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 -

Truly one of a kind
Amy is hands down the best makeup artist I’ve ever worked with. She made me and all of my girls, both young and seasoned, feel like the best versions of ourselves the day of my wedding. Amy’s energy is exactly what every bride needs on her wedding day, she is kind, calm, and organized in a way that helps the day run flawlessly no matter how big or small your group is. When I tell you my makeup lasted the entire day, I mean it held up beautifully in 90 degree heat and humidity, as well as in torrential rain fall as we were leaving the wedding! One of my favorite parts of working with Amy was her willingness to fit in my 90 year old grandmother, who had never had her makeup before and was fearful of too much glam, but instead Amy made her feel beautiful in her own skin - I can’t recommend this enough for those that are lucky enough to have grandmothers there to celebrate the day together. One more suggestion, professional makeup for rehearsal dinner! It is absolutely worth it, especially if you plan to have a photographer there to document the evening. I look forward to working with Amy for every big event or photography shoot our family does in the future, and can’t recommend her enough, again, there’s no one like her. ♥️ -

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. -

Amy is a delight! She is so incredibly talented and up-to-date with products and bridal trends. I'm a former makeup artist myself, so I knew I needed someone who could bring it--and that she did! I would use her for any occasion or event! And she's great with all skin colors FYI :) Book her ASAP! -

Amy did the most amazing job on my bridesmaids and my makeup! She is extremely professional and THE subject matter expert on makeup!! All of my girls including myself were ready WAY ahead of schedule and we had the most seamless getting ready time I've ever experienced for any wedding I've ever been to. She was so flexible while working with my scheduled ahead of time for my trial because I was an out of town bride and I am SO grateful! All of my girls have different skin tones and it didn't matter, because Amy does it all! Everyone looked and felt absolutely beautiful! I wouldn't change my decision to book my makeup with Amy! She is well known in Wilmington for a reason! BOOK WITH HER! -

I am so so happy that I booked Amy for my bridal party and myself. Every one of the girls loved their make up, and it came across so beautiful in photos! Amy is so beautifully skilled at makeup & truly knows what will look best on you. She was able to give each of the bridal party something different while keeping it all cohesive.

Julianna Sent on 11/20/2022So talented
I had my make-up done by Amy at a friends wedding several years ago and knew I had to book her for my own. She really listens to your vision and takes it away. I just got our photos back and am so pleased with how the natural look I wanted came out. My photographer knew who did my make up without me even saying which I thought spoke volumes to how talented Amy is. I also have very sensitive skin and the products she uses left my skin feeling better than before. No harsh chemicals here. Thank you, Amy, for making me feel like a million bucks on my very special day. -

I have worked with Amy since our engagement photos in 2019 — she has been outstanding every step of the way. Never have I seen a makeup artist do such an awesome job EVERY SINGLE TIME. The moms, girls, and I looked so amazing and natural! Her professionalism and timely work made a HUGE difference on wedding morning when we had lots of girls getting hair/makeup done and a strict timeline. She is truly an artist and made me look and feel like a princess on wedding day. I can’t thank you enough Amy! -

Kristen Sent on 11/04/2019AMAZING. She makes you look like yourself but BETTER!!
Amy was absolutely UNBELIEVABLE. She is so incredibly talent, but also the sweetest person. She is a master at enhancing what you already have and making you look like YOU but even better for your big day. All of my bridesmaids had their makeup done as well and they all looked amazing. They could not stop raving about their makeup. My biggest pet peeve is when makeup artists cake you up and hide your freckles and Amy did an amazing job of making my girls' skin look incredible while still letting their freckles shine through. I cannot recommend her enough. She just gets it. Thank you so much Amy; you really put me at ease knowing my makeup was going to look flawless for the big day! -

It is no wonder why Amy is ALWAYS booked and comes so highly recommended! I am so glad that we were able to hire Amy to be a part of our September wedding at Wrightsville Manor! She did an INCREDIBLE job with my makeup. It was even better than I imagined, I loved the way it looked in photos, and it lasted me ALL day long (even through many many happy tears). Amy also made all of my bridesmaids look so stunning and they were so happy with her work. She is also a total sweetheart, and made us all feel so relaxed in the bridal sweet all day long. As a wedding photographer myself, I cannot wait to photograph more brides with Amy as the makeup artist! Her work is completely unmatched and I will continue to recommend her to my brides! THANK YOU AMY! -

Eliza Sent on 08/04/2019Best Decision Ever
All hail queen Amy! She is both an incredible professional and person, and we were so lucky to work with her. Amy is a true artist, and she pulls of any and every style of makeup you could want. After doing my trial during the holiday season, I knew I was in the very best hands for my wedding. She truly brings out your best features while making sure you still look like you, which was so important to me for my wedding day. Amy is such a fun and calming person, and she instantly helps you relax and enjoy the process. She airbrushed me and all of my ladies for the wedding, and it was the perfect choice for our outdoor July ceremony – both lightweight and durable! My entire bridal party was so happy with their makeup and it was such a mood-changer from getting ready nerves to DANG we look good! I highly recommend working with Amy for any event, as she truly is the best of the best on all aspects! -

Lauren Sent on 05/23/2019Amazing amazing work
Amy did amazing work with myself (bride) and with the bridal party and mothers. She made us all look very natural yet highlighting our features. Ive always been skeptical in someone doing my makeup but for some reason i did not with her due her pictures. I did not even do a trial and trusted her to just do my makeup day of wedding. I would love to find another excuse to allow her to do my makeup. Love her work!!! -

Sarah K. Sent on 07/30/2018Amy is amazing. There is a reason she has so many perfect reviews. She made me feel gorgeous on my wedding day and my makeup looked just as beautiful at the end of the night. My bridesmaids, mom and mother in law all were so happy were their makeup. They could not stop talking about how pretty they felt. She knows exactly what a face needs and is so kind and easy to talk with as well. She's truly the best and I wish I could have her do my makeup every day!

Jasmine Sent on 10/25/2017Amy is THE BEST makeup artist. When I was looking for someone to do my bridal makeup for my wedding in Wilmington, NC in June 2018, when a local bride recommended her. I have had a couple of sessions with her already and I cannot wait to work with her for my bridal portraits and of course my wedding day. She's very professional, detail orientated, and super friendly. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone needing a makeup artist! :)

I’m very weird about people doing my makeup but she made me feel so beautiful as well as all the other bridesmaids and bride too. She took a Pinterest photo and made us look identical to what we wanted. Now I’m having Amy for my wedding in April and i can’t wait! I highly recommend Amy, i promise you can’t be disappointed! -
