BEHIND THE FACES // MAKEUP BY TAWWNEY

Photographers have a difficult job, sure, but it's only a piece to the entire production. The key to a successful final image and successful shoot is all elements working in favor of one another. A killer final image can't be attained without precise attention to detail. Things like an even skin tone, light flush of color on the cheeks, or a precise, clean winged liner all make post processing easier for me.

Tawwney and I met a few months back via instagram when I reached out to my instagram following asking for a makeup artist who would be interested in forming a long term relationship. She reached out, and fast forward to where we are now. We've created some really awesome art together and it's been a really fantastic journey for the both of us. 

I compiled a list of questions for Tawwney that would help you all get to know her better.


Q: What is one makeup product you cannot live without?

A: My brushes 100%- they make the dream work, also- never underestimate the power of a good moisturizer

Q: What has been your favorite collaboration thus far?

A: I've been loving all my collaborations with Jen, my favorite so far would be a toss up between the City Flats collab with Karlee and the fashion shoot with Kelsey because I am a SUCKER for a bold look. 

 

Q: How did you begin your career as a makeup artist, and where do you see your career going in the future?

A: Honestly, I have had a passion for the beauty industry since day one. Makeup has always been something i've wanted to pursue but school always came first. I finally started my career a year ago training and working for a local salon which has been amazing and rewarding. I've met so many passion-filled industry friends and mentors, but I know the future for me is freelance, and I can't wait to get started. 

Q: What is your favorite part about the work you do?

A: The big reveal, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing your client smile ear to ear. And the best part about it is that they feel beautiful in their own skin. That is so important to me. 

Q: Any upcoming projects your excited about?

A: SO MANY I can't wait to get started, I think the one I am most excited about is a 31 day collaboration around a certain spooky holiday!
