AMY NADINE
MAKEUP
Known for her intuitive ability to define and accentuate a woman’s natural beauty, Amy Nadine brings a very refreshing perspective to the world of makeup tutorials found online today.
I believe optimal wellness relies heavily on a strong healthcare provider-patient relationship, where the provider truly hears the patient's concerns and goals, and the patient genuinely entrusts the provider with their recommendations and plan."
“I am over the moon to finally own my own space with no upselling pressure.
Her professional background spans from family medicine, urgent care and emergency medicine to neonatal intensive care, flight nursing, aesthetics, hospice, film industry medicine and supervising medical director roles. She was born and raised in Northern New Mexico, the daughter of a rancher, and the small-town ranch life is still very much a part of her.
Hailing from the East Coast, she now resides in Los Angeles. And if you follow Kristin’s tutorials here on thebeautydepartment.com then you know she has a true love for teaching you how to master those exact looks on yourself. I especially love bringing the more natural L.A. look to New Mexico and helping my patients achieve their aesthetic dreams!”
