What Clients Are Saying
Working with Tania in the “Need to Talk” Strategy Session was an absolute game-changer for me! From the start, her warmth and professionalism made me feel at ease, even as I navigated big questions about my career. She took the time to understand my unique situation and provided actionable advice tailored to my goals. The session was packed with valuable insights. Tania’s follow-up notes were detailed and thorough, and having a recording of our Zoom call has been incredibly helpful for reference. What stood out most was her genuine care and support. She made herself available for follow-ups and reassured me that no question was too small. I now feel equipped with a clear plan of action and the confidence to move forward in my career!
“Taniaโs input into my Portfolio Review and my planning of a new website was exceptional. High quality yet fantastic value. She is a straight, honest, constructive talker with no judgement and I felt completely safe with her. I feel either validated in my gut or seeing things with different eyesโฆexactly what people should have for a Portfolio Review. I do believe in paying for it for true impartiality and professionalism. Your colleagues and friend might not tell you the truth! Now I have to match Taniaโs professionalism and standards and put into action her advice. She met my expectations and went beyond. I would recommend her to anyone in the photography, design, or makeup field. Thank you again, Tania!”
โI had Tania Russell as my instructor at the Blush School of Makeup during 2013-2014. She taught our runway, HD, photography, and airbrush courses. She was by far one of my favorite teachers at Blush. Tania would always give good, honest critiques and would have me redo my work until we got the result she knew I was capable of. She would also challenge me to push my comfort level and try other styles that I was not familiar with. Tania is a wonderful teacher with a wealth of knowledge and a magnetic energy. I learned so much under her instruction and anyone would be very lucky to have Tania as a teacher.โ
I booked a Need to Talk Session with Tania of Makeup to Go Blog because I am branching out my makeup services to include live demonstrations. I knew that Tania was the right choice for guidance on this matter. During our session, Tania was straight to the point, while delivering her guidance in a kind, yet gentle manner. It felt like I was talking to a friend or family member. She came to our session prepared with a full agenda of notes and information. We ended our session with me being fully prepared for my live demonstration. It is two days after my demonstration, and I am reflecting on the fact that I was confident and prepared, thanks to Tania’s advice. I highly, highly recommend Tania to anyone looking for advice in this section of makeup artistry. I’ve been a Makeup Artist for about 10 years, and I am truly grateful for Tania, her experience, and her guidance! Book this woman NOW, you’ll be glad you did! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tania!
โI have trained with multiple artists and none of them compare to Tania Russellโs ability to give you the professional artistโs trained eye and knowledge to run your own business. While taking her advanced courses I developed many skills I reference on EVERY job. She is the main reason I continue booking on a continues basis and has provided me with countless tips on how to keep pushing through the highs and lows of this business. I donโt know where I would be right now if I didnโt attend her classes and I look up to her as the best mentor I have ever had. Take her workshops/classes you have everything to gain!โ
