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!.

## Early life and education[edit]

Tendler was born in Connecticut. She is Jewish. According to an interview with Architectural Digest, Tendler studied hairstyling at Vidal Sassoon and the Make-up Designory after graduating from high school, and then studied photography at Parsons School of Design before dropping out.[3] She received her bachelor's degree from The New School in writing and psychology. In 2018, she began pursuing an MA degree from NYU Steinhardt in costume studies.[2][4][3]

## Career[edit]

After dropping out of college her freshman year, Tendler began work as a hairstylist and makeup artist in New York City.[5] Tendler 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.[6] Her popularity got her a writing job with MTV Style[citation needed] and the opportunity to attend NYFW 2011.[7] Her tutorials have been featured in magazines such as Glamour, HelloGiggles, and DailyCandy.[5] 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.[8]

Since 2016, Tendler has owned a business called Silk Parlor, which handcrafts Victorian style lampshades.[3][9] 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.[6][9]

In 2018, Tendler had a brief appearance in an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee featuring her then-husband John Mulaney.[10] In 2019, Tendler was featured in Mulaney's musical comedy special John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch, where she discussed her greatest fears and played a cameo role in a sketch.[11]

In September 2021, Tendler exhibited artwork at The Other Art Fair in Santa Monica, California.[12] 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".[13][14]

In February 2022, Tendler featured on Laur Wheeler's spoken word album Birthday Card, in which she read the poem, "Well and Good".[15]

## Personal life[edit]

Tendler married comedian John Mulaney on July 5, 2014, at the Onteora Mountain House in Boiceville, New York. Their friend, comedian Dan Levy, officiated the ceremony.[16] Mulaney often mentioned Tendler and their French Bulldog Petunia in his stand-up routines.[17][18] On May 10, 2021, it was announced that Mulaney had decided to end their marriage.[19] On July 23, 2021, Mulaney filed for divorce,[20] which was finalized on January 6, 2022.[21] Tendler is now based in Connecticut.[22]

In a series of tweets on October 11, 2017, she spoke out about being groped by Ben Affleck in 2014,[23] writing, "I would also love to get an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my ass at a Golden Globes party in 2014".[24]
