Amanda Hopcraft- Makeup Artist

Amanda was AMAZING! She did everything to the fullest - from responding to emails, to providing me with the best makeup services possible. When I came to my trial, I gave her a few ideas about what I wanted to have done, and she completely understood the look I was going for. Then on my wedding day she blew me away with her speed in skill - she did full makeup for 5 people in 2.5 hours! I have to say, I loved (and still love) the way I looked on my wedding day. I did not look overdone at all, but a better version of the way I look everyday. I will recommend her to everyone I can!

Amanda was awesome. She made me and my wedding party look absolutely amazing. Would Definitely recommend her.

The most important day of your life, your wedding. You want everything to be perfect. With me recently moving into the area I thought that finding a makeup artist and hairstylist would be near impossible. Amanda Hopcraft blew away any expectations I had. All of my bridesmaids were extremely please with the work that was done. All I heard was you got the best of everything; makeup artist, hair stylist, etc etc. Amanda was easy going and did her job with ease. She really seems to enjoy what she does, and that was a huge selling point for me. Passion for your profession is key. My wedding day was amazing and it all started with Amanda and her crew.

She responds quickly to emails and follows through with any promise she makes. I highly recommend her for any special day.

Excellent job. Me and my girls looked absolutely flawless. Very lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Amanda.

Amanda is an extremely talented makeup artist. She was an absolute joy to work with from the first moment we spoke on the phone. I chose to do a makeup trial before my wedding day, which couldn't have gone any better. She asked me what I had in mind for my big day, and I really had no idea. She said that was fine and went to work. I couldn't believe my eyes when she was done and I looked in the mirror! I looked so beautiful!:) I knew I was very lucky to have found her and couldn't wait for my wedding day. Any time I had a question, she would get back to me right away. I was relieved that I had one less thing to worry about! She arrived right on schedule on my wedding day, and did a bridesmaid and the two mom's makeup first. I have never seen them look so beautiful! I was really nervous, and she helped calm me down. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome! I loved my makeup and got compliments all night long. It was also very nice to not have to do too many touchups, as your wedding day is super busy! Amanda is an amazing artistand has a wonderful personality. I would highly recommend her!

Talking about fun, great personality and amazing work! She takes no time to get her job done, all while getting to know you. Her work is amazing, you cannot go wrong with having her as your makeup artist.
THANK YOU MRS. AMANDA!!!!!
MY LADIES & MYSELF WAS BEYOND FLAWLESS, JUST...

Amanda is an amazing makeup artist! She did my makeup for my wedding, and I was so pleased with her work. Not only did she do a great job with my makeup, but she is so friendly and fun to be around! I felt like she was a close friend after only knowing her a short time. She made me feel comfortable and she was easy to talk to about what I wanted my makeup to look like. I would definitely use Amanda again! I already saw my wedding pictures and my makeup looks awesome!

Amanda was amazing at making me look my best for my wedding day!

Amanda and her team were amazing! They were very flexible getting all 11 of us done. They helped make my wedding day run so smooth. Plus...they have great personalities that kept us laughing the whole time!

Amanda is amazing! I could not have asked for more. She is so sweet and does the most beautiful makeup I have ever seen. I felt so pretty on my wedding day! Thank you so so so much!!

Ladies...look no further...Amanda is the one!
I just have to say that Amanda and I hit it off from the get go. She was extremely professional and responsive from my very first inquiry...oh, and did I mention TALENTED!?! I had a destination wedding on Jekyll Island and was very concerned about finding the right person to beautify my bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, and myself for the "Big Day". I am very particular, and like every bride, I wanted everything to be just perfect. I cannot praise Amanda enough. She worked her magic on all of us, and even took care of a couple of more ladies whom were not originally planning on getting their makeup done. It was wonderful that she was able to work them in as well. I must also say that Julia is an amazing hairdresser! Julia can create whatever style you have in mind. She is such a talent and will not let you leave her chair until your hair is perfect! My wedding was a true fairytale- Thanks to these ladies!!

