The perfect natural bridal makeup
I found Cat as she had done some incredible natural bridal makeup. Day to day, I do not wear makeup, so was conscious I wanted my bridal look to be glowing and natural – but very much still me.
I had a trial with Cat, before the wedding. Cat put me totally at ease – she adapted to the things I liked and worked with me to understand what I wanted from “natural, soft, glowing” makeup. Cat made me feel so comfortable, and at the trial we had nailed the look I wanted for the big day.
On the day, Cat was great – managing to do the make up for myself and my sister (whilst patiently working around my 4 children!). She really listened to what I wanted, and made me look the best version of me. My makeup lasted all day – even in 31 degree heat! It made me feel beautiful and looks fab in the photos that we have back so far!
You are amazing at what you do Cat – Thank you!

Amazing Wedding make up
I cannot thank Cat enough for my wedding make up. The whole process was easy and professional, right from initial enquiries through to the day. Cat was easy to talk to, flexible and knowledgeable. I do not wear too much make up normally so wanted something natural that would last all day. I got exactly that! She highlighted my eyes beautifully and the make up lasted well beyond a night of dancing.
My 3 bridesmaids were also pleased with their make up and all had different requirements which was no trouble at all for Cat on the day.
We loved having her be part of our girlie morning and again she was professional but friendly and joined in making my morning super special.
Cat also took some beautiful pictures of me and my bridesmaids which are some of my favourites.
Do not hesitate to book Cat if you want a professional, knowledgeable and friendly make up artist

Cat is a true master of the natural bridal look
Cat, thank you so so much for doing such a beautiful job of our bridal party make up for our wedding last weekend. As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of make up at all, I was a bit nervous but from our first contact to the trial, Cat really put me at ease and listened to my concerns about my skin and making the eye make up with my glasses. She is an absolute expert at the ‘natural look’ and making everyone’s individual features stand out, but making sure you still look like you, only better. I felt incredible on my wedding day and so confident and was so pleased how well it turned out and how long the make up lasted, even on the hot and sweaty dance floor! Cat was a really calming presence on the wedding morning and made us all feel at ease, knowing we were in very safe hands. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you!

Highly recommend, stunning make up
Could not recommend Cat enough. Cat is so lovely and calm, prices are really reasonable. Cat was really responsive and helpful. We had 6 bridesmaids, myself and my Mum to get ready on the day, so was busy and exciting, but Cat was so calm and professional, made the experience really special. The make up was absolutely stunning and lasted all day and evening (we had an early 12.30 wedding) and every single person was delighted with their make up. We all received so many lovely compliments. Cannot thank Cat enough, so glad she was part of the day, would highly, highly recommends

The best makeup artist!! Would highly recommend!
Cat was amazing and so patient as I ended up changing my make up look last minute!! And on the day she was really calming and professional. My bridesmaids and mum looked absolutely beautiful, and my make up stayed on all day and evening - even in the photos late at night my makeup is still perfect. Catherine made me feel so beautiful and we have already re booked her for my mums birthday next year!! Would 1000% recommend Cat! X

Fantastic make up artist who will slot right into your day!
I'm so pleased I booked Cat to do my wedding make up. She is super professional whilst also being relaxed and fun. As someone who doesn't regularly wear lots of make up, I was slightly daunted by the process but Cat made it so exciting. She really felt like part of the gang and I can't recommend her enough!

More like a friend than a MUA!
From the moment I met Cat at my trial I knew I had picked the right person to do my make up. I wanted a natural look but enough to look good in photos. She did exactly what I asked and it looked amazing and stayed on for the 13 hours I had it on! My bridesmaids also had natural looks and both were so happy and looked beautiful. She was so friendly and made me feel so calm on the day and she felt like one of my friends. I can't recommend her highly enough. I don't have my professional photos back yet but even in friends photos it looks fantastic.

Couldn't have picked a better make up artist!
Cat was amazing! From accommodating me early to do my trial, keeping in touch between booking and the big day, and then the big day itself she was great! Cat as a person was professional yet friendly and approachable, she kept her cool even when there was a bit of a rush at the end. As a makeup artist she fulfilled the brief and more! The makeup was flawless and glowy, she took into account everyones individual style requests and skin types, the makeup lasted ALL day and none of us needed any touching up, not even a powder! My bridesmaids and I were blown away with the results and I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone!
