About me

Hi, I’m Catia a Portuguese Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist based in Surrey, working across London, Surrey, and selected areas of Kent and West Sussex.

After moving to London six years ago, I trained professionally at the Academy of Freelance Makeup and expanded my skills with certifications in Spray Tanning (Sienna X), LVL Lashes, and HD Brows. I work confidently with all hair textures and skin colours, bringing versatility and precision to every client.

My career includes working with brands, productions, and public figures such as Annie Lennox, Anna Lapwood, Cecilia Vega, Andrea McLean, and more. I currently work as a mobile artist and as a Freelance Senior Hair Stylist at ASOS Studios, alongside weddings, events, London Fashion Week, and editorial shoots. A recent highlight was working with CBS and meeting Kate Winslet.

I’m passionate about enhancing natural beauty through artistry, technique, and a personalised approach.

    a rather unfortunate encounter with a previous makeup artist. As someone who typically abstains from makeup, it was of utmost importance to me that Catia provided the meticulous attention and dedication required to grasp my preferences and dislikes. She took the time on the day of the appointment to thoroughly understand my preferences, consistently involving me at each stage of the makeup process, and ensuring my comfort throughout. This level of professionalism and commitment greatly resonated with me.
