About Makeup By Catherine

Makeup By Catherine

Owner of Makeup By Catherine

At Makeup by Catherine, beauty is never about changing who you are—it’s about revealing it. I specialize in soft, classic, and timeless makeup that enhances your natural features so you still feel like yourself—just more confident, more radiant, and effortlessly elevated.

Every face I work on is treated with care, intention, and a deep understanding that makeup should never overpower, only highlight what’s already there. Whether you’re preparing for a special moment or simply want to feel your absolute best, my goal is to create a look that lasts, photographs beautifully, and feels comfortable from start to finish.

    Affordable beautiful make up

    I'm so glad I connected with Catherine. Last minute, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to have my hair or makeup done for the big day, but she worked with me and family to make it happen. She were talented, so kind, flexible, and genuinely cared about helping make me feel beautiful and enjoying my day. I'm so thankful I found her, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for hair or makeup services in the area!

    Beautiful Finish

    Catherine was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. She listened carefully to what I wanted and created the perfect soft, timeless look that made me feel beautiful, confident, and still completely like myself. My makeup looked flawless in photos, lasted all day and night, and never felt heavy. Beyond her incredible talent, Catherine brought such a calm, comforting energy to the morning and made the entire experience feel special. If you want a makeup artist who genuinely cares, pays attention to every detail, and makes you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself, I cannot recommend Makeup by Catherine enough!

She was also very accommodating and made me feel relaxed and taken care of, which meant so much to me on such an important day. My makeup looked beautiful, felt comfortable, and lasted throughout the entire celebration. She truly helped me feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day!
