I've been obsessed with makeup for as long as I can remember. Not just the products or the techniques, but the moment a client looks in the mirror and sees themselves differently. That moment never gets old.

With over 20 years of experience as a professional makeup artist, l've built a career around one simple belief: that whether I'm behind the brush or behind your brand, my purpose is the same. To help you show up as the most authentic, elevated version of yourself.

No matter the occasion, every look I create is thoughtful, personalized, and tailored to your unique features and style.

In 2020 I co-founded Alchemy Beauty Academy and served as Lead Makeup Instructor until 2024, because teaching this craft is just as much a passion as practicing it. I love helping artists find their footing, develop their eye, and build careers they're proud of.

And somewhere along the way, my love for storytelling and strategy led me to social media management, helping fellow creatives and business owners show up online with intention, consistency, and a look that's undeniably them.

When you work with me, you're not just booking a service. You're getting someone who's genuinely invested in making you look and feel your absolute best, whatever that means for you.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT

”There really are no words to describe how incredibly talented Kimm is. In addition to making sure you look absolutely stunning, Kimm is thoughtful and has the kindest soul. She is professional, responsive, and simply a wonderful human being. After initially connecting with Kimm, looking at her portfolio, and discussing my vision - I had no doubts (and zero worries!) that everything would be perfect. And perfect it was.”

Kimm DiCato is an amazing teacher! Not only does she share her unbelievable amount of knowledge, but her delivery is fantastic. She is full of energy, practical experiences and has a wonderful way of giving constructive suggestions without making you feel intimidated or insecure. The information covered in the mentorship was beyond useful for both the seasoned artist and the novice.
