Katy Short - Makeup Magic

Share

Your excitable vegan makeup artist & lash technician, available for weddings, events & bespoke lessons throughout Devon & Cornwall.

Katy is a media makeup artist working over Cornwall and Devon as well as parts of Somerset, and specialises in natural and uplifting bridal makeup. She completed a bachelors degree in media makeup at Somerset College of Arts and Technology, where she became fascinated by the power makeup has to both subtly enhance the clients natural beauty, or completely transform and reconstruct (for the more theatrical special effects). Over the past ten years Katy has grown her skillset and client base, diversifying her professional portfolio to meet the demands of both private clients and commercial businesses, including Drake Circus, South West Photo & Film and Mint London. Katy loves looking after those around her, and this translates into her business tools too. Her business has always been run with a cruelty free mindset, and she is conscious in making sure the products and tools she uses are not only vegan, but also good for her clients skin too. She uses botanically based products to provide makeovers which benefit your skin rather than just covering-up imperfections, and she can also tailor a pre-wedding skincare routine to ensure her clients are looking and feeling their very best on their day.

I’m absolutely so excited to share I’ve gotten through to the finals of the South West Wedding Awards for the 3rd year running!
I love what I do so so much, getting to spend such a special morning with so many gorgeous people inside and out. I couldn’t have gotten this far without my brides so thank you so much for inviting me to look after you, including me in your celebrations, voting for me, all the kind words and encouragement ✨

The calm before the day begins ☀️ Bridal mornings are full of laughter, nerves, makeup and hair, and little pockets of calm before the busy day starts. I loved this picture sent over by Jen of her and her bridal party all excited in the car.

I finished lash training right before COVID hit, so finally being able to build my client base after lockdown was a delight 😅
