Founder of Makeup to Go

Howdy, I'm Tania

I help makeup artists elevate to sustainable careers featuring consistent, well-paying clients with less hustle, more strategy.

I don’t dictate “makeup rules” or focus solely on makeup looks… I’m here to cut through the overwhelm and help makeup artists get to work. With insider perspective from 25+ years in the creative industries and step-by-step guidance that actually works, we’ll focus on what you truly want in your makeup career and create a clear path to get there. Because building your career shouldn’t feel like drowning in information, it should feel like finally having a plan.

Why Me?

I’ve been around the block (more than) a few times, and I’ve picked up a ton of knowledge along the way. I’ve been where you are, and I’ve learned some things about what it takes both to work in this industry, and to stay working in this industry.

I came up in the industry at a time when there was precious little info available. Now there’s entirely too much! And emerging makeup artists are suffering from analysis paralysis big time, often becoming stuck in low-pay gig Hades. I help artists sort through the noise so they can move forward in their careers with purpose. There’s nothing quite like building a thriving career doing what you love. Let’s get you going…
