LUXURIOUS. TIMELESS. ELEGANT.
FOR THE
GIRLIES
Katie specializes in soft & full glam bridal makeup, designed for the bride who LOVES makeup and wants to look like a celebrity on her wedding day. If you're dreaming of that Hollywood, red-carpet glamour with bold features, sculpted contour, and a flawless finish, Katie’s the MUA for you!
Katie’s artistry focuses on enhancing your natural beauty to give you a flawless, “natural” look that feels like you—but better. While the makeup appears effortlessly “natural” in photographs—like your skin, but smoother, more luminous, and glowing—it actually requires layers of product, expert technique, and years of experience to achieve that filter-like finish.
Wedding makeup is different from everyday makeup: to create a flawless, red carpet-worthy look that holds up under different forms of lighting, weather conditions, and lasts all day, you'll need more makeup than you might wear on a typical day. The result is a stunning, radiant glow that looks flawless both in person and in photos—smooth, luminous, and effortlessly flawless in every shot.
If your makeup inspo is more Sofia Richie or Hailey Bieber — natural, understated, minimal — Katie might not be the best fit. Her style leans more toward the Kim Kardashian aesthetic: polished, high-impact, and utterly glamorous, with the kind of look that turns heads and makes you feel like the star you are.
For brides who want to shine like a celebrity and love a bold, show-stopping look, Katie's your girl! You’ll look like the best version of yourself, with every detail perfectly enhanced for that unforgettable, luminous radiance.
