    Katt was great to work with! She was the make up artist for my friend's wedding earlier this year, and I was beyond happy with the final product. As a Bridesmaid you're in the hands of the Bride when it comes to the artist you'll be working with, and my friend made a great choice - thanks Laura!

    Katt's service was amazing! She was so easy to talk to and my makeup was flawless. She was even able to cover up a few zits that showed up that morning

    It would be quite a while before I would run out of wonderful things to say about Katt. I found her through Wedding Wire and was so happy to find she was willing to do my wedding makeup. The look we agreed on at my trial was flawless and what she did on the day of my wedding. She is skilled, knowledgeable and, most importantly, calm. We had a bit of a medical emergency the morning of my wedding. Not only did Katt help us as we waited for the ambulance, she did my makeup after the paramedics left. You couldn't even tell we had such an exciting morning. It was just as flawless as the far less stressful trial run. She was so time efficient that even with our emergency, I was ready on time. I literally cannot imagine how the morning would have run without her and cannot begin to describe how much help she gave me in some pretty intense circumstances. After all that, she managed to fix an antique necklace that we couldn't open! She was prepared for almost anything to happened and I trusted that Katt could handle it. The only hands I trust my face with now!

    Katt is absolutely amazing! None of my girls wear a lot of make up, and Katt made everyone look so naturally beautiful! She's is always ahead of schedule (one of my favorite things) which helps decrease some stress while getting ready. All around great experience and she is just a fun person to have as part of your day :)

    Katt is amazing. She is ridiculously talented, fun to be around, and makes you feel beautiful and fabulous all while highlighting your natural beauty. I have had a few makeup bookings with Katt, from photo shoots to charity events. For my upcoming wedding, I’ll be sure to book with her. With a roster of Hollywood experience, she is super knowledgeable in any skin type, all things makeup, and products. Katt is picky in the best way possible. Her technique is just my style. I have had makeup done by other makeup artists to a point where I don’t look like myself anymore. She is great at asking questions to understand your personal style. The scheduling process is very easy as well. I usually do it online or through email. I couldn’t say enough great things about Katt. I can’t wait for her to do my bridesmaids and my makeup on my wedding day next year, Aug 2017.

    Katt is absolutely wonderful. She's an esthetician with stage makeup experience so she uses only the best products to make you feel beautiful. I worked with Katt a few months before the wedding to make sure my skin was in tip top shape before the big day and I still visit her regularly. Everyone from my 92 year old grandmother to my beautiful bridesmaids loved the way they looked that day.

    Absolutely amazing! Katt was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process and was so calm and reassuring throughout an otherwise stressful day. Not only did everyone's makeup look beautiful but she gave me some great recommendations to keep my skin healthy. I couldn't have been happier to have trusted Katt on my wedding day! Highly, highly recommended!

    I just can't believe what a beautiful job Katt did for our wedding! She went above and beyond to accommodate my wedding party of 13 girls. When everyone seemed to be stressed and freaking out about time, Katt was calm and running 5 minutes ahead of schedule.

    Katt is wonderful! She did the makeup for my daughter's wedding - the bride, 8 bridesmaids and me. What a pleasure she was. Always professional, she also added a calmness to what could have been a little bit of a stressful time! She traveled downtown, was very prompt, and worked very quickly without any of us feeling rushed. My daughter's makeup looked beautiful, as did all the bridesmaids. The bride and I had debated for some time during the wedding planning about different makeup artists, and different types of makeup applications. When we spoke to Katt, we appreciated that she took the time to explain the differences and give us her honest opinion of what would be best. She was spot on - all of our makeup lasted beautifully all day, without a heavy makeup look. Everyone felt she listened to them in terms of heavier/lighter makeup and everyone was very pleased and looked fantastic! We all received many compliments!! My daughter had a pretty clear vision of how she wanted her makeup to look, and Katt worked with her during her trial to get it just right. She also worked with my daughter in the months leading up to the wedding to get her skin looking its best. She is definitely a talented esthetician as well! I would highly recommend Katt! And did I mention that she is a warm, caring and fun person? She definitely added a special touch to a very special day.

