Tara is AMAZING! She is my go to lady for myself and when my clients need styling. She will always listen to your needs and give many suggestions so you feel comfortable and like yourself (just more glamorous!) Her studio is easy to get to in downtown Reading. When you walk through the door you are met with feminine elegance. Every detail is carefully thought out - colorful candy lines one wall! Make sure you leave time after your appointment to shop her beautiful boutique. She has lovely local/handmade gift items for weddings and beyond. I've purchased a robe, leather travel case, and jewelry and enjoy them all so much. If you need your hair or makeup done you must see Tara! You will be hooked and look for more reasons to visit her studio and sit in her chair. read more

Did you know that Tada Makeup isn't *just* for brides?? I recently went to see Tara at Tada because, as a professional woman, I've never really felt great about how I wear make up -- am I wearing the right colors? Do I buy the right brands? Am I doing the right thing to take care of my skin? I feel like everything I knew about putting on make up was learned at 13, and I wanted a change. I met with Tara for a full consultation on my make up ritual. We discussed everything from face washing and sunscreen, to reviewing what brushes I use. She selected great colors and products for me to consider, and showed me EVERY step of how to apply them (and I left with an awesome "color by number" map to use with me at home, in case I ever forget.) I absolutely recommend this as an investment for any woman who just wants to feel better about how she presents herself, and how she's treating her skin in the process. Oh, and I can't tell you how many compliments I get now on my makeup! I always tell them, "You know... I actually got some help on this recently... let me tell you my story." So, brides and NON-brides, I recommend time with Tara, 100%! read more

Tara helped us look and feel like a pumped up version of ourselves!! 11/10 recommend!! My bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law and I all had an amazing time working with Tara. She is SO talented at what she does and is also just incredibly sweet and professional. She listened to everyone's feedback at the trial and on the day of to make sure we all had a look we loved. We needed an extra set of hands to reach our timeline and she brought in a really talented hairstylist, Stefanie, to help out (though Tara did both my hair and my makeup personally). Tara gave us great insights about what would look nice with our coloring but also was able to match and recreate looks from inspiration photos. Her products felt great on our skin and we still felt like ourselves. I would recommend her to anyone looking for hair and make-up for their wedding day. It was so nice to be able to know she had us handled and that we didn't have to worry at all about looking great. She came to us on time and finished ahead of schedule. It was a pleasure to have her as a part of the wedding day! read more

Tara rocks!! She did my makeup along with the rest of my wedding party and I cannot say enough good things. She understands how to bring out the beauty in each person she works on, and she makes each woman feel so comfortable in her own skin. From the moment I met Tara, I could just tell that she understands how to bring out the fabulous in everyone (whether that means super glammed up or just more of a natural look). Tara can do it all! I love that she uses Mac products too! And Tara will give you a bit of a makeup lesson as she applies it, if you want to know why she uses a certain item (I was super curious at least!) She's patient and so sweet - you will love her too! She's adorable and makes you feel adorable too! read more

Tara is beyond talented and has a great eye. She did my hair and makeup and had FULL freedom in styling my hair and makeup. It was so fun and not something I ever would have thought up myself- but worked really well and I LOVED the final look. I wish I had found her for my wedding- but would highly recommend her to anyone getting their hair and makeup done. I would also recommend handing her the reigns and letting her pick your look (or at the very least, hearing her suggestions!!). She has a beautiful studio with great light and the sweetest store filled with treasures. read more

Words cannot adequately describe how much I love Tada Makeup! I met Tara first at my sisters wedding. At the time I was not familiar with her work but I LOVED her upbeat, energetic personality. Tara loves what she does and her passion and creativity shows in every person she works on. Once I got engaged a year later I knew exactly who I would use for my makeup... Tada!! Tara did an exceptional job. Guests asked if I hired someone for "touch-ups" as our makeup stayed flawless thoughout the day and night! I was amazed by how superbly Tara took my ideas and turned them into a look that exceeded my best expectations. Beyond her exceptional work, people noted how excited Tara was to be a central part of our big day. She wanted to be there and they wanted to provide looks that would become part of our memories. Tara succeeded on that front. When planning a wedding you have SO many things to worry about... Take the worry out of your makeup plans and call Tada Makeup! They really are an incredible company. Tada won't let you down. read more

I can't say enough great things about Tara and Tada Makeup! She is so talented and does an absolutely incredible job! She did my hair and make-up for my boudoir session and I was in love with it! I gave her a very vague idea of what I was thinking and she took it and ran with it - she gave me a gorgeous almost pin-up style hair and make-up to match. She made me look flawless and glowing! I've never been more impressed with my hair and make-up and felt so glam and confident for my shoot. Tara is also super fun and easy to chat with - she made me so comfortable and at ease. It was a fabulous experience and I keep trying to find reasons to have her do my hair and make up again! Thank you, Tara!! read more

Tara is not only an oh-so talented makeup artist, but she has a way with people. Her energy is positive and calming, and after one meeting with her, you walk away feeling like you've known each other for years. As a photographer in the wedding industry, I got to know Tara by way of her work. She is able to quickly and beautifully achieve the look you want, while ensuring the client's natural beauty is shining through. The day I got engaged and started looking at MUAs, I knew I wanted Tara at Tada to be my girl! And let me just tell you, she rocked it. I have a natural, boho look, so it was important I didn't stray away from who I am. She kept this in mind through the makeup trial, and on the day of the wedding, I felt beautiful and I was glowing as I walked down the aisle toward my man. One thing I should note is that on a wedding day, it's important to have someone who is good with time management. Tara kept to the schedule, and achieved breathtaking looks for me and my bridesmaids in a timely manner. If you're looking for a MUA for your wedding or special event, Tara is it! read more