Amanda did my makeup for my wedding as well as my mother and grandmother. She did a fantastic job and I got many compliments on my makeup. Amanda was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I had found out about Amanda's talents through a Google search while planning for my wedding. I needed an artist that was available for a Tuesday morning wedding AND who could travel to a Bed & Breakfast in St. Augustine. I lucked out when I found Amanda's website through Wedding Wire as she was more than happy to work with my early wedding hours AND travel to do my makeup and hair onsite!

I absolutely adored Amanda since the moment I first e-mailed her; she is upbeat, considerate, professional and very genuine. I felt like I knew her immediately! We clicked right away (I was an "Amanda Bride," yeah!) and I was very impressed with her prompt replies to my e-mails and questions. Her rates are very reasonable and to be honest she could charge more! She is amazingly talented at makeup application and an expert in her field. My makeup was beautiful and my guests could not get over how gorgeous I looked! I wish I could have Amanda do my makeup every day! Her airbrushing technique is awesome and will leave your skin looking FLAWLESS all day!!

Before I close my review, I must also thank Amanda's hair stylist, Julia! Julia was absolutely fabulous and knows hair like the back of her hand! She is very creative but can give you the hairstyle you desire by just showing her a picture! My hair was exquisite for the wedding and again, I had no shortage of compliments from my guests! My wedding photos turned out beautifully and I have Amanda and Julia to thank. Also, they both offer hair and makeup trials for a small fee at their salon in Palatka; take advantage of this service! This way you can experiment and find that "perfect look" you want for your wedding day.

Thank you so much Amanda and Julia for making me a gorgeous bride! For those of you who are looking for the experts, look no further; Amanda and her hair stylists are the BEST!! You won't be sorry!! :)

I have one word for Amanda awesome! I would not hesitte to use her again. I am a woman of color and believe me she picked just the right shades for my skin tone. I have received so many compliments on our wedding photo's saying I looked radiant that that was all Amanda she made a 40 year old + bride look fanstatic for my wedding day. Thank you Amanda!!!

Amanda is amazing! She did my makeup, our moms and my entire bridal party. My make-up trial was spot on. Come wedding day, it was even better - in fact it was perfect! I had a couple of breakouts on my cheek from all the late nights and she made them disappear. She was very easy to talk to, she made everyone feel comfortable and most specially - beautiful! We all loved our make-up. My bridesmaids kept saying how they do not feel like they are wearing any yet they feel and look gorgeous. Amanda is extremely talented and I highly recommend her!

Everyone loved my make up.My groom was speechless

I'm so happy that I had Amanda as my make-up artist! She tried something new and bold with my bridal makeup that I requested, and did a fantastic job! Amanda has such a fun personality so it made my wedding day that much more enjoyable! She also was very quick to corrrespond through phone calls and e-mails before the wedding!

Amanda did a wonderful job! Everyone's makeup looked so beautiful and lasted all night :) I am very picky when it comes to makeup because I usually like to do it myself. I don't like too much makeup, but yet I wanted to get it done for my wedding day. Amanda did such a wonderful job making my makeup look so beautiful yet still making me look like Me :) I am so thankful to have had her on my wedding day. Thank you Amanda!!!

Amanda was great! She did an awesome job on my make-up and it looked great! She was so friendly and easy to work-with. I would definitely recommend Amanda!!!

Amanda was amazing and she made me and all my girls feel amazing on my wedding day :)) thank you so much Amanda :))

What does anyone want on their wedding day the most? They want to smile.. ALL DAY LONG.. No matter what doesn't go right, no matter if it was perfect or not.. No matter what happens.. you want to smile. Amanda did just that for me. You made me feel great on the outside with your awesome make-up skills and on the inside knowing I could relax because I was in the hands of a professional.

I highly recommend Amanda. Not only does she do amazing work, she is a very professional to work with. (**Brides professionalism will be your best friend when choosing/working with wedding vendors)

Thanks again Amanda, Connie and Hannah! You truly were a huge part of making my wedding day the greastest day of my life!

:)

Amanda and her crew were fantastic! They made all of my ladies look wonderful! She had to fit us in early in the day, but everyone still looked fabulous well into the night. Several guests asked my mother and mother-in-law, "Who did the makeup?"

