"A huge thank you to Katie for an amazing 3 day course. I'm so glad that I chose Katie to help develop and regain confidence. Katie was incredibly friendly and down-to-earth, guiding me step by step through so many new techniques. Katie was always so clear with the makeup application and mentored me throughout the three days. Katie also sent me a comprehensive list of all the products we used and a checklist on what progress I should make during the first month. I would highly recommend her to anyone starting their makeup journey or looking to refresh their skills. Katie's detailed feedback and extensive product knowledge were invaluable."

I did a 4 day accredited course with Katie in July. She literally changed my life for the better! The immense confidence I grew whilst developing my skills with her is insane! She is the easiest person to talk to, I was so nervous about the course before starting due to anxiety but she made me feel like we had been best friends for years. I learnt everything from techniques, tips and tricks, to social media and PR. She turned my hobby into a career and kept the passion burning more than ever. I look forward to seeing her every single time for a catch up. She’s so attentive to each student, she sends you messages to check in and motivate you even after completion of the course. It was the best decision I made and can’t recommend it enough. If you’re a professional MUA wanting to broaden your skills, a beginner wanting to learn about techniques or a complete newbie to makeup wanting to learn your own face, Katie Forrest is for you!

I came to Katie for a 3 day 1:1 accredited course in the hopes to learn some new techniques and advice on how to build my business. From the off she was incredibly friendly and professional helping me step by step with each look with patience and detail. Katie didn’t stop there though she has also provided on going social media support, a lovely goodie bag ,advice on prices and so much more. Before this course my confidence in makeup was on the floor, thank you Katie for helping me see my potential and picking me back up just when I needed it the most. A true angel ❤️❤️❤️

"I trained with Katie back in October and I can’t recommend her enough! My diary has been fully booked every weekend since! Such a nice girl, was a pleasure to work and train with her so much that I would 100% do it again!!"

"Being a beginner with make up, I found it very daunting with so many products on the market and contradicting advice on social media, I had tried local make up artist but nothing seemed to work or suit me.
After coming across Katie on instagram, I decided to travel 2 and a half hours and it was truly the best. Katie is so professional, kept it so simple and clear with all the products and techniques. I came away feeling so positive and confident that I could do my own make up in the future. Katie has a wealth of knowledge creating a fun and relaxing atmosphere to learn in. I cannot wait to return!"
Bethany Twigg
"One of the best makeup artists in the game! I have been to two of Katies 1 - 2 - 1 lessons and one of her master classes & I loved every minute of them. She is so kind, thorough when teaching, professional & your very own cheer leader, constantly reassuring you throughout the 1-2-1 lesson. I cannot recommend Katie enough"
