Hello from Tanya

Your makeup
artist.

I fell in love with makeup in 2013, and have since then made moves to elevate and educate myself in this industry.

I started freelancing in 2015 and have enjoyed every moment of it since. I was a beauty advisor at Sephora for three years, and during that time I received training on makeup application, product knowledge and skin care services.

Currently I'm freelancing for Charlotte Tilbury and Nars. I've beat hundreds of faces over the years, and I've gained the skills and practices to keep up with the trends.

I would love to service you for your upcoming special occasion — so please, send me a message.

Portfolio

The work.

Brides, bridal parties, maternity and editorial — in the studio and on location, in whatever bedroom, suite or getting-ready room the morning happens to be in.
