Annamarie Tendler (born June 9, 1985),[1] known professionally as Anna Marie Tendler, is an American multimedia artist known for her work in photography, makeup and hairstyling, and textile crafts, with a notable specialty in handmade lampshades.[2] She is the author of Pin It!: 20 Fabulous Bobby Pin Hairstyles and The Daily Face: 25 Makeup Looks for Day, Night, and Everything In Between!. Her memoir, Men Have Called Her Crazy, was published by Simon & Schuster in August 2024.
After dropping out of college her freshman year, Tendler began work as a hairstylist and makeup artist in New York City.[8] She was an early pioneer in the world of online beauty gurus. In December 2007, she created a Tumblr blog dedicated to daily makeup looks that accumulated more than 350,000 followers.[9] Her tutorials have been featured in magazines such as Glamour, HelloGiggles, and DailyCandy.[8] In 2016, she partnered with Amy Poehler's Smart Girls to create a YouTube tutorial series combining beauty with the paranormal called The Other Side.[10]
Since 2016, Tendler has owned a business called Silk Parlor, which handcrafts Victorian style lampshades.[3][11] As a makeup artist and hair stylist, she has worked on various television series and comedy specials, including: The Old Man and the Seymour, CollegeHumor Originals, John Mulaney: New in Town, Aziz Ansari: Dangerously Delicious and John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid.[1] On Broadway, she worked on the shows Oh, Hello and Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812.[9][11]
In September 2021, Tendler exhibited artwork at The Other Art Fair in Santa Monica, California.[14] The exhibition, titled "rooms in the first house", is said by her website to "chronicle the often non-linear experiences of loss, anger, and powerlessness, as well as a reclamation of identity".[15][16]
In 2022, Tendler began writing her memoir, Men Have Called Her Crazy, inspired by her stay at a psychiatric hospital in early 2021, and the events preceding and following that moment. The book was published by Simon & Schuster on August 13, 2024.[17][18][19][20]
