Hello, beautiful!

As a self-taught makeup artist with over a decade of professional experience, I have been helping women look and feel their absolute best since 2012. What began as a passion for makeup evolved into a career dedicated to enhancing natural beauty through refined, timeless artistry.

Prior to relocating to Atlanta, I trained and worked with Cleveland Makeup Artistry, where I honed my skills in bridal and studio makeup application, airbrush techniques, color correction, and creating flawless, skin-like finishes through custom foundation matching and complexion enhancement.

My approach to makeup is centered on elevation rather than transformation. I specialize in soft, polished looks that allow your natural beauty to shine while providing the confidence that comes from looking your most radiant and put-together. Whether you're walking down the aisle, stepping into a boardroom, or celebrating a special occasion, my goal is to create a look that feels authentically you—just elevated.

I believe professional women deserve makeup that is sophisticated, modern, and effortless. When you sit in my chair, you can expect a personalized experience, attention to detail, and a finished look that leaves you feeling confident, empowered, and camera-ready.

Get to know me: seven random facts about Jennifer J.

  • No. I am from Cleveland, Ohio - a Midwest girl at heart. I love Atlanta and have been enjoying living here for over six years. I left that cold weather behind to live and continue my career in the South and it’s been so rewarding.

  • I haven’t. Believe it or not, I used to hate makeup. So hear me out, I am an 80’s baby and a product of the trends from the 90’s. That includes the baggy clothes and the tomboy aesthetic. I was always a girly girl, but never into makeup. That changed when I grew into adulthood where it began with my obsession of filling in my eyebrows. My love for makeup catapulted from there.

  • I am not a morning person. I enjoy sleeping in and the thought of getting up early gives me anxiety. Don’t get it twisted though, I will wake up for makeup and I will make my early morning flight. But, I am able to get more work done at night - I guess grad school broke me in pretty good into the late night working.

  • I love coffee and going to eclectic coffee shops are my jam.

    I am addicted to candles and home fragrances.

    I am an advocate for self-care and maintenance. I enjoy getting my hair and nails done, spa days, and shopping.

  • I did! Initially, I studied Graphic Design up into my senior year of college. I dropped out and re-enrolled five years later. I hold a Bachelors of Science Degree in Management and a Masters of Business Administration. Now, I am strongly considering studying to become a Licensed Esthetician.

  • I am natural born artist. Growing up, I used to draw, paint, practice calligraphy lettering, and do hair. My work has been featured in local art shows. I’ve always been into typography and colors and visioned myself entering into a career where I am able to express myself creatively. I also saw myself owning my own business and never been for climbing the corporate ladder. Being an artist is my passion and God-given gift. I am honored to share my gifts with the world.

  • I am pretty introverted and a loner. I know how to “put on” in front of people and carry a conversation with others, but my social battery drains extremely quickly where I am anxious to get back home into my bubble. I am a homebody as well.
