    Flawless look!

    Amanda was amazing in bringing my wedding day look to life! She is so incredibly talented and I couldn’t recommend her more to any bride that wants to look absolutely gorgeous on their wedding day. Amanda and her team were super easy to work with and so flexible with my requests and needs. She even did not one, but two touchups on my day to make sure my look was perfect! Highly recommend Amanda McCarthy Beauty!

    Very talented and has the best personality!

    Amanda is wonderful! She is incredibly talented, professional, and such a fun person! She is very laid back and has a great personality that makes you feel right at home with her. I had planned on working with another makeup vendor that ended up not working out and was able to secure Amanda very last minute which I feel very lucky about. She made me feel like a movie star. My makeup looked fantastic from the time she finished in the late morning until the end of our reception. I am SO happy to have had Amanda as my makeup artist on my wedding daily, I will absolutely recommend her!

    Amazing Makeup Artist

    I loved having Amanda do the makeup for my wedding day! She did the makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. She was a true professional and we had so much fun getting ready with her. She really elevated the day and everyone looked amazing! I loved the extra touches like the lashes but I always felt like (the best) version of myself!

    Amazing makeup artist

    Amanda was amazing! Not only is she an incredibly talented make up artist, she is so fun and kind. My bridesmaids, mother, and I all felt so beautiful. I am so happy we were able to hire her and would HIGHLY recommend her. She is doing my best friend's wedding next summer and I can't wait to get make up done by her again. We all wanted natural make up but had different levels of comfort wearing makeup which she accommodated perfectly. A must hire!

    If you want to feel beautiful and confident, book with Amanda ASAP

    I was lucky enough to have Amanda do my spray tan a couple days before my wedding, and she did makeup for me, my mom, and my four bridesmaids on the day of my wedding. Amanda is the definition of a pro. I'll start with the spray tan - I was nervous as anything since I'd never had one before, but Amanda made sure I was comfortable and happy the entire time. She told me exactly how to stand, how to turn, and what was about to happen. I followed her directions for tan maintenance to the letter and I'm pleased to report that my tan stayed beautiful through the end of my mini-moon over a week after the initial application. For the wedding makeup - 11/10. Amanda arrived that morning with an amazing amount of makeup in her kit and was able to flawlessly match each differing skintone in my bridal party. Her fun upbeat personality and encouragement were exactly what we needed that morning. Each of us felt so so pretty and even my makeup hating mom really loved her look. Amanda made sure that my makeup stood up to a full day of tears, smiles, laughs, sweating, and constant photos, without feeling painted on or cakey. My makeup was flawless the entire day, and I felt more beautiful and confident than I ever have in my life. I know its cliche, and a woman is more than her makeup, but on your wedding day you want to feel like you're the prettiest woman in the world - Amanda's work helped me feel that way. I'm confident she would make you feel like that too.

    Stop looking now, and book Amanda!

    Simply amazing! I could not imagine working with anyone else on my wedding day. She is a pro, funny, honest, and flexible, not to mention always on-time and organized!

    Amanda helped me decide on my look to match my wedding vision during the trial. Notably, she helped me navigate through all of the options that would compliment my complexion and make me feel beautiful.

    She did my make up for my NYE wedding weekend, including the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. I had a large wedding party and a long day ahead of us, so she was early, brought high energy, and organized to make the day of glam, fun and on schedule. Our makeup was flawless and lasted all day and night!

    If you are looking for someone who will deliver and make you look amazing, look no further! I am so thankful to have worked with Amanda on my wedding day. She truly is the best and someone I still stay in touch with today!

    Book Amanda!

    I am so happy that I went with Amanda and her team. I had my trial with her in May, and I got married in December 2019. Amanda even helped transform my brows! I went to her once a month between the trial and my wedding. She became one of my friends over the last 6 months.

    During the day of the wedding, Amanda was professional, kind and warming. She and her team made every girl look and feel beautiful. Amanda knew exactly what to say when she could tell I was getting overwhelmed during the morning. I was going for a winter, vintage, glam look for our wedding at the Boston Harbor Hotel. She definitely delivered.

