About

I focus on every aspect of the face through defining brows, contouring and highlighting facial features, applying lashes with precision, creating eyeshadow looks that make the eyes stand out, etc. I'm also very detail-oriented. You will never find me trying to rush through a session just to finish. I take my time because I have a good time doing what I love - makeup! Definitely being able to see the surprised reaction of my clients' face after the makeup application! I don't let my clients see their face until after I'm done! I love how their confidence boosts instantly!

This review is almost two years too late but I just realized this app is still on my phone! :) That being said - I need to still sing Ami’s praises! She was amazing, I can still look back at my wedding pictures and see what an amazing job she did: my husband smashed cake in my face and it still survived his shenanigans. Ami was punctual, and she did an amazing makeup job. I believe we airbrushed and she did a pre-styling first as well.

Ami was absolutely awesome. We were running around frantically trying to get ready for my 6pm wedding and she kept us on schedule with our makeup. She also went above and beyond with helping take photos of me and my bridesmaid while I was getting dressed. She was so kind, absolute professional, and her makeup was superb!

Ami was an absolute delight to work with. I tend to be sensitive to having my face touched, particularly my eyes, so I was concerned I would be way too jumpy for her to be able to do my makeup effectively. However, she was able to work around it and get it all done! My makeup was fantastic - it gave me some polish without making me look like an entirely different person. If I needed to have my makeup done again, I would definitely hire Ami!

I could not be more grateful for finding such amazing makeup artists for my wedding. I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to makeup (I have done my own makeup for all of my brothers weddings instead of getting it done) but she made me feel so beautiful without being over done. My main concern was if she'd be able to cover up a few blemish scars and she completely did! My bridesmaids and I were beyond pleased and would use her a million times over. Thank you so much !!!

Hired on Thumbtack

When I was looking for someone to do my makeup for my wedding, I turned to Thumbtack. I expressed interest in a few makeup artists. Ami was the first one to respond. She was open to answer any questions. She was open to phone calls. Ami was not pushy at all. She clearly takes pride in her craft. The day of the wedding, Ami did my makeup as well as my daughters and a friend. She listened to what our preferences were (I.e. colors, lashes, etc.). We were all SO pleased with how we looked. She’s is a gifted makeup artist. I would go back to her in a heartbeat.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I get asked a lot if I offer hair as well. YES, I work with a team of both hairstylists and makeup artists.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, I watch a lot of makeup artists on YouTube. I also try to go to as many makeup artistry workshops that are being offered around my Chicagoland area. Utilizing a little bit of everyone's techniques and never being closed minded is the best way to grow as a makeup artist. I'm also attending Tricoci University as a licensed esthetician/makeup artist, and I graduate October 2018.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always thought it was so amazing to see these makeup transformations on What Not To Wear. I would practice on my mom as a little girl but never thought I'd be as good as the artists on the show. One day I came across a makeup artist named Makeup Geek on YouTube. She was so inspiring because I saw how much she was inspiring all her viewers. I learned the foundation of what I needed to know from her on how to apply makeup and how to inspire others.
