Makeup Review

Tamara did my makeup for our destination wedding in Jamaica as well as 9 of my bridesmaids makeup. She was absolutely amazing. My husband is all about the natural look where makeup is not all caked on and Tamara did just that. My husband and I were so impressed with how good of a job she did. Not to mention my bridesmaids all looked beautiful too! She also did a trial for me the day of my rehearsal dinner and it came out great. She is also just the sweetest! I highly recommend Tamara and hope to cross paths with her in Jamaica again someday!

A sweat-proof, stunning look

If you are needing makeup for any humid or hot climate, Tamara is your girl! I felt as though I was melting in our photos in the heat of the day but my gorgeous makeup look did not budge. Looks like second skin, feels light and lasted through our wild reception dance party. She also took my Inspo photos I sent her and totally got the look I was going for. Would highly recommend!

Exceptional service!

Tamara's makeup service was truly exceptional. She is very knowledgeable about skin care and willingly shared useful skin care tips leading up to my wedding day, as well as provided a full skin prep regimen prior to the application of my makeup, which ensured that my skin was just radiant on my wedding day!

Tamara is friendly, knowledgeable, talented and easy to work with. Her periodic check-ins before and even after my wedding day is a testament to her wonderful customer service. Tamara went above and beyond and had my best interest at heart. Her service exceeded my expectations and my bridesmaids also appreciated her work. I recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist that will give that natural yet enhanced look, and will make you feel comfortable, while offering professional makeup services.

The most beautiful version of yourself!

From Day 1, Tamara was so easy to work with ... she provided advice on everything from planning to photography. My wedding photographer was actually based on Tamara's suggestion. On wedding day, even though it was the first time meeting Tamara in person, I felt as if I knew her ... and my best friend / Maid of Honor and I, both found Tamara so easy and fun to work with. We both ended up not feeling 'made up' but naturally beautiful ... as Tamara was able to highlight our best assets! Would definitely recommend Tamara for anyone hoping to look natural, yet gorgeous ... particularly destination brides!

Get ready to look even more beautiful and amazing than you could have ever imagined. This make up artist will have you loving yourself even more of then you thought you would. I sent camera pictures of the looks that I liked as well as pictures of myself and she crafted in her mind what I would look like for my wedding. My face turned out absolutely beautiful. Everyone was so amazed at how well she did the make up. It was not cakey or over done. It was just right. Thank you so much Tamra for making my special day amazing

I reached out to Tamara because I wanted a makeup artiste who could assist me with two photoshoots I was doing as a part of rebranding my business. I scoured Instagram and, ultimately, chose Tamara because she made all her clients look naturally beautiful. I am a big believer in "less is more," and I dont wear makeup on a regular basis. I wanted to look polished but almost identical to how I look when people see me without makeup (because I will not be wearing any to client meetings).

It was also important to me to hire someone who fundamentally believed in the beauty of "barely there" makeup vs. asking a regular makeup artiste to give me "a natural look". But I got so much more than "a natural look".

I appreciated that Tamara:
1. Communicated with me well and generously leading up to the shoots so she and I could be prepared
2. Tailored my makeup to each of the four outfits I did during my first shoot - she didn't slack off on any of the outfit changes
3. Realized where I was struggling in non-makeup areas during shoots and pitched in (I had a problem with my nails, and she painted them!!! and she helped me iron a piece of clothing. I was FLOORED because she did NOT have to help me do these things)
4. Was pleasant and eager to help me have an excellent final product; I felt like she was really invested
5. Paid attention to detail - if something was crushed or lean she would point it out to the photographer and fix it

I have shown three close friends my pictures (because I am concealing all for a reveal later this year), and they have loved my looks, with my bff commenting on how seamlessly my foundation goes with my skin.

If you are fortunate enough to find Tamara at a time when she is free, HIRE HER. You're going to get so much more than what you pay for. And this is coming from an exacting woman who does not play with her work.

Sharing a cropped sample below because I cant share all my shots yet.

Tamara is amazing! She provided makeup for myself, my mother and my mother-in-law ahead of all the Wedding Day festivities. None of us are real makeup wearers so as soon as I saw Tamara's portfolio of beautiful, natural looks, I knew she was the one for us! I could not have been any more right - she was fabulous!

By the time I was ready to step into my wedding gown, Tamara had transformed me into what my now husbands describes as "the embodiment of Jamaican royalty". I wanted to look like a princess on my special day and Tamara did just that. More importantly, I wanted to look like myself, the most perfect version of myself. She achieved everything I wanted with masterful flourishes of her tools and great professionalism. Look no further, your artist is here!
