It’s not just about makeup. Its about a mother seeing her daughter as a bride for the first time and feeling overwhelmed with emotion knowing she looks every bit as beautiful on the outside as she’s always been on the inside; it’s about a woman with aged skin feeling confident and glamourous for the first time in over a decade. It’s about transforming you by enhancing the stunning features that were always there, and it’s about looking back at those memories with admiration and pride. It’s never just about makeup – Tanya Mann
Who the heck is she?
Well, I’m glad you asked! Hi! I’m Tanya 🙂 Whilst studying for a degree in Psychology, I was crowned Miss Asia World 2008 and began modelling part time. My modelling career took me all around the World and I loved being in front of the camera. “Paid to pout“… it was a dream! Two little boys and countless aloo paranthas later, my belly and I thought it would be a good idea to put away those stilettos (ain’t nobody got time for catwalking the school run), step away from modelling, and move into the field of Makeup. Working my magic behind the camera became my new passion. I became obsessed with unleashing my creativity and perfecting my skill.
Currently, I split myself between my part time job within the field of Psychology, and my fast growing makeup business. What can I say, I love helping people feel good on the inside and look good on the outside.
Not your average MUA!
As a model, I worked with some of the best makeup artists. I have been able to draw upon all my knowledge of makeup from these International maestros who worked on me for 10 years, and along with my own research, practice and self training, I accumulated the best kept secrets in makeup which I reserve solely for my clients and students.
My brides all know that I go the extra mile. Need help posing? Don’t know what your best side is? Need tips on how to ensure your lippy doesn’t smudge so you can actually enjoy your wedding food? I offer unlimited pro tips to all my brides, at their request. I also always keep in touch as I never want any of my clients to feel that they can’t restart a conversation with me to ask for a list of makeup I used on them, how to best use a product they’ve just purchased, ask what shade they’d be in a particular foundation, or just call for a good wedding debrief! I’m always here if you want to offload, guess that’s where my Psychology training comes in handy, “That massi said whaaat? C’mon girl, let’s breathe it out!” 🙂
TRAIN WITH TANYA
My training courses are also not like most. Whilst they are incredibly informative when it comes to makeup demonstration and practice, I offer alot more than merely a makeup lesson. I spend time teaching my students how to build a successful business using social media. I talk in depth about how to get the Instagram algorithm on your side to increase engagement and ultimately get bookings! We discuss invoices, contracts, lighting, must have apps, and sooo much more! My goal is to provide the support and advice that I wish was openly offered to me when I began my journey as a makeup artist. Yes, the British Asian market is saturated with makeup artists, but the truth is, there’s room for us all! ♡
Okay! That’s enough about me! I hope you all enjoy my website and please feel free to get in touch via the contact page if you have questions! ♡
