Makeup By Cathy

Cathy is a fantastic makeup and hair artist! I am VERY picky about both makeup and hair (my hair is very thin) and she did a phenomenal job of understanding what I wanted and made me look beautiful for both my bridal shower and wedding! She has her own studio and is willing to travel to your event. Cathy showed up early to my venue and had everything done even earlier than expected! The fact that she does both hair and makeup just makes it easy and worth the cost. :)

Cathy is professional, personable, friendly, funny, and talented! I’ve never had my makeup professional done, and what’s better than to call Cathy to help to get the look you really want. It was my bff’s wedding, and being the MOH, I just wanted to relax on the morning of. She also did my hair, and it felt light, painless, and held in all day all night. Oh by the way, my makeup lasted from 9am-​1am, about 16 hrs. Magical :) Thank you Cathy for giving me such an awesome experience!

Cathy did my hair and makeup for my sisters wedding and she did not disappoint! She did a great job and made me look beautiful! She’s patient and cares about how you feel about the end product. Thanks Cathy!

This review is long overdue! I was referred to Cathy and her team by my friend and I am so happy that I did! From the first moment of emailing Cathy, she was responsive, friendly and super helpful. Cathy was very professional in sketching out the day-​of timeline. She worked with me to fit all the hair and makeup into my crazy morning schedule and was flexible in adjusting the timeline at the last minute.
Cathy did the hair and makeup for me, the moms and my bridal party and did an absolutely amazing job. The best I can describe her work is that she makes you look like the best version of yourself. Everyone looked beautiful and special in a way that just enhanced who they were. I had a special request of braids hairstyle for my bridal party and she made each style uniquely their own and it was gorgeous.
The trial that we did before the wedding was really helpful! Cathy knew what worked well for my face and the outcome on the wedding day was absolutely wonderful. I showed her a few pictures of the desire hairstyles and she adjusted a few things based on what would work for me best and I couldn’t be more happy w/​the end result. And on the day-​of, she was fun and bubbly to be around, helped keep the mood light and calm. Couldn’t have asked for more!!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better hair & makeup artist for the most memorable day of my life, I would recommend Cathy to anyone!!!

So glad I found Cathy through Instagram! I was looking for a makeup/​hair artist that could doll me up for a friend’s wedding. After many inquiries with other artists, I didn’t feel the connection and sense of customer service urgency like I did with Cathy. So of course, I picked Cathy at the end and she was super friendly and professional to show me her portfolio through texting!
At the day of our appointment, she had her little sister, Vivian started on my hair and she was very down-​to-​earth and very sweet too! She asked me to show her a picture of what I would like to do. I picked an up-​do that was pushed to the side, curled and scrunched up for an ‘elegant’ look. Cathy arrived a little later since she was with another client onsite and she helped Vivian with the hair. Definitely sister love and team work!
Cathy asked what kind of makeup would I like and I showed her a smokey brown makeup and she was over the moon because smokey eye makeup was Cathy’s speciality! During the whole time of the appointment, it was not awkward at all because both Vivian and Cathy were super fun and easy to talk to :)
I normally don’t wear heavy makeup but Cathy did a fantastic job that I didn’t mind at all. She had the ability to make my face glow with just foundation and concealer which was amazing! I highly recommend anyone to go to Cathy and her sister if you are looking to get dolled up!
I already know I will contact Cathy in the near-​future to get my wedding makeup done because she’s THAT good.

Cathy did my hair and make-​up for my wedding on 9÷27÷15. She has an amazing personality and was very easy to work with! As most brides are very anxious leading up to the wedding day, Cathy assured me that she’d take care of everything and make sure I look my best. She accommodated with all my requests and readjusted immediately when I gave her my input on my trial make-​up & hair. I felt confident to trust her expertise.
She was early on the day of my wedding and came prepared with all the head pieces/​tiaras for me to choose. During the entire session, Cathy kept the conversation flowing with myself and my bridesmaids. I loved how she made the whole experience so relaxing and fun! It feels like we’ve already become good friends with the 3 times we’ve met each other! I can tell Cathy is very passionate about what she does because she’s always giving me advice/​tips and giving extensive explanations on what she’s doing. I’d highly recommend her for any hair & make-​up occasions! Thank you, Cathy!

Cathy was very accommodating and responsive — answering endless insane questions from the bride. She works magic and makes it look easy. Not only is she a genuinely nice person, she knows what she’s doing, is reassuring, and solves problems. I got many compliments for my hair & makeup that day (even by other makeup artists).
On the day of the wedding — Cathy went straight to business with hair and make up, and I was speechless! Make up was exactly like what I wanted — had enough to conceal everything necessary, but had the look of natural beauty to it. And my hair was amazing! I liked it even better than the pictures I showed her. It had a classic sculpted look — very elegant!
She truly made me into a lovely bride with beautiful, natural, and soft looking hair and makeup. I’m looking forward to do a post-​wedding photo shoot with Cathy in 2weeks. Oh, Cathy, if only you could do my makeup and hair every day!

