Amanda Vicinelly Pro Makeup Artist

With a primary focus in bridal makeup, she also is available for special occasion makeup and makeup lessons. Welcome to my page! My name is Amanda, the owner of Amanda Vicinelly Pro Makeup Artist. My mother and Grandmother tell me a story of a time when I was a little girl when they asked what I wanted to be when I grow up. I replied, “you know Grandma, it starts with a R”. Puzzled, my Grandma patiently waited for my answer. I said, with so much confidence, “A Rtist!”. For years after I would draw her pictures of horses, I would play in makeup, and loved all my art classes. I graduated from Douglas Education Center in 2009 with high honors as a Licensed Esthetician. While finishing school I was hired as an esthetician at a Medical Day Spa and Plastic Surgery Center. I had an opportunity to develop my skills as a skin therapist and makeup artist. Along with skincare, I fell in love with makeup artistry. My most frequent client, a Bride and her Bridesmaids, brought me so much joy enhancing their natural beauty on their special day. A year later I had an opportunity to join the team of the most prestigious name in makeup. I opened our store as an Education Consultant and had the privilege of being acknowledged for my team building skills and artistry techniques. I was promoted as a manager of several different locations within the Pittsburgh area fostering relationships with many of my clients. I had to ability to learn from the most famous brands in the makeup industry. I was taught the best techniques for all different makeup applications, well-versed on advanced skincare ingredients and products, and learned the delicacies of fragrances. For 6 wonderful years I was dedicated to this incredible retail career, then it was time to devote more time as a mother. I created Amanda Vicinelly Pro Makeup Artist to have the ability to dedicate more time with my clients. In my experience, I have found it to be very common for a woman to feel intimidated by large cosmetic stores, selling advisors, and the endless number of product options. I wanted to be able to customize a consultation for exactly what a woman was looking for, whether it be traveling to a bride on her special day, teaching a group of young women how to achieve makeup enhancing looks, or partnering at a store to provide unbiased product recommendations. I am committed to providing you with a fun, educational, and professional experience! I look forward to meeting you, and hope to have an opportunity to make you feel your absolute best!
