I fell in love with makeup at my Granny Zula’s side, growing up in Georgia with a dream bigger than the southern skies.

By 24, I packed my bags and chased that dream all the way to New York City. It took nearly a decade of grit and grace, but eventually, my work made its way onto the pages of Harper’s Bazaar, New York Magazine, and even the cover of Rolling Stone with Fiona Apple. Seeing my artistry on the runways of New York Fashion Week was unforgettable.

I’ve had the joy of working with icons like Sarah Jessica Parker, Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, and Isabella Rossellini. One of the greatest honors of my career was creating looks for Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, and Joan Baez at the Grammys. I’ve also served as a spokesperson for Max Factor and Bourjois, and made national TV appearances alongside some of the beauty industry’s top editors.

But no matter how far I’ve traveled or how glamorous the moment, my mission has always stayed the same: to create space where women feel truly seen, celebrated, and radiant in their own skin. Because beauty isn’t just about how we look—it’s about how alive, powerful, and graceful we feel.

  • Amanda Christan is not only an experienced, talented, and sure-handed makeup artist, she also has a remarkable ability to connect with people and put them at ease. From the first time we talked on the phone and throughout our trial session, Amanda Christan had an uncanny knack for knowing just what I needed and wanted while delivering it with charm, humor, and the kind of enthusiasm that comes from doing what you love. She showed the same sensitivity and insight with my mother and my mother-in-law on the day of my wedding. The atmosphere she created was warm and relaxed. We left for the wedding looking our best and still looking like ourselves. I could not recommend her more highly.

  • “The minute I spoke to Amanda Christan on the phone I knew I had to work with her!” I met Amanda the week before our wedding at her beautiful home for our test run. She made me feel so relaxed (I really needed this with the wedding just days away) and the environment was so peaceful and warm, it was one of my favorite memories of that week. She even had space for my husband to chill and relax and he loved it too....he didn't want to leave!! Then came the wedding day and Amanda Christan was my saving grace the day of the wedding. It was a bit stressful, but the minute Amanda Christan stepped in she brought a sense of peace and comfort that we all needed. All my bridesmaids loved her as I knew they would. I was a bit of a mess because of some hiccups we had with hair that day, but she just kept me grounded and didn't take any of my stress personally and just stayed calm and did a beautiful job on all of us. She definitely loves what she does, she takes great pride and care in her work and it shows. I would 100% recommend Amanda Christan to any bride or anyone wanting the best makeup artist, but beyond that, the most beautiful person inside and out.

  • Amanda Christan is truly the most talented makeup artist I have worked with. She did an absolutely AMAZING job on the makeup for my mom and I on my wedding day. Amanda Christan is a beautiful person both inside and out who takes great pride and care in her work and clients. I felt she really took the time to get to know me through our consult so that my makeup reflected who I was. "
