MuaKate
I’m Kate, an Amsterdam-based makeup artist and hairstylist working across Europe. For more than 15 years, I’ve created beauty looks for weddings, editorial shoots, campaigns and special events — always tailored to the person, the occasion and the way it will be remembered.
My perspective was shaped in front of the camera as well as behind it. Having worked as a model, I understand how makeup and hair come together both in person and on camera. Before becoming a full-time stylist, I earned two university degrees and taught English at the Institute of Physics and Technology — experiences that continue to inform the thoughtful, precise approach I bring to my work.
Since moving to Amsterdam in 2021, I’ve built both a home and a creative practice here. Over the years, I’ve created and run four studios in the city. My work has brought me to projects with Sam McKnight and behind the scenes of Dua Lipa’s Amsterdam show. I’m also a Kevin Murphy ambassador in the Netherlands. I was named Top Dutch Beauty Influencer in 2025 and 2026.
I also create camera-ready looks for conference speakers and business leaders. My clients have included Michele Romanow of Canada’s Dragons’ Den, Spotify managers and American Express executives.
My work also include photo shoots for Louis Vuitton and De Bijenkorf, projects for brands such as Max Mara, Moschino, Citroën, Renault, Jaguar, Bosco and Acuvue, and features in publications including Cosmopolitan, L’Officiel and Maxim.
For every client, I select luxury makeup and hair styling products to suit the look, the occasion and individual needs. Your comfort and safety matter just as much as the final result. You can feel confident that my tools are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between clients.
Whether I’m preparing a bride for her wedding day or creating a look for a shoot, I believe beauty should feel personal: considered, effortless and unmistakably yours.
