i’m amanda devon,

I began my makeup journey back in 2011 while working at a Sephora in a Chicago suburb near my home. In the 7 years of employment there, I had the luxury of meeting and learning from some of the top names in the game. Working with thousands of clients and products provided me with the perfect platform to master my skill with any makeup look or skin concern.

I knew I wanted to expand in the world of beauty so in 2017 I decided to further my education and expertise and sought to become a licensed esthetician. Learning the fundamentals of skin was extremely important in understanding each client’s needs and what works best for them. And as any great makeup artist will tell you, your makeup is only as good as the skin underneath it. From there I was confident in jumpstarting my freelance business and started growing on my own.

I’ve always had a deep passion for beauty since I was a little girl. I had convinced my mother at the age of 4 that I was going to “grow up to make people beautiful.” And here I am doing just that. Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone feel truly beautiful inside and out. Although I believe true beauty is from within, connecting with my clients and making them feel their highest potential is truly the most rewarding part of my career.

“Beauty is power, and makeup is something that really enhances that; it’s a woman’s secret.”
— Charlotte Tilbury

 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!
