Katie made me feel and look amazing!
I can’t give enough of an amazing recommendation to do Katie justice! I had my wedding makeup done with Katie this month and I’m not someone that’s very confident with how I look with makeup on but Katie made me feel and look amazing. She’s so calming, so lovely and made me feel so comfortable and confident! Thank you again Katie I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me on my big day!xx

Biggest hype woman
Katie did the make up for my wedding for myself, my 4 bridesmaids and my mum. She was absolutely incredible, tailoring the make up to suit everyone's preferences. Everyone was so happy with their make up and it all lasted all day (and even till the next day when I didn't take it off!) Katie joined in in the morning to make it so fun and relaxed and was the biggest hype woman to make everyone feel incredible! Couldn't recommend Katie more! Thank you so much

Katie is friendly, bubbly and so knowledgable
I recently used Katie as my makeup artist for my wedding day. From my initial trial with Katie I knew I was in safe hands. Katie is friendly, bubbly and so knowledgeable of all things makeup. She made sure I was completely happy with the final look and really understands how important it is to make a bride feel her best and how to really enhance someone’s natural beauty. On my wedding day Katie was friendly and professional my mum and bridesmaids who also had their make up done by Katie were all very happy with their final look and complimentary on how lovely Katie was. If you are looking for a makeup artist I would highly recommend Katie! :)

She went above and beyond!
Katie did my wedding makeup in March, and I can’t recommend her enough. We had a trial prior to the day, she made me feel so at ease and took the time to really get to know me and what I wanted in my bridal makeup. On the day she went above and beyond, fitted right in with the bridal party, helped carry bags and walked us right up to the isle. Everyone commented on my makeup and how well it lasted. Highly recommend!!

She’s brilliant all round!
Katie is absolutely incredible! She recently did my makeup for my wedding and it was a brilliant experience. She did my trial for my hen-do and I knew right away that it was all going to go well as she is so friendly, bubbly and puts you at ease straight away. She took any suggestions I gave at the hen (not that there were many!) and applied them to my makeup for the wedding and my makeup looked absolutely stunning. She's brilliant all round and I couldn't recommend her highly enough

I would not hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone!
Katie recently did my makeup for my wedding day and she was totally fantastic. We did a trial a few weeks before the day and I was blown away by the look we came up with but then on the actual wedding morning she topped it! Myself and my bridesmaids looked fab all day and got so many compliments. I would not hesitate to reccommend Katie to anyone looking for a makeup artist for their big day!

Dream to have to do my makeup!
Katie was an absolute dream to have do my make up for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day! I had my trial with Katie when I was having the worlds worst acne breakout but she still managed to cover every blemish and make me look flawless. She got on so well with all my bridesmaids on the wedding day and it felt just like she was another friend in the room, she is so lovely, so funny and she made me feel so at ease. She certainly went above and beyond than just doing my make up. I wanted her to stay all day purely because she is such a lovely soul!! My skin had never looked so good thanks to Katie but she still managed to keep me looking like me, just a far prettier version! And was the exact same for my bridesmaids too. You will not regret booking Katie - she’s a dream come true in all forms of make up artist as well as all round human!

She listened to what everyone wanted!
Katie did my bridal makeup and 3 bridesmaids recently. Katie was a great addition to the getting ready group and contributed to the relaxed atmosphere. She listened to what everyone wanted and made sure that we were all ready on time including our touch ups. We all felt amazing once Katie was finished and got lots of lovely comments. Would highly recommend Katie!

Katie is amazing at what she does!
I booked Katie to do the makeup of my bridesmaid and mum for my wedding in July. She was recommended to my by my hair stylist and despite not meeting her until the wedding morning she was helpful and professional throughout. She came into the room with such a friendly and positive energy it felt like we had known her forever. All the girls looked gorgeous but they felt gorgeous too and the make up lasted the whole party. Katie is amazing at what she does and I would recommend her to everyone!!

