Modern Muse Makeup Artistry

I used Katie for my engagement photo makeup as well as wedding day and after session photo makeup. We first met at her studio before my engagement photos, and she only needed a few minutes to determine exactly what would work best on my skin type and color. I immediately felt comfortable with her and trusted what she was doing with my face! There was only one thing I didn't like about the makeup and she fixed it to my liking without batting an eyelash, and remembered my preference for the wedding day. On the wedding day she and one of her other artists joined the girls and I while we got ready in my hotel room. They did makeup for myself and 5 other girls. Everyone loved how they looked once they were done & everyone said my makeup had never looked better. Not only did Katie do makeup that day, she helped with a few hair issues and other 'emergencies' that popped up, and when it came time for me to put on my dress they had already discreetly packed up and shown themselves out after a quick check to make sure nothing else was needed. My after session makeup was totally rockin'! I wanted more of a fun, rock look with a vivid and colorful eye and Katie sure delivered! She came to my house which was awesome - and was done super fast. She was ecstatic to be doing something so creative and 'out-of-the-box' this time around and did an amazing job. Katie truly has a passion for what she does and is a total sweetheart. She has a beautiful personality which I think helps her bring out the true beauty in her clients. I recommend Katie and her team of professionals to every bride and bridesmaid out there.

I never ever wear makeup, and half of the occasions where I have worn makeup have been disasters where I was told frequently that I really looked better without. Plus wearing makeup all day usually causes my face and lips to break out into an uncomfortable rash for a week afterwards. So I tried to play it cool when I was doing a trial run with Katie, but inwardly I was really doubting my decision to wear makeup at the wedding at all. But Katie was so great at making me comfortable, making sure I was ok with the colors and overall look. And in the end, the makeup was much more natural than I'd ever had done before. Plus I didn't break out at all! She did forget to bring her notes from the trial on the day of the wedding, but was able to reproduce the same look from memory so it wasn't a problem. She was able to come on-site, which was very important to me. She also brought an assistant on the day of, and it helped us get ready even faster than I had planned!
