Born and raised in the Algarve, Catarina developed a passion for the arts from a young age, often playing with her aunt’s makeup kit.

With over 7 years of experience as a professional makeup artist, she has explored a diverse range of disciplines within the makeup industry, working across beauty, editorial, film, series, music videos, character makeup and artistic makeup, including body painting. Her journey has also led her to expand her creative practice into nail artistry.

Today, her main focus is working closely with brides from all over the world, creating bespoke looks that make them feel confident, beautiful and entirely themselves.
