Amsterdam-born and based, Kato Fierkens approaches makeup as both craft and creative statement, a medium through which image becomes atmosphere. Working across Europe with Paris as a regular base of operations, she has built a practice over more than a decade defined by versatility and a sharp instinct for character, moving fluidly between music, editorial and commercial production with the same commitment to precision and vision. Her beauty work spans collaborations with Chanel Beauty, MAC Cosmetics, Isamaya Beauty and Lashify.
Fierkens' command of her craft has drawn her into the orbit of some of the most distinctive voices in music and image, among them Arca, Sevdaliza, Rimon, Chxrry and Don Diablo. Her clients across fashion and commercial include Nike, Adidas, Converse, Karl Lagerfeld, Gisou, Zalando, Tommy Jeans, Woolrich, New Balance and Samsøe Samsøe, among others. Her work has appeared in Vogue, Numero NL, Glamcult and Notion.
