"Our friendship goes all the way back to sixth grade, when we were both on the dance team. We danced together throughout high school and some of college, where we were roommates at Auburn University. Amy has always had great style—mixing trends with classic pieces while looking confident and comfortable. And there's no doubt that her creative instincts—which were not limited to just her style and beauty tricks—led to her successful career in apparel merchandising. I have always been inspired by her ability to highlight, not camouflage, her natural assets. That's the most important style takeaway I've gotten from her, but I'm sure it won't be the last!"

"Amy has worn her hair different lengths throughout the years, but she has always had the softest curls. She loves this product that never makes her curls crunchy or brittle, which is a must when it comes to curly hair."

"My friend taught me how to apply mascara (twirl the brush in multiple tiny circles) to achieve a curled, clump-free look. The brush on this mascara is perfect for her special technique, and it gives major volume and curl."

"She keeps her nails neat and painted in a neutral. It’s simple, classic, and keeps her on-trend no matter the year or season! This favorite color is from the Orly Breathable Treatment + Color Nail Polish line—it’s called Rehab."

Lips

"Amy chooses a rosy lip color just bright enough to make her entire face light up, while still being subdued. This moisturizing lip tint is the perfect pop of color without being over-the-top, and you can use it on your cheeks too as an added plus.”
