ABOUT

Founded in 2011 by Kristin Ess & Amy Nadine, The Beauty Department was created to bridge the gap between a professional glam squad and the every-girl. Over a thousand photo tutorials, video tutorials, product reviews and visual inspirations fill the pages of The Beauty Department, with one goal… elevating confidence levels of people around the world.

HAIR

Kristin Ess is never not creating something beautiful. If you follow her on social media you know she’s non-stop posting photos of the most wearable, obtainable, perfectly-imperfect hairstyles. 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. The truth about KE is that she desperately wants everyone to have Instagram hair IRL. This website is just a platform to help her make that happen.

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. Amy Nadine takes the intimidation out of incorporating new things to your makeup and skincare routines, which is essential because cosmetics can be a very large and confusing world to explore. Warning: her excitement for the newest, most innovative products is extremely contagious. Amy Nadine launched her own cosmetic line in fall 2015, which is available for purchase HERE, HERE and at Costco!

GUEST CONTRIBUTOR

Eunice began her start with The Beauty Department as a graphic design intern in 2011, which led to her role as the lead graphic designer and managing editor because she is just too legit to quit. Hailing from the East Coast, she now resides in Los Angeles. She loves fashion (a love that will never die), beauty, design, photography, and exploring the most “Instagrammable” places — whether it’s at the beaches in Santa Monica or her local coffee shop.
