Hello! My name is Taylor Haggard. I am a certified makeup and special effects artist based in Texas. I began my career as a freelance artist in 2010, and attended Cinema Makeup School (Los Angeles) in 2012 to help broaden my skill set. I definitely have a passion for both beauty and special effects, and I love when I can combine the two. I specialize in alternative fashion, pinup/retro, and special effects/character makeups for dark art and horror studio photography. I'd love to network with more Austin photographers, models, designers, and other makeup artists. Please send me a message (here or on facebook) if you'd like to collaborate and make some beautiful art together.

I've recently opened a small shop space at home. Unfortunately I cannot build a foam oven because of my landlord. I'm looking for someone local who can run foam for me on a regular basis. Please contact me if you may be able to meet this request.

I am the co-owner of Gore Noir Magazine, and spend a lot of time working on things for it. I have 100% creative freedom with my photo shoots, and I often look for other artists to help me out. I love to work with and feature artists withing the horror genre be they models, photographers, artists, makeup artists, toy makers, tattoo artists, film makers, and so on! We are based in Austin, and printed in San Antonio, and we LOVE to work with local people, but also welcome people from all over the world.
