Stunning!
I hired Kathryn to do my makeup for my wedding day after numerous recommendations, and I am so glad I did! My makeup and the rest of the bridal parties makeup looked stunning! Kathryn is professional and friendly, and made me feel totally at ease on my big day! I completely trusted Kathryns judgement as I had never had my makeup done before, and after my trial I knew I was in safe hands. Thank you so much Kathryn! xx

Great Teacher
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the private lesson you gave my wife for her birthday last month. She really enjoyed it and found it really useful. She has since been out buying some of the recommended products and brushes. But it is the increased confidence she has when she's doing her make up and hair that I like best and it really helped her with our recent holiday to Barbados.
