Taking the Leap: Betting on Yourself as a Full-Time Makeup Artist
Manage episode 523432200 series 3482009
We sit with makeup artist Jess to unpack her transition into a polished studio suite, her signature dewy, camera-ready glow, and the real behind-the-scenes of building a beauty brand fueled by early alarms, long days, and nonstop business demands. Jess discusses leaving the corporate world behind to own her own space and fully trust her vision as an artist. She breaks down marketing moves that helped grow her brand and how partnering with a photography and content studio creates a one-stop glam experience for clients. Through family pressure, cultural expectations, and industry noise, Jess chose her dreams and made them her reality, and is now expanding into community, connection, and impact.
