Catalia recently did my bridal makeup on June 29th, as well as my mother and sisters makeup. First, Catalia was very easy to communicate with, from before the trial right until the night before the wedding! I don't really wear makeup and was worried about not looking like myself on my wedding day. I had previously had a traditional sponge application trial, and while it looked great, I did not look like myself. My ceremony was outside and I was also worried about the heat making the makeup uncomfortable or sweating off my face (tears too!). Catalia recommenced airbrushing for this reason and was great with accommodating my needs for picture perfect wedding makeup while still looking like myself. At the trial Catalia took her time to prep my face for the makeup up and listen to my needs for how I wanted to look. After the trial she even sent me home with a little facial prep kit, exfoliating scrub and moisturizing mask, so that my face would be a perfect canvas for the day of my wedding. She even gave me a few different colors of lipstick to try out in case I wanted to experiment with a different color the day of my wedding. Catalia was exceptional the day of my wedding. She's very meticulous to make sure everyone looked exceptional for my big day. A few days prior to the wedding I took my mom and I to get massages and my mom wound up with some bruises on the insides of her arms (we forgot she bruises like a peach). My mother was a little self conscious about this and Catalia took the time to airbrush the little bruises so you couldn't even tell they were there! I was lucky to not have rain the day of my wedding, but it was about 90 degrees and humid! Despite having an outdoor ceremony and photos outside my makeup looked beautiful all the way into the night, didn't even budge at the after party! My mom, who runs hot and was worried about sweating, even had a perfect face after being in the heat. Catalia sent me with a touch up kit for after the ceremony, but I didn't even need it. I can not recommend Catalia for any event enough. She was professional, talented, and really wanted you to be satisfied about how you looked. I haven't gotten my professional photos back yet, but I'm including one taken shortly before leaving the hotel room for the day.

Joan was our hair stylist. She was punctual and fun. We got done in the time we needed to and when one of the hair styles that originally didn’t work out because of lack of hair length, her impromptu hair style was way better than the original hairstyle. Good company, highly recommend.

Catalia did a short notice airbrush trial for my daughter. She did it on a Sunday which worked out well for my daughter. How many salons are open on a Sunday? Cat really listens to her customer and does a great job. She will be doing my daughters makeup for her Wedding. Thank you Cat!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will look at your inspiration pictures, and to discuss colors and style. We’ll map out one or more specific “looks” on face-charts, based on your plans for engagement/bridal photos in addition to the wedding. At the trial you will share with me what details are most important to you or any concerns you may have. My goal for this meeting is to let you get to know me and my work and begin to earn your trust so you will know you have made the right decision. I’ll also apply your photo-ready wedding day look makeup. At large weddings I ensure the process to flow stress free by keeping a plan of action and approved with the wedding planner, bride & attendants (Maid of Honor, bridesmaids, mother of bride, mother of groom, junior bridesmaids. I make sure the looks are appropriate for the time of day for the event. The makeup will look flawless & last all day and night without looking caked on or fake. I am able to give that beautiful glow and not a look that changes the client to look like a different person. Every client loves the way I apply their makeup even clients who never wear makeup. Clients not used to wearing will feel comfortable in makeup. I bring out their features while giving them a look that will make them fit in, while not being the one that doesn’t keep the flow of the overall look of the entire bridal party.
