i’m amanda devon,
My journey as a makeup artist began in 2011 while working at Sephora in a Chicago suburb near my hometown. Over seven incredible years there, I had the privilege of learning from some of the industry's top artists and working with thousands of clients. This experience gave me the perfect foundation to master a wide range of makeup techniques and address various skin concerns.
Eager to deepen my expertise, I pursued my esthetician license in 2017. Understanding skin at its core has been invaluable in my work — After all, as any great makeup artist will tell you, flawless makeup starts with healthy skin. With this knowledge in hand, I confidently launched my freelance business and never looked back.
My passion for beauty started early — I was just four years old when I convinced my mom that I was destined to "make people beautiful." And now, I get to do just that. While I believe true beauty comes from within, there's nothing more rewarding than helping my clients feel radiant, confident, and like the best version of themselves.
“Beauty is power, and makeup is something that really enhances that; it’s a woman’s secret.”

“Amanda is the best! She had done my make up for a photoshoot, when it came time to book vendors for my wedding, I knew exactly who to call for makeup. The make up for absolutely stunning on everybody. She was very professional and her arrival time was prompt. After doing my wedding my cousin and sister in law also booked with her. I have had my make up done by her for five events now and will always call her for any of my make up needs!”

You made my moms day so much better. She is really self conscious and she was almost in tears telling me that you made her feel beautiful. Not just because of the makeup, but also because of how you spoke to her.

“Amanda did my makeup for my sister’s wedding earlier this year in May! Her attention to detail is impeccable! I showed her a picture of what I was looking for and we discussed the everything even down to the smallest detail of what I liked and didn’t like and my makeup turned out exactly how I wanted. She listens to everything you are looking to get done for your makeup and brings it to life. I left her chair feeling like a million bucks and filled with a ton of confidence. I will forever recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist for any event!”

“Amanda is the BEST! She did my makeup as a bridesmaid for a wedding I was in and I immediately fell in love and knew I needed her for my wedding as well. Not only is she the nicest human ever but she is AMAZING at what she does and always captures the exact look I want. She’s done my makeup a few times now and I will definitely continue to reach out to her for future events!”

“Amanda is phenomenal at what she can do with makeup. I had Amanda do my makeup for my engagement shoot and it was flawless. I asked for a matte soft glowy look because I was going to have it on all day, and not only did my face stay matte the whole time, but it wasn’t heavy. Made me look beautiful and the photos looked great. Amanda is also very sweet and is willing to adjust if there isn’t something you like when she is finished doing your makeup. Highly recommend her!!”

“I had come across Amanda after a friend had tagged her and I began to follow her and became obsessed with her makeup looks and her social media vibe. I decided to just one day “treat myself,” and had her do my makeup for no particular occasion other than to feel confident. Amanda was so kind, down-to-earth, friendly and talented. She made me feel at ease as she helped me decide a fun look to do. I hope to have her do my makeup again one day!”

FAQs
-
That’s fine! False lashes can be irritating for some, and in that case, I usually recommend individual lashes. Same effect but a more natural feel. If you’re a bride I highly recommend them.
Lashes are included in my price and will not result in a discount if omitted from the service.
-
You can always add people but you cannot subtract. If you’re unsure at the time of booking I recommend starting low and add-on from there.

Due to high demand and to allow time for the consultation and trial, my professional advice would be anywhere from 3 to 12 months in advance. This also allows time in case I need my partnering artist to assist with larger parties. For all other appointments, I’d recommend within the month but don’t hesitate to reach out and ask!
“Amanda did my makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to book with her! From our initial communication to the trial and then the big day, she was very professional but also so sweet! She has great energy and made me feel so comfortable. Not to mention she is very skilled and did a beautiful job with my makeup, as well as my sister and mom. She really understood the vision of the look I wanted and exceeded my expectations. I got so many compliments on my makeup at the wedding, all thanks to Amanda!!”
