Tara DiPetrillo

Dipetrillo started getting paid to do makeup when she was 17 years old. Her craft arrived naturally after being a lifelong artist and was tweaked through formal education in spfx makeup.

Growing up pre-internet, Dipetrillo was fascinated by my subscription to Fangoria magazine, Kevin Aucoin books, Disco 2000 club kid fashion, and international vogue.

She attended the School of Visual Arts as a film major. After a year and a half at SVA, she decided to go to school to learn special effects makeup and prosthetics and meld the love of painting and film together.

Dipetrillo is an experienced makeup department head as well as a key makeup artist, spfx makeup artist, and makeup artist.

Atlanta, GA, is her location, where she is a proud member of the I.A.T.S.E. local 798 makeup artists and hairstylists unit.
