    Kat did my makeup for my wedding and she did a fabulous job. She is upbeat, professional, and knowledgeable. I had a last minute change regarding the location and she was very accommodating. She also did the makeup for my bridesmaids and was able to finish her work in a timely manner. Choosing Kat was one of the few things that I did not have to stress over.

    I had the pleasure of having Kat work on me for halloween this year. I had been planning this costume for 2 years and I had a clear picture in my head of what I wanted. I gave her the general idea and gave her the freedom to create. I did not watch or peek as she started her job. I wanted to see the whole finished picture. When she was done and I went to see myself, as silly as it may sound, I almost cried. She was able to create the exact look I wanted, what I saw in my head but could not convey in words. It was absolute perfection. I have passed her information along to my friends and proudly give her talent the credit she deserves. Any talented person can be come good at something, but it takes true love and passion to be an artist. Kat is an artist and she can work on any canvas.

    when it comes to makeup you need look no further. Kat is the master of makeup! She can do anything from transforming a face into a character to making you glow with the most natural look. She is my #1 go to lady for any shoot or personal event I have. Her talent goes hand in hand with her humble yet confident personality. She has a soft hand that is balanced by her strong passion for the beauty world!

    Kat DeJesus is an amazing makeup artist!! She did my makeup for a few of my photo shoots and I can honestly say she is by far my favorite. Very knowledgeable in her work. She also gives great advice on what products to use. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of a makeup artist!!

Question and answer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. I do a majority of head shots. Clean basic makeup to make a person look their best. It's very important for professionals too put their best face forward.

Next would be a tie between weddings and fashion shoots.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions. There are a few that are important.

Do you have a portfolio? (Get to know their work and if their style is for you)

What products do you use? (very important, especially for skincare, foundation and concealer)

Do you have a list of references?

It's a very competitive field. Make sure you ask the right questions to find the right artist.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. My passion for my work is my best quality. I am a dedicated perfectionist. I take pride in my work and make sure the client is happy at all cost.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. Bringing out a person's inner beauty and seeing the smile on their face when I am done. Makeup is a privilege not a chore. :)

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. The most commonly asked question is "what makeup is best for me?"

Makeup is very personal. Like a person's hairstyle or finding the perfect pair of jeans. I always tell a person to figure out the kind of person they are. Are you daring and liberal? Are you conservative? Are u a professional? Everyday makeup should reflect your personality and what you want to convey to the world. Don't make it harder than it is. Then after we break down their daily personality we are able to create an easy day look to represent who they are as an individual.
