I was lucky to have Amanda as the makeup artist on my wedding day. Having had my makeup done by other makeup artists in the past, I can really appreciate Amanda’s style. She listens! She doesn’t awkwardly try to convince you that whatever crazy clown makeup idea other makeup artists come up with is better. She is approachable and receptive. I am an introvert. It’s hard for me to feel comfortable voicing concerns without feeling like I’m burdening someone or telling them how to do their job. I never felt that way with Amanda. I felt 100% comfortable letting her know that I absolutely did NOT want to feel makeup on my face for my big day.
I wanted to feel like myself, not like myself with drywall spread all over my face. She told me that she would be very careful to have a light hand when applying the foundation and she did exactly that. I did not feel like a cake face even a little bit. I don’t wear makeup everyday & when I do, I always prefer a more natural look.
I told Amanda that I wanted a natural look with a small pop of color. She went out on her own time and hunted to find me the PERFECT eye shadow. It was just what I was looking for. It was a beautiful gold, shimmery eye shadow that had a tint of green when you looked at it from different angles. It was beautiful! I loved it so much I have been using the same one on my own ever since.
Another thing that was a concern of mine was false eyelashes. I did not want to have Mr. Snuffleupagus eyelashes. I had to wear heavy, thick falsies for dance shows in high school and had grown to resent the weight on my eyelids. Amanda found the most beautiful, light weight falsies that were comfortable and tasteful. The were just the right amount to fill in my own lashes and really were the cherry on top of the already beautiful makeup job she had done.
Not only did she make me look/​feel beautiful and comfortable on my most important day, she made all of my bridesmaids look/​feel that way too. There wasn’t a single complaint. She even made time to help finish the officiant’s makeup! What a gal!
Amanda is the BEST! She will continue to be my first choice for makeup artistry in the future.
THANK YOU AMANDA!

Amanda is a wonderful make up artist! I was in a wedding over the weekend and she did the makeup for the bride and all of the bridesmaids. She was very personable, friendly, and most of all, patient with all of the girls. Our makeup stayed on for the entire night and looked fabulous. She was very accommodating to the different girls styles, and she came with many recommendations for different products, brushes, skincare, etc. I will definitely have her do my makeup again for my next big event!

Amanda was absolutely amazing to work with on my wedding day! I had three makeup consultations with different Bay Area artists and finally found Amanda who understand the style I was going for. I wanted a natural, glowing look for my wedding day and she did a perfect job. All of my bridesmaids were so happy with how their makeup turned out too. I got so many compliments on the makeup and it latest all night! Thanks Amanda! :)

There are very little times when planning and throwing a wedding celebration do things not get chaotic. Amanda is by far the exception!
My wife and I threw a celebration this past weekend and hired Amanda to do our makeup for the very special day. Before finding her, I was pulling my hair out with overpriced, pretentious and very cold-​mannered makeup artists that had a list of requirements, minimum expectations and an overwhelming amount of information just to try to get your makeup done.
From the very first email contact with her, Amanda had nothing but easy requirements, complete flexibility, incredible prices and nonstop positivity for you and your day. She responded to every question I had within the day, was willing to come to our house and try a test run and also traveled to our resort the day of (easily two hours from her) without question or complaint, and was always early to everything.
Honestly, I began just looking for someone that enjoyed makeup, was great at it and could meet some of the simple things we were looking for. I couldn’t recommend Amanda more for anyone who is looking for a great artist who really does love the art of it and is proud of what she does!!!

Amanda does amazing work! She helped me with a fresh new look and I couldn’t be happier. She is perfectly professional and all around wonderful person to work with.

Amanda did our makeup for a night out on the town in Vegas and I couldn’t have been happier. She knows what she’s doing and did a great job complimenting everyone’s facial features and outfits perfectly. Each person had their own look and it was classy at that without being overdone. I would 150% recommend Amanda to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist who is AMAZING!!!

I’ve had my makeup done by Amanda twice and have been knocked off my feet by how amazing it was both times! She makes it all look so natural and elegant. She did my makeup for my senior portrait and knew exactly what colors and pigments to use to complement the photography. She’s SO nice, and despite my incessant eye twitching, has a very sturdy hand! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Amanda has done my makeup twice. I loved my makeup for my junior league Christmas party. She did a sparkly smokey eye which looked great with my holiday dress. My face looked fresh, which is so nice considering I have bad acne. She picked the perfect color for my lips to complete the look. I can’t wait to use her again in the future!