Ahhhh I love Cathy! She is the sweetest person! I’m so glad I found her. I found her through Bings Design, who referred me to her since Bings Design was booked on the day of my wedding.
Cathy did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and she made me look stunning! She was kind enough to still book me, even though she had another wedding on the same day. She did my makeup and hair from about 7:30am-9:30am on my wedding day, the ceremony was at 2:00pm, the reception started at 7:00pm, my husband and I went to our hotel room at around 11:00pm, and my makeup and hair was still flawless at the end of the night! My makeup and hair also looked good in photos! Wow! And of course, the most important thing is that my husband thought I looked gorgeous on our wedding day. At the end of the night, he said, «You looked reaaaaally good.» Hehehee! Thank you, Cathy!

I LOVED how Cathy did my hair and makeup for my Chinese reception! She was very flexible and accommodating, especially considering I reached out to her only one week before the scheduled event. I’m always a bit apprehensive getting my hair and makeup done, since I hardly wear any makeup, but Cathy knew exactly what to do and made me feel comfortable right away. She is talented, friendly, and professional. I would definitely recommend her to other brides or those looking to get hair and makeup done for a special occasion.

I was having a hard time finding someone to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day and came across Cathy and Vivian on Unilocal.Unlike many others, they were quick to respond with information and set me up with a trial date. When I arrived for my trial, there was a girl before me finishing up and she had BEAUTIFUL hair and makeup, I knew I was in the right place! Cathy and Vivian are super fun, professional and friendly. Not only were they so pleasant to be around, Cathy did an AMAZING job on my hair and makeup. I was nervous for makeup because I normally don’t wear a lot, but Cathy reassured me, showed me what she was doing (and used the best products!) and made my makeup natural and flawless! She knew exactly what shades to use to compliment my skin tone. I LOVED my makeup! I equally loved my hair! Cathy did a beautiful low up do with curls and swooping bang. I got so many compliments after showing friends and family my hair. She is just naturally talented at hair and makeup and would do a great job on anyone. I have already recommended Makeup By Cathy to friends for their upcoming weddings. After such a successful trial, I am so excited for my wedding day!

Cathy is truly talented at what she does. Not only does she take her time to make sure you look flawless, but she even takes the time to get to know her clients while they are sitting in her chair! She’s really easy to work with and I love her business style; very detail oriented and organized. I have had my hair & makeup done by Cathy for many special occasions (mainly weddings) and I have never left disappointed. Highly recommended for any special occasion, whether it’s for a wedding, birthday, Prom, or even a special night out; Cathy will definitely work her magic!

This was my first time having someone to do hair and makeup. And it was for my pre– wedding photoshoot. I didn’t know a lot of H&M artists, so I just randomly made an appointment with Cathy when I saw her works through a friend’s fb page. And I was glad I made the right choice. She did an excellent job. Everyone has different styles, different facial features that Cathy will work with you to bring out the beauty in each and everyone. She listened to what I wanted and my desires were, she also gave me ideas.
She was very friendly, and had a warm and cozy studio that made me to feel welcomed. I highly recommend Cathy to all bride-​to-​be or maybe just looking for a place to get nice H&M done for any special events, Cathy is a place!

Cathy and her sister Vivian did my makeup and hair for my bridal party and I last weekend (1÷25÷14). My entire bridal party not only raved about how much they loved their hair and makeup but how sweet Cathy and Vivian are! Cathy’s motto is transforming «inner beauty to outer glow» and that is exactly what she did for me! Cathy did an outstanding job on my bridal hair and makeup!
I completed a bridal trial with her a few weeks before my wedding at her studio, and she listened to exactly what I wanted, as well as give me suggestions and beauty tips for my big day. She is really patient, sincere, and genuinely cares about her clients. She communicated with me every step of the way, and made sure that my needs were met.
On my wedding day, the Makeup By Cathy team were prompt and ready to start at the time I requested. Hair and makeup is such a big part of a bride’s wedding day, and I can honestly say that I was truly happy with their work! I highly recommend the Makeup By Cathy team!

I’ve been meaning to write a review for Cathy and I’m now getting around to writing it. Cathy knows how to do makeup and hair really well. Cathy and her sister, Vivian got me and bridesmaids all done up for my wedding last September and Cathy just did my hair and makeup for my sister’s wedding this past weekend. Cathy and Vivian do a phenomenal job and they listen to everything you want and don’t want. They make great suggestions and are so patient! I would highly recommend Makeup by Cathy to anyone.

WHAT!!! No reviews, how is that even possible!!! I am assuming everyone is trying to keep this gem a secret! If you are in need of getting dolled up for a special event, Make up by Cathy is the way to go! She has worked her magic with my makeup and hair twice for a friends wedding and both times I was absolutely head over heels in love with her work. I have gotten many compliments. Both Cathy and Vivian are very easy to work with. They are professional, friendly, sweet sisters who can transform you into a beautiful bride or stunning beauty for any special event. Highly recommended, wish I could have them do my makeup and hair everyday. :)

I had my wedding in May and I had a great experience with Cathy and her sister. They gave me a free trial a few months before my wedding, and they listened to what I wanted for my hair and makeup, and gave sincere suggestions to make my makeup perfect. They also accommodated my schedule on my wedding day. It took them 1 hour to drive to my house, but they were on time and efficient. They were also professions and friendly l throughout the time. I am definitely going to recommend them to my friends who are going to get married in the future!
