Jillian 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!!! -

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!🤍 -

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! -

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 💕 -

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! -

Oh my goodness what can I say about Kat? Let me start my saying I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day!!! My eyes never looked so beautiful and big and my skin looked like my skin and not cakey in the slightest! My makeup also lasted allllllll night with tears and sweat, it still looked as beautiful as it did when she first did my makeup! I kept getting so many compliments on my makeup from my guests and how it looked airbrushed and flawless! I cannot recommend Kat enough! Her and her team made all my bridesmaids, mother of the bride and groom, and grandmas look absolutely stunningly GORGEOUS!!!! -

Dawn Sent on 09/13/2024Highly Skilled, Professional, and a Joy to Work With
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kat as the makeup artist for my wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough! Not only is she an incredibly kind and sweet person, but her expertise truly shines through in her work. She made the entire process, from scheduling the trial to the big day itself, stress-free and enjoyable. Kat was super flexible when it came to fitting my trial into my busy schedule, which I really appreciated.
On the day of the wedding, she worked seamlessly alongside my hairstylist, maintaining a high level of professionalism while ensuring everything was perfect. Despite the heat of July, my makeup stayed flawless all day and night, which is a testament to her skill and choice of high-quality products.
Kat also brought such positive energy to the day, making the entire experience fun and relaxing. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist! Thank you, Kat, for making me feel beautiful and confident on my special day! -

She is so sweet, friendly, personable, professional and I truly enjoyed having her there with me the morning of the wedding! My makeup lasted ALL DAY (& it was hot outside!) My bridesmaids also loved her and were so happy with how they looked! I highly recommend using Kat!

Sarah Sent on 07/08/2024BEST wedding decision I made!!!
When I say that Kat is an angel sent from above, I mean it! I do not even have the words to describe how talented she is - Kat truly is an artist and master of her craft. I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how she did my makeup and my mom’s makeup for both of our trial and on the actual wedding day - I’ve told her so many times that she is literally a magician! Countless people asked us where we got our makeup done because they couldn't believe how great it looked. Everything about the makeup was flawless, lasted all day/night, and surpassed my expectations (which were already high from the beautiful work on her Instagram). I was interested in a soft glam look and my mom wanted a more natural look, and she knocked both out of the park. She listened to exactly what we wanted and brought our vision to life, but even better! I very rarely feel beautiful, and I couldn’t have felt more stunning on the most special day of my life, all thanks to her. Outside of how incredibly talented she is, she is also a joy to be around. She can light up a room with her charismatic, fun, sweet, personality and instantly makes you feel comfortable - it’s like you’re getting ready with your best girl friend. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive, professional, punctual, detail-oriented, and easy to get in touch with, too. There was not a moment I felt stressed when it came to my makeup because I knew I was in the best hands possible!! Booking Kat was the best decision I made and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!! if you want to feel gorgeous, confident, and at ease when it comes to your wedding makeup, it’s a no brainer to go with Kat -

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!! -

Lyndsay Sent on 03/17/2024AMAZING talented and professional
Kat is AMAZING! I literally could not imagine anyone else doing my makeup for my special day. She is a true professional and one of the best vendors I worked with for my wedding. She responds to my emails and questions quickly and is very organized. She takes her time and ensures you love your makeup look. She made my vision come to life and i appreciate her really taking the time to make my makeup look awesome and full out for my trial when i told her i was having my first fitting that day. I will never use anyone else for my makeup she is truly amazing. Even when it was the day of the wedding we just talked like we were friends and she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. She is so thorough and talented but it goes beyond that. You get so stressed planning and leading up to your wedding that it’s important to find a talented vendor but also a professional and reliable vendor and that is exactly Kat. I felt no stress and had zero worries about my makeup and it was so nice having one less thing to worry about. -

I can't say enough good things about Kat! From the trial to the day of - she nailed it every time. Kat has a gift and she was a joy to work with. She was always responsive, on time and patient. The day of my wedding she and her assistant were prompt, organized and made everyone feel glamorous. To this day my bridesmaids still talk about their makeup. I am so thankful to have had her on my team! -

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.

