I am Cathryn Kerwin-Rawlinson and I have been a professional wedding Makeup Artist for 16 years and I cover North West England and North Wales.

Business taxes
Marketing costs like running a website for you to find me
An extensive kit full of multiple palettes in varying colours as well as foundations in every conceivable shade and in different formulations
Ongoing training so that I keep on top of the latest techniques and styles
Petrol and wear and tear on my vehicle
The endless hours where I am replying to your emails about the day
