hi hi, I’m Tamra

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 of Los Angeles so working both markets checks all the boxes.

I’m definitely an ambivert; a mix of introvert and extrovert. I believe in good energy and never leaving the house without a proper brow!

While working behind the scenes for Runway shows, on Films, Commercials, Fashion editorials, Photo shoots, Red carpet appearances and destination Weddings I’ve gained a ton of experience that I am ready to bring to you…

Welcome to my 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:)

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!
