“I had the absolute pleasure of working with this incredible makeup artist for my destination wedding in Cancún, and I can’t recommend her enough! From the very beginning, Katy’s communication was outstanding—she was quick to respond, attentive to every detail, and so easy to work with. She was more than patient when I added a few more people to the Bridal party. I chose a package that included wedding day makeup, Hair and a trial! I also did Hair and Makeup for all the Bridesmaids and Mother of the Bride.
She and her team were not only punctual and prepared, but they treated everyone in my wedding party with such kindness and respect. During my trial, I made a few changes, and she listened closely, adjusting everything to make sure I felt confident and radiant. On the big day, she captured the exact vibe I was going for and made me feel absolutely beautiful and like myself but elevated! My hair and makeup held up all night long! My makeup still looked refreshed without ever touching it up. I was very impressed with the whole experience— made my wedding day extra special.
Her warm, professional presence made the whole experience stress-free! I hired Katty as an outside vendor and It was so so worth it! Thank you Katty! You are amazing!.”

I had the absolute best experience with katty! She did my wedding makeup, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. I showed her two different pictures with looks I loved, and she managed to take all the best parts of both and create something beautiful! My makeup lasted all day, photographed beautifully, and made me feel so amazing on my wedding day! She was professional, kind, and really listened to what I wanted. I can’t recommend her enough for any bride-to-be!

Katy and her team are amazing!!! I utilized their services for my engagement shoot in 2023 and my big day (my wedding) in 2024!! Being from Louisiana, we had to coordinate everything via what’s app and they made it a smooth process. Both times they were patient , nice and provided great customer service. Not being a make up girly, she listened to my concerns and understood my every need!! She really made me feel beautiful on both occasions and I still looked beautiful. For my engagement shoot I went for a more natural look as for my wedding I went for a more bridal glam look and both looks were flawless!! Thank you again!! Definitely will go back if I’m in the area!

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day in Tulum. From the moment we connected, she made me feel seen, heard, and completely at ease. Her energy was calm and grounding—which is exactly what I needed on such an emotional and fast-paced day.
She created the most flawless, glowy glam that felt like me, just elevated. My makeup lasted all night through the heat, dancing, and (happy) tears—and I genuinely felt so beautiful every second.
Not to mention I have become good friends with her and as makeup artist myself she is beyond talented .

Katty and her assistant Monse are the DREAM TEAM!! They traveled to the hotel for both the trial and day of the wedding. Katty did mine, my mom’s, mother-in-law’s and maid of honors makeup. Monse did the other girls makeup :) Weather in Mexico can be very unpredictable. Usually sunny and always some kind of humidity which makes it a bit more difficult for makeup to stay. On the day of the trial Katty asked my vision, I explained and she executed it EXACTLY as I had asked. She recommended I wear my makeup in the sun to see how it wore throughout the day as well as how it looked in different lighting. I am so happy she mentioned that because I had realized I didn’t love the color of my lipstick as much as I did in hotel lighting. She asked me to make notes so that she could adjust on the day of the wedding. On the morning of the wedding Katty and Monse were on time and in the best mood! They were calm which helped with all the excited nerves I was feeling. I let Katty know that I wanted a bit more of a pinky lip and she of course found the perfect shade! My makeup lasted from 11am until well after the wedding was over at about 8pm with me only needing some lip and powder touch ups (which she supplied me with!)
Monse also asked exactly what each girl wanted to ensure they felt their most beautiful.
Usually for wedding makeup someone has one complaint or another, but every single girl who got their makeup done loved it and was so happy it lasted through humidity, dancing and even a little rain sprinkle.
Thank you Katty and Monse for making me feel like a model and ensuring everyone felt their best. We appreciate you so much!!

I found Beauty By Katty on Instagram about a year and a half ago and loved her work. I hired her to do my makeup for my wedding in May 2025 and we mostly communicated through email until the day got closer. Katty was very professional, quick to respond, and everything felt very easy.
I chose the bridal hair and makeup bundle with trial and she selected a hairstylist she trusted based on the style I was hoping for. I did the hair and makeup trial just before my rehearsal dinner, and loved my makeup so much I didn’t have any requested changes for the wedding day.
My request was to look like a more glam version of myself and Katty did just that! My husband said he loved it, the makeup lasted really well all night, and I felt so beautiful. Unfortunately, the glam wave hair style I had envisioned for my wedding day wasn’t the best for how straight my natural hair is and it died with the humidity but the stylist, Michelle, recommended some other options that would hold better for the wedding day. She told me from the beginning my hair might not hold and I appreciated her honesty and still wanted to test it out for the rehearsal dinner (for science purposes lol).
On the wedding day, Katty arrived early to the bridal suite with a team of another makeup artist and 2 hair stylists. She brought 3 people so my girls and I wouldn’t need to start the day super early which was definitely appreciated. They kept us all on the schedule we planned for the day and everyone was ready to go before 3pm just before the photographer arrived. Everyone loved their hair and makeup! My makeup lasted from 2pm to whenever I ended up taking it off..maybe around 3am? This was after a first look where I cried the whole time, a ceremony in the heat (I’m a sweaty person so I was worried about this), photos around the resort, the reception with dancing, after party with more dancing, and I wish I could have Katty glam me for every event I have in the future! She is amazing at her craft and 100% worth every penny I paid to bring her on site instead of using the hair and makeup option provided at the resort.
We did a different half up/ half down style for my hair on the wedding day which held better and also felt better to get some of my hair out of my face! Overall, it was an amazing experience with Beauty By Katty and the team she selected to assist her and I would recommend to anyone hoping to look and feel their best for a special event.
