Makeup Artist Sharon Tabb's Lowdown on The Lowdown Looks and More

About this episode

Makeup artist Sharon Tabb shares her creative journey and insights in the industry.

In this episode of Look Behind the Look, I chat with makeup designer Sharon Tabb, who shares her creative journey behind the scenes of the hit series “The Lowdown” and the important film “Sarah’s Oil.” Sharon shared with me her origin story and while I always love a “how did you get here” exchange, this one is truly remarkable as serendipity and a leap of faith were powerful players in Sharon’s arrival to her career. If you are just getting started in your career, this episode is full of words of wisdom, and if you are far along in your journey, you will love hearing about what keeps Sharon motivated as I am sure you can relate. I was truly recharged after spending time with her and I know you will be too. Get full access to Look Behind The Look at lookbehindthelook.substack.com/subscribe