    Katt was absolutely phenomenal to work with! My cousin has been going to her for years for facials and sent me Katt's information for my July wedding. I am so glad- Katt did such an incredible job on my wedding makeup! I got married July 9th and was worried about my makeup sweating off in the heat & humidity, but my makeup stayed in place all day & night. Katt was super professional, fun to work with, and talented. She was so patient with me even after I requested a second makeup trial to make sure my wedding day makeup was exactly what I had envisioned. She did not even flinch when I asked her to arrive at my house at 6am the day of my wedding to take care of the makeup for my 7 bridesmaids, mom, mother in law, and me. She worked quickly but was not rushed, and ended up finishing makeup on all 10 of us in plenty of time. If you have the chance to work with Katt, I can't recommend her enough. She will add such a fun and relaxed vibe to your wedding day! Thanks Katt!

    Grafin Skin and Beauty's reply:

    I had such a wonderful time working with you and your girls! What amazing energy you all had that day, all joy and not a bit of stress! May your marriage be blessed with love and joy!

    Katt is friendly and detail oriented when it comes to her services. From the experiences I have had with her she was professional and went above and beyond the normal service. Her services are worth any long drive and I cannot find anything average about her, her service and professionalism. Highly recommended and it was worth more than the price.

    Katt is one amazing makeup artist that listens to what you want. After listening to your needs she then offers suggestions based off of your features. I wanted a natural look but really wanted my eyes to pop. We did a trial run first and she studied my face and asked me about my daily routine. She asked me to bring in any photos that might have a style that I was looking for. Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything, but I trusted her to create something she felt would fit what I was looking for. She did just that!

    On the day of the trial she selected colors accordingly and got to work. During our time together we spoke about planning and the big day. She made me feel comfortable as if we have been friends forever. Before I knew it, she was completed and had me turn around to study her art. It was perfect, just the way I wanted it! She enhanced my natural features and really made my eyes pop. I was super excited to show off my face for an event that night. At the event everyone commented on how good I looked and it barely looked like I had any makeup on. The trial worked out beautifully and I couldn’t wait for the big day.

    On my special day, Katt was the first person I saw. My schedule was a little chaotic that day and she was super flexible. Again she gave me the same kind of attentive attention and treated me like a princess. When it came time to look in the mirror at her final art, I was in awe! I looked phenomenal! Everything I wanted and more. That day the compliments were consistent and many people could not get over the fact that my makeup looked so beautiful and natural. My eyes were stunning, especially when the sun hit them. I was glowing on my wedding day! I can’t imagine my day without Katt being part of it. Thank you so much for being part of one of the biggest days of my life. It wouldn’t have been the same without you!

    Oh Stephanie, you made me cry! I loved being there with you on your big day, such joy I won't forget anytime soon. Thank you so much.

    Professional, caring, and passionate about her career, Katt made my wedding experience and preparation for the wedding an exceptional experience. My face became more and more radiant after each visit. The attention to detail, the concern about your face as an individual is what sets Katt a part from other estheticians that I have worked with. After my first visit I was sold. The experience was lovely and the results were fabulous. I feel and look great. Thanks Katt! Post wedding and I am still using her services! She's the best.

    Katt was absolutely fabulous! At our trial, she really listened to what I wanted and worked me to create the perfect wedding look. On the day of she delivered! I have never been more happy with getting my make up done. Katt was able to create different looks; some of my bridesmaids wanted heavier or lighter makeup and Katt listened to their wants and they looked great! All of my bridesmaids looked stunning and were very happy! Katt was friendly and fit right in with the group. She kept us on time and we never felt rushed. My makeup lasted through out the night! I was so pleased with my makeup . Katt was WONDERFUL and I would highly recommend her to any bride!

    Katt recently did the wedding make up (October 2015) for myself and my bridesmaids as well as both the mothers of the bride and the groom. All I can say is AMAZING! Everyone looked so beautiful while still not looking overdone! My makeup did not feel heavy by any means but lasted the entire night! She was so much fun to work with and has such an amazing sense of humor. She gave me some tips during my trial to have my skin looking its best my wedding day and she was so right! I would highly recommend her! She is professional, talented and fun!

    Katt is a skincare & makeup genius! She's helped bring my acne/hyper pigmentation skin back to life over the past two years. When it came to selecting a makeup artist for my wedding I had no doubt Katt would do a fabulous job on mine and my bridal party's makeup - and she certainly did! I was a little nervous since I don't like to wear makeup often, but she made me look like a natural glammed up version of myself. My new hubby and I also did a series of peel and facial treatments with her prior to the wedding and it made all the difference - our skin looked great the day-of and throughout our honeymoon! Katt is very knowledgeable on everything skin/makeup related, super friendly and personable, and a true professional. We'll both keep going back to her until she retires ;)

    Grafin Skin and Beauty's reply:

    Good thing for you guys that I'm not planning on retiring anytime soon :) I loved being able to be there for you guys on your day. I have enjoyed working with you both so much and can't wait for our next appointment. Congratulations!!

