Quick Facts
AKA : Tay
Language : English
Beauty Background : I’ve been in the industry for 20 years! I started working in salons and department stores at cosmetic counters before makeup was “cool”. I started at MAC Cosmetics in 2008, where I worked with brilliant trainers/artists from whom I gained great knowledge. I went on to become the Field Sales and Education Executive for the Mid-Atlantic for Anastasia Beverly Hills, and an now in a lateral role for Charlotte Tilbury. Freelancing has always been my creative outlet, and nothing gives me more joy & satisfaction than prepping someone for their special day. Whether it’s a wedding or any other occasion, I love making each person in my chair feel amazing. I want them walking away looking like themselves & feeling confident, beautiful and empowered!
Highlight of my career : I would say the highlight of my career is that I’m able to be apart of so many peoples most important moments of their lives! I love seeing everything come together and giving a memorable experience.
Current favorite bridal trends : Fluffy brows, hydrated glowing skin, flirty lashes, intensified neutral colors.
Top three products/tools I can’t live without : Brow product, eyeliner, and lashes!
Guilty pleasures : I’m obsessed with my 6 year old son! I love being a mommy. I also love binge watching every Real housewife franchise...

Tay did both me and my wife's makeup for our wedding. Not only was she early, but the spirit that came with her was so peaceful. She literally kept a smile on my face the entire time. Honestly, she was more than a makeup artist that day she was my peace, and her creativity and professionalism is unmatched.
“Tay was more than a makeup artist that day; she was my peace.”

She is ALWAYS on time, always prepared and always pleasant. She is also very fun and keeps everyone comfortable and relaxed while they are being serviced. You’ll feel like you're having your makeup done by one of your good girlfriends, but when she finishes, you’ll be runway ready.
“Kiaté is the consummate professional.”
