welcome

I’m glad you're here. Take a look-around. As a makeup artist, I'm excited to share with you my love for vibrant colors, obsession with skin and fashion inspires me when creating. Stay awhile, because each page is infused with my expansive portfolio filled with diversity; rich melanin skin tones; illustrations of my understanding of color theory and undertones.

Every business has a "why." Why clients book me repeatedly is often tied to my minimalist approach. This requires restraint, an eye for balance and symmetry. I'll give you a lil’ trade secret, it's a real dance.

Since 2000, San Francisco native Tamra-Marie Johnson has built an extensive background in makeup artistry with industry leaders NARS, MAC, Laura Mercier and Kevyn Aucoin Cosmetics.

A white woman model looking at the camera with natural make-up — Whether I am working with a blushing bride, an actor, a model, executive/boss babe, the everyday woman, or male grooming clients… I give 100%.

mission

My goal is to provide a luxe experience for every client seated in my makeup chair. During our time together you should feel comfortable, confident and celebrated through the use of high-quality cosmetics.

I approach each booking with fresh optimism and creativity. When booking TMA know that my brand is rooted at the intersection of truth and beauty.

Being a seasoned vet, I remain energized to play with color, shape and texture just as if it was my first day of work. Honey! I live to create a moment, as creatives we always want our art to resonate.

“Tamra is an amazing makeup artist. I love that she’s worked everything from Hollywood red carpets, to corporate events, to weddings. For me, she did my wedding and had me and my bridesmaids looking absolutely stunning. The trial run gave us a chance to discuss what I wanted in detail and test various color options and combinations, allowing me to relax with a glass of champagne while Tamra worked her magic on my wedding day. I highly recommend Tamra not only for your wedding but any event that you want a glamorous look. She’s truly a gem!”

DELECIA KREVET, WEDDING MAKE-UP CLIENT
“Tamra is a true pro when it comes to bringing out the best in her subject's face. My clients are always so happy with the results — looking like themselves, not overly 'made up' perfect for professional portraits.”

ELLA SOPHIE BESETTE, COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER
“Tamra has been amazing to work with in preparation for my bridal look. Her ability to deliver a soft glam look that brings out the best in my features has me so excited about my wedding day. She knows what she's doing and is funny, kind, and has a gentle energy that makes the experience match the outcome. It's not easy to find makeup artists who understand brown skin and with deep knowledge of skincare. I would recommend her to anyone!”
