Absolutely wonderful!
From day 1, I knew that I didn't want anyone else but Katie doing my makeup. I didn't even have to do a trial run with her because I trusted her that much! She basically showed up the day of (on the dot and so on time that even I wasn't even ready for her!) and worked her magic. All she needed to know was what color my scheme was and a general idea of what I wanted and she literally created the perfect look for me! I'm not the type of person who wears a lot of makeup daily and I told Katie that I still wanted to look like "me" but just with makeup on. And she did it! I've never seen my eyes look so beautiful and delicate all at the same time!
Despite the time crunch, she and her charming assistant worked efficiently and meticulously and got me ready on time without skipping out on the quality and customer service. I was a nervous bride and Katie was so sweet to keep me calm and level headed. Not only was she professional in her artistry, but she knew the right things to say to ease my nerves to make me feel better. I would not have been able to start my day off right had it not been for her encouraging and light-hearted words to scare away the jitters.
My makeup stayed on the whole entire morning, day, and evening with only the occasional lipgloss touch up and oil blotting! I was still so impressed with it at 1:30am when I was getting ready to take it off after the night was over, because it still looked really fresh! Katie also did my hair for the morning, but it got snagged when I was changing out of my Vietnamese traditional dress...but the curls that Katie had put in were perfectly fabulous! So perfect that my aunt had no trouble adjusting my curls and resetting them! I was extrememly thankful for the time Katie had put into doing my curls and teasing my hair (she used almost all her hair arsenal on me...from the little curling iron to the big curling iron...even a flat iron!).
I highly recommend you go with Katie for your makeup and hair. You will not be dissapointed! Unlike other makeup artists who will make you look like an overdone barbie doll that barely even resembles you, Katie will highlight your natural beauty and bring out the gorgeous version of you (so that your soon-to-be husband will still see the girl he fell in love with underneath). She is super reliable and professional and actually cares about how you look and feel! She is the most genuine and down to earth girl you will ever meet...and truly does have a warm heart. Believe me, you don't want to go with anyone else but Katie B.