My suggestion is to book early!!! This lady is super good and will get booked up quickly!

Amanda is such an easy going girl to work with. She is very professional and has wonderful personality. She did such an amazing job on my make up for my special day. It even turned out better than the trial make up, it that was even possible. Amanda was quick and made it even possible for me to get a quick bite of lunch. She was especially patient and had fun with the flower girls who would not leave my side as she put on my make up. If I have another special occasion, I would love to work with her again.

I booked my appointment with Amanda sort of at the last minute (only about 5 weeks prior to my wedding). She was extremely helpful and accommodating. We did a makeup trial, and a spray tan trial prior to the day. She really listened to what I said I wanted for my make-up and the day-of product was nothing short of perfect. It looked wonderful and it stayed on perfectly all night... in the SUMMER! She was on time, courteous, professional, and fairly priced. Couldn't have been happier!

Amanda was such a wonderful person. She made me feel at ease and made me look like a queen. The makeup lasted all day in blistering heat. Thank you again for helping to emphasize my already existing beauty.

Amanda did such an amazing job on my and all my girls' makeup. It was the perfect mix of sophisticated and flirty! She is so friendly and fun too!
Thank you so much for helping me to look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day. My husband said he was absolutely blown away by how great I looked!

Amanda did my make-up for my wedding and she did an absolutely wonderful job. I think that any one that wants one less thing to worry about on their wedding day to have Amanda do their make-up. I never really wore make up so as my wedding day got closer I had to figure something out and I had ran into Amanda at the store one day and got to talking to her and she said let me do your make-up so you don't have to worry about it. I had many complements on my make-up on my wedding day.

I am not the type of person who dresses up very often and therefore when I considered my hair and makeup, I didn't know what I wanted. My husband, even 6 months later, says that I looked beautiful. I love my wedding pictures and I really loved how I looked. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She was on time, and really listened to everything I said. My bridesmaids were also happy with how they looked!

Oh my, where do I begin! I loved Amanda's work and I enjoyed working with her! Amanda was great, patient, and was able to deal with such chaos. My bridesmaids and myself loved our makeup and it looked beautiful in the photos. I would definitely recommend Amanda's services for any special event. Amanda contacts you promptly and helps you achieve that perfect look that you envisioned for your special day..

I just got married on June 4th and Amanda was absolutely amazing! I have never felt more beautiful in my life and it is all thanks to the unbelievable work that Amanda did. After a week of entertaining guests and some very late nights, as you can imagine I looked very tired and worn out. Amanda made me look like a movie star! I even had terrible tan lines on my chest that she was able to cover up flawlessly! In addition to me, Amanda worked on my 3 other bridesmaids and made them look even more beautiful! I have had countless people comment on my photos about how great our makeup looked! And I couldn't agree more!

Amanda is fabulous to work with! She calmed me down on a very hectic day and she was attentive and precisely on time every time we met! I would recommend Amanda to any bride, if you have her do your makeup you will truly shine on your BIG day!

Amanda did an AMAZING job on my bridal makeup. She took the time to really listen to what look i was going for, which was very natural but defined, and she gave me just that! She made me look like me, only 1,000x better! She also did my mother's makeup and she looked great! The airbrush makeup is soooooooo lightweight, but it also held up VERY well. I even managed to wash my face without disrupting the false eyelashes and they lasted until I removed them the following night.......lol :-)

Amanda is fun, personable, and her communication is fabulous. I would hire her again in a second! Can't recommend her enough!

Where to start! I can't saw enough good things about Amanda and Julia. They were both so incredibly nice, professional, and they did a great job on my makeup, tattoo cover, and hair! I've gotten so many compliments on our pictures and they are not even the professional pictures! I definitely recommend them!!!

