beyond skin deep

Amy is a seasoned makeup artist of 26 years, who has worked for dozens of cosmetic lines, celebrities, high end salons, TV, makeup/bridal agencies, esthetic services, fantasy/theatrical jobs, and takes on personal clients.   Founded in 2018, AMD Beauty llc. began immediately after her 18+ year tenure with MAC Cosmetics, the last 4 years of which she worked at Chicago's original MAC PRO store.  Amy is seasoned and knowledgeable in all genres of makeup. She really listens and looks "into" a makeup and her client's needs, rather than just "at" makeup and her client!  She listens to your needs and executes accordingly.  She is efficient, reliable, and personable.  

"I believe communication is key.  I have learned that it is the most important part in executing a makeup, the dialogue I have with my client about a specific result sheds light on expectation vs. reality, especially when looking into a specific tear, or filtered image."

"I also feel it is so important to make a connection and of course enjoy the experience!   Getting Beyond Skin Deep is what it's about.  The delicate dance between

Learning something and leaving  something is how I work.   Then there's the glow and beauty that comes from within when a makeup is finished and a person loves how they feel and what they see...lovely!"

"The ability Amy has to dissect and replicate a look shows true talent, She explained to me how she looks into an image in layers of content, lighting, color, texture and how they all manipulate each other,  rather than looking "at" the image, and it blew my mind" --BDD
