They made me feel so unbelievably confident on our big day!
My hair and makeup stayed all night! I was worried about my face getting too oily and the makeup not holding up and my hair getting frizzy but Fatima worked some magic and it looked perfect all night! During the whole process everyone was so great at communicating. During my trial I felt empowered to speak up and make sure that I was happy with how my hair and makeup turned out. I also got a spray tan with Cat before my wedding and I loved how it made my skin look and glow!

Definitely a fun hype girl who gets you feeling pretty on your special day!
Cat offers a spray tans for the bride, complimentary. It looked SO natural! My husband, my mom and I all got one. Her color for our skin tones matched beautifully and it made our skin look healthy for that wedding glow. From my trial to the wedding day, Cat was amazing. My bridal party, mother in law and mom looked incredible. My concealer, eyeshadow, lashes, bronzer— it all stayed on amazingly and did not budge even while sweating and dancing the night away.

Cat was absolutely amazing at her craft and making me feel the utmost beautiful during my wedding week! Not only did she provide me with a couple of spray tanning sessions with my makeup package, but she also offered it up to my bridesmaids! Very accommodating and prepared with everything needed from the trial to the day of. Listened to what I was hoping for in my wedding day look and NAILED it! So many compliments and the pictures came out great. I will definitely be buzzing her back for another event. I’ve found my go-to girl for my makeup!

I'm so excited for you! I'm Cat, Chicago bridal makeup artist, Owner/CEO of Feeling Pretty Inc, and your newest beauty BFF.
Helping people feel confident and beautiful brings me incredible joy, and it all started when I was drawn to makeup as a kid watching my mom get ready. As I grew up, I loved learning about new methods, colors, and techniques, and after years of working in corporate jobs, I decided that I should be doing something I really loved. I took a chance to work in the beauty retail space and learn everything I could about the industry.
Now, I do what I love every day with a full-service approach and a team of several talented artists from across the Chicago area. We can't wait to be your hype squad, bring your vision to life, and showcase your authentic beauty.
