OVERVIEW
Hi I’m Kathryn, the makeup artist behind KM Makeup. Makeup is a real passion of mine and I absolutely love seeing my clients look come together. Especially on their wedding day.
Having those amazing images that last the test of time, come down to the details. I love creating a radiant, timeless and natural look that leaves a lasting impression. One that will be a part of your many treasured memories.

FAQ
Yes I do bridal trials. They go for about 2 hours.
Yes absolutely although having some sort of direction or general idea is essential. Being a visual person there is a difference in verbalising your idea and showing me. An idea of something natural might be another ladies overdone.
If you don't like it, tell me. It is best that you say it while we are there with my kit and brushes still out. A preview is for exactly this reason. As a makeup artist it is my job to ensure you are happy with the look created for your wedding day. If you are unsure about something we can tweak it. This is also why we schedule 2 hours for previews.
Applicable service fees will be added to the invoice as needed and if applicable.
Please ask for more details regarding travel and possible assistants.
Additional fees apply for Holidays such as:
It's good to be read 45 mins before your ceremony. When factoring in timing also allow for travel time to the venue and a buffer as a just in case.
If you are planning on having waxing done (eye brows, upper lip etc.) this should be scheduled at least a week or 3 days before the wedding or makeup service in case of irritation. Makeup won't sit well on a freshly waxed face.
