Kate was amazing! She did hair and make up for myself and my bridesmaids. She made us all feel so gorgeous on my wedding day. She is so great at what she does and is so fun to be around. Highly recommend.

Kate is an amazing and talented makeup artist, I have had her do my makeup on several occasions now and each time I have had lots of complements. Kate is very easy going and always makes me feel relaxed and pampered she wont do anything I dont like and always has good suggestions. I won't use anyone else.

Kate was magic! From when I first booked her, during the lead up and the wedding day she was so calm and easy to talk to about everything. She was honest and open to all of our ideas and had a blast with how much glitter I wanted her to use haha! The morning of the wedding she fit in perfectly as one of the girls and took care of distracting any nerves, checking up on everyone, working gorgeously with our hairdresser and of course treating Mum, my two bridesmaids and myself to a first class experience.
Kate really knows her craft and with so much experience in the industry it was so easy to ask