    When I was going through the process of hiring my vendors and looking at all the reviews, I was really turned off by the fact that every vendor had a perfect rating. I thought there is no way every vendor can have a 5-star review. I wanted the truth! But the truth is, Amanda is a complete rock star and deserves every 5-star rating she receives.

    I cannot thank Amanda enough for being a part of my day. I feel so lucky that I was able to work with such a professional, kind and overall great person on the day of my wedding.

    highly recommend, professional, talented

    I absolutely love Amanda! From the moment we met at the trial, to the day of, she was wonderful to work with. She is so much fun and truly wants you to look your best, while feeling your best, and still feeling like yourself on the big day. She was super flexible and went with me when I changed my look from my trial to the wedding day. She was honest and wanted my look to match the venue, which I super appreciated. She was extremely professional by coming in and setting up (an incredible set up with mirror, large light, all of her makeup laid out, large comfortable chairs) without us even knowing she was there! She made me laugh the entire time as well as making me feel so beautiful inside and out. I heard every single one of my bridesmaids compliment how professional Amanda and her associate were. They asked questions that all of my bridesmaids super appreciated and stated they have never been asked by a makeup artist before - such as allergies, skin sensitivities, and their comfort with makeup. Amanda was a very welcome addition to our morning and felt like one of us, not just a vendor. I would 100% hire her again and have already recommended her to future brides.

    Five-Star Glam Squad for weddings or anything you want to be beautiful for!

    Amanda is the best! She is the person you, your bridal party, and family will want to be around the day of your wedding. I was feeling anxious and a little ill from nerves the day of the rehearsal and the morning of the wedding, but Amanda was a calming and kind presence to be around, and she helped to put me at ease. Not only that, but she does a great job with makeup: She can do whatever look you’re going for, with a great talent for doing natural but glam looks that will work great for photos. Amanda did the makeup for my engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day, and I couldn’t be happier with her work. She has a great variety of high quality products, is knowledgeable about makeup and the newest trends and products. She is receptive to any ideas you have, in addition to being creative. Her and her team were great for taking care of myself and my bridal party and keeping us on time - she was especially great with our two flower girls who were fighting over who got to get their makeup done with her first! Thank you for all your hard work, Amanda!

    PS - As a former LA-based spray tan lover who has struggled to find a great spray tan in Maine, I’ve also gone traveled to her adorable studio in York several times for spray tans, and I’d highly recommend her for those as well!

    Highly Recommend!!!

    Working with Amanda was a dream. Not only is she incredible with your makeup, but she also transforms into a best friend/therapist. I was extremely nervous while getting ready and she totally put me at ease. She knew just what to say to keep the mood light and exciting! And even after many tears, and a blotchy red face, she worked her magic and made me feel beautiful! Amanda was so sweet and even stayed until the moment I left to make sure I was ready for the ceremony! Everyone in the bridal party looked stunning and I can’t thank her enough!!! I would love to work with her again. She is so much fun! You will have zero regrets booking this talented lady!

    This woman is a make up artist GOD! Amanda is funny and talented. I booked her almost two years out for my wedding as one of the first vendors. She is professional and knows her makeup! She made my bridesmaids and family as well as myself look stunning. She worked well under a time crunch at the end and did not break a sweat! Look no further, her professionalism cannot be topped. Xo

    Amanda is such a pleasure to work with! Leading up to the wedding she was always readily available via email. On my wedding day she arrived early and skillfully took care of my bridal party of 7, MOB and MOG plus me, with the help of her incredibly talented assistant Lacey. She is absolutely masterful and made me and my girls feel absolutely gorgeous on the wedding day. She is hilarious and so much fun to have around while getting ready. My make up was applied around 1130 in the morning and looked flawless until I took it off at 2 am, literally required no touch ups for over 12 hours. She provides airbrush and lashes and she has such a good eye for what works for each member of the bridal party. Could not have imagined more perfect bridal makeup and she is just such a lovely and warm person!

