My name is Kate Hana Podwils, born and raised in Bend, Oregon since 1985. My husband Josh, who is a professional Chef, and I have been married since 2008 and we have two incredible kids Ruby and Corbin, an Australian Shepherd named Ranger Larry, and two cats named Lady and Calvin. I started my makeup career over 11 years ago as a MAC Cosmetics Makeup Artist. Learning makeup trends from beauty to dramatic, to editorial for all ages, races, and sexes. I’ve traveled for MAC industry events, taught makeup classes and led makeup events that were trend focused with makeup looks.

In 2019, I became a licensed aesthetician to add to my artistry skills so when I sit my clients down I’m able to not just create makeup looks, but to also pamper your skin with the proper skincare that is right for you!

My Partner in Glam for Weddings, Photoshoots, and Events, is Kelsey Garrison, K&Co (kandcobridal.com) ! We are your Elite Hair and Makeup Team! When you book us both you get Kelsey specializing specifically in Hair and you get me specializing specifically in Makeup, so you know your hair and makeup will be perfect! For us, we want to provide focused work on our specific artistry rather than someone doing both hair and makeup.

I’m a part of Central Oregon Wedding Association (COWA) here in Central, Oregon which is a fantastic organization that can help put together a dream team for your big event! COWA members celebrate and welcome couples of all races, nationalities, religions, sexual-orientations, gender-identities, and abilities. So if you’re looking for the perfect vendors head to their Instagram or Facebook to inquire!

When I’m not doing makeup for weddings, boudoirs with Babe City Studio, and photo/styled shoots I’m with my family going on adventures and simply just hanging out and enjoying each others’ company. I’m a girl that loves connection and to embrace all that life can give!
