Makeup by Katy
I've been a working as a Make-up Artist for 26 years. I specialise in Bridal makeup. I have run my Luxury Bridal business since 2009. I recently won UK/E TWIA Make-up Artist of 2019 and 2020.

Prior to this I worked in cosmetics predominantly in an artist/trainer role. I worked under Laura herself in Laura Mercier cosmetics as Her Global MUA/Trainer. It was there I honed my style of flawless, elegant, timeless makeup. Whether you desire a natural barely there sun kissed look or a dramatic smoky eye nude lip- you will never look caked or 'overdone'.

The service each bride receives from me is of utmost importance to me, treating each bride with the attention they deserve. For this reason I take on a limited number of brides a year.
