"Jen was my makeup artist for my wedding, and she is so talented, kind, and calming. I have never in my life felt more beautiful, and can't thank her enough for her patience and skill. She's incredible, book now."
JEN'S FAVORITE STYLE OF MAKEUP
It's hard to pick a favorite! I love the variety of working with different women, and the triumph of tailoring a bridal look that suits each person. I enjoy the beauty and simplicity of very natural makeup, but I am not afraid to go glam (my first love)! And I love me some vintage flair!
MOST INSPIRED BY
I think I'm inspired most by working with my clients. I can walk in with an idea of what they may want, but my inspiration hits as soon as I'm in the room, face to face with them. Once I see the features I'm working with, and their personalities, it's exciting and fun for me to create a look for them!
MY IDEA OF DRAMATIC BRIDAL MAKEUP
When a bride wants a more severe black rimmed eye-- that is drama! I do love creating a softer, smokey eye, something that will suit a day that might start at 9a and not end till 1am. And I am all about enabling the use of lashes!

CLEAN NATURAL BEAUTY
Clean natural beauty is makeup that enhances your natural features, but without stealing the spotlight. The range of colors is more natural and soft, and the makeup placement is to highlight vs. alter your facial features. You look like yourself on a really great day.
