MTA Dallas is owned and operated by makeup artist professional Terri Tomlinson. Terri brings over 20 years of experience to MTA and currently creates hair and makeup for print photography, film, video, and runway. She also educates and trains makeup artists. As a working makeup artist Terri has had the opportunity to grow her craft in a multitude of mediums and openly shares her experiences with her class.
“I am so pleased to be offering this type of training here in Dallas. Currently there are few options in the area that offer the kind of intense education one would receive in Los Angeles or New York. I believe that being able to study on one of the coasts is a tremendous experience, however we need to have the option here for those that cannot.”
Currently MTA Dallas offers a Level 1 and Level 2 Beauty Makeup Class, Advanced Training for established artists, and various workshops. For more information please visit our “classes” page.
