Kevin-James Bennett, Director, Artistry & Development, Make Up For Ever
“Kathy is an amazing makeup-artist who really understands the value of clean beauty, radiant skin, and high-fashion. Her ability to self-edit is unparalleled in this area. We worked together in NYC at Kitchen Studios and she managed to keep an admirable balance of expedience and creativity the entire time. I look forward to working with her again!”

“I have know Kathy and her work for few years now and saw her grow into amazing artist. Her versatility,talent, hard work, ambition and determination amazes me and makes me very proud of her.”
Viktorija Bowers, makeup artist, NY
“I have worked with Kathy on a number of shoots as well. I never have to watch her. She is skilled and talented and knows what the client wants. I never have to watch her do anything. She is reliable, dependable, and good at what she does. I always refer her work and asked her if I need another artist on board with me.”
Heather Fox, Freelance Makeup Artist, Chicago
“I have worked with Kathy on several occasions and her results are fantastic. I enjoy working with her because of her humble approach and I almost want to keep her to myself for every project that I work on but I know that is impossible. I highly recommend Kathy's artistry and I have to say also that she is a fabulous hair stylist as well. I remember that I was pleasantly surprised at what she was able to do to a models hair on more than one occasion since I am so used to working with teams that contained a separate hair and makeup artist. She is EXCELLENT at what she does.”
Opé M, Owner, OpeStyle.com
“Kathy has helped many brides look their best on their wedding day. She doesn't have just one style, she listens to the bride and then does a wonderful job achieving the desired look. She is professional, on-time and has great skill in making women beautiful!”
