Katy, is the best! She is extremely talented and professional. She managed the makeup and hair timeline for my wedding in Cambria California, this June 2018. She makes magic, to including making happy and calm a bridal party of 10 (plus the bride). My makeup was just perfect. But most importantly the 2 moms makeup was absolutely beautiful and lasted the entire party :) I had the opportunity to do a trial in March, and the luck to have Katy do my Rehearsal Dinner Makeup as well, and I can't thank her enough for her always trying to make me happy. It was a pleasure having her as my Makeup artist. Katy went the extra mile in every possible way to ensure all my girls were picture ready and feeling amazing. She is so sweet and we all adored her. I totally recommend her for your wedding or special event. Also the price was fair, that is always a plus ;) read more

UPDATE 8/18/2020 I have had the pleasure of booking Katy for 3 important occasions and each time she has been able to make my vision come true. She originally did my engagement shoot, then my wedding (taking care of my entire wedding party and making sure make up was age appropriate for my little sisters & niece) and just recently my maternity shoot. During my recent appointment she was considerate of my needs being pregnant and made sure things were sanitary and she followed protocols as needed. I will continue to use her for any make up services in the future. 2/22/19 This woman is an amazing artist! She really listens to what you would like for your special day. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out for my engagement shoot and look forward to working with her on the wedding day. She was very accommodating and is priced very well. She truly made me feel beautiful and like a princess. Thank you Katy for your service! read more

I booked Katy for hair and make up for my family photo shoot in Pismo Beach. She is so pleasant, professional and perfectionist in her craft. She arrived on time, gave me options to choose from and made me feel comfortable to choose my preference. She made sure that I was happy with my look. She is charming, honest and fun to talk to. I truly love her vibe! She uses high end make up products but charges very reasonable;cheaper compare to other vendors. Also, she does not charge for travel fee which is a major plus. Highly recommended! read more

I booked Katy for my wedding on May 12, 2018 in Paso Robles and she couldn't have done a better job. She did makeup for a total of 8 girls all by herself, and she truly didn't complain once or express she needed a break. Everything the bridesmaids wanted, Katy made sure to perform and give everyone what they wanted plus more. Every girl absolutely loved their makeup including myself as well as my mom. I can't thank Katy enough for giving me such a stress free day by performing at her absolute best. read more

Can't wait for her to do my wedding makeup in a few short months! read more

My husband and I got married in Cambria, CA on 9/15/18. I'm from Los Angeles and was so lucky to find Katy. I contacted her a month before my wedding fingers crossed that she would be available to do my makeup for my special day. Not only was Katy available, but her expertise in makeup was beyond expectation. She is a sweetheart and a true professional. Katy thank you soooooo much for being there for me on my special day!! read more

Katy is the most talented, skilled, creative, and professional makeup artist my girlfriend or I have ever seen. For our anniversary my girlfriend wanted to have her makeup done professionally. I made some calls and was able to get a hold of Katy right away. I explained the situation and asked if she could come to our house and do my girlfriends make-up before we went out. Katy didn't hesitate in saying yes, and was able to fit us in even though it was short notice. She only charged a small fee to cover her gas for travel, which was more than reasonable. Katy arrived about 5 minutes early, and called us letting us know when she was about 20 minutes away. My girlfriend gave Katy a picture of a couple different looks she liked, and Katy was able to execute the look perfectly. Honestly, we both thought she actually did a better job than what these celebrities' makeup artists had done. She also did eyelashes, which looked incredible... these were not those cheesy fake eyelashes. They were attached lash by lash and looked very natural. My girlfriend was so sad when they ended up coming off the following week. Katy estimated how long it would take for her to do the makeup and eyelashes, and actually finished a few minutes early. The end result was stunning. In the words of my girlfriend, she had never felt more beautiful. From the first call, to the finished job, Katy could not have been more professional. She was on time, did an amazing job, was incredibly friendly, and provided an amazing service. We have referred Couture Makeup to all of our friends including one of our friends who has an upcoming wedding. They have booked Katy for all 5 bridesmaids and bride. Thank you Katy for making my girlfriend feel so beautiful, and making our anniversary that much more special. read more

Katy was a no show for my wedding day; I booked her months in advance- even had a paid trial with her. I was beyond disappointed. She did get in touch with me during my wedding reception and told me she was in an accident while driving up from Los Angeles. My wedding was 3 hours north in Paso Robles. :(. read more

