About

Hello! I am a freelance makeup artist based in Austin, TX. Growing up I have always admired the art of makeup and loved practicing on friends and family. After graduating from The University of Texas with a degree in Textiles and Apparel and a short stint in the design world, I decided to finally pursue a career in makeup artistry. I have worked with a wide range of clientele, and I am available for weddings, portraits, events, and editorial work. Feel free to email me at avery@averyallenmakeup.com or call with any questions. Thank you!

Amazingly talented

Avery is the best! I’m not an easy client when it comes to makeup, but I brought photos to my wedding trial, and Avery understood what I was looking for right off the bat. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup, and she even graciously squeezed in my mom at the last minute who hadn’t originally wanted her makeup done. She’s also just so easy-going and personable. Thanks, Avery!

I've never felt more beautiful in my life

Avery is the best - in every way. If you are looking for someone who just gets the natural, effortless makeup look, look no further. From my initial trial with her, all the way to my wedding day, she made me feel so beautiful, radiant and most importantly, like myself. She is also the warmest, kindest soul. I could talk to her for hours!

Additionally, all my bridesmaids also got their makeup done with her. I have been in a lot of weddings. Most times, your girlfriends aren't huge fans of the makeup. I can honestly tell you that my friends looked like models. Every one of them remarked about how beautiful they felt (see attached photo of a few of them!). Seeing my friends feel so damn beautiful was so special to me.

Thank you Avery for being you and for making us all feel like the best version of ourselves!

Hiring Avery was the best decision I made.

I felt beautiful!

Avery herself wasn't available, but her associate Colleen did my makeup for both my engagement photos and my wedding. I am someone who normally hates the way I look in photos, but I couldn’t stop staring at myself! I wanted a “natural elegant” look, and Colleen delivered perfectly, with a really fun personality to boot. My wedding makeup lasted all night, and I felt beautiful.

Incredible Makeup Artist

I didn't even know I could look this good! If only I could bring Avery home with me and have her do my makeup everyday! Avery not only gave me a makeup lesson empowering me to do a better job with my own make-up but she also gave me several makeup sessions preparing me for photo shoots and videos. The biggest gift though was when she came to my home and did my makeup for my DIY home wedding. Not only did her wonderful, joyful, fun and calming presence help soothe my nerves for my wedding, but she also made me look Uh....mazing! I wanted a natural look and she is a pro at making me look like I don't even really have makeup on. How does she do it?! She also knows about natural makeup which I really value as I prefer to use makeup without chemicals. Avery is not just an incredible make up artist, she is also an incredible person and I feel so blessed to know her. Every time I see Avery, it is a great day! I highly recommend her!!! I plan to use her for the rest of my life anytime I need my makeup done. She rocks!

Perfection

Avery is really, REALLY good at makeup. She's also such a professional and so personable. We had a trial run, I showed her some pictures and explained what I wanted and she just nailed it perfectly. Would absolutely recommend her—the best!

Avery is a magician!! She can do wonders with makeup/eyelashes. I cannot say enough great things about Avery. I felt beautiful and it is thanks to AA. I wish I was close enough to have her do my makeup every day of my life. She listened to what I wanted, she is sooooo sweet and the best part, so talented. My makeup stayed on for 24 hours! ( I don't recommend trying that but I accidentally slept in my makeup and it was still beautiful the next day!!) Thank you sweet Avery! I heart you! xoxo

Avery is absolutely AMAZING!! She is one of the sweetest, most patient, professional people I've ever met. She never made us feel rushed and accommodated day-of changes to the hair & makeup schedule without batting an eye. The girl could seriously be a celebrity makeup artist. Not exaggerating. SHE IS A MAKEUP MAGICIAN! Amazing. We LOVED Avery and are currently plotting ways to move her to San Antonio so we can have her at our disposal. :) Book Avery! You absolutely won't be disappointed.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Avery of Avery Allen Makeup! I've had the opportunity to hire her for a couple of occasions and the results always have exceeded my expectations. What I love about her services most is that she is incredible at making sure you still look "like you" when the application is complete. Often times makeup artists have gone too extreme and I feel like a weird version of myself that isn't quite natural. But with Avery, I've always felt like the best version of me, even if I wanted to glam things up a bit. I most recently worked with Avery for my wedding day makeup and she truly hit a home run with me and the entire bridal party. Thanks to her expertise, she achieved the look I had been dreaming of and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. And the entire bridal party were so ecstatic and looked FABULOUS! She's a natural talent and I look forward to hiring her again in the future!

She is very sweet and easy going - perfect kind of person to be around while you are preparing for one of the biggest moments of your life! I liked her so much that I'm now using her to do my makeup for other events as well! Would definitely recommend you book her and her team!

I can't begin to explain how amazing Avery is. Not only is she super talented and knows exactly how to create the look you desire while still bringing out your natural features, she is a super sweet person. Getting married is a strenuous process, so when you're working with vendors that you actually enjoy being around, it is a huge plus. Avery will definitely be my "go to" for any occasion where I want to treat myself - she is really that good.