    I was so fortunate to work with Amanda on my wedding day. She is unbelievable, both as a person and as a makeup artist. When I met her at my trial, I felt an instant connection. I very rarely get my makeup done so I was a little nervous. She was calm, kind and hilarious and made me feel comfortable immediately. I left feeling beautiful and completely confident that my wedding day makeup would look perfect. Sure enough, when she showed up that morning, she made everyone feel at ease. Everyone's makeup was absolutely flawless. She understood the exact look I was going for and made everyone feel beautiful and natural. All of my bridesmaids raved about how it was the best wedding makeup experience they had ever had and I couldn't agree more. I am so thankful that I was able to work with Amanda and would recommend her enthusiastically. She is the best!

    Amanda is an AMAZING makeup artist! During my trial she shared tips and tricks with me while doing my makeup so that I had things to take away and use on a personal basis. On the day of the wedding she brought her assistant Lacey who is also incredibly talented! She made the getting ready process stress free and made us all feel/look like rock stars! To all the New England brides - Amanda is a must!

    Amanda and her assistant Lacey are AMAZING. From my pre-wedding organic spray tan to the day-of makeup, everything was perfect. Amanda and Lacey did makeup for me (the bride!) and all six of my bridesmaids, and everyone was thrilled with the results. Along with my hair stylist, they made the getting ready portion of the day stress free and fun -- exactly what I was looking for on the day of my wedding. I will be calling on Amanda for any and all special event makeup and spray tans I need. Flawless!

    When selecting vendors for my wedding, it did not occur to me just how important the people doing my hair and make-up would be: they are are with you during the most exciting moments of anticipation and help set the stage for the rest of the evening.

    Amanda could not have been more amazing: calm, funny, humble, and flexible. I felt like myself, simply enhanced by make-up. My look lasted all evening, even through outdoor photos in the snow! She was also able to work with skin sensitivities of family members. And I cannot imagine spending those few hours before my first look with my now-husband with anyone else.

    Thank you, Amanda!

    I cannot say enough great things about Amanda and her team. Amanda was so easy to work with; she was prompt and professional. She was also very informative and helpful. There were 11 people total who had their make-up done. Everyone's make-up was absolutely stunning. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of make-up, just the basics (mainly because I am clueless about it), Amanda was so great about making me look beautiful without being overdone. I am truly speechless with how gorgeous everyone looked! I would recommend Amanda McCarthy Beauty to anyone!

    Amanda is amazing! Amanda and one other makeup artist did the makeup for myself, 8 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers. Everyone loved their makeup and looked polished but natural.
    Amanda also gave me a spray tan for me the week of my wedding. It was was my first time getting a spray tan, and it looked completely natural the day of the wedding!
    My sister will be using her for her wedding later this year!

    Amanda is amazing. She did a fantastic, fantastic job making me feel like I had glowing perfect skin on my wedding day (which I don't) and also putting makeup on me in such a way that I felt both glamorous and also like myself. And on top of all that talent, she is very professional and has an awesome personality. So happy that I got to work with Amanda! THANK YOU!!

    Amanda and her team were wonderful from start to finish. They are truly artistic. From my trial, to my spray tan, to my wedding makeup, I was thrilled with the results. She was sweet and professional. I spent four days researching, inquiring with, and comparing portfolios of wedding makeup artists and landed on Amanda. I would highly recommend.

    Amanda did an amazing job on my makeup and spray tan! I went to her a few days before the wedding and has the spray tan done, it was the perfect color. As for our makeup, i can't tell you enough how great of a job she did! I highly recommend Amanda!

    Stop reading reviews. Just book Amanda now! I have never felt prettier than when Amanda did my makeup for both my engagement photos and for our wedding day. She is so knowledgeable and talented! She really listens to what you're envisioning for your look and delivers every time. The makeup stayed on ALL day for my engagement photos and for the wedding but never felt heavy and never appeared to be "too much" which I loved! I wish Amanda could do my makeup everyday! Thank you, Amanda!

    Amanda was absolutely amazing!! I am a bit picky about my makeup and had only one experience getting my makeup done prior to Amanda, and it did not go well... Amanda did such a fantastic job though!! I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. My makeup stayed in place perfectly and it looked like it had just been done, even at the end of the night. Also, Amanda was so easy to work with, fun, and reliable. I will absolutely be recommending her services to any of my friends getting married!!
