We were lucky to catch up with Tiffany Brooks recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Tiffany, thanks for joining us today. Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?
I am extremely happy as an artist! It allows me to bring all my crazy and creative thoughts to life and think outside the box !
Tiffany, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Well since the age of two , art has always been my first love ! I knew how to draw before writing out my own name haha! Drawing , sketching, painting etc I did it all in school ! I’ve also been a huge horror movie fan! So later on in life I started to get very fascinated in special effects makeup. I slowly started watching YouTube tutorials and practiced on my mother who was my biggest supporter!
Right away I knew this is what I wanted to do ! My first job as a makeup artist was during the Halloween season at a haunted maze attraction. After that I did put my makeup brush down for a few years and focused on other job fields. In 2022 I knew it was time for me to come back in the entertainment industry where I belonged! My aunt Londi Brooks who is also in the industry inspired me to get back doing makeup and that’s exactly what I did ! & haven’t looked back since! I’ve been doing makeup professionally for almost two years now & I accomplished so much ! I am proud of every project I worked on. I was fortunate to work with some well known and upcoming talented actors ! I have done commercials, music videos , short films & feature films and still learning !
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
When it comes to being in the entertainment business, everyone has a particular goal , whether it’s winning a special award , working with someone very famous etc etc . And yes even as a makeup artist, of course we want famous people in our chairs . However ! I learned to enjoy the NOW!
Give everyone the same treatment , whether it’s someone doing background or an A list celebrity. Be honored to do their makeup because end of the day its about making your client look and feel good
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is meeting & working with new people. Learning about their journey! Putting our creativity into one story! Working with different skin tones, hair textures. I’ve learned so much through others
