Owner
My passion, confidence and attention to detail have allowed me to turn my love of all things beauty into my career spanning 20 years. I take pride in my work and feel privileged to work with my amazing clients. I have curated an amazing team of professionals to take care of you and your party on your big day! Prior to weddings I grew my career with brands like MAC, MAC Pro, and Make Up For Ever. For the last 10 years, I spend my weekdays on set, working on commercials and tv shows, and weddings on the weekend!
When I’m not working I spend my time with my family. I have 2 boys- an energetic, sporty, Pokémon collecting 10 year old and a sweet 13 year old who knows everything out outer space, loves to play video games on his computer and is on the autism spectrum.

ened to my vision and made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day.
My makeup was elegant, timeless, and photographed perfectly—it lasted through happy tears, dancing, and hours of celebration without needing touch-ups. She was calm, professional, and so kind, which made the entire morning stress-free and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a talented, reliable, and incredibly skilled makeup artist who will make you feel confident and radiant on your big day, look no further. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

If you’re looking for someone who is not only skilled but also kind, dependable, and passionate about their work, I highly recommend Amanda and Before the Veil Team.
Amanda, Shell...
y, and Heather were a HUGE part of what made my wedding day so special.
I couldn’t be happier with not only my hair and makeup, but also the hair and makeup of my six bridesmaids, and Mother of the bride. On the big day, Amanda and Team arrived on time and brought such a calming but energetic presence that it made the entire “getting ready” experience a breeze and stress-free. They are quick, efficient, and finished earlier than I expected!
Amanda and Team’s attention to detail were truly unmatched for my makeup looked flawless, my hair and makeup lasted all day and night, and STILL looked amazing in every photo. Amanda and Team listened to our requests and was able to enhance all our features without making us feel overdone. Speaking for myself, I felt like the best version of myself, and I couldn’t have been happier with how I looked in every single picture!
Thank you, Amanda and Team! You were all so incredible, thank you again for being apart of my day and making it so special.

throughout the day. Before the big day and I was in the planning phase, they were so patient with everything I asked and especially patient with trying to coordinate our timeline and who needs to be ready at which time. Through all the nerves I experienced throughout the day, they helped me stay calm and contributed to all of the many conversations we had during our time. I will recommend them to anyone who needs services!

d she perfectly recreated the hairstyle in the picture I showed her for my bridal hair inspiration. I got so many compliments. Emily took her time with each makeup application in the best way possible asking questions to make sure everyone was happy along the way. We all felt like total bombshells after we were done. The makeup and hair also lasted ALL DAY in the mid-august heat of an outdoor wedding. A million percent I would recommend using Before the Veil for your wedding day and honestly any event I need makeup for in the future.

A day or so before the wedding, Amanda let me know she wouldn't be able to make it due to a family emergency, but she immediately found a replacement makeup artist to send in her place who did an incredible job. So if you book Before the Veil you will definitely be in good hands!! I can't recommend them enough!

Shelley did the most beautiful hairstyle and I was so pleased with the outcome. She also took the time to discuss my vision and executed it flawlessly. My maid of honor’s hairstyle was also gorgeous and she was very pleased!
Definitely hire BTV for your wedding makeup and hair! You will not be disappointed!

I definitely recommend them for your wedding as they listen to everything you ask for. I actually didn’t get to have a trial run and even without it everything was great. She was available and answering questions about extensions days before the day. I’m so glad I went with them for all my hair and makeup and will for sure go to Amanda for any make up needs I have!

The morning of your wedding can be stressful and anxiety inducing, so being with people that are calm, cool and collected (and funny!) really helps.
She did makeup for me, my bridesmaids, mothers, a grandmother and a touch of sweet makeup for the flower girl. She also did the makeup for my portrait which we treated as a trial run for wedding. She is so talented and did phenomenal work!

y to have found Amanda! My wedding was in Austin, which meant we didn’t do a trial run before the actual event, but both my hair and makeup turned out exactly how I was envisioning. Amanda nailed the rose gold glam I was hoping for! She was totally down to chat about the products she recommended and what my shade was in complexion products.
My wedding day had some unexpected twists and turns and Amanda and her team were compassionate and flexible, and managed to fit SO much work into a very crunched timeline. I am so happy with my decision to hire Before the Veil!

She made all of my bridesmaids look incredible and she made sure they were comfortable with their makeup as well which I really appreciated! I've been a bridesmaid in so many weddings and felt like a stranger to myself when I got out of the makeup chair. So to know they all felt happy and beautiful made me so happy. As for coverage, she used traditional application and did so much amazing color-correction work (on me at least) the makeup felt SO light and comfortable but lasted all day! I was shocked we didn't have to use airbrushing but Amanda is just that amazing! Book her, I promise you'll be so so glad you did.

(As did my bridesmaids, mom and MIL.) All night, people were commenting on how beautiful all of our makeup looked and how natural it was. Stressing over your makeup is not something you’ll have to worry about for your big day if you book with Amanda!
