Kate Kats Makeup Artist
About Me
I’m Kate, a professional makeup and hair artist based in Los Angeles with over a decade of experience working internationally across the beauty and fashion industries. I work in Hollywood on events ranging from the Oscars and Emmy Awards to fashion events, film premieres, and both large-scale and intimate industry gatherings.

My work focuses on creating polished, long-lasting makeup and hair looks designed for high-pressure environments — from red carpets to private events — ensuring clients feel confident, composed, and camera-ready wherever the spotlight appears.

A selection of recent work from red carpets, galas, and fashion events. Each look is adapted to the setting, lighting, and pace of the day — created to hold up on camera while still feeling comfortable and natural in real life.
My Approach to Event & Red Carpet Makeup
Event and red carpet makeup needs to perform under real conditions — long schedules, changing lighting, press coverage, and constant movement. My approach is focused on preparation and balance: understanding the event context, the wardrobe, and how hair and makeup will translate both on camera and in person throughout the day or evening.

For red carpet appearances, fashion events, and private industry gatherings, I create polished, long-lasting hair and makeup designed to hold under flash photography and video while still feeling comfortable and natural. Each look begins with a brief consultation to align on the overall aesthetic, ensuring the final result feels intentional, appropriate to the occasion, and reliable when it matters most.