I've had my makeup done by Katy 3 times now!!! Because she's awesome! Katy did all the makeup at my sisters wedding a few years ago and did such a great job that I hired her for my wedding this past August. She is so good at what she does! She is so fun and gets along with everyone! She did 7 girls makeup at my wedding so we had our makeup on all day. It was SO hot and I was so afraid it was going to melt off right away but trust her when she says, it will last ALL night! I was so impressed how good we all looked even at the end of the night. :) I'm sure I will hire her again. I highly recommend her! Even just for a night out. read more

So this is an update to my earlier review. Katy did my makeup for my wedding last month and I never felt so beautiful, which is exactly how a bride should feel on her wedding day. She made my makeup look good not just in person, but in photos too. She is very easy to work with in the makeup chair and has the most amazing makeup kit I've ever seen. False eyelashes are a must. I'd never worn them before, and was a little nervous about them, but they were easy to put on and they really do add to the look in photos. Makes your eyes really pop. Mish Mucho was the other half of my beauty team that day (the two often work together) and with those two you can't go wrong! I did a television appearance a few months ago and Katy did my makeup for that too. I'm not sure how well I performed for the TV spot, but at least I know I looked good! read more

Katy Davis is amazing! First off, she is the sweetest person ever.....So easy to talk to and spend time with; after a few make up trials I felt like we were friends! So to start, I am extremely picky about my makeup...I'm such a perfectionist and had never had my makeup done before, typically I do it myself. When katy and I did our first trial she walked through every step, asking me what I liked and disliked, looking at different ideas and making small tweaks. What is so amazing is that she was so open to suggestions and any changes I wanted, she wasn't offended she simply wanted me to be the most happy I could be with my makeup. It took us two trials to get it perfect and I could not have been more happy!! On the day of, I could not have asked for more. I loved my makeup and it stayed on all night! And then there were all my 8 bridesmaids and my mom, which she did all of! Each person looked more beautiful from the next; the make up was flawless but not over the top. I couldn't have imagined all of the girls looking more beautiful, and my mom, wow, she looked amazing! One of my favorite parts is that Katy put individual lashes on everyone, which is such a nice professional touch! Thank you Katy for everything, I could not have asked for more and would recommend you to anyone!!! read more

Katy truly know her stuff. Makeup and hair is an art form and Katy is truly an artist! I had her do a makeup a few times and it always looks beautiful! She also helped me pick out some makeup that looks great for my eye-color and shape. I've never ever gotten complements on my makeup until now. Thanks Katy!! She is professional and sweet and helps you learn while she is putting on your makeup so I can try to re-create the same look at home. Although it never quite looks as good as how she does it... read more

Katy has restored my faith in makeup artists! Another "artist" did my makeup for my daughter's wedding last October and it looked so bad I had to take it all off and do it myself right before the photo session began so I was very hesitant to try again. All I can say is "Wow!" Katy made this 53 year old look really beautiful for her son's wedding last weekend. She listens to what you want and has an professional artist's eye for bringing out your best features. She did my daughters's makeup and the other bridesmaids as well - we all received so many compliments. Katy is very calm - absolutely no attitude - very down to earth. Also, she was very willing to do touch ups just before the photo session. I would hire Katy again in a heart beat! read more

Katy is amazing and just SUCH a sweetheart! I loved having my makeup done by her, and she did an amazing job. I was 1 of 6 bridesmaids. She did us all and we all looked fabulous and LOVED it. My friend, the bride, was by far the prettiest thing ever that day because her make up was ON POINT. Really it was, if you see pictures you'd fall in love too! Definitely hope to see this beauty again:) Thanks so much Katy! read more

Kate did fantastic makeup on both me and my husband for a Halloween party.The makeup was very professional in every way. The compliments we many and the makeup stayed on with out fail way past midnight. She will post the pics on her web site if you would like to take a look. Thank you so much as we enjoyed wearing our makeup faces with so much confidence. We would recommend her for any makeup job as she is very qualified. read more

I hired Katy for my wedding day. She did makeup on my 3 bridesmaids, my Mom, & myself. We all looked amazing & her makeup lasted ALL DAY & NIGHT! She has this wonderful way of making you feel like you look like yourself-only better! I also had multiple trials done before my wedding day (engagement party, bachelorette party, & engagement session). I looked forward to everytime I was able to get dolled up by her! She was happy to go over any concerns I had & she had wonderful input. She is so sweet & a ton of fun to work with!!! She has a magic touch & if you're looking for a fabulous makeup artist then look no further!!!! read more

Was referred to Katy by my hair stylist Mish Mucho to do my makeup for my maternity photoshoot and loved the finished product! Katy is the sweetest person and really listens to what you want. She is also a perfectionist and takes her time to ensure your makeup is done just right! Definitely highly recommended and will use her beautiful makeup talents for other upcoming events! :) read more

