I had an amazing shoot with Catrin and Raph a couple weeks ago! They make such a great team. Catrin is an amazing MUA we had three different looks of makeup throughout the ahoot and each look was really professionally done, and with great care and attention to detail. I would love to work with these two again. Ralph is a a,asking photographer and really knows how to get the best out of a model. Hopefully shoot with you guys again!

Catrin came to my home for a photo shoot with ANHPhoto. She was on time and had a vast array of cosmetics and brushes. She is a complete perfectionist and her work reflected that. I looked fantastic and I would recommend her highly. She is blessed with a friendly personality that puts you totally at ease.

Five Stars Catrin and thanks xxx

I have had the pleasure of working with Catrin 3 times now - on a fashion show, and two separate shoots since.

What can I say?? She is a total pro!! :-) Lovely lady, straightforward to deal with, most importantly, her work is outstanding.

Following my latest shoot, we also booked her to give make-up lessons to my two daughters, which they found very useful. Highly recommended. I WILL be back for more :-) Many thanks!!

Catrin makes a great make-up, but it is also very nice, lovable person.

Coming at a session in an unknown place and to unknown people I was afraid who I will meet there and if they will understand me ( I still learning english ;) ) but Catrin greeted me very warmly and cordially. I hope to meet more people like Catrin in my life.

  So with hand on heart- I recommend work with Catrin!

Shot with Catrin today, she's a lovely person, friendly, professional and talented. She and her husband, who does the photography, make a great team! They gave me good direction and had original ideas, looking forward to seeing the end results :)

I worked with Catrin for the first time yesterday and she is a very talented MUA and hair stylist! I answered a casting call she put on on here and I'm so glad I did :D pre-shoot communication was excellent, I knew exactly what to bring and where to be. When I arrived I was immediately offered refreshments and a warm welcome. There was nice and friendly chat, I felt comfortable and relaxed at all times. Cathrin is a very considerate MUA asking if I was ok and making sure I was comfortable.

She knew exactly what look she was trying to achieve and managed it effortlessly. I was very happy with the results. Her Husband was doing the photography for the shoot and he was also very good, giving good direction! Can't wait to see the final results!

Thank you very much for a very enjoyable day, hope to work with you again sometime!

What an amazing shoot!!!!

Fantastic ideas, wonderful make up artist, friendly and totally professional. (Not to mention an absolute joy to be around, so lovely!) I was made to feel comfortable and at ease from start to finish and felt in the best possible hands for a really creative editorial look. Cat used really bright stand out colours on my eyes which really complemented my natural colours, and had produced a look totally different to anything I'd had before, which i adored! I loved how it looked in the shot's and actually didn't want to take it off when I left the shoot! Cat is extremely talented and driven, radiating how much she truly cares about her work. An absolute pleasure to work with, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and would put both hands up at the opportunity to work with Cat again myself!

I couldn't be more enthused about the shoot - and the result. Thank you Cat!

Kindest Regards,

Rach.

Absolutely... brilliant MUA!

Catrin is amazing and her passion does show out through her work.

Well equipped with every colour tone in her kit especially with me coming from an Afro/Caribbean background (which can be difficult).

A keen eye for perfection and knows what the outcome should be.

Catrin you have inspired me and it was a privilege to work with you.

Looking forward to work with you again!

Catrin is an unbelievably talented MUA she came fully prepared and did an outstanding job outside in the cold, under a bridge, just out of the way of the rain! not only is she extremely talented but she is also a lovely person, easy to chat to, relays great ideas on the shoot and quite frankly awesome!!! we will definitely have to work together again......and again.......and again......maybe one more time?.....ok sod it whenever you can make it??

I have come to appreciate that having a MUA on a shoot is just as important as having the correct lens, lighting and model.

I have worked with a few and Catrin is simply the best for many reasons.

From the very simple to the very complex Catrin transforms models into something special, she also has the amazing ability to give me exactly the look I am after, somehow she just knows exactly what it is I am looking for.

However you are not just getting a MUA with Catrin, her calm and assuring persona relaxes the model and Photographer, giving everyone on set the confidence to produce stunning work.

Also having someone like Catrin on set as a second pair of eyes is invaluable, during a shoot even the most astute of Photographers will miss something, a hair out of place or clothing not where it should be, my advice to all Photographers would be to use a MUA on every shoot and if possible use Catrin, you will not be disappointed.

Personally I would like to fold her and her bag of tricks up and keep them in my camera bag. 

I have worked with Catrin on a couple of occasions now and found both her work and her approach to it, utterly incredible. Clearly destined for great things, she has a real talent for her craft and is able to apply that talent impeccably on each and every occasion. What has also amazed me, is her fantastic ability to work with me on each shoot from initial inception, through the planning and then onto the shoot itself. From a photographer’s perspective, Catrin can not come more highly recommended and would 100% be my go-to makeup artist on every single occasion.

Just brilliant. Catrin arrived promptly armed with a suitcase full of makeup (she tells me this is only half her collection) and spent a good amount of time with our model, Alex. She recommended the colour scheme we used and applied it extremely well. During the shoot she offered to help with reflectors etc and kept an attentive eye to touch up makeup as required.

Throughout Catrin was friendly and smiley, even during the periods where she had little to do.

Catrin also offered useful advise during the PP phase by casting her expert eye over the images to pick out any details that could be improved to strengthen the image. Highly recommended!

i've run out of superlatives to describe this young lady. Working with her is truly a pleasure and you won't meet a nicer person. I honestly can't wait to work with her again and i'm already planning a number of shoots with Catrin. She was even polite when i called her Catrina for half an hour. if you're look for an industry ready, talented, reliable, hard working and lovely MUA then look no further.

p.s.She has an incredibly beautiful assistant too!

Sarah Butcher said...

I've worked with Cat twice now and can honestly say that aswell as being extremely talented at what she does, she's a wonder to work with and so easy going.

Would thoroughly recommend her and can't wait to shoot with her again *winkwink* *nudgenudge* ;)

I loved my whole experience of having my hair and makeup done by this amazingly talented and beautiful lady! When I walked in I thought she was another model not a m.u.a ;) this lady is beautiful inside and out and has an amazing talent at what she does with alot of patients. She also stuck around all throughout our shoot to keep touching up my hair and makeup and a few different changes throughout. I can't recommend Catrin enough! Hope we get to work together again.. really enjoyed being in Catrin's company.. an enjoyable experience and truely lovely lady. Thankyou again Catrin! :) x

Working with Cat was such a delight from the get go. Her communication skills were brilliant along with the ideas she had.

I would highly recommend working with Cat, Her Make up and hair work are even better than what i could imagine for our shoots.

Her hard work and skill's were rewarded by us being published.

Keep up the good work Cat, Look forward to collaborating again soon. :)

I have worked with Catrin on 2 occasions now and I must say she is a real pleasure to work with! Lovely girl with fabulous skills and ideas and I just love her accent too! We have some ideas planned for future shoots and I always look forward to working together. Highly recommended to all professionals.

I've worked with Catrin on a few shoots now and cant believe how skilled she is. Cat is also one of the most approachable person I've ever had the pleasure to met. I normally work with another photographer on shoots. But the one shoot I think I spent more time speaking to Cat and let the other photographer carry on photographing the model. Highly recommended.

This was my second shoot with Cat as the mua. The first time was flawless. This time was flawless. Her attention to detail is exemplary, her rapport with both model(s) and myself as photographer is relaxed and enthusiastic and she contributes ideas that work. What more could a shoot want? I genuinely enjoy working with her...and I've zero doubt that next time will be flawless too.
