The Katy Gill Collective
Hair and make-up artist
The Katy Gill Collective is a mobile bridal hair and make-up team led by Katy Gill and based in Sant Josep. It looks after brides, bridesmaids, mothers and guests on location, with a preview appointment and timings agreed with the photographer.
What they do
The Katy Gill Collective is a bridal hair and make-up team based in Sant Josep, in the south-west of the island. Katy Gill founded it and has worked on Ibiza weddings for about ten years; the other artists have five to ten years each on the island. The team works on location and looks after the bride, bridesmaids, mothers and guests, adding artists as the party grows.
The focus is destination weddings, so most of the process is designed for brides planning from abroad.
How it works
Work usually starts 12 to 6 months before the wedding. There is a phone consultation, a round of selfies and inspiration photos, and then a preview appointment to design the look. Afterwards the team confirms any changes and sends a preparation guide.
Closer to the date they check final numbers, agree the ready time with your photographer so the getting-ready shots line up, and send a named timing schedule you can share with the bridal party. On the day the maids and mothers go first, then the bride, then touch-ups and the veil. The bride leaves with a touch-up kit.
Their style
The site describes a collaborative approach in which the bride sets the direction. For bridesmaids and mothers the team tends to natural tones and light coverage, with waterproof mascara as standard.
