What is Makeup to Go All About?
Hey there! I’m Tania!

I’ve been in the makeup game for over 30 years, and now I’m on a mission to help emerging makeup artists like you make it in the world of media makeup.

My Story
After doing just enough films to know that was not at all something I wanted to do, I began my come up doing makeup for music videos. Yep, I’ve worked on videos for the likes of Snoop Dogg, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and many other folks you’ve likely heard of. From there I moved into doing print work, starting with magazines such as TeenProm and Seventeen, and working my way into the wonderful world of Advertising.

These days, you’ll find me working with big-name commercial and lifestyle clients like Apple, T-Mobile, and New Balance, just to name a few…

What I’m All About

Makeup artistry for media covering two main areas:

1. Hands-on Makeup Skills: This isn’t about one-size-fits-all cookie cutter “looks”, but about developing your eye and your hand to execute your own artistic vision .

2. The Business Side of Things: Because let’s face it, talent alone doesn’t pay the bills. I’ll teach you how to navigate the industry and build a career you can be proud of.

Makeup to Go empowers new, emerging, and/or pivoting artists to bridge the gap between wanting to be a media makeup artist and having a meaningful, long-term career.

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 know what it takes both to work in this industry, and stay working in this industry.

So, are you ready to kick your makeup career into high gear? Let’s take your skills and your business savvy to the next level. Trust me, there’s nothing quite like building a thriving career doing what you love.
