Here’s what clients are saying about Catherine:

“I cannot recommend this lady enough! She did such an amazing job of making me look beautiful for my wedding. I even look great in pictures where I’m making weird faces! She put my makeup-phobic mom at ease and made her look amazing, and she gave my mother-in-law a wicked 60′s super spy hairdo! Catherine truly is the hair and makeup goddess!” – Shannon, married 9/23/12

“Catherine was amazing! She did my engagement photos pin-up style, which looked fabulous. The day of my wedding she was punctual, professional and made me feel at comfortable. Catherine did the makeup for my 5 bridesmaids, my mother and mother-in-law. Everyone looked better than I expected. I felt like I knew Catherine forever. She was very personable and made all my friends laugh. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be my makeup/hair person.” – Anavelia, married 5/12/12

“I fall to knees in honor of this true Goddess Of Makeup. Arrives promptly on time and ready to go with smile. Professionalism at it’s best, with wit and charm to boot. Catherine can create an endless array of looks with the client in mind. Really really lovely vintage work especially. The talent is obvious here, but what you might not know is she has an incredible gift for putting clients at ease. She can sense the comfort level, taking the most nervous nelly to calm, cheerful and ready-to-go.” – Collette Lash, Ambitious Misfit Photography

“My makeup and hair was perfect on my wedding day! I have never felt more beautiful thanks to Makeup by Catherine. Catherine provided guidance when asked and suggested alternatives as needed. She was very professional and I would highly recommend her services for Weddings, Birthdays, girls night out or whatever fun event you may need. Plus, she covered my tattoo on my back that didn’t quite go with my dress…I couldn’t be more grateful than how I looked and felt on my Wedding. Amazing job!” – Michelle, married 9/24/11
