I work across both traditional and non-traditional wedding industries, meaning I can cater to you and anyone else in your wedding party, regardless of style.

I've been freelancing since 2015 and have had some incredible opportunities – some of my favourites have been working backstage at Los Angeles & New York Fashion Weeks, Eurovision 2023 and working with Chris from Motionless in White.
So if you're wanting a makeup artist with an extremely wide range of skills and experience, look no further!

"Kate is amazing! I booked Kate as my MUA for my wedding, because of her brilliant and diverse make up skills. I was so close to doing my own makeup before I came across Kate, because as a pale person, I was so scared of anyone making me yellow/orange and thank god I found her. I explained to Kate what I wanted on the day and omg she nailed it! My makeup looked amazing, it was so pretty and lasted all day and night! I got soooo many compliments and it was such a hot day too, so I was amazed it lasted so perfectly! Kate also did my MOH's makeup who wanted something totally different to me (a natural glam look), and that was gorgeous too. Kate was also an absolute pleasure to be around, so sweet and lovely! Communication was great from first enquiry, through to even after the wedding day! Would highly recommend her for any makeup style as she can do everything! Thank you so much again!"

"I can’t say enough good things about Kate. From the beginning to the end she was nothing but amazing. She really helped my vision come to life not only for myself but for my 4 bridesmaids and my mum (all of whom looked stunning). She arrived on time to the venue despite it being hard to find, dark, raining and 6am!! She did everything with a smile on her face and really made my morning so special, and most importantly we chatted away so much she managed to keep my pre-wedding nerves to a minimum. I honestly can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Kate!"

"Kate is THE alternative bridal MUA!! I found her via Instagram and fell in love with her amazing Halloween skills and bold eye makeup and knew she was the MUA for my big day. From day one she was an absolute breeze with communication, easy to book and always replied to my messages. She was on time, brought her own chair and lighting so it felt like I was part of a true professional back stage setup! All my bridesmaids and my mum looked so beautiful and Kate created the exact look they had all asked for - I was so pleased and she definitely has a wide range of skills to suit everyone's taste. Kate's kit is definitely filled with everything you'll ever need and her work doesn't budge when it comes to windy weather or tears of joy. Thank you so much for being so perfect!"

FAQ's
How does pricing work for wedding enquiries?
Bridal/nearly wed prices start from £400, which includes the price of a trial. Wedding party/others start from £90 per person. Due to high demand, weddings that fall on a Saturday and specific peak dates throughout the year have a minimum booking of 3 people OR the cost equivalent. I can comfortably cater up to 5/6 people depending on timings. For larger parties or a ceremony prior to 12pm an additional artists or assistant might be needed.
How far do you travel?
I am based in the West Midlands but I’m happy to travel wherever! Travel costs are calculated at 65p per mile (round trip) from WV12 postcode plus £15 per hour driving time. For locations that are 2+ hours away, or a start time of 7am (or earlier) a hotel stay or accommodation will need to be provided the night before.
I am vegan and/or have allergies/sensitivities to certain brands or products, will this be a problem?
Of course not! I carry a variety of different brands in my kit, including vegan/cruelty free products. If there are any brands/products that you know you don’t get along with, just give me a heads up beforehand. I’ll also need to be made aware of any serious allergies upon booking.
