Special Occasion/Bridal Team

I began my journey 16 years ago becoming a professional makeup artist. Training at Rizzeri to be a licensed esthetician to working the runway at New York fashion week has given me the experience to provide and execute the vision of her clients. I have met some amazing people encouraging me to pursue my dreams of building a team that shares in my passion. With the support of family and friends Looks and Lashes beauty was created! My mission is to make each person feel special, comfortable and most of all beautiful. Anything from soft to full glam can be achieved for your special occasion.

I professionally began my career working for MAC Cosmetics in 2008, shortly after graduating from Jean Madeline Aveda Institute.  Since working for MAC, I moved from Philly to South Jersey and established my family of 6.  All while  continuing my love for makeup and beauty.  Makeup is not only my creative outlet, but also my balance in life.  It allows me to do what I Absolutely love, making my clients feel beautiful. My years of experience have granted me an understanding of face structures and features, skin tones and conditions, and applying the makeup to look both flawless and long wearing.  My makeup looks are versatile to the request of what exactly my client is looking for.  Consulting with my clients, I'm skilled in understanding the look they desire or what I like to recommend. My makeup kit includes a multitude of cosmetic lines that are consistently growing from all the new products and trends.  I love learning new styles and techniques that add to the beauty of my application and in return gives you the best experience.  I look forward to working with you!

I started in the industry after graduating from the Rizzieri aesthetics program in 2006. I was drawn to makeup finding it gave me an outlet to explore my artistic abilities. I worked in a high-end salon for 14 years as a manager and makeup artist. These years gave me the foundation to blossom as a professional make up artist and also understand the business aspect of the industry as well. I specialize in a wide arrange of applications such as but not limited to bridal/bridal parties, proms/formals, mitzvahs/Sweet 16’s/ Quinceañeras, engagement photos, maternity photo shoots, baby and bridal showers, tv appearances/professional head shots, and even dabbling in some Halloween/theater make up. I truly have a passion for makeup and helping my clients feel and look their best. I love being a part of someone’s special day as I consider myself an empath and thrive on the positivity of these major life moments. I take pride in my consultation and listening to what my client is looking to achieve. I then cultivate the look by combining my clients vision with my professional opinion(experience) and artistry. I am constantly perfecting my craft by trying new products, following what’s trending in the industry, as well as continuing education with both peers and professional artists. I look forward to achieving your vision for the next big moment.

I love all things beauty especially makeup. From a younger age I have always enjoyed playing with makeup. I was an art major in school and landed my first makeup job while I was in high school as the counter girl at Estée Lauder. I wanted to further my career with makeup so I got a job at Sephora and I really blossomed there. I spent 6 years learning so much and also educating others on tips and techniques. Fast forward I then worked for MAC Cosmetics and my makeup artistry and product knowledge skyrocketed. I absolutely loved doing other peoples makeups of all different skin tones which eventually led me into doing weddings. Now for the past 9 years I have been doing bridal makeup and bridal parties and I couldn’t love it more! It never feels like a job to me because I get to meet and connect with some really amazing clientele. Even working in the industry I’ve met some really talented hair stylists and makeup artists. My goal is to make you look and feel like your absolute best self! Because when we look good we feel good and I definitely feel that when I do makeup on people and I can make them feel their best!

I have always said that I was born with scissors in my hand. I grew up watching my dad as a Stylist owning and operating his own salon in the area for forty-five years. I remember sitting and watching him with clients, cutting and styling hair. I will never forget that feeling, and thinking, “That’s what I want to be when I grow up”. After attending beauty school at Rizzieri in 1989, I immediately began doing hair at a small salon in Cherry Hill. Two years later, I found my real home at a salon in Marlton, in which I spent fifteen years and built a clientele that would soon become family. I performed cutting, coloring, formal hair styles, and blow dries. Formal hair styles were always something that came easy to me. I love creating new looks for all occasions, while given the opportunity to bring pictures to life. Most people have pictures to share with their stylist, especially brides, and it is my goal to bring your vision into a reality! This industry has been very kind to me, and I value all the connections that I have made thus far. Looks and Lashes is an honor to be a part of. Every day I am surrounded by pure talent. Weddings are so much fun and are such a positive environment. The privilege of doing a bride’s hair and their party is a gift. As I reflect on the last thirty-two years, I can truly say my passion for my work is as strong as the day I started. I look forward to being a part of your wedding experience.

I’m Amanda and I’ve been passionate about all tings beauty since I was 9!

I’ve been doing freelance bridal hair and make-up for over 10 years, which allows me to do what I love, but it’s flexible for my busy schedule.

I would love to give you the hair of your dreams on your wedding day!

I am always keeping up on the latest hair trends and furthering my education to put out my best work and simply because I have a passion for my craft and genuinely enjoy creating beautiful hairstyles. For me, it’s not just about doing your hair on your special day, it’s about the people I meet, the friendships I made, and truly being a part of something special to you and making you feel your best, because as I always say, “if you look good, you feel good!”
