Welcome
I’m Katli Ratshidi, a freelance makeup artist based in Potchefstroom, North West. I’ve been working in the beauty industry for several years, creating looks that feel beautiful, refined, and true to each client’s personality. From soft glam to full statement looks, my goal is always the same: to help you feel confident the moment you sit in my chair.
About Me
My love for makeup started long before it became my profession. What began as curiosity grew into a real passion after spending time learning from makeup transformation videos and developing my skills through training and hands-on experience. Today, I get to do what I love every day—helping clients look and feel amazing for the moments that matter most.
A passionate makeup artist with years of experience in enhancing natural beauty and creating unforgettable looks.
About Katlego Ratshidi
I’m a freelance professional makeup artist based in Potchefstroom, with years of experience working with a wide range of faces, skin tones, and styles. My work is all about enhancing natural beauty while creating a look that feels personal, polished, and memorable.
My makeup journey started years ago with a simple love for beauty and self-expression. Over time, that interest grew into a serious passion, inspired by transformation videos, constant practice, and formal training. What began as fascination quickly became a career I truly love. Every appointment gives me the chance to create something beautiful and help someone feel more confident in their own skin.

What I do
Our Services
Makeup is more than applying products—it’s about creating an experience that leaves you feeling confident, seen, and beautiful. I offer a range of services tailored to weddings, events, shoots, and personal beauty needs, with each look carefully designed to suit the client and occasion.
Graduation is a proud and memorable milestone, and your makeup should make you feel just as special on the day. Whether you’re walking across the stage, taking family photos, or celebrating afterwards, I create polished, long-lasting looks that help you feel confident and camera-ready.
From soft, elegant glam to a more defined finish, your look will be tailored to suit your features, outfit, and personal style. My focus is always on enhancing your natural beauty while making sure your makeup feels comfortable and photographs beautifully.
I understand how important this occasion is, which is why I take care to create a look that feels fresh, radiant, and suitable for both the ceremony and the celebrations that follow. Whether you want something simple and refined or a fuller glam look, I’ll make sure you leave feeling confident and beautiful.
Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful moments of your life, and your makeup should reflect just how special it is. Whether you’re drawn to a soft, natural finish or a more glamorous bridal look, I work with you to create makeup that feels beautiful, timeless, and true to you.
I understand that wedding mornings can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time, which is why I aim to bring a calm, professional presence to the experience. My role is not only to make you look beautiful, but also to help you feel relaxed, cared for, and confident as you get ready.
I offer both in-studio and on-site bridal makeup services, and I can accommodate bridal parties as well. If needed for larger groups, an additional trained artist can assist to make sure everything runs smoothly and on time.
The photos from your wedding day will stay with you forever, so your makeup should look just as stunning in person as it does on camera. My goal is to create a look you’ll still love every time you look back at those memories.
Pre-wedding trial
A bridal trial gives us the chance to plan your final wedding look in advance and make sure every detail feels right. During this session, we’ll talk through your wedding style, your preferences, your skin needs, and the kind of makeup that will make you feel most like yourself on the day.
You’re welcome to bring inspiration photos so we can explore ideas together and shape a look that feels elegant, flattering, and timeless. I believe bridal makeup should enhance who you are—not make you feel like someone else—so we’ll create something that reflects your features and your comfort level.
Once we’ve finalised the look, I keep a record of the products, shades, and techniques used so it can be recreated smoothly on your wedding day. Trials are typically recommended around 6 to 8 weeks before the wedding.
You don’t need to wait for a huge occasion to treat yourself to beautiful makeup. Whether you’re going out for dinner, celebrating with friends, attending a formal event, or preparing for a shoot, I can create a look that makes you feel confident and polished.
If you’re planning a portrait session or another camera-focused occasion, I can also help you choose a makeup style that complements both your features and the setting. And if you’re simply trying to understand which colours, products, and techniques work best for you, I’m happy to guide you through that too.
I’m available for a wide variety of professional and creative makeup projects, from private events to productions and on-camera work. Whether you’re preparing for a live appearance, commercial shoot, film project, or branded content, I can create a look that suits the tone and demands of the occasion.
With experience across different makeup styles and settings, I can adapt each application to meet the needs of the client, the brief, and the environment. From clean elegance to more dramatic or specialised looks, I approach every project with creativity, detail, and professionalism.
If your project requires something more artistic or tailored for screen, I can also assist with beauty-focused looks and selected special-effects-inspired styling where needed.
