welcome

I’m glad you're here. Take a look-around. As a makeup artist, I'm excited to share with you my love for vibrant colors, obsession with skin and fashion. Stay awhile, because each page showcases my portfolio filled with diversity; not all models not all celebrities but everyday WOMEN with rich melanin skin tones. I also feel like my illustrations demonstrate my understanding of color theory and undertones.   

When I’m not painting faces, I balance strategy with style: I enjoy shopping with brands like Everlane, Aritzia, and Net-a-Porter, and I fuel personal growth and business strategy by listening to podcasts during long car rides. For downtime, I love weekend trips to wine country, attending local art shows and indie film festivals, and hosting intimate dinner parties. I'm also obsessed with Architectural Digest, and sometimes I just need the escapism of Bravo (mindless TV at its best).

  • “Tamra is an amazing makeup artist. I love that she’s worked everything from Hollywood red carpets, to corporate events, to weddings. For me, she did my wedding and had me and my bridesmaids looking absolutely stunning. The trial run gave us a chance to discuss what I wanted in detail and test various color options and combinations, allowing me to relax with a glass of champagne while Tamra worked her magic on my wedding day. I highly recommend Tamra not only for your wedding but any event that you want a glamorous look. She’s truly a gem!”

    DELECIA KREVET, WEDDING MAKE-UP CLIENT

  • “Tamra is a true pro when it comes to bringing out the best in her subject's face. My clients are always so happy with the results — looking like themselves, not overly 'made up' perfect for professional portraits.”

    ELLA SOPHIE BESETTE, COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER

  • “Tamra has been amazing to work with in preparation for my bridal look. Her ability to deliver a soft glam look that brings out the best in my features has me so excited about my wedding day. She knows what she's doing and is funny, kind, and has a gentle energy that makes the experience match the outcome. It's not easy to find makeup artists who understand brown skin and with deep knowledge of skincare. I would recommend her to anyone!”
