Kind words about my work

“I was so, so lucky to have Amanda Christian Burran do my and my mother's makeup for my wedding. She is a GEM in every way.”

First of all, Amanda Christian is an extraordinarily talented makeup artist beloved by brides, their families, friends, toddlers, venues, wedding coordinators, and more.

Her transformative way with makeup is pure magic and art. I looked like the very best version of myself! I am a TV producer and look at makeup with a professional eye, and every single picture made my heart sing, as I looked just as I felt -- glowing and happy.

But just as important as having great makeup on your wedding day, the energy Amanda Christian brings to your event is just wonderful. She is warm, engaging, thoughtful, and beyond lovely. We had a highly stressful and serious family situation that happened just weeks before our wedding that put our plans into a tailspin.

Amanda was a godsend during this chaos -- not only did she go with the flow with an unexpected change of morning venue, but helped guide me during a last-minute wedding snafu. Her experience with weddings and big events, and life, is invaluable. She is a true pro, and absolutely set the tone for our wedding day, and was a joy to work with, an experience for which we are forever grateful.

If you are lucky enough to find Amanda Christian - book her! You won't be sorry. She is the best!

“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.

“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. 
She spent hours to create a look that I was excited and comfortable with. She was so thorough, taking notes and pictures after our consult, which put my mind at ease going into the day of. On my wedding day, I truly felt like a supermodel. I can't stop marveling at my pictures and at how stunning yet natural my makeup came out. A perfect balance of being “done up” without looking or feeling overdone. 
On top of being incredibly talented, what also sets Amanda Christan apart is her sweet and peaceful yet engaging personality. She makes everyone around her feel comfortable and worked well with the other vendors I had vying for time on my wedding day. It was an absolute joy to have her share the most important day of my life.

“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.
