PORTFOLIO
Social media can change the way we see ourselves, especially when we’re wearing makeup. Between AI, filters, and all the editing tools out there, it’s easy to start believing that the right products will leave us poreless, without a fine line or crease in sight.
But… we’re human! We all have pores. Our faces move. We smile, we laugh, we squint in the sun, and our skin has texture. Yes, some people have incredible skin thanks to great skincare, aesthetic treatments, genetics, or a mix of all three. But that’s not the norm, and guess what? That’s perfectly okay!
Embracing our natural selves can be hard with everything we see online. But your texture, your lines, your freckles, are part of what makes you, you.
So the next time you catch yourself comparing your skin to a filtered image, take a breath and remember: real skin is real life. 🤍

Y’all know that I love a good MOB/MOG glam. She wanted a very minimal look, and she wanted to feel like herself just a little dolled up. 💞

It’s never “just doing makeup”, and this moment was a special glimpse of that. I get to be a small part of some of the most special days of people’s lives. I get to experience moments like this. I get to be there to uplift, support, encourage, laugh with, cry with, some of the most incredible women. While this may not be my only career, it is deeply meaningful to me and I’ll never take it for granted. This is a moment that will stick with me 🤍
I am so thankful for every client that chooses me, trusts me, and supports me. 🤍

I had to share this photo of one of my brides last weekend. She asked for makeup that still looked and felt like herself, just polished + elevated.
I’ve been getting requests for these types of looks lately, and the artist within me that started out in the 2016ish era of makeup (🥲), is absolutely loving it.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a full glam. But these timeless, soft looks have been so fun to create lately 🤍

Cydnee was such a STUNNING bride, and I cannot express how much I enjoyed being part of such a special day for her.
I love seeing the difference in trial runs VS day of looks. She wanted her eyes to look more open so we didn’t smoke out the bottom lash line fully, and it made her look even more angelic.
Trial runs are so important because it allows you to really figure out how you feel in the makeup you want, and allows for any adjustments + little tweaks to make sure your wedding day look is everything you dreamed of. ✨
Also, I don’t know why the lighting is looking crazy in one of these clips. 🤦🏼♀️🫠
#mua #tennesseemua #makeupartist #nashvillemua #bridalmakeup
Each different skin type requires certain techniques to allow it to look its best while wearing makeup.
With mature skin, you can’t get away with using as much product. The correct products applied in thin layers with with proper technique, creates a seamless look that enhances.
My client also had extremely sensitive eyes and she explained this to me in our initial consultation. Due to this, it wad very important how I applied certain items to ensure her comfort. We were both so happy with the end results 💗

2025 was a year filled with such an enormous amount of growth + changes.
When I first picked up a makeup brush, something changed for me. I was in high school, I wasn’t good at it yet, but it clicked for me. For years makeup was something I did on off while navigating my own storms, raising my daughter, & surviving. I showed up inconsistently. I treated it more like a hobby. I was not yet the artist or woman I am today.
A year ago, something shifted. After a few years of intentional growth and honest reflection, I realized makeup isn’t just something I love. It’s my calling. So I made a choice to pursue this professionally, to show up fully, & to build a business I am truly proud of.
In light of this, I’m starting this year officially rebranding as Amanda Mitchell MUA. For me, this isn’t just about a name change. This is closing the chapter on who I was, & fully stepping into who I’ve become. Carlton represents a past I’ve overcome, a journey I’m grateful for, but not the identity I want to carry forward.
I’m sharing this as a pivotal point for myself, & because so many have known + recommended me as AmandaCarltonMUA. If you’ve booked with me through the years or just shown any support, thank you for being part of my journey. It means so much to me. I’ve stayed booked this past year off of word of mouth, & I am just getting started.
Exciting things are happening behind the scenes. Here’s to new beginnings, to rebuilding, to aligning with our selves, & to sharing your craft. 🤍
I swear I walk away saying “this was one of my favorite brides” too often, but the connections I get to make through my work are so incredible and I cherish each one. Erica was so wonderful to work with, I felt obliged to share a bit of the fun we had creating this look 😝

Why did I not purchase the @painted.co palette sooner?! In love

Glamorous? No. Necessary? 1000%.
So much work that artists and business owners do, never see social media, but it is still so important!
Running your own business requires you to really hone in on yourself, and do the behind the scenes work to reach that next level.. evennnn (and especially) when you don’t “feel” like it 🥲✨
#mua #tennesseemua #makeupartist #nashvillemua #makeup #smallbusinesslove #smallbusinessowners
Truly listening to my brides, getting to be the person they trust to do their makeup for such an important day, the connection I make with each and every one of them, all the things I bring with me ‘just in case’ so that I can potentially allow them to worry about one less thing, it is all so special to me.
Thank you to every bride and client that has kept me so booked and busy this year. I’ll never take for granted getting to do something that brings me such joy. 🤍