She put me at ease which was important for my wedding day
I booked Katie for my bridal make up, my bridesmaids make up and mother of the bride make up for my wedding. I met Katie at the open day for my venue and she was so lovely and friendly, she immediately put me at ease which was important to me for the wedding day. I also did a make up trial in preparation for the wedding and she took the time to talk me through everything and helped me decide on the style of make up that I wanted. I am not a girly girl and so was keen to have very natural make up on the day. Katie did an incredible job and I felt beautiful and looked like the bride I had envisioned. I am not the most body confident person but I felt so pretty. The make up lasted the entire wedding and didn’t falter. I cannot recommend Katie enough. She is amazing at what she does is really approachable and is truly talented. Thank you Katie!

What is your most memorable wedding?

One of the most unforgettable days was when I worked with a bride who had been dreaming of her wedding for years. She was a bundle of nerves in the morning, but by the time we finished her makeup and she looked in the mirror, her whole demeanor changed — her eyes sparkled, and she radiated pure joy.

Seeing her mother tear up and her bridesmaids gasp with delight made me realize that makeup isn’t just about looking beautiful; it’s about creating confidence, happiness, and memories that last a lifetime. Moments like that remind me why I love being part of someone’s special day — helping them feel like the best version of themselves as they walk down the aisle.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural – enhancing features without looking overdone

Elegant – sophisticated, polished, and timeless

Refined – subtle attention to detail and flawless finishes

Radiant – creating a glowing, fresh, and healthy look

Confidence-boosting – making clients feel beautiful and self-assured

What about your business are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of creating a space where clients feel seen, confident, and celebrated. Whether it’s a bride on her wedding day, someone getting their brows perfected, or a client treating themselves to Tox or filler, my business is about enhancing natural beauty while making every client feel comfortable, special, and cared for. Knowing that I’m part of people’s most important moments — helping them look and feel their best — is what truly makes Kms Brows & Beauty meaningful.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Start with yourself first — prioritize your own happiness, comfort, and self-care. From skincare and beauty prep to scheduling time for rest and reflection, taking care of yourself will make every other wedding detail feel easier and more enjoyable. A calm, confident bride shines brighter than any decoration or dress!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

One of my favourite touches I’ve seen at a wedding is when brides incorporate meaningful family traditions — like wearing a grandmother’s veil, carrying a handwritten letter from a loved one, or including a special song during the ceremony. Those personal details make the day feel truly unique and full of love

Describe your typical process with a couple.

My process with a bride is all about creating a calm, enjoyable, and personalised experience from start to finish. It usually begins with a consultation where we discuss your vision, style, and any inspiration images. Next, we schedule a trial so you can see your look in advance and make any tweaks. Leading up to the wedding, I’ll guide you on skin prep and any additional beauty treatments to ensure you’re radiant on the day. On the wedding day itself, I create your flawless makeup and brows, keeping the process relaxed and stress-free so you can enjoy every moment

What do you love most about your job?

What I love most about my job is helping people feel confident, beautiful, and like the best version of themselves. Whether it’s a bride on her wedding day, someone getting their brows perfected, or a client treating themselves to Tox or filler, being part of those special moments and seeing their joy and confidence shine is incredibly rewarding.

What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?

Start your skincare early — healthy, glowing skin is the best canvas for flawless bridal makeup

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?

I keep a bride calm by creating a relaxed, stress-free environment from the moment I arrive. I chat, check in to see if she needs anything like food or drink while she's having her makeup done, guide her step by step through her makeup and beauty routine. My goal is to make the experience enjoyable and soothing, so she can focus on the excitement of her day while feeling completely confident and at ease

What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?

Prep their skin in advance with a consistent skincare routine.

Use long-lasting, waterproof makeup products.

Keep a small touch-up kit handy (blotting papers, lipstick, or powder).

Stay hydrated and take little breaks to breathe and relax.

Trust their makeup artist — we’ve got you covered for flawless, stress-free results from ceremony to last dance!”**
