Hello, I'm Katie.

 

Hi, I’m Katie, a professional makeup artist from Leeds with 8 years of experience and an accredited educator for the past 3 years. My true passion lies in helping others, both in my work and personal life, which is what I believe sets me apart as an educator. I love building meaningful relationships with my students and am dedicated to providing them with the best possible support throughout their learning journey.

My Story

 

My journey began at 16, during the whirlwind 2016 makeup era when contouring was everything, and Kylie Lip Kits were all the rage. Although I was always creative, I never excelled at traditional art, but makeup became my canvas. I spent countless hours practicing techniques on myself in my bedroom, which soon evolved into doing makeup for my friends on nights out. I stumbled upon a makeup course at Leeds City College, which was a turning point, as I was originally studying journalism. Coming from a working class background, the £600 kit and uniform fee seemed out of reach. But seeing my passion, my parents supported me, and I vividly remember promising them that I would make it work. Fast forward 8 years, and I’ve been self-employed full-time since I was 17. I’ve launched a cosmetic line, collaborated with incredible brands, been hired by one of my favorite companies for a campaign, built a community of nearly 50,000 followers, sold out masterclasses, completed thousands of makeup appointments, started a podcast and achieved financial milestones I never thought possible. When you work with me, you can trust that I’ll go above and beyond to make sure you feel confident and supported throughout your makeup journey.