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 ❤️ -

Marlena Sent on 02/07/2024My favorite makeup artist ❤️
What can I say other than Kasia is one of the most talented make-up artists in the area! Not to mention that she is also the sweetest person you'll meet. She did my make-up for a couple of weddings that I attended but she did an outstanding job with my wedding make-up. She listened and did exactly what I asked for. I have blemishes on my face as well as acne scars and she covered everything seamlessly. Love her!!! -

Christiana Sent on 02/02/2024Amazing work!
Kat worked her magic on our wedding day, and she truly did an incredible job. I looked like an Armenian princess! The moment my husband laid eyes on me, he was left speechless, which was exactly what I had hoped for. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my makeup, and it lasted flawlessly throughout the entire night. The fact that my makeup remained intact without smudging or fading was nothing short of amazing. It allowed me to fully enjoy the festivities without any worries. If you're in search of a talented makeup artist in the tri-state area, I highly recommend Katiness. Her skills are exceptional, and she knows how to create a look that makes you feel like royalty. I am immensely grateful to Kat for her artistry and professionalism. She played a significant role in making my wedding day truly special, and I have no doubt she will do the same for anyone who chooses her services. -

Kat was an absolute dream to work with! I felt flawless on my day and was super happy with how my makeup came out. I ended up changing a few things from my trial and Kat gave me exactly what I was looking for. I'm a full glam girl and was super happy with the glowy, glitter look we went with! I would 10/10 recommend working with Kat on your big day! -

Kat is nothing short of amazing as a person and as an artist! My trial and wedding day makeup were both perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Her team does incredible work as well, all of my girls were thrilled with their looks, and my makeup lasted all throughout the night! She is super super talented and a true delight to work with. I have had many friends work with her as well and we all have nothing but amazing things to say. I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day thanks to Kat. -

Alyssa Sent on 01/29/2024Kat SLAYS every single time
Two words: hire her!!! Kat is one of the most talented MUA’s that I know. She understood my vision from our very first conversation and made suggestions to elevate the look. She can work with ANY face and will make you look the best you ever have. I don’t usually write reviews but vouching for Kat’s artistry is truly worth my time. She is unbelievable at what she does and an absolute dream to work with. She made me feel like a super model from the moment I sat in her chair until the very last brush stroke. I’d love to keep her all for myself but she’s too good to gate-keep. If you’re looking for a MUA that will execute exactly what you want, and then make it even better, then Kat is your girl. -

Susan Sent on 01/28/2024Absolutely Amazing!!
When I first saw Kat’s work I knew she was the makeup artist I wanted to use on my wedding day. I was not disappointed as not only is her technique unlike what I have ever seen as I have used multiple makeup artists in the past but she’s also a delight to work with and made the process so seamless from the scheduling to trial to wedding day. The best way to describe Kat’s work is absolutely beautifully transformational while leaving your natural essence. From the makeup trial to my wedding day, she did a phenomenal job and made me feel so beautiful. My makeup was not only flawless but it lasted all night long. She made my vision come to life and I couldn’t be happier with how I looked. If I could rate her higher than five stars, I would. If you’re looking for a makeup artist for your special day or any occasion I highly recommend Kat! -

I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day thanks to Kat! I scheduled a trial prior to the wedding and ended up loving it so much that I booked her for my rehearsal dinner makeup, too. My mom and bridesmaids were all so happy with their makeup as well and everyone’s stayed on perfectly all night! Kat was so nice to work with - professional, accommodating, so sweet, and a perfectionist in the best way. I highly recommend her!! -

Kat was my makeup artist for my wedding last April 2023. She was an absolute dream to work with! Very accommodating, kind, talented, and professional. She listens to exactly what you want and makes your vision come to life. She comes right on time and has your makeup done in a prompt fashion. My makeup stayed on all day for 16+ hours. I got so many compliments. She was kind enough to reach out to me after the wedding to ask about how the makeup was. Will continue to book her for all my events! -
