About Kate
Kate Kats
Kate has spent 15+ years in fashion and beauty across Europe, Asia and the US: on campaign sets, backstage at fashion weeks, on red carpets, and as head of the beauty department at a fashion magazine. She worked in New York before making Los Angeles her base.
Clients and crews know her for a calm, warm presence on the busiest days, and for one belief: your makeup should never wear you, it should reflect you. She brings the same craft to a small number of weddings each season and to private lessons.
