AMBER AMOS
Meet Amber Amos, ARDELL’S Beauty of the Week.
Amber is an Unproblematic chaotic Queen and is sharing her beauty secrets with us!
| AR: | Tell us about yourself. |
| AA: |
I am a makeup artist originally from Chicago, lived in NY for almost a decade, and now based in LA. I’ve been doing makeup for over 12 years, but now shifting my focus to content creating. |
| AR: | Describe your earliest beauty memory. |
| AA: |
I used to sneak into my oldest sister's room as a kid and play in her makeup while she slept. |

| AR: | Who had the biggest beauty influence on you growing up? |
| AA: |
Probably my sisters, a few pop stars and female rappers, but mainly my sisters. Oh, I did want to be Moesha when I grew up lol |
| AR: | What is something that you no longer believe about beauty that you once did? |
| AA: |
That it’s one size fits all. There are many different ways to get the outcome you're trying to achieve. |

| AR: | How do you define beauty today? |
| AA: |
For me beauty is defined as the things you do to make you feel confident and good, from the inside out. Much deeper than just surface makeup but prioritizing your overall well-being. |
| AR: | Do you have any favorite beauty practices that you swear by? |
| AA: |
I’m a Sag with commitment issues, I don’t swear by most things lol. The only thing I swear by is washing your face twice a day lol, and never sleeping in makeup. |
“I love the Wispies, they give the perfect accent to a glam look. Fun fact: Mariah Carey introduced them to me!”
– Amber Amos
| AR: | When do you feel most beautiful? |
| AA: | Truly, all the time lol. I wake up a baddie, I go to sleep, and on my worst day…I’m secure in the fact…she’s still a baddie lol. |
| AR: | What’s your go-to makeup or skin care routine? |
| AA: | I keep it pretty simple to ensure I stick to it. So, my skin-care routine is the basics. Wash, tone, serum, moisturizer, topped with SPF during the day and maybe a face oil at night. I try to exfoliate twice a week. Emphasis on try lol |
| AR: | What is the best beauty tip you’ve ever discovered? |
| AA: | I think my favorite beauty tip is to let your concealer dry down before you blend. Allows for optimal coverage and long-wear. |
| AR: | What is your favorite beauty trend right now? |
| AA: | Honestly, I’m loving the increase in glowing skin and prioritizing skincare over heavy matte complexion looks. |
| AR: | Do you listen to music when you get ready? If so, who is on your playlist? |
| AA: |
Truly I’m typically running late when getting ready lol Sooo its usually reruns playing on the TV. But currently I’m somewhere between Drake + 21 Savage ‘Her Loss’ and SZA ’SOS’, always leaving space for my female rap girlies. |
| AR: | In addition to making people feel beautiful, how do you like to spend your free time? |
| AA: | It depends, sometimes I’m all about an adventure, random fun outings, and dinners. But also, at any given moment I enjoy being home alone catching up on shows. |
| AR: | What would someone never guess about you? |
| AA: | Well, if I told you that…then they’d be able to guess it about me lol. |

| AR: | What is one of your favorite inspirational quotes? |
| AA: | “Don’t go for the Okie Doke’” - My Mom |
| AR: | Describe what the perfect "day off" looks like to you. |
| AA: |
Waking up with no alarm, no one talking to or reaching out to me before 11am. And just letting the day and adventures progress organically. No fuss. |
| AR: | What’s next for you? |
| AA: | Next for me! Becoming America’s Next Top Content Creator lol. More creative content driven projects, re-focusing on my beauty content page and site (OurBeautyEdit), and of course growing and nurturing my podcast A&B Conversation, available on all streaming platforms and YouTube! |
