Absolutely Amazing!!!
Katherine is awesome to worth with and can do anything you ask from a simple look to a more dramatic one. She did my makeup for my brothers wedding a few years ago which is where I fell in love with the air brushed look. So, I of course had to have her do my makeup for my wedding. It came out perfect! She’s not only great at what she does but she’s super kind and easy to work with. Will continue to recommend her to everyone I know. -

Emily B. Sent on 09/08/2023Katherine is next level amazing
I'm not exactly a makeup person, so when picking an artist for my wedding I was skeptical that I would end up happy with it regardless. This changed immediately after meeting Katherine, where she did a trial for my mother and I. She is so skilled!! My mom doesn't really wear makeup either, and we were both over the moon with the way she created such a beautiful natural look on both of us. The airbrushing made it look like we didnt have foundation on... just had perfect skin. All of my bridesmaids felt the same way. Additionally, she gave each bridesmaid and myself a full size of the lipstick she put on us. Have never even heard of another artist doing that. And on top of that!! She's just a f****cking awesome person - so fun, interesting and down to earth. Wish I lived in her area because I'd get facials with her monthly! THANK YOU KATHERINE!!! Fave vendor by far. -

Thank you KMac!!
When I started looking for a makeup artist for my wedding day, something that was really important was working with a small, local business. The next thing I was looking for was someone who would not only make me feel confident in my skin but help my bridesmaids also feel that way. From pre wedding facials to help my skin recover from stress breakouts, to my wedding day, Kathy made me feel beautiful in my skin. She even took the time to help figure out a skin routine to keep my skin looking flawless. My bridesmaids also loved how they looked.
Thank you Kathy and KMac Beauty for being so wonderful throughout this journey and I can't wait to schedule my next facial with you! -

Sara M. Sent on 12/05/2022She is the best!
I hired Kathy for my wedding on 11/5/22 for myself, 3 bridesmaids, my mom, and MOG. She does SUCH beautiful makeup I felt like a goddess, no lie. She takes any allergies/sensitivities into account and made me feel super comfortable (I don't normally wear makeup). She will make you feel like a million bucks and is such a nice person :)Katherine MacDonald's reply:
Sara, thank you for your kind words. It was such a delight to work with you and your bridal party. I had a great time spent with all of you that day and thoroughly enjoyed working with you leading up to your wedding day. You were smiling from ear to ear and made such a gorgeous bride! Thank you for the opportunity. -

Devon S. Sent on 12/22/2022Exceptionally Talented Makeup Artist
Kathy is exceptionally talented at what she does. She’s also an exceptionally kind person who is deeply passionate about her work and making her clients feel beautiful. I feel very lucky to have been able to work with her and she absolutely nailed the classic bridal look I was hoping for on my big day. Her X-factor is not only her extensive experience (she even custom makes some of her makeup) and natural grasp of skin tones/textures/colors but also her ability to actively listen, empathize and build positive relationships. Kathy is such a joy to work with and I really can’t recommend her enough! - DevonKatherine MacDonald's reply:
Devon, I can’t thank you enough for the kind and heartfelt review. I enjoyed working with you and your family as well. Everything about your day was beautiful, even the bride! 😊 -

Katie D. Sent on 01/23/2023Katherine has the magic touch!
Katherine was amazing and a pleasure to work with. My daughter was an absolutely gorgeous bride, her makeup flawless, thanks to Katherine. It was a large wedding party yet Katherine was patient and focused, making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, applying everyone's makeup just as they requested. And me, the Mom of the bride, and the groom's Mom, well we felt amazing! We received countless compliments on our makeup! The little kits with lipstick and blotting papers were such a nice touch too, I highly recommend Katherine and KMac Beauty. Take it from someone who does not make recommendations lightly, Katherine has the magic touch! -

I am 53 years old and I was married on September 23, 2022, in Maine. It is not easy to feel as beautiful in a wedding dress in your 50s as it is in your 20s! But Kathy made it happen. Kathy made the effort to travel to Maine for the trial so we could have it jointly with the hairdresser who is located in Maine. Kathy asked me to provide pictures in advance so she would have an idea of what I liked and was able to fully meet my expectations between the trial and the final day. She went out of her way to coordinate the schedule with the hairdresser for the morning of, for my bridesmaids and myself. Kathy is extremely professional and listens to your needs but is also friendly and fun. She fit right in with the girls that day and helped to calm my nerves! She was completely prepared with everything you could imagine and knows the latest techniques to bring out your best look. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you, Kathy! -

Emily C. Sent on 05/08/2023Incredible artist, amazing person!
Kathy is not only exceptionally talented at what she does, but she puts so much heart and care into her work and into her relationships with people. Choosing her for my skin preparation and airbrush makeup services was hands-down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! Leading up to the wedding, she gave me personalized skin care instructions, product recommendations, relaxing facials, and multiple makeup trials to help get my skin ready for the big day. Going to see her for these visits was always so much fun, and Kathy became a caring friend throughout the process. She really cares about her clients, and listens to their goals and questions to give everyone exactly what they need. On the day of the wedding, she and her amazing assistant showed up early and were so kind and professional to the wedding party, hair stylst professionals, and employees at the wedding venue. They did beautiful airbrush makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, and the mother of the groom. We all were blown away with the result - I have truly never felt more beautiful, or received more compliments, and all my wedding party looked incredible as well. My makeup look lasted all day on a hot, sunny June day - from the time Kathy finished at 10 AM to the time I went to bed at 2 AM. I wouldn't change a thing about my experience working with Kathy, and will continue visiting her for amazing skincare, facials, and company! Book with Kathy - you will be so glad you did! -

Lb Webster Sent on 06/09/2022Our makeup was PERFECT!!
I HIGHLY recommend Kathy!! She did the makeup for my sister's wedding and we loved it so much I booked her years later for my wedding!! She is super professional, was great to work with, and made all of us look amazing for my wedding day! She listened to what we all wanted done and did such a great job on all the bridesmaids and mothers! I hate wearing fake eyelashes but the ones Kathy used were so comfortable and the makeup lasted all night long! Through all the tears, eating, drinking and dancing my makeup looked just as great at midnight as it did when she put it on!Katherine MacDonald's reply:
Thank you LB for the review and the opportunity to work with you on one if the most special days of your life. I was happy to be a part of it.
It was so much fun to work with you and your family again. I enjoyed the time spent with you all. You looked absolutely stunning! -

Nancy F. Sent on 11/27/2021Fantastic Makeup - Stunning & Beautiful Work
Katherine is welcoming, friendly, and became an immediate friend! We hired Katherine for my daughter's wedding (Oct 2021) and loved our whole experience - from personally meeting, the Consult Appointment, and the Wedding Day, (Bridal Party & Groom). We loved the makeup, Katherine's expertise and gentle touch. I've never been a fan of false eyelashes, and was very delighted at how light and comfortable the lashes were that Katherine applied. Even with wearing contacts, I had no issues the entire day, into the late evening. We did not need to touch up anything, including lipstick! We all felt absolutely lovely. "Stunning" and "beautiful" were words we heard all day. There were even gasps of appreciation when we all walked to the Alter. I would HIGHLY recommend Katherine for all your makeup needs. -
