Instructor: Kat Kou

Skillful, passionate and dedicated to her craft, Kat Kou is a Canadian makeup artist with 13 years of experience. From an early age, she displayed a strong creative flair for art and self-expression. Upon completing an education at Blanche Macdonald in 2006, she has worked on a number of cutting edge projects since and continues to thrive today as an artist.
