                                  Hi, 

I am Katurah and I am here to make your Make up experience one to remember!


ABout Me 

My name is Katurah Muhl, I was born and raised in CT. I come from a big family with older sisters and a younger brother. My love for makeup started when I was young, for as long as I can remember. I used to play with my moms AVON samples and her makeup as a kid. My mother is very old fashioned and is the epitome of a lady. She preaches that you can't leave the house without looking presentable and a face of makeup was key. My father's is an artist, he can draw in 3D, specializing in cars. My mother allowed me to play and experiment with her makeup, which led me to a passion and love for it. My father would teach me his art techniques and I inherited his 3D skills. With my parents help, Makeup Artistry was just my cup of tea. When I was fresh out of high school and taking college courses I worked for Sephora. I lived and breathed Sephora, it was a wonderful, educational and amazing experience. I worked there many years as a Skin consultant and Makeup Artist. 

As I matured and realized I wanted to get married and have a family of my own.  The retail end of Sephora was not a family life for me (having to work Holidays). That being said I went on to try something new and I was bank manager which I did love, but something was missing. What you wonder? It was my makeup clients, whether it was helping that young girl find her first foundation shade, a lipstick for her prom, the exhausted mom trying to find a quick and easy routine to feel beautiful or my brides getting ready for their magical wedding day. I missed it all, so much.

 I got married and have amazing blessings, a family of my own, my daughter and my son. Family life is very important to me. I had found what I needed to be back doing makeup and to be able to have my work, life balance. This allowed me to be with family and be with them for the holidays. I started my own makeup business, the Aura of Beauty and i am so thankful I did. I am able to be the involved mom I always wanted to be, and still be a part of someone's special event or wedding, making them feel beautiful. I get to do all of this, while getting to play with makeup. I am so very thankful for all of my clients and their continued support to allow me to do what I love. 


What the Brides are saying:


Heather M. - "I hired Katurah as a make up artist for my October 2020 wedding. She listened to what I wanted during my trial, advised me based upon my coloring & bone structure what colors & techniques would look good on me. She hit it out of the park!!!! Katurah also did my bridal party & my mom. She was excellent under pressure, she was calm, confident & got us all perfected on time! Katurah’s talents are beyond measure!!! Since the wedding, my sister has also hired her for my niece’s dance recitals. We always look forward to the cool looks she comes up with!"


Kelsey B. -  "Not only does Katurah hold tremendous skill in the makeup arena, she is a pure joy to be around. I had the honor of having Katurah do my makeup for my wedding on June 16, 2021! She made me feel super comfortable every step of my special day by frequently checking in on how I’m feeling and how things are looking! She assisted with doing my moms makeup, my maid of honor and myself for the day-of glow up! She was very accommodating even leading up to the event by asking for examples of what I’m looking for and made sure to do a trial that I absolutely loved before committing! She even made the trip from Connecticut to Long Island, just for me and my girls. It is without a doubt that I’d recommend her over and over again, share my experience with others and look back at pictures and remember how I felt so beautiful, even at 8 months pregnant!" 


Shaina B. - "Thank you, you did awesome work and for making me feel extra gorgeous!!"


Melissa H. - "I recommend Katurah Muhl at Aura of Beauty for her make-up services. Katurah is highly trained and knowledgeable in the beauty industry. She has over 10 years experience. Katurah is a creative professional with the ability to pay attention to fine detail. She goes above and beyond to supply the customer with an amazing experience. I was honored to have such a wonderful experience with her for my wedding day. Katurah met with me weeks before my wedding and went over all custom options including the importance of my lip tone. We discussed skin concerns and sensitivities, as well as the natural tones I was looking for.  My special day was nothing short of perfect and I credit Katurah for making me feel so special. I strongly recommend Katurah for beauty services, she will exceed your expectations."


Michelle P. - "Being a bride during Covid certainly wasn’t easy. However, hiring my make up artist was! Katurah with Aura of Beauty was so easy and kind to work with. Everything was completely flawless from our first meeting to the wedding day. Not only did all of the bridal party look stunning we also made a friend in the process!"


Kendall C. - "Katurah was amazing and listened to everything I wanted. She was even able to completely cover a cat scratch in a very visible spot! I actually forgot it was there until I washed it off in the shower about 8 hours later after lots of sweating and running around. The rest of my makeup also stayed in place all day with no issues whatsoever. Highly recommended."



Melissa K. - "Katurah was amazing. 10/10. She was insanely sweet and did an amazing job. She was professional and made sure I loved everything she was doing. If you're looking for a makeup artist, she is your person. She did my mom, my bridesmaids, and myself. "
