About AmyMirandaMakeup

8 Thumbtack jobs completed

I'm a freelance makeup artist specializing in bridal makeup. I work in Ashburn and travel to surroundings areas, including North Virginia, DC and MD.

Rates:
My rates are tailored with you in mind and the tough economy. They are designed so that anyone can afford quality makeup and talent. I don't request a minimum number of people in your wedding party, and would still work with you only, if that is what you like.

Products used:
Most importantly, the cosmetic products I use are fresh and new, and only the best and top brands are used. All you need to do is sit and be pampered.

Work Ethics:
Being a great makeup artist, is not only about being talented, but also having great work ethics (I won't drop you last minute), being honest, gentle and create a pleasant environment when working with the person sitting on your chair.

Contact:
Feel free to check my website for recommendations and photos of before/after and let's chat.

Have a beautiful day!

    Amy did my makeup for a friend's wedding. Amy was wonderful! She was on time, worked quickly but was never rushed. She evaluated skin coloring and bone structure and then explained her ideas for a perfect bridesmaid look. The results were incredible - beautiful and classy! The makeup lasted well into the night and early morning hours! Amy was extremely professional and very pleasant. I would highly recommend her services!

    Amy Miranda is a wonder! Her warm personality with kindness and talent all form to give you the ultimate make-up experience. You can tell she truly loves what she does and cares about your comfort and satisfaction with her work. The products she uses are high quality and long lasting. She made my moms birthday surprise of make-up and photo shoot a wonderful experience which we both will never forget!

    I recently completed my makeup trial run with Amy- she was amazing! She listened to my thoughts and created an appropriate, tasteful wedding face. She was patient, attentive- and used high quality product. I can't wait for the big day!

    I found Amy through Craigslist and took a chance. Boy, am i glad i did. Her prices were extremely reasonable and she did a wonderful job getting myself, my mom, & 11 year old niece looking amazing for my wedding. The make-up lasted all day...& night, without a touch up. She was even early to my house to get set up. I would definitely recommend Amy to any bride.

    Amy Miranda did the makeup for my wedding and wedding party. She was very professional and her makeup artistry lasted all night. We received many compliments on our makeup. I will most certainly recommend her to anyone needing a professional makeup artist. Her rates are very reasonable too. She also came to my home to do a trial run to go over the type of look I wanted which was very helpful.

    Thank you for making me part of your special day!

    Amy was great to work with. She did a great job with my make-up and my bridesmaids make-up. The products she used were awesome and stayed on all day/night. Amy was very gentle on the face and worked quickly. She stayed on time with the make-up schedule. Would recommend a trial run to help get your look down. Amy made the whole process very easy!

    It was lovely working with you! Thank you!

    Amy did a great job with my make-up and the make-up for my 5 bridesmaids and my mother. She was very responsive and friendly and made me feel comfortable and confident in her abilities from our first email exchange. I sent her a picture of myself and told her a little bit about what I wanted but decided not to do a trial prior to the wedding. I did not regret that decision. My make-up looked great and lasted through a very hot outdoor reception. For my bridesmaids, she gave everyone a different look that worked with their coloring but also complimented the dress color. Each of the girls were happy with the way their make-up turned out. I would definitely recommend Amy.

Question and answer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Selecting a great makeup artist for your special occasion or your wedding is as important as selecting a good photographer but can be sometimes a little tedious. You don't need to try several to realize that you found one. Please feel free to email me and chat with me about your vision and I will give you a consultation prior to working with you. I am talented, professional and have wide experience with all ethnicities and love love love makeup.. Email me and know that you are now in good hands.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. I would like to know how long a person has worked, where she has worked, and get a trial run with her so I can get a feel of what is going to be delivered.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. In this business, you need to see, you need colors, you need to see if the person is talented. Anyone can say anything they want, if you hire them and you realize that their work is not what you expected, you will be disappointed. Try them first, get a trial run and then you can decide.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. What I like the most about my job is the fact that it allows me to create different looks that suit each person. We are unique individuals and each one of us has unique features.. so makeup needs to be tailored to each person individually since what works for one does not necessarily work for another!

Makeup is like art, but also involves kindness and a great spirit. Makeup is my passion.

What is also very important is that today some makeup artists forget to listen to their client. While I listen to you and I hear you, I am also able to tell you what will not work for you. So you get the best of both worlds.. your dream makeup and my vision, incorporated.

In addition, with each event, I feel I am being a part to an important moment in the life of my clients. I sense the joy, anticipation, eagerness, excitement and stress.. so I plan everything the day before and arrive on time and will be flexible to suit your needs.

Q. What is your greatest strength?

A. I am a color specialist. I determine what colors are your colors. Makeup is not only knowing how to apply makeup: it is also selection of various products for each person, applying makeup with great taste and understanding what your client is expecting from you. I will custom blend various products for each person and design a different look for each individual. Not all two people are alike and what works for one does not work for another.

When you sit on my chair, you relax knowing that you are in good hands, and while my approach is gentle, your completed look will make you stand out in the crowd.