Katy is truly a master of her craft. I am extremely picky and usually don't love when other people do my makeup. I have known Katy for years now and she has done my makeup for nights out in Vegas, numerous weddings, my own wedding, and photo shoots. She somehow managed to do makeup on myself, my mother, mother in law, and 11 bridesmaids mostly on her own, when her assistant was no longer available at the last minute. My girls looked beautiful and Katy remained calm and professional. If you want your makeup done right Katy is your girl. She is also calm and patient and will listen to what you want and also bring photos she can re-create for you!:) My makeup has never looked better then when Katy works her magic! highly recommend you will not be disappointed! read more

Katy is simply fantastic!!! She is the sweetest, most talented makeup artist out there. I have had my makeup done by a lot of other artists and Katy is by far the best. My sister is having her do her makeup and all the bridesmaids makeup for her upcoming wedding in July. My sister never wears makeup and always feels uncomfortable in it, but Katy made her feel very relaxed and beautiful! She is a true gem. I highly recommend her! read more

Katy was great, made me feel very comfortable and confident. I highly recommend!

Katy Davis is AMAZING!!! She did all the makeup for my best friend's wedding and did an absolutely incredible job! She made us all look like models and the bride looked like an absolute ANGEL!!! She was so sweet and professional, and above all does impeccable makeup!! If and when I get married, Katy will be my absolute first choice, even if I need to fly her out to me! read more

Let me start off by saying that Katy is one of the nicest people I know. Katy did my makeup for my wedding! I had a makeup trial with a different makeup artist and I didn't feel like a bride I felt like I was made up to go to a club. My finance now husband recommend Katy. She is a good friend of his and now a friend of mine. I was very nervous but Katy made me feel so comfortable every step of the way. She made me look and feel like a bride. Katy paid close attention to what I was saying and went above and beyond. False eyelashes are a must. The way Katy did my makeup looked so pretty in person and stunning in my pictures. She knows her stuff! She explained to me how my makeup would stand out in my pictures and she was right. :) I got so many compliments and other girls were asking me who did my makeup. Thank you Katy for everything you did!!! You are amazing!! read more

Katy did the make-up for my bridal shower and wedding. She is an amazing person and does an amazing job. She did me, my 7 bridesmaids, and 3 mothers. It was a long day! I wish I could give her 5 stars but when it comes to the business side of her company she is disorganized. To this day I still have not gotten my countersigned contract back and my wedding was July 2014. Overall, Katy is amazing and I would hire her again in a heartbeat! read more

I had my makeup done by Katy for my wedding and she is fantastic. First was a trial so that both of us are on the same page. On the day of the wedding, she remembered the exact same thing we discussed and it was a breeze. She managed to do myself and 3 bridesmaids on a tight timeline and all of us looked perfect. She is very sweet as well. Highly recommended!!! read more

Pretty disappointed with Katy and her customer service. I cannot vouch for her makeup work as we never made it that far. The first time we talked she said she would discuss pricing with her hair girl and get back to me in a few days. 2 weeks later she says she's really booking up for my wedding month so I should book her asap. Umm, you're the one that took 2 weeks to get back to me, but okay. We finally set up a date to do a trial which I will admit I had to cancel, but in that same conversation I asked her to let me know her next available time and that I would work around her schedule since I had to cancel. She never got back to me. A week later I contact her again and she said sure how about next week, let me get back to you. "Next week" was about two weeks ago. I'm not going to hunt her down if she's clearly so busy she can't follow up with a prospective customer. Perhaps she's out of my price range and she's doing me a favor because I do distinctly remember her saying I needed a "reality check" for my makeup budget. read more

Katy is amazing! She did such a great job on my bridal makeup.I'm extremely picky about my makeup and Katy is a perfectionist. She understands how the smallest details can impact face symmetry. She also did makeup for all of my bridesmaids and Mother and each of them were very impressed! My Mother never gets her makeup done but she gave Katy a chance and loved the outcome. On top of Katy's great work, she offers very fair pricing! I plan to use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a fresh face for their big event or night out on the town! read more

If you want to look amazing on your wedding day, you NEED Katy! Not only was she so sweet, nice and down to earth but she did an amazing job on my makeup and all of my bridesmaids! I was having trouble finding someone who could do a natural look (sounds easy, right) and finally found Katy. She listened to me, spent so much time with me during my trial and most importantly made it look even BETTER on my wedding day! You will not be disappointed :) read more
