Hola!, I am Tamara, a Professional Freelance Makeup Artist — at your service.

Originally born in Uruguay (South America). I moved to beautiful New Zealand when I was just 14 years old. —Yes, I can speak spanish too !—

Since 2013, I have been inspired by one of the most exquisite expressions of art — Makeup.

When I was only 22 years old, I was living in Dunedin and decided to study Makeup Artistry at Aoraki Polytechnic. There, I met Melissa Pizzamiglio. Who taught me the techniques, skills, the art & craft of Makeup. This is where I found myself find a new passion and a creative outlet to express my art through makeup.

Growing up, I would use my mother’s makeup, watch my grandmother put makeup on or sometimes ask my dad to be my model. However, I never thought about it as a career. Instead, I decided to pursue a career in hospitality.

2022 was the year I rediscovered my passion and love for makeup and decided to pursue a course at Southern Institute of Technology in Christchurch. Where I had the pleasure to meet Cali-Ann Harrington, who taught, inspired, and motivated me to pursue my goals and dreams.

Throughout the year, I built my own business as a Professional Makeup Artist in my studio at my home located in Christchurch.

I describe my style as unique, edgy and made to turn heads, something that I do with ease through a combination of artistic talent, perfection and an eye to detail.

Furthermore, I genuinely enjoy my ability to connect with people from all different walks of life and make my clients feel confident, special and amazing about themselves through my makeup talent skills.
