The BEST of the Best!!

Amy is truly the best of the best when it comes to wedding makeup in the Wilmington area. She was so easy to work with from day one and is so talented. I did a trial with her which I highly recommend because it reassured me that I was in the best hands for my wedding day. She did such a fabulous job on myself and each of my six bridesmaids as well as the MOB and MOG. She exceeded my wildest dreams for my wedding makeup and made me feel so beautiful! Not to mention the makeup didn't budge the entire day! If you want to look your best and have an absolutely seamless wedding experience, Amy is the one to book.

A mastermind, beautiful work!

I live in Miami and got married in NC. I cannot believe an artist as eonderful, skilled, professional and DID I SAY SKILLED? Lives in Wilmington. Girls you need to book Amy. She does a FLAWLESS JOB and will make you and your wedding party look drop dead gorgeous for the wedding. She was able to create a different look for the wedding and for my rehearsal dinner. I only regret is I live in Miami because if I was closer I would use Amy's services every weekend. BOOK HER

The most talented in the area!

Choosing to work with Amy was the best decision I ever made! I searched high and low when looking for someone to do my makeup for my wedding day. I have done my own makeup with my favorite/guaranteed products for many years, and am very particular about getting my makeup professionally done. I knew when I found Amy that she was exactly what I was looking for. She is truly so talented and she makes you feel like a bridal beauty. She was so professional, kind, easy to work with, and made me feel so calm and at ease the morning of my wedding. It’s true.. she set the tone for the entire day! At 8 am with all the chaos going on… Amy looked at me and said “take a deep breath… relax” and from that moment on the rest of the day I did exactly that. I was able to be in the moment and feel all the love knowing that I looked and felt my very best! I would highly recommend Amy to anyone in the Wilmington area looking for bridal, bridesmaid/family makeup. We all were so very happy with the results. Despite having a beach wedding and boat happy hour, the makeup lasted all day! We didn’t have to go to the bathroom once for a touch up and were able to be in the moment! If Im ever in the area and in need of a makeup artist, I will hands down not hesitate to work with Amy again.
