Amarah Hawkins
Makeup Artist / Hair Stylist
I was born in Colorado but have lived all over the world, growing up in the military. Traveling around the world opened my eyes to the many meanings of beauty. Helping me to realize my passion for Hair and Makeup. Yes, I love beauty products and the newest beauty trends just as much as any girl does- but it goes much deeper than that. I love the feeling that I am empowering the people I work on at Revolution Dating, connecting with the clients and the journey they are on or about to begin. Every day, I wake up with the mindset that my work is going to help clients be the most confident and beautiful version of themselves.
