About Maggie Cathey

Founder, Mags Cathey

Maggie has been a makeup artist since 2006 and started Mags Cathey in June of 2012. Originally from Long Beach, California, Maggie moved up to the Glendora area for college. During that time she got to work with brides, on short films, and photoshoots. Even though Maggie was going to school for theater, it didn’t take her long to realize that makeup was her passion and in 2009 she took a leap of faith and pursued a different path. It wasn’t until the summer of 2012 that Maggie finally got to live her dream and be a full-time makeup artist, and Mags Cathey was born. Maggie is now a professional Makeup Artist, a Licensed Esthetician, and an Executive Beauty Coach.

Maggie lives in Southern California with her husband Ryan and her two daughters Ellie and Isla.
