Kind Words
What past clients are saying

I had an amazing experience with Makeup by Kait. She was recommended to me by several people, including another makeup artist! She did my wedding makeup as well as my wedding party. I am very particular about certain aspects of my makeup, but Kait was super easy to work with. The results were stunning and I truly didn’t want to take my makeup off! She was really flexible and helpful as my sister, who was doing her own makeup, ran into an issue applying foundation/concealer on peeling/sunburned skin. Kait, without hesitation, gave my sister supplies and tips on how to better apply her products. Kait’s willingness to help others and knowledge about makeup application were greatly appreciated as it resolved the situation! I would 100% recommend her!

I found kait on instagram and messaged her about doing special occasion makeup for my maternity and family pictures. She was prompt on reaching out, extremely flexible, and was detailed in asking about my skincare and what I was looking for. She listened to what I wanted and made me feel comfortable enough to ask for changes if needed. She’s very personable and cares about her craft. She even let me bring my 10 month old with me! Highly recommend for your special occasion or big day!

Kait did an AMAZING job for our wedding. She made me and my partner feel so welcome. Working with Kait was like chatting with a friend! Plus, we are LGBTQIA+, and Kait was so sweet about making sure we felt supported. She juggled our different needs, and was even willing to pivot on the wedding day when I asked to tweak my look. She does excellent work!

Makeup by Kait was so easy to work with! She sent all information needed at the perfect times, reached out when she needed more information, and sent a very helpful timeline. Additionally, she checked in on me about my trial and made changes. On the day of, she was very flexible and comforting. She did a phenomenal job on all of the makeup applications. I got so many compliments on my makeup throughout the day. My makeup stayed all day long! I still looked amazing at 1:30am when taking off my makeup. I highly recommend her for all your makeup needs.

Kait was wonderful to work with and so talented! She communicated clearly throughout the process and made all of us feel beautiful on our wedding day. Our makeup stayed flawless all day long, surviving the sweat from dancing and all the happy tears! I highly recommend her for any of your makeup needs.

I was looking to update my makeup routine and specifically wanted a one-on-one tutorial with someone who wasn't beholden to a specific brand. She incorporated my current makeup along with new products into the makeover and followed up with an email providing the names of suggested new products. She showed me new application techniques and also had me practice those techniques. I walked away feeling more confident in my ability to create an updated and polished look