    Katt of Grafin Skin and Beauty is truly a first-class professional with personality and passion to boot. As I was searching for a makeup artist for my wedding, I wanted someone who could make my makeup look glamorous while still making it look natural. I also wanted someone who would be flexible, punctual and easy to work with. Needless to say, I got all of this working with Katt, but I also got so much more. Katt is a trained professional who believes that beautiful makeup begins with a beautiful base. She was so attune to the type of skin I had, the skin issues I was worried about, and how to maximize the "beauty" on the day of my wedding. I was picky and yet had very little vision of just what I wanted -- Katt was patient and helped me make decisions that best suited the look I was going for (including mixing about 15 different shades of "bubble gum pink" for my lips.) I was not just another client to Katt; she made me feel special and truly embraced being a part of my wedding day. I was beyond happy with how my make up turned out. All of my bridesmaids looked stunning, too! Beyond being the most wonderful addition to my wedding day, I have become a "frequent flier" for her other outstanding services. Again, Katt is a well-rounded professional who can do it all. Thank you, Katt, from the bottom of my heart for all you did to make my wedding day a success!

    Grafin Skin and Beauty's reply:

    Oh Amy, you made me cry. I was so honored to be there for you during that process and on the big day. I am so excited to continue to work with you and watch your family change throughout the coming years. xoxo

    Katt was amazing. She went above and beyond to accommodate me and my bridesmaids for wedding makeup. The makeup artist I was planning on using fell through the week before my wedding (panic sets in!) and thankfully a family friend recommended Katt. She came in on her usual day off to do a trial and the makeup was so beautiful and natural; she really took her time and made me very comfortable.

    On the day of my wedding, Katt was prompt (I think even early) and my bridesmaids and mom loved their makeup- everyone looked so beautiful. Katt stayed until we left for the ceremony to make sure we didn't have any last-minute fixes. She even helped with a couple non-makeup related things.

    I'm SO glad things worked out the way they did- I truly hope there is a time I can use Katt's services again!

    Grafin Skin and Beauty's reply:

    Elena, I'm so happy that I was able to help you on your day. I had so much fun meeting you and your girls. There was an undeniable buzz of happiness in that room that morning, I'm just so happy to have been witness to it. You are such a beautiful person inside and out, I couldn't be happier for you and your husband. Here's to your future, may it always be filled with joy!

    Katt did a wonderful job with my makeup and my bridal group on my wedding day! I had my guests stunned at how beautiful I looked and my girls on my special day and recieved so many comments on how stunning my face looked! The makeup wasn't over done that made me look like a clown and lasted all day long! I would recommend all brides out there to chose katt to be their makeup artist for their future wedding day!!!!

    As mother of the bride I couldn't have been more pleased with Katt. She made me look and feel very glamorous in a very natural way on my daughter's wedding day. Katt is easy to work with and won't do anything you are unsure about. I did a trial with her a few months earlier, which sold me immediately! On the day of the wedding everything went so smooth for me, the bridal party and my daughter. I would highly recommend her!

    Katt was amazing and did an awesome job with my makeup and my whole bridal party. She was very easy to work with and would respond to my questions (even the stupid ones) very quickly and was always there to give advice and help with anything. I would definitely recommend her to any bride or for any other occasion.

    I first met Katt when she did my makeup for my engagement photos - I then booked her for our wedding for several reason... My makeup felt natural and flawless. She was so fun to work with and very professional. Most girls I feel would be nervous about makeup on their wedding day and she definitely took that fear away! I felt amazing & glamorous!

    She also did makeup for my mother in law and 6 bridesmaids ...and they looked fabulous! They all agreed as well :).

    Katt's professionalism, mixed with her artistic touch and her sweet compassion are a wonderful blend of care and top notch service! I was totally amazed by my makeup and skin for one of the most significant days of my life! she's the best and I have never meet anyone quite like her!

    Katt did the make-up for my wedding. I loved the make-up she did for me, my mom, and bridesmaids. The make-up was exactly what I hoped for and lasted all night. I would definitely recommend her for anyone needing their make-up done for an event.
