Quick Facts: Kate is a proud mom to an amazing pre-teen who is obsessed with theatre and gymnastics. Kate has lived all over the U.S., including Washington D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, and Hawaii, but is thrilled to now call Maryland home! However, she’ll never be satisfied until she finds the World’s Darkest Chocolate.

Beauty Background: Kate has been in the beauty industry for over 20 years, working for celebrity clients like Paris Hilton and Blink 182, as well as corporate clients such as Hawaiian Airlines and Victoria’s Secret PINK. She’s proud to have begun her beauty journey in D.C. (you really can come home again!), where there’s a melting pot of complexions; because of this, she’s been able to master any skin type while simultaneously perfecting the “no makeup makeup” look of Hawaii. She considers it an honor to be one of the Preferred Vendors for Oahu’s famous Kualoa Ranch.

Fav Makeup Product: As someone who is skincare/complexion obsessed, my favorite makeup product is the Sunday Riley Good Genes serum and Dior Backstage foundation.  The foundation line has enough shades to perfectly match any complexion and the formula can be manipulated into sheer to medium coverage!

Fav Hair Product: Amika Dry Shampoo!

Favorite Beauty Hack: LASH PRIMER!!! It makes a huge difference in the volume and length of your natural lash.  My current favorite Lash combo is the Tarte Lash Prime + MILK Kush Mascara

From the Artist: "Being a beauty artist is one of the most intimate positions we take on.  It is extremely personal to let someone else dictate your look!  By collaborating with my clients, I absolutely love empowering someone to feel like the best version of themselves.  My personal ethos is "Confidence not Vanity"