Jezyca was such a joy to work with. This whole bridal party was 🤍
She rarely wears makeup, so she wanted to feel a little glam while still feeling like herself. I chose a soft, warm color palette to complement her beautiful features, applied two cluster lashes to the end of her lashes to open the eyes without feeling too heavy, and very lightly filled her brows to maintain their natural shape/color.
I prepped the skin with @firstaidbeauty facial radiance pads, and used @embryolisseusa lait cream as always.
Also someone during the day said she looks like Lily Collin’s from Emily in Paris, and I can’t unsee that 😍

I know finding a brand of colored lenses that are trustworthy is hard, so I wanted to share my experience.
After soaking my lenses in contact solution for 24+ hours, I tried them on. They were so comfortable, easy to put in, and seem like really good quality. So far I am loving them ✨

I know other artists feel me on this. 🥲
I was up so late trying to complete this look (toddler mom, some nights she struggles), that I never actually got a video that I liked and didn’t sound delirious in 💀
I wasn’t going for any particular look here, just making it up as I go, but definitely giving Sylvanas Windrunner vibes ✨

Let’s talk lighting ✨
When applying makeup, using studio/professional lighting allows your artist to see every detail - the undertones, textures, and precise blends that might be missed in softer light. It helps ensure that a flawless application is created, even up close.
But most of the time, you’ll be wearing your makeup in natural light like daylight, car selfies, brunch with friends, etc. That’s why during/after doing a makeup application under this bright lighting, you want to take a step back and see how everything looks without it.
Studio lighting gives precision, Natural light gives perspective. Together they ensure your makeup looks beautiful no matter where you are 🌞

When my bestie said she was throwing a surprise, whimsical tea party for her mother in laws birthday.. I knew I wanted to create a look for her✨
She typically doesn’t really wear makeup, so we wanted to create something enchanting, while also maintaining a soft/neutral glam style. I WISH I would have gotten better footage and brought my mirror instead of the palette I had her use 💀
I loved getting to do this 💫

This was truly heart warming for her and our entire neighborhood. There is so much negativity in the world, that I feel it’s truly important to share the positive to remind us that it does exist. Acts of kindness can change lives. And I know this will be a day she will remember forever. 🥹

My first time filming (most) of the process on a wedding morning! I recorded footage that morning prior to leaving, but I never actually pressed record so love that for me 💀

It isn’t easy sharing your art for the world to see, it feels so vulnerable. Regardless of the art you create, you continually see other artists doing what you do on social media, you see artists whose work you admire so much that you wonder if you’ll ever be that good.
The most important part is to remind yourself that we are all in different places and different phases. That your work is unique to you, and the ability to create + chase your passion should never be taken for granted. It is such a gift.
One of my favorite quotes that has truly stuck with me - “The woods would be very silent if only the best birds sang”
So keep singing, keep creating, keep chasing your dreams, keep staying true to you. Find freedom in simply being yourself. 🤍

Bridesmaid makeup that lasts ✨
SKIN PREP - It is truly so important in any makeup look. Your makeup will look as good as the skin it is put on top of. When creating a long lasting look, you want to prep the skin according to their skin type + products you intend to use on top (foundation, concealer, etc). I lightly exfoliate, opt for a very hydrated base, and a primer that helps prevent sweat from breaking up the products.

Almost didn’t post this because I forgot to switch my camera settings (story of my life), but she’s simply too beautiful not to post 😍
Loved getting to give Abby a soft glam look for her photo shoot 🤍

Being a makeup artist is not only creating beautiful custom looks, it is also making sure to keep it clean + hygienic while doing so 🧼
As a Pro MUA this looks like ⬇️
• Having a separate set of brushes for each client
• Using beauty sponges + powder puffs on that client ONLY and gifting it to them or tossing it
• Deep cleaning your brushes once you get back to your studio after every use
• Always using disposables
• Never using brushes on open sores/wounds (unless you plan to toss that baby afterwards)
• Never using the applicator in foundations, lip glosses, mascaras, etc. directly on your client
• Deep cleaning every single item, inside and out. This includes every nook and cranny in & outside of your kit
• I personally use disposable skin-like medical tape on the back of my hand to mix product and apply a new one for each client
I could go on even further, but you get the picture.
Maintaining these standards isn’t just about professionalism - it’s about showing up with love and care for every single person who sits in their chair.
I wanted to share this to give a little behind the scenes of what artists do to make sure you are getting the best experience 🤍

My phone stopped recording and I am absolutely kicking myself for not getting a video OR pictures of the final look on this stunning bride.
Through communication + a trial run we created this custom full glam look and I am in love 😍🤍

That whole “when you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life” is quite true.
Of course there are daunting parts of any job ever, BUT when the good outweighs anything else ten-fold.. I just feel so blessed 🫶🏻🤍
