hey there,

I’m Tam.

In 2001, I left the Cosmetic counters for the freelance world. It’s been a wild-ride ever since.
I’m a native to Bay Area, but admittedly obsessed with the palm tree life in LA/Hollywood.

I’m definitely an ambivert; a mix of introvert and extrovert.

I believe in good energy and it has gotten me pretty far working behind the scenes for runway shows, working on Indie films, Commercials, Fashion editorials, Photo shoots, and glam styling celebrities for red carpet appearances. 

Welcome to site, check out the faces I’ve touched; visit the blog, the online store, and browse the FAQ section because your question is probably answered there:)

No matter the beauty service you’re inquiring about - let’s meet!

Since 2000, San Francisco native Tamra-Marie Johnson has built an extensive background in makeup artistry.

what you can expect from me

expertise

With a flair for color, obvious obsession with skin my philosophy is to highlight beauty x femininity on every face. I know my craft through and through. I bring confidence and my A-game to any production or Client booking. What's in my toolbox you ask? deep beauty knowledge, hygienic tools/equipment, and undeniable luxe products. Expertise is one of my brand pillars, period

efficiency

I always aim for timely execution — especially since time is always currency and a commodity. If ever I’m thrown a curve ball I work hard to stay-solution oriented, pull from resources all the while keeping communication tight. Efficiency is a pillar of my brand and I feel it ties with expertise, so the more experience I gain the more of an expert, I become. Come along for the journey.

education

Educating is the foundation to my artistry business. Whether I'm training as a Skin Coordinator for SK-II, giving private lessons or talking to room full of beauty-lovers, I've come to learn that sharing my trade secrets has lasting effects. Book something new Book a tutorial, Book a Beauty Bag Edit, Book a Sephora trip, education levels us all up. If you feel it’s time for something new book a Consultation for dedicated time with me!

Becoming an in-demand makeup artist happened because I invested in professional portfolio building. I pulled from my toolbox, I poured into my craft. The results (aka“receipts”) are here, take a look.
