What My Clients Say
“Meeting and working with Cati was one of the best things to happen to my wedding!! So amazingly talented and such a kind soul. She made myself and my family feel so comfortable right off the bat, we knew we were in good hands. Cati and her team use top quality products and have a range of shades and color palettes. She is meticulous, taking time to carefully prep my skin before starting with makeup. They listen to the client and work with you even if you aren’t sure about what you want. My family and I have never had our hair and makeup done so well! Cati was the best start to the most important day of my life yet...forever grateful!!!”

“I don't know where to begin! I came across Cati and her work whilst frantically looking for a make up artist for my destination wedding in Portugal. I was really apprehensive about having my make up done as I normally do not wear that much on my face however from the moment I started talking to Cati about my wedding and the type of look that I was going for, she immediately understood and did an amazing job for my make up trial! Cati was so lovely, professional and helpful when I would message/email about different ideas for hair and make up I had and whether they would work for my various outfits.
The looks Cati created for my actual wedding days were just amazing- it was exactly what I was looking for! I received so many compliments and above all, I felt really comfortable that I looked like an enhanced version of myself and not like a totally different dolled up person! Thank you so so much for doing an incredible job Cati, I cannot thank you or recommend you enough!”

“Cati did my bridal hair and makeup for my wedding in May and I cannot recommend her enough!! As someone who generally doesn’t wear a ton of makeup I was really nervous about finding the right person but Cati made me feel glamorous on my wedding day and not overdone. Her professional demeanor and the warmth of personality made me feel immediately comfortable and it was easy to explain the look I wanted (even if I really didn't know exactly what that was myself!).
On top of being such a talented professional, she is just such a lovely person. She styled four girls' hair for my wedding as well and we all loved hanging out with her on the day of the wedding - exchanging stories and plenty of laughs.
I feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful hair & makeup artist to make my big day that much more special. Thank you Cati!”

“Trying to find a make-up artist for your wedding day on the other side of the world can be extremely overwhelming and nerve racking, but from reviewing Cati’s portfolio and social media, I felt she could do the job and boy, was I on the money! Cati is a phenomenal makeup artist and hairstylist! She provided make-up for my bridesmaids and myself and I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know my bridesmaids were equally satisfied. Cati has a wonderful eye for colour and style. She nailed all our requests with her added personal touches!
She moves throughout the preparations of the day with a calm, collected, and stress-free attitude. We were so calm all morning because we knew we were in such great hands. Our makeup looked great all night long with hardly a touch-up. She was brilliant and exceeded all my expectations! I can’t recommend Cati enough! She is so talented at her craft and you can tell she really loves what she does.
Thank you Cati!”— Joi / Sydney, Australia
“If you're looking for a skilled, patient, passionate and professional hair/makeup artist, you should look no further. Cati does equally beautiful work with both hair and makeup, and can accommodate varying skin tones, skin types, and hair types. She's incredibly versatile, with the ability to create as dramatic or natural of a look as you want. She brings with her a calming presence that had me feeling confident from the moment she arrived.
Having had some really bad hair/makeup experiences in the past, I knew I needed to do a LOT of research to find someone that I could trust to listen to my needs, and make me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day (especially since I was planning my wedding from overseas). The reviews alone spoke for themselves, and they are all 100% spot on. Don't skim on your big day, bring in Cati. She is the real deal, will integrate perfectly into your day, and will bring your vision of looking your absolute best to life.”