Amanda was amazing! I recently got married on April 1, 2011 in Fernandina Beach, Florida. I didnt know may things about the area so I was very blessed to find Amanda to do my makeup, and also travel to me. She was quick in answering all my questions and in accomodating me on my special day. I gave her an idea of what I was looking for and she far exceeded the look I wanted. Not only did she make me look amazing, she was very charismatic and made the morning fun, just laughs and memories that I will always have cherish. I wouldnt hesitate to use he for any future events, I want to feel that pretty again :)

Amanda is amazing! She did my makeup and all my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding. She is super fun and flexible. She did an amazing job and I really felt beautiful for my big day! The pictures turned out spectacular. I really liked the airbrush foundation. I would recommend her to anyone looking to feel extra special on their big day :).

I just got married on November 27, 2010 at the River House in St. Augustine, Fl. Amanda Hopcraft did my bridal makeup as well as most of my bridesmaids. She did an amazing job! This was my first experience with the airbrushed makeup and I am so impressed with it. It looked awesome in all of the pictures and I didn't have to touch it up the entire night. It's flawless. Amanda was very flexible and did our makeup onsite at the Casa Monica hotel. She was very promt, professional and kept us right on schedule. She's super sweet and made everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend her for makeup for any occasion, especially weddings!

Amanda did an amazing job!! I got so many compliments on my makeup!! She was always professional and fun! She gave me a few minutes to relax and forget about all of the stresses of the wedding. She definitely knows what she is doing and has a great knack for knowing what colors and shades to pick to compliment any complexion! An amazing job by an amazing person :-)

These two are awesome! They traveled to us, worked quickly and made sure we looked fabulous. They did exactly what we wanted and were great at calming nerves. They went above and beyond, I had to leave early and they helped my bridesmaids get dressed too! Everyone looked great, I will send pictures as soon as I get them. I would highly recommend the makeup and her partner that does the hair. I can't say enough great stuff about her and you can't beat the price either!!!

Amanda is so nice and professional. She made me feel very comforable and made me look beautiful on my wedding day. She was so flexible by doing exaclty what i wanted while still giving her input. By coming to my hotel room the day of the wedding, it helped keep me stress free. I LOVE the airbrush makeup! It made my skin look flawless and lasted ALL night without making my skin break out. I would recommend Amanda to all of my friends, she is GREAT!

I was very pleased with Amanda's professionalism, quality of work and speed. She did myself and my four bridesmaids in record time and it looked like she spent all day on it. She came highly recommended from a friend of mine. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Amanda provided makeup services for myself and my bridesmaids and we were very pleased with the results. The airbrushing lasted all evening and looked great in the pictures. Very pleased!

Amanda was probably the best person that I could have chosen for our special day. She's so great at what she does, and has the best personality to work with! She showed up, and got straight to work on covering up a BIG tattoo on my arm that wasn't completed yet. It came out so well, and my pictures still came out great! Also, she made me actually look like MYSELF! I was so afraid of going with anyone that would make my girls and I look over done...but I loved it! Words cannot express how satisfied I was working with her, and definitely look forward to working with her in the future, should the need arise! One more thing...if you choose Amanda, ask her about Julia, and her AMAZING hairdresser skills!

Amanda did my makeup as well as my Bridesmaids and we were all very pleased. The airbrush foundation is amazing! We all looked flawless all night and I still looked good the next morning! She is professional, and offers a great service at an even better price!

Amanda did my makeup for my bridal shoot before my wedding and then did mine and my bridesmaids makeup the day of my wedding. It was great working with her! She did an amazing job and kept us all laughing which helped a ton with my nerves!

Amanda and her MIL did our hair and make-up. Both were absolutely wonderful. So easy to work with and lots of fun. Amanda recommended the airbrushing and she was right. My pictures turned out wonderful! Thank you both!

Amanda did an amazing job making me look my absolute best on my wedding day. She traveled to where we were getting ready, was right on time and totally prepared, and in no time at all had beautified my entire bridal party and my mom. She made us all look fabulous without looking weighted down with heavy makeup--her products feel light and look wonderful. She knew just what to do to bring out the best in each girl, and put us all right at ease while she was working. The makeup stayed in place all day, so we looked gorgeous even at the end of the night. I am very glad I had her there on my wedding day, and would recommend her to any bride! Thanks, Amanda!

