About Kate

Artistry Rooted in
Precision & Care

I'm Kate (Ecaterina) — a semi-permanent makeup artist with over 7 years of specialist experience. My practice is built on one belief: every client deserves results tailored to their individual skin tone, texture, and vision of beauty.

Using a cosmetic tattoo machine and water-based inks, I specialise in treatments that go beyond aesthetics — from lip symmetry enhancement to corrective work for dark or uneven pigmentation. I have worked with thousands of clients across London, delivering results that feel genuinely natural and confidence-giving.
