Katharina was born in Brandenburg on the river Havel and knew from early on that she wanted to become a make-up artist. The first step to this goal was her three year’s training as a make-up artist at the Hasso von Hugo School, where she acquired her diploma. After this, she gained experience in TV at grundy UFA.

Her great interest is fashion, beauty and photography. She practices her profession with enthusiasm and passion.

“For me, my work is first of all about highlighting natural beauty”, says Katharina.

Favorite drink?

Your Motto:

No rain, no flowers.

Who would you like to give a make-over to?

Hmm, honestly anyone who just wears too much make-up and doesn't need it. It tingles in my hands.

What was the best tip you ever got?

As for the job, to sit down while working. Somehow that was never an option for me before, but a colleague with a lot of experience and who has been in the business for a long time advised me to do so. I can work most effectively this easily, you are at eye level and build a connection, plus your back is happy. I'm really grateful for this tip!

Who inspires you today?

Friends, colleagues and above all nature with all its colors and structures.