Amanda did a WONDERFUL job making myself and my wedding party look amazing on my wedding day. She did such an amazing job making everyone look done up, but also still look natural. All of the girls still looked like themselves, which meant a lot. For instance, I have freckles which makes me who I am, and Amanda made sure that I was still done up and also have my freckles showing. The airbrush machine she had, made everyone look flawless as well. She plans the day out where everyone can have their own time and not be rushed. Amanda made everyone look so beautiful and gorgeous, that I had family members who did not plan on getting make up done, change their mind last minute and Amanda still found time to add them in. She is very detailed and very professional. If you dont plan her to do your makeup for any special event that you have, then you're missing out. She even does a trial run with you to make sure you get everything you want and each application is perfect with your skin. She writes everything down, so that it is perfect on your special day. Her price is VERY affordable for what you're getting, and the brand of makeup she uses is top notch too. I will definitely use Amanda for my next special occasion! :)

Amanda was the most amazing, comforting and helpful person to use! She has the professionalism and experience to make you feel comfortable about her choices. She did an outstanding job and I would refer her to anyone to use on their special day!

Manda is a true and dear friend! She was an awesome make-up artist for me and my bridesmaids. I would recommend her to anyone!! The make-up looked great even after cake was smashed into my face lol ;)Thanks Manda for everything.

Amanda did my makeup on my wedding day a few years ago. I am not the type of person who puts a lot of makeup on and was wondering how I would like it. It was a HOT day and we were outside for a long time taking pictures. Let me tell you, my makeup was flawless and lasted the WHOLE day! She did a WONDERFUL job. I was happy I had her do my makeup. It made the pictures turn out great too.

Amanda was wonderful on my wedding day. She was on time and did a wonderful job. She was easy to work with, easy to get a hold of and very professional. Anyone would be luck to get her on your wedding day.

After speaking to several hair/makeup companies in St. Augustine, Amanda had the most reasonable prices for makeup and comparable prices for hair. Myself, 3 bridesmaids. and my mom got airbrush makeup and it was flawless! I had a trial of hair and makeup where I met at their shop in Palatka and they really listened to what I wanted and made sure I was happy before I left. Amanda did our makeup and her mother in law did our hair. I would highly recommend her to others.

Amanda was great! I only give a 4.5 out of 5 on responsiveness because when I intially attempted to contact Amanda she was in the middle of having website updated & going through toe surgery. Long story short, my bridesmaid got ahold of her via phone due to my schedule I was not able to call during day hours. Beatiful natural looking skin, I have freckles & was not willing to hide them. Talked me into fake eye lashes, which I was completely against, however glad I decided to take her up on them. Does make close up pictures better! Lasted all night. Bridesmaids, mother & grandmother all love it. My neices also got just a little blush, complimentary! Too cute

Amanda was absolutely awesome and worked with me despite some "drama" that day. I was pleased with her quality and flexibility. Definitely a "would recommend"

Amanda did an awesome job on the day of my wedding. Not only did she help me organize almost every aspect of my wedding, but she also did my make-up as well. I had so many wonderful compliments from guests about how beautiful I looked. Most importantly I was very happy about how perfect the day turned out.

I had the privilege of working with Amanda at a past wedding and, I must say, this bride looked amazing! Amanda and her staff was not only fun and professional but the bride and her girls couldn't have looked better.

Amanda has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I would have to say that my biggest endorsement is that when my own wedding came around I couldn't think of anyone that I wanted to do my makeup other than her, and of course it turned out amazing! All I can say is book her and you won't regret it!

Amanda's work really speaks for itself! She's a very talented makeup artist, but in addition to her skills she's also a great person. She's friendly, and she's seen it all at weddings. She has a way of making brides feel comfortable (and STUNNING) on their wedding day!

Amanda has been an absolute dream to work with. Her before and afters are amazing and have had nothing but happy brides with the help of her and her impeccable work. She really understands make-up for photography and saves me a ton of time with editing. She is defiantly worth the investment!

Amanda does beautiful flawless make up, that brings out the beauty of each of her clients. She is wonderful to work with and she makes you feel like you have been friends for years. I recommend her to any bride who wants gorgeous makeup. I have personally photographed her clients and it is amazing what she can do!!!!
