Kat Steinmetz is a professional makeup artist based in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Kat started her artistic journey at an early age by attending an arts-focused high school with a concentration in painting and photography and continued by pursuing a fine arts degree in college. Her academic background gives her a thorough understanding of color theory, light, and composition and a serious eye for detail. She’s also had a life-long obsession with fashion and a long career in modeling and understands what it takes to be both in front of and behind the camera. She’s a true professional and is easy to work with, adaptable and loves to collaborate and have fun.
In addition to makeup, Kat is also an award winning singer and part of the musical duo “Kepi and Kat”. She travels nationally and internationally for both makeup and music.

Testimonials:
“I work in the fashion, photography, and film industry. I have hired Kat Steinmetz as a makeup artist and stylist for multiple runway shows, fashion photo shoots, and as an expert stylist for an intensive pin-up model/photographer instructional Bootcamp. I have also hired Kat to do my own personal makeup for special events or just to feel fabulous. I could not be more pleased with her work. She has the winning combination of experience, talent, professionalism, and personality that makes me want to work with her on any style-focused project. And thankfully, she has a broad range of skills to fit every occasion.”
~Danielle Cohen, Missing Piece, LLC (Founder), Zivity, LLC (Artist Relations)
“Kat was an absolute joy to work with. She quickly understood our desired look and executed it with artistry and skill. Most importantly, she understood our timeline and was able to get the job done while being a pleasure to be around.”
~Benjamin Levy, Artistic Director, Levy Dance Company
“Kat Steinmetz is an absolute gem to work with. She not only helps my photography clients look their best, she also keeps me calm, knowing I’ve hired a total professional who takes her job seriously, yet helps everyone have fun! I’ve hired her for a number of corporate advertising shoots, and I’m always pleased with the realistic, gorgeous results. The shoots we’ve worked on involve real people (not models), and she goes out of her way to make them feel comfortable and look great. She is my favorite makeup artist, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
~Patty Nason, Gava Photo
Please email me for my availability and rates - they are very reasonable.
I DO NOT WORK FOR FREE...This is my career (not a hobby), so please only message me if you are serious about booking me for a shoot. I will consider a lower rate of just a kit and travel fee if the project/shoot is really exciting to me. THANK YOU!!
