I shot with Katie several times, I am not sure how many times now! She is a gem on making models look beautiful and creative at the same time, if not outrageous cool designs. She has put so much effort into the shoot she made 3 headpieces, they were all crafted beautiful and each of them are very unique. I appreciate all the effort she goes through and don't miss your chance on booking Katie, she will make the images look fantastic!

Katie was working as a makeup artist on a recent 'Egyptian' themed Portrait X shoot in Virginia Water. She created some fabulous looks on the models, with hints of Ancient Egypt running through the styling. A hard-working, polite and passionate MUA, her attention to detail and technical expertise made for some wonderful images. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to other creatives and professionals.

Katie did an amazing job of my makeup for the 'Jekyll and Hyde' Portrait X shoot at Crossness Pumping station. It was originally going to be done by a different makeup artist but she ended up taking over due to timing and did a wonderful job despite not having planned for it at all! She is very gentle and professional and even did some styling on my hair that suited the theme. I highly recommend her and hope I get to work with her again.

I had the pleasure of working with Katie on a shoot this evening and it was brilliant. Katie applied through a casting I put out to create half skull make-up for a skull themed portrait shoot.

The make-up she created for the shoot was amazing, so detailed and beautifully done, she is a very talented make-up artist, very professional, lovely to be around and very considerate towards me as her model, asking if I needed a break or if she was putting too much pressure on my skin - little things but very important :)

I would highly recommend Katie to any team, shes awesome.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Katie today and she was fantastic.

Katie is so kind, thoughtful and talented in her field of work. She worked efficiently yet to a very high standard which ensured every image that we had and every look was on point and completely perfect.

Katie is nothing but a delight to work with, I highly recommend getting her involved in any photoshoot.

Katie did an amazing job with my makeup and hair. Good communication before the shoot, sharing ideas and inspiration. She was professional, creating the perfect look for native american.

I had the pleasure of being made utterly filthy by Katie for a cowboy shoot. She was professional and very thorough in her work and made sure I was well and truly ready for the part.

Aside from that she's friendly and relaxed while she works.

What can I say about Katie! Professional, prepared, extremely talented and an all round lovely lady!

I've wanted to work with Katie for some time so was thrilled when we got the chance to shoot two looks, both with difficult intense make up which Katie nailed! She needed very little direction and managed to get the look we had in mind spot on, and was really useful with ideas to make sure we had created something unique.

She is so creative and relaxed I felt right at home with her and really enjoyed our shoot, highly recommended and can't wait to shoot again.

Thank You!

I worked with Katie for the second time yesterday - this time with the lovely Lulu Lockhart. Katie was brilliant in both make up and hair styling and created the looks for each theme perfectly - in fact so good that sometimes it felt I was working with a different model for each of the themes - Grecian, art deco and avant garde! Katie is such a lovely person, her pre-shoot communication is excellent, she is quiet and efficient, easy to work with and she co-operates brilliantly with model and photographer. Not only that but Katie decorated two hats pre-shoot which together with make-up and styling ensured the avant garde part of the shoot was truly stunning. Thank you so much, Katie. Highly recommended to all photographers and hopefully we can work together again before too long.

I had the pleasure of working with Katie for the second time today. We'd planned 3 different looks for our model (WhiteRabbitAlice) Communications pre shoot were excellent. Katie's satnav led her a merry dance to get to me, but she arrived with a smile, checked what we were doing first, then worked rapidly to translate my vague concepts into exactly the right look for each set. She's friendly, fun and talented. She's happy to pitch in with the shoot and help well outside her MUA duties. The range of looks she created today alone are a testament to her skill. I know Alice was impressed with her work

If you're looking for a professional make up artist and hair stylist, look no further. Book Katie :D

Thanks Katie. Highly recommended.

WhiteRabbitAlice

Today I got to work with this amazing woman and she somehow managed to make me look absolutely amazing with both hair and make up. I went from soft glamour to feral witch of the wilds to shimmering golden girl and all within a short time span. I highly recommend her and would love to work with her again

I had the pleasure of working with Katie on a photo shoot with model Corbeau Lis where a specific 'look' was required by the model for a series of pictures. Katie's hair and makeup Skills were excellent and I got my pictures! Highly recommended.

Thank you Katie, it was a pleasure to see your creativity in action.

I love working with Katie, as she's always a joy to have on shoots.

Shes reliable, she can follow a brief to the tee, but her own imagination is pretty damn good.

She will even hold a reflector or flash if needed, she really is one of my fave MUA's and no doubt i will be dragging her to shoots in the future :)

Luna Marie Hutchings

Katie is professional and very good at her work.

My make up was spot on and Katie helped with styling and dressings, very pleased

Sayers2

Katie responded to a casting call about a month before the shoot and had great pre shoot communication. I gave her carte blanche to do as she wished with the make up and I was very happy with the results. She was also in direct communication with the model before the shoot to ensure she was ready to be made up.

She arrived on time and she stayed for the duration of the shoot and helped out. She even offered some great suggestions for poses to get more out of the props we had made.

Katie replied to a casting I put up to do the make up for a professional pop singer HunnyB, she was amazing in everyway, creative, works fast, willing to help out, has great input, knows her job 100%, wish I had met her before, she is now very much on "my first contact list when I need an MUA", I cant recommend her enough, wonderful lady and Thank you so much Martin :)
