Working with Amber is an absolute dream, I don’t think there could possibly be a more talented, beautiful inside-and-out makeup artist in the world. My day-to-day life doesn’t invo...
lve too much makeup, and so when I first visited Amber for my trial, I was a bit apprehensive. I couldn’t find any Pinterest photos that accurately portrayed what I wanted—probably because I didn’t really know what I wanted—and so there I was, empty handed and clueless. Amber made me feel at ease the second I met her. She talked to me for a few minutes about our wedding, the vision, my dress... and it was as if she had known me for years—when she did my makeup, she was spot on. I felt like me, just the most beautiful version of me.
Fast forward to my eyelash appointment, and I was blown away at what a difference they make! Now, two weeks post wedding, I’m already trying to find excuses to keep them longer. Not only are the lashes beautiful, but it was so fun to spend a couple of hours with Amber, chatting about our lives and my upcoming wedding... by the time the wedding came around, I felt so comfortable with her, as if we were friends who had known each other for years.
Fast forward again to our wedding. My mom had been communicating to me for weeks at that point that she was very unsure about the idea of getting her hair and makeup professionally done. My mother-in-law had her makeup done first, and after seeing how beautifully Amber executed my MIL’s subtle look, my mom was all in! And Amber just blew her away. At that point, I knew how amazing she was, and so although I wasn’t surprised in the least that my mom felt as beautiful as she ever has, it was so special to me that my mom was able to experience feeling that way. Amber made our entire group feel like supermodels—she perfectly executed the different looks that each of us were going for... from a more organic look for me, to a more glam look for my sister, to a little lip gloss for the flower girls. She is incredibly kind and fun and really added such a joyous element to my wedding morning. And she is brilliantly talented at what she does. Put simply, she is the best! <3
Amber did the makeup for me, my bridesmaids, sister-in-law, and mother, as well as a tattoo coverup. She was AMAZING. She was quick to respond to emails, very professional and wa...
s very comfortable to work with. The make up was so beautiful. My sister in law admitted she was nervous because she is a little bit of a "control freak", but was very happy with the make up. We had airbrush, and it did exactly what she promised. It looked as good at the end of the night as it did at the beginning. I wish I could have her do my make up everyday! I would recommend her 100%.
I first met Amber at my girlfriends wedding when she did her make up, wow! I was blown away! I had to have here for my wedding! Lucky me she was available for my wedding date! I ne...
ver had airbrush make up before and she did it for my wedding day! OBSESSED! I felt so beautiful, she truly has a gift at what she does! And my bridesmaids! BEAUTIFUL!!!! They LOVED their makeup and all looked so amazing. After my wedding, I got tons of complements on how stunning me and my bridal party looked, I was so pleased with my make up, I am booked with her to get my make up done for other events throughout the year!!! You will not be disappointed if you use Amber, and you will feel at ease and totally relaxed in her hands!!! She is so sweet, and her studio was perfect for us girls to all hang out, eat snacks, drink memosa's and get pampered!
Amber did my makeup for my wedding 2 weekends ago, along with my maid of honor, mother and grandmother. After 1 (very bad!) makeup trial with another company before her, we were al...
l a little cautious to try someone else. Amber FAR exceeded our expectations and we all looking amazing! The makeup lasted throughout the night and each of us received compliments on a job well done. I would highly recommend Amber any day. :)
Amber and her Makeup Memories team are beyond amazing! She did makeup for myself, my 8 bridesmaids and my mom in under 6 hours - while being 7 months pregnant! We all looked amazin...
g and felt even better! I think we all know how much better you feel when you know you look great!
Amber is very responsive and reliable, she answers emails quickly which is so important while planning a wedding! I would recommend her 1000 times out of 1000!!!!
I would highly recommend Amber for makeup, she has a beautiful personality and she knows a lot about makeup application. I think she takes her job very seriously, and will do an am...
azing job on you and your bridesmaids, as she did for my wedding! :)
Amber was such a joy to work with! I lived out of town and could not go to trail, Amber and I contacted each other via email. She assured me that she would not leave until I was 10...
0% satisfied, and that she did! She did such an amazing job. I loved my make up, and so did all my bridesmaids. At first I think some were questioning the price, but in the end the all felt it was well worth it. It rained but our make up lasted all night and we looked great into the morning. Amber was so sweet, she showed up early and work quickly.
I haven't had my make up professionally done many times, but if I had to get it done everyday, I would go to Amber. One of the warmest, sweetest and funniest people I have every me...
t, Amber is quick and a master at her craft. Watching her do my makeup in the mirror was like art. You can clearly tell that this is her passion and it shows in the final product. I had a make up trial with Amber prior to the big day so I had the opportunity to work with her several times. She is just fantastic and I can't say enough nice things about her.
I was unsure about getting airbrush make-up but it was the best idea ever. I looked flawless the day of and even through the evening. Considering it was New Year's and we never s...
topped dancing I am so glad I used her. When people saw me and then later my pictures the first thing they said was your make-up looks so good.
I have been to a lot of weddings where the make-up artist uses a lot of makeup so the bride looks nice in the pictures but doesn't take the day of into consideration and they look clownish until it eventually melts away half-way through the reception.
You will NOT have this issue with Amber. She is great to work with and you will look great. I also used Danielle to do my hair as well as the other bridesmaids (who Amanda works with) and she is just as great!
