    Katherine and her team did an AMAZING job at my wedding a couple weeks ago. Before I found Katherine and Event Cosmetics, I looked on yelp to find a make up artist. I booked trials with three of the most popular in Portland, spent a lot of time, and hundreds of dollars doing the make up trials and I had mediocre to very bad experiences with them. None of the make up looked good on me (some were worse than others), one make up artist forgot our appointment, and then another overcharged me on the trial fee and then over-quoted on the wedding fees. As a bride, we want to look amazing on our big day and we also want to know we can TRUST our vendors. The experiences I had with the other vendors did not inspire any confidence at all. My luck changed when another of my wedding vendors recommended Event Cosmetics to me. First, the trial fee is a very low/ fair price! And they can do this because once you have a trial with Katherine, you will book her immediately! Other make up artists charge a high trial fee or they they tell you a % of the trial fee will go towards the wedding fee (I think they do this so you feel invested and settle with using them even if you are not 100% happy with their work). But I refused to fall for this marketing strategy, treated those trials as sunk costs, and kept searching for a make up artist that I would be 100% happy with. I refused to settle for anything less than perfect for my big day. I loved the way katherine did my make up and booked her immediately. Not only is Katherine an amazing make up artist, she is also SUPER nice a genuinely nice and caring person. Katherine and her team are also really organized and gave fair quotes for the wedding day.. A month later, I also hired Katherine to do my engagement photoshoot make up. Once again, she made me look sooooo pretty! Katherine is really organized and thoughtful about her work. She prints out pictures of your dress (for make up inspiration), takes notes of the make up she used and will use on you, takes photos of you to see how the make up will photograph and it helps her decide if she needs to make any make up changes. If you are changing dresses at the wedding, she will also help you change up the look for the other dress(s)! :) But the most impressive thing about Katherine....4 days before my wedding, she pleasantly surprised me with a phone call to see how I was feeling. It's a good thing that she called because I was stressing out a bit because a day before, i had a bad facial (i still had a lot of blackheads) and my eyebrow waxing looked messy. Katherine told me to come see her the next day and she'd check it all out. Katherine gave me a mini facial to clear and moisturize my skin, and she cleaned up my brows. I looked so much better! I was so impressed that I took my mom to see Katherine two days before the wedding for a mini facial and eyebrow shaping as well. On the wedding day, Katherine and her team made my diverse bridal party all look AMAZING! This is the diversity Katherine and her team had to work with: Asian Bride Asian Bride's sister Older Asian Mom (one who never wears make up or even moisturizes her skin) Older White Mom 4 White Women 3 White Flower Girls 1 Black Flower Girl And they made ALL of us look AMAZING!!! I have never seen any of us look better. haha But the best part....ok...rewind a little bit. At the trial, I was sooooo happy with my make up...but Katherine told me, "Wait till your wedding day. I always save a little extra for the wedding day. You'll look even prettier". I don't know how I could look prettier...but she was right! On my wedding day, Katherine made me look even BETTER than I could ever imagine! She uses make up in a way to make you look your best version of YOU by highlighting your best features. I felt so pretty and comfortable in my skin on my wedding day. The make up also held up allll day! I didn't have any bridesmaids but Katherine stepped in and helped me with my dress, and she even helped walk me (and held my dress) to meet my groom for our "first look" photos. Katherine really went above and beyond. I am truly grateful for her. :) Katherine even powdered the groom to make sure he skin wouldn't look shiny in the photos. I also got the premium package and I'm so glad I did. One of her assistants stayed with me through all the portrait sessions to retouch my make up and she stayed until my dress change to help me with my "second look". Her name was Jeannette, and she was great! But I was her last Oregon wedding as she is moving to Southern California. My friends all gushed at how beautiful I looked all day. We just got our photos back yesterday and even more people gushed at how great I looked! :D Bottom line: Book a trial with Event Cosmetics and you won't regret it. Don't waste your money with any of the other make up artists. I tried almost all of them...and none of them could even compare to Event Cosmetics!
