If i had the opportunity to leave no stars i would!! Keep in mind i emailed Amanda this and no response. i had booked her for my bridesmaids on 9/5/2022 for a wedding and was charged $110 per bridesmaid and extra money for travel. I understand ...that is a rate that shes stand by depending on experience, longevity in this industry and most importantly, the products she uses. I noticed that the products that were used on my bridesmaids were MAINLY drugstore products, not a lot of variety in color in foundation or concealers; which is completely unacceptable. These girls paid a very high price, $110 to get their makeup done professional expecting to have used a few high end products and variety in color for their skin tone. My sisters and bridesmaids were all different skin tones and some were darker than others and she did not have any dark shades for their foundation or concealer which is awful as an artist not to carry!!! My sisters face was completely different than her body and looked orange two hours later which looked awful in the photos. They also told me that Amanda did not even set their face with setting spray when they asked to set it, assuming she did not have any, which does not make sense at all considering they are attending a wedding from 5am to 12am! Her response as to why she doesn’t use setting spray was “ i usually don’t use that” ?!?! In my opinion, it is awful to charge these girls $110 for service which include brands that are less than $10 like elf maybelline or L’Oréal for foundation or concealer etc. I am not saying it should not be used at all however, for a majority of the products, that just seems extremely unreasonable for the price these girls are paying and if i would have known that was the case i would have not booked Amanda.
She also has sanitary issue. The brushes she used on the girls were not cleaned before using them. When my sister asked to put more blush on she responded, “that’s all i can put on you” assuming she did not have enough product or was being very stingy. She did not know much variety in eyeshadow looks especially full glam looks. Again, she charged way too high for drugstore.
I had multiple artists charge me $60-$80 for bridesmaids on my date and then i had others charge me $100-$150 and their reasoning for it was mainly the products they used on the girls.
I am definitely not happy with the service i was given nor were my bridesmaids happy and I will definitely not tolerate this and will not be recommending Amanda to others. I absolutely felt scammed by using her so do yourself the favor and do not do the same thing and book Amanda.
