I come to you with great enthusiasm for the LGBTQ+ community and beauty – separately, yes, but ESPECIALLY together. I look forward to sharing tips, reviews, recs, and stories on incredible beauty icons. We’re in this revolution together!

Tara Nass
cONTENT WRITER
Hi! I’m Tara. Words and I have been entangled in a love affair from the time I was 14, when writing had become my outlet from the grossness of puberty (gag). Through cringe-worthy poetry, and millions of journal entries, my true passion evolved— learning how to cope with mental illness by means of artistic expression. As a form of creation, I began to understand myself visually, using the wonders of makeup, namely eyeshadow. This is how I found myself here, at QUILL, a safe space where all my desires for what the world can be collide! I am beyond excited to learn and grow alongside each and every one of you!