“I can't recommend Cati enough! She was so incredibly helpful during my trial and on my wedding day. She was punctual, totally attentive and listened to what I wanted/didn't want. And most of all, she's a super talented artist!
I reached out to her online for our destination wedding in Portugal. Since we were travelling there from Canada, I was a little nervous selecting someone without having met them first, but I was so lucky to have found Cati. She was lovely, and the process of booking/coordinating with her via Canada was seamless. I was thrilled with my hair and make-up, as were my bridesmaids. Thank you, Cati!”
— Caeli / Toronto, Canada
“I had booked a few trials for my wedding hair and makeup, as soon as I met Cati, I immediately knew - she is simply brilliant.
Cati did my hair and makeup for my wedding in July 2019. It was flawless, elegant and perfect. I wanted a natural look that would last the heat of Portugal. She delivered a million times more than what I could have ever dreamed about.I couldn’t recommend her enough, she is so lovely, professional and will give her honest opinion which is so rare to find. Her prices are competitive but so worth it.I adore Cati and will forever get my hair and makeup done by her for the future.
Thank you again Cati for making me feel a million dollars!”
— Christie / London, UK
“Organizing a wedding abroad in Portugal, I had been worried it would be a challenge finding someone I could trust (and communicate with clearly!) to style hair & makeup for myself and my bridesmaids to suit all of our individual tastes. Cati was amazing - very rare to find someone who can do both hair and makeup so beautifully! Working with her, from first outreach, she was always on time, quick to respond, communicated various options well and ultimately helped me look perfect on my wedding day. Everything stayed put the entire night.
She was also lovely to chat with while getting all of us ready beforehand! I cannot recommend her enough.”
- Brittany / USA
“Cati was by far, an exceptional make up artist. I got married abroad so it was a tedious process to find a makeup artist that would pull off what I wanted since I, myself, am a perfectionist. I found her through Instagram and instantly knew she had talent for effortless, beautiful make up. She believes in enhancing one's look, not changing it. Cati is a perfectionist at best and listens to your needs. Her friendly demeanour makes it easy to get along with her and my family loved her!
Cati is the most ideal make up artist, she will go above and beyond. Her talent says it all! Thank you for everything, Cati. xx”

“I am so glad I reached out to Cati, who made the whole thing so, so easy.
She’s not only great at what she does – she’s lovely, funny, humble and totally open to working with you to get it right so you’re absolutely comfortable – both in the trial (where she takes a lot of time and care to get it right) and on the big day.”
- Leila / Dubai
“I’m so glad I picked Cati as my hair stylist! She was super easy to communicate with and helped arrange our getting ready plan for the day - she did my hair, my mum’s hair and my sister’s hair and made the whole experience so easy and relaxing. We all took her advice on hairstyles that would suit us, and we all loved the end result. Cati even squeezed in a last minute ‘bouncy blow-dry’ for my aunt. My sister was the make up artist for the day, but Cati still stepped in at the last minute to help my sister with a false eyelash that wouldn’t cooperate. I’m addition, Cati was very conscientious with H&S in regards to the COVID rules at the time. Lots of hand washing, we both wore masks for the trial, and Cati wore a mask on the day - but you could still sense her smile through it all! Hopefully we also gave her enough space to be comfortable, as Cati definitely took an element of stress away from the day. I wish I had another excuse to ask her to do my hair again.”

Testimonials from my google business page
“I am so happy to give Cati a raving 5 star review - she exceeded my expectations. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, I was so happy with the end result. I think it is one of my favorite hair styles ever done. I loved that I was able to explain the overall style and she asked the right questions to align her vision with mine. Ponytails are not easy, but she made it look chic and beautiful. Further, her presence while we were all getting ready was welcomed and a great addition to the day. A wedding day is truly such a personal time for most people and having her in the room with us felt like just having another friend around. Cati, thanks so much for making this experience such a wonderful one.”
- Krista / USA
“Cati is such a skilled hair a makeup artist, and did an amazing job for my wedding. Both my hair and makeup were exactly what I wanted, and even better than I imagined. Cati also has a very calming presence when she's working too, which is a big plus when you're trying to stay relaxed the morning of your wedding! Thanks so much Cati for everything. x”

“I am based in California and found Cati on Instagram when I was searching for a hair and make-up artist for my wedding in Lisbon. I had my hair and make up trial with her in Aug 2019 and loved how my overall look turned out. She was extremely kind, patient and made me feel very comfortable; setting up an appointment was really easy over email. I am completely helpless when it comes to doing my own hair and make up and was very vague when I described and showed her the "look" I was going for. It felt as though she read my mind and ended up creating the exact look that I wanted: natural, effortless and whimsical. While I ultimately had to cancel my wedding in Lisbon due to the pandemic, Cati has been extremely flexible, understanding and professional throughout the process. I wish she could come to my wedding in California instead! I cannot say enough nice things about her and highly recommend her. She will not only make you look great, but she will make you feel great too. :)”

“As soon as I found Cati on instagram I decided that I had to look no further as she was going to be my makeup artist. She is immensely talented and put my vision into action so effortlessly. Her bright personality and calming attitude left me extremely confident to leave her to work on my canvas and do her magic! I could not recommend her enough.”
