A little about Jen...her knack for coloring can be dated as far back as preschool when she took a pack of crayons to her parents brick fireplace. Jen studied art from grade school through college, and has worked in artistry fields her whole life. However, she has always been drawn to makeup and beauty. As a makeup artist, her two passions have collided to bring about the best of both worlds...her love for art, and her desire to use her artistic flair to make people beautiful.
Jen has remained steadfast to always stay current with the ever changing makeup trends and application techniques in the beauty industry today. She participates in leading makeup artistry classes and instructional courses that are offered all over the United States. Her expertise can be credited to over 10+ years of professional beauty industry experience. Her constant study of the most well known makeup and fashion magazines and educational books in this field have allowed Jen to stay on top of her craft. And thanks to her years of professional art school training, she is an expert in Color Theory and Artistic Design.
