makeup services
The life of a PRO MUA changes on the dime — one day I could be called for a branding shoot; work behind-the-scenes on production filming or servicing a luxe Bride. Whether e-commerce, commercial, advertising, weddings or a beauty campaign it’s all fun but challenging — all requiring a 110% of me.
TMA can accommodate most travel distances - (fees apply).
Please check the FAQ section (below) before booking to learn more important details. Because I am immuno-compromised, I am only working with Clients or Crew who are fully vaccinated - (proof of immunization, PCR or rapid negative test results) will be requested with private and production Clients.

weddings
TMA’s makeup services appeal to the Bride that appreciates a luxe feel with high-end celebrity attention. Sometimes you just need “beyond-the-everyday” glam.
Weddings can be such a high-adrenaline occasion, so I arrive with a level of confidence to make a difference in your day. I am on site to give you a peace of mind, to pamper and enable you to focus on the joy of your day; definitely not worry about your glam. You can feel confident, pampered, I am here to help elevate your Wedding day look, that's my first and only intention.
Rates aren’t mentioned because I need the full details of your event before quotes are established but I can tell you endless lashes are complimentary for every Bride no matter your choose of Classic or Airbrush formula. Glam packages also offered for those who want a trio of services (e.g) Trial, rehearsal/welcome dinner & day of.
I would absolutely love the opportunity to work with you and be by your side on the morning of your BIG DAY.
headshots & professional branding
Knowing the right makeup application suited for portraits and professional photography is a skill set that we Makeup Artists take huge pride in.
During the application, I make two considerations: how light affects makeup but also ways to elevate your on-camera experience right before you step onto “set.” The clean photo finish you see here is because I’ve found the balance of how to enhance a Clients' facial anatomy through the use of trusted cosmetics.
Client appointments are held North Oakland/Berkeley border. The Styling space is shared, so advanced notice is required. Same day appts are rare. If you’re a new Client to TMA, click below to set up a Zoom chat.
commercial photo & video shoots
As a Production Client, you can fully trust my on-set etiquette is sharp as a tack. You can trust, I know what hair & makeup works best for moving media, including color-correction techniques, working with RED epic digital and green screen set-ups. Send me a creative brief or mood deck and I’ll hard towards execution. I love collaborative partnering with photographers, producers, art directors, beauty editors, actors and models, etc. Hearing my work requires little post-production/retouching gives me pride.
My experience with commercials, videos, editorial and print projects spans more than 20 years, and my high level of service leads to repeat bookings.
Please inquire for full-day and half-day rates.

Yes. I've spent years perfecting a signature look and a point of view around Makeup Artistry. Soft sexy glam is what comes to mind.
