We had the good fortune of connecting with Tamar Levy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tamar, why did you pursue a creative career?
I have loved makeup since a young age and would always do my friends and families makeup. After high school I decided to take a makeup course, which gave me the confidence to work on clients. It’s been a passion of mine since a young age and I’m happy that I get to do what I love and make women feel beautiful, all through expressing art.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I’ve been a makeup artist for over 15 years, it’s been something I’ve always had a passion for. I love to work on a blank canvas and create magic, the results I get from my clients are the most rewarding! I think what sets me apart from other makeup artists is that I don’t over do the makeup, I tend to enhance my clients features without covering them under a ton of makeup. My clients always feel beautiful and comfortable in their own skin.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would probably drive up the coast, stop to see some amazing scenery and maybe hit the beach if the weather was good. We’d get drinks and eat at Basbussa and then probably hit up Dave and Busters for some games!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to shootout my family and friends for always believing in me and supporting me!
