about me.

Kate Asok - Południewska
Hair & Makeup Artist / Stylist / Photographer

​

​

I am a freelance, certified, pro makeup artist/stylist based in Gdansk, Poland. Like a true makeup addict, my interest in makeup artistry began long before my career in makeup did. First I took up the intensive course in Make-up and decided to continue and enroll in a 1 year diploma Makeup and Stylization  course which I successfully finished in Beauty Art - Szkoły wizażu Beaty Małachowskiej, a well-known and one of the most reputable beauty and make-up schools in Gdansk and in the entire Poland with accredited work in the film, tv, modeling, photography and bridal industries.

I worked with experienced and great photographers and models in the Tricity (Trojmiasto) and in other parts of Poland. And I also won at last year’s Uroda 2015 Targi Kosmetyczne i Fryzjerskie ( Neon Beauty Make-up Competition) held last October 3, 2015 at the Amber Expo Gdansk, Poland. Call it my lucky moment, first time to join such competition and I won the First Place. I also participated in one of the Fashion shows on September 2016 at the Paris Fashion Week in Paris (Fashion Extreme Paris 2016). I get to be the main Makeup artist of the award winning Polish Fashion Designer Elżbieta Fedor, three times in a row and recently with Magdalena Matuszewska, for their fashion shows in Warsaw and Łodz, Poland. . And one of my greatest achievement lately is when I did the makeup of Solange Knowles for her Opener Festival 2017 Performance held at Gdynia, Poland. 

I have a passion for makeup and find great satisfaction in helping women develop their skills of makeup application so when they discover how to achieve this they feel uplifted and filled with confidence. I strongly believe that makeup is one of the most impactful ways to express yourself. Everyone's idea of beauty is different and individual to them, whether that is all-natural to full glamour. Your face is the first thing others see when connecting with you for the first time. Creating a positive first impression of oneself is so important and easy to achieve. Each and every application I do is specifically tailored to that persons' personality, image, skin type, and style. I thrive on my clients feeling as beautiful and unique on the outside as they do on the inside. 

I work with a wide range of products including but not limited to MAC, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Sisley, Dior, Bobbi Brown, Nars, Too Faced, Huda Beauty, Anastasia Beverlyhills, Sigma, Marc Jacobs, Sisley, Clinique, Kanebo, Estee Lauder, Lancome, Anastasia Beverlyhills, Urban Decay, Smashbox, Make Up For Ever, Makeup Studio, Inglot, products as well as many other professional cosmetic brands. I am constantly updating and adding to my extensive makeup collection for any special event makeup needs.
