of the wedding, and Kat showed up, perky as ever and was the ULTIMATE hype girl....she doubled as a therapist and makeup artist that morning lol ++Maybe most importantly to me, she made all the girls, especially my mom, feel like a million bucks that day. My mom is mid 60s and told me it was the prettiest she's ever felt (will forever be grateful for that -

Kat is amazing! She is the best out there, and so sweet and professional. She was the first vendor I booked. If there was anything I was sure about for my wedding, it was that it had to be her doing my makeup. Kat took my inspo and all my insecurities and made me feel more beautiful and confident than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. I cannot recommend her enough – my makeup lasted for over 12 hours, and whether you’re looking for a soft look or full glam, she can really do it all. I can’t wait for future events where I’ll need my makeup done again! Obviously I will be booking Kat.

Kat is an absolute dream to work with! As someone who wears makeup everyday, having the best makeup artist was a top priority for my wedding & Kat made sure I looked perfect ALL DAY for my wedding. My makeup didn’t budge whatsoever even in torrential downpour throughout the day. It was raining all day and my husband and I took photos and read our vows outside…. Not even a smear, nothing needed to be fixed or touched up! I would recommend her a million times over, she is the absolute best! Since it rained on our day, I actually hired her again to re-create the look to go back and re-do photos an month later and without even a reference, she created the EXACT look again! It was perfect! I can’t say enough about how incredible she was doing makeup for myself, 3 moms, and 4 bridesmaids. Everyone looked amazing from start to finish and raved about Kat! -

Denisse Sent on 01/23/2024Never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day
Kat is simply an amazingly talented makeup artist. I used her for my 30th birthday look, and for my wedding in October 2023. Her calm demeanor and sweet personality is exactly what I needed on my wedding day. I was so nervous for the day in general that getting my makeup done with Kat was the most relaxing part of my morning. My makeup stayed on all throughout the night and I wish I can go back and relive that day and feel the way I felt looking at myself in the mirror. Kat is punctual, efficient, and a true listener. She will do exactly what you want. Thank you for making me feel like a bride, but most importantly, making me feel like a *beautiful* bride. Every bride deserves to feel beautiful on their wedding day, and Kat will do exactly that for you. -
