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, is set to be published by Simon & Schuster in August 2024.

Early life and education[edit]

Tendler was born in Bethel, Connecticut. [citation needed] 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 at The New School before dropping out.[3] She later received her bachelor's degree from The New School in writing and psychology. In 2021, she received an MA degree from NYU Steinhardt in costume studies.[4][3][5][6] Her thesis was titled The Lip Filler Phenomenon: Modern Medicine, Kylie Jenner, and Postfeminist Female Sexuality.[7]

Career[edit]

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 popularity got her a writing job with MTV Style[citation needed] and the opportunity to attend NYFW 2011.[10] 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.[11]

Since 2016, Tendler has owned a business called Silk Parlor, which handcrafts Victorian style lampshades.[3][12] 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][12]

In 2018, Tendler had a brief appearance in an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee featuring her then-husband John Mulaney.[13] 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.[14]

In September 2021, Tendler exhibited artwork at The Other Art Fair in Santa Monica, California.[15] 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".[16][17]

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 will be published by Simon & Schuster on August 13, 2024.[18]

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.[19] Mulaney often mentioned Tendler and their French Bulldog Petunia in his stand-up routines.[20][21] Tendler and Mulaney's separation was announced in May 2021. In July of the same year, Mulaney filed for divorce, which was finalized in January 2022.[22][23] Tendler is reportedly dating chef Nicholas Tran as of February 2023.[24]

In 2022, Tendler divulged to Harper’s Bazaar of her decision to undergo oocyte cryopreservation.[25][26]

In June 2023, Elle published Tendler's essay about her bond with her dog Petunia, who had died two months earlier.[27]

Tendler resides in Connecticut.[28]

In a series of tweets on October 11, 2017, she claimed that she was groped by Ben Affleck at a Golden Globes party in 2014.[29][30]
