Bio:
Atlanta based freelance makeup artist, Kat Flynt is best known for her clean makeup applications that enhance the natural beauty. With a clientele that spans the eastern United States from Atlanta to New York, her body of work – which includes commercials, video productions, print advertising, catalogues, and fashion editorials – exemplifies her ability to enhance the natural beauty of the face as well as creating flawless, modern looks specifically for each project or special occasion.
Kat first got her start applying makeup for an Atlanta area studio's glamour shoots in 1993. From there she began receiving requests to do bridal makeup and entire wedding parties. In 2002, after nine years of successfully proving her natural talent and self taught skills, she chose to continue her education and become a licensed Esthetician (Skin Care Specialist). Kat continued to pursue her education over the next few years during which time she also served on the freelance teams for Chanel, MAC and Bobbi Brown.
In 2004, Kat refocused her makeup career, turning more towards fashion editorials, print advertising and television commercials. Highly skilled at clean, fresh, modern makeup application (both traditional and airbrushed), she also brings to every job an aptitude for organization, creativity, and a positive attitude. Kat has proven over and again her unique ability to work with all personality types even in the largest groups and proves to be an asset on any type of assignment.
