Cat Lane is a Professional Makeup Artist and Educator with over 20 years of experience in makeup artistry, education, and cosmetics. Her journey began in childhood as a dancer and musical theatre actor. Getting to wear makeup to match her costumes or to transform into a character was exhilarating and was a major influence on her decision to pursue makeup artistry. In addition to the performing arts, Cat’s study of photography in high school and college contributed greatly to her ability to transform faces using shadow and light.
Cat’s professional makeup career began as a retail makeup artist. Soon, she became an educator for the brand and, through that experience, discovered a love not only of makeup artistry, but also of mentoring other artists and public speaking. Over the past 20 plus years, Cat has educated staff, clients, and fellow artists for M.A.C., MAKE UP FOR EVER, CMC Makeup School and Merle Norman Cosmetics.
Currently, Cat is enjoying life in Austin, TX working in film, television, and commercials. When she isn’t on set working behind the scenes, she can be found in the voice booth or in an acting class, honing her skills for a future working on both sides of the camera.
