I’ve had Mandie as my personal Makeup artist for the last 5 years. I met her on set of one of my first indie films and quite honestly was reluctant to have her do my face because as an African American women I've had so many makeup artists mess up my face and makeup because of their lack of experience with women of color. Mandie quickly proved me wrong. Not only is she incredible at what she does, has the experience to make all skin tones look amazing, she’s one of the kindest and funniest people you’ll ever meet. She’s been with me long enough to see my career blossom from makeshift shoots in living rooms all the way to the Grammys, red carpets and special events with other celebrities and A-listers. Not letting her leave my payroll ever! – Malynda Hale, Singer-Songwriter, Actress, Activist, Podcaster

Mandie’s message inspires audiences to take charge of their health and happiness. Though a sensitive and extremely personal area for many, she communicates tangible goals without judgment in a very positive and relatable way. Women walk away more confident, better prepared and ready to take the next steps toward greater wellness and inner peace. – Gillian Lester-George de Montesinos, President, FemCity Milwaukee

I hired Mandie to do my makeup for a fashion photoshoot and she did an amazing job! I have worked with dozens of makeup artists before and I can say that Mandie has a really good eye and is incredibly talented. I am very happy with the results of the shoot. Mandie is also a pleasure to work with, very professional and accommodating. Highly recommend! – Shiina, International Model

Mandie has done hair and makeup for most of the photoshoots of my collections. She usually consults me before photoshoots and that makes me feel very comfortable on the day of shoot. And her makeup always comes out exactly what I want. Very reliable. My collections can’t be completed without her make up!! And we recently found out we have same food taste. (Weird stuff) I love her not just as a makeup artist but also as an amazing person! – Yoshimi House, Designer

I do not know what I would have done without Mandie's craftsmanship, teaching skills AND patience! As a person who has spent most of her life behind the cameras, I truly had to have a hard talk with myself when I switched careers from documentary producer to life-coach and yoga teacher. I realized that if I wanted to change lives, I had to become more way more visible than I was actually comfortable with! This resulted in procrastination way beyond the past due date of delivering all stuff related to me being visible -- especially on camera. This ALL CHANGED when I hired Mandie to 1) do my make-up and 2) teach me how to do my own makeup. This woman is just incredible in her skillset, kindness, knowledge and how to make another woman feel amazing and turn anxiety into self-confidence. I thought that make-up was something superficial and that it was the least of my worries to think about. But I was absolutely wrong! Looking good and feeling self-confident absolutely impacts how I deliver my message and ultimately how others are impacted by that delivery. In other words, I highly recommend Mandie to any woman who takes herself seriously and who wants to take her impact and visibility to the next level! – Alexandra Indaco-Heredia, Life coach at YouAreGoodEnough.com
