Make-Up By Katy Full Description
I’ve been a makeup artist for over 25 years and have focused solely on bridal makeup for the past 12. Bridal makeup is my passion and everyone who sits in my chair gets the VIP treatment. My aim is to make every bride look like the absolute best version of themselves, rather than fitting them into a ‘look’ or a trend. I specialise in Flawless complexions, whether you feel your skin is perfect or not.

felt like a million dollars on my wedding day
Katy was a really important part of the morning of my wedding - her diplomatic, calm influence helped make everything run smoothly and she was a simply lovely person to have around. Our makeup was amazing - she accommodated our preferences, I felt like a million dollars on my wedding day and that’s mostly down to Katy. Thank you Katy!

Amazing makeup artist
Katy was a really important part of the morning of my wedding - her diplomatic, calm influence helped make everything run smoothly and she was a simply lovely person to have around. Our makeup was amazing - she accommodated our preferences, gently encouraged where necessary, and made us look like gorgeous versions of ourselves. I felt like a million dollars on my wedding day and that’s mostly down to Katy. I also went back to her for a makeup lesson afterwards. Thank you Katy!

Magic-maker!
Katy worked pure magic on our wedding day! She was such a calming person to have around and really helped the morning preparations go to plan, which was especially helpful as we had to change venue halfway through getting ready. Katy's make-up made me feel amazing which set the tone for an incredible day. We’re so glad we found Katy and wish her every success in the future. If you are considering Katy for your wedding day, please don't hesitate!

An amazing makeup artist
When I started planning my wedding one of the things I was worried about was my makeup. As like they say, a photo lasts forever and I didn't want to look back at mine thinking that they didn't look like me, because I was overly made up. As soon as I had my makeup trial with Katy all these worries disappeared as she made me look and feel absolutely gorgeous. She created (as she always does) a natural makeup look that looked beautiful and photographed amazingly, but still looked like me (well a more beautiful version of me!). The makeup effortlessly lasted all day, looking just as great at the end of the day as it did when I walked down the aisle. On top of making me look amazing Katy made me feel so relaxed on the morning of my wedding, which considering I'm an expert at stressing was no small feat! Her experience made getting ready so enjoyable. She worked closely with my hairdresser and photographer to ensure that everything ran to schedule making it stress free. I really cannot recommend her enough as there's no one else I would have trusted on the biggest day of my life.

Brilliantly beautiful make up
I had been quite worried about my wedding make up after a couple of dreadful make overs at beauty counters many years before and years of feeling self conscious about my skin etc. When I met Katy I knew I'd made the right decision; she listened to what I wanted, gave great advice and made me feel completely comfortable. My wedding make up looked and felt great, lasted all day and made me look like a much improved version of myself. Make up aside, Katy is brilliantly funny and was great fun to spend the morning of my wedding day with! I'm still hoping to see her again for a make up lesson one day...

Quite simply, the best make-up artist
Katy is something quite rare, an accomplished make-up artist who really listens to what you want to look like on your big day, rather than slathering on drag queen amounts of make-up so you look "good for the photos!" She is utterly professional, caring and supportive - as well as fiercely funny! I was pretty nervous about my wedding, I have quite large insecurities about how I look and the thought of 150 people staring at me was daunting to say the least. Katy made me feel like I was the centre of her world as she worked her magic on my face, her attention to detail is quite something, and I never once doubted that I was in good hands. When I first saw how she had made me look, I almost cried, she made me look like how i'd always hoped I could. Like the best version of myself. It's not just about having a bit of lipstick on, or an expertly winged eyeliner - it's so much more. She inspires confidence, makes you look and feel beautiful - and everyone needs a bit of that on their big day. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is worth every penny and more!

The only person I'd trust do to my make-up
Before I got married I had the total pleasure of working with Katy at several weddings. I worked as the wedding photographer and could see how amazing her work is. When it was my turn to get married there is no-one else I would have trusted to do my make-up. I don't wear much make-up, so it was important to me to have something that looked natural and like me...only better! Katy was a joy to have there on my wedding morning and my bridesmaids loved having her with us too. I cannot recommend her highly enough. xo

Beautiful, confident bride!
What can I say other than Katy made me feel utterly gorgeous on the most special day of my life. During my make up trial, Katy recommend some amazing skin products that would help improve the condition and appearance of my skin, and the results on the day was stunning. I feel so confident and so beautiful - and I can't thank you enough! Would without hesitation recommend Katy x

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Versatile, thorough, elegant, professional, friendly

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

Budget realistically. Do research with actual vendors before setting your budget rather than following the 'suggested spend' in bridal magazines. They are often so wildly off the mark, you will be left disappointed and short of budget where you need it most!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Typically my brides book me just after their venue and photographer and secure the date. We tend to have a practice run quite early on to really get the best idea of what we are doing. ~I'm happy to talk via skype/on the phone first if a couple want to get to know me before a trial also

What do you love most about your job?

The smiles I get when the bride sees herself in the mirror after I complete her make-up.

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

Take care of your skin. Not just in the week or two before the wedding, at the very least 6 months before.

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

I'm super organised and very calm, I don't faff and I can politely ward off people around her who are feeding her nerves.

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