Amber Silva Makeup Artist
Amber has spent her career figuring out her style, and her favorite has become the natural makeup look. Natural or Natural Glam are her specialty. She became a makeup artist because she wanted to help people find that Natural Glam/Bohemian look.

Since starting her own business, she has perfected the art of flawlessly blended but layered makeup to make you look perfect on your day.
