About
I have been a working makeup artist as well as an eyebrow and hairstyle expert for over twelve years in the San Francisco and Sacramento areas.
I began studying theatrical makeup over fifteen years ago at ARC in Sacramento, CA. Later, I received makeup training at the renowned California State Summer School of the Arts and finally the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles, California. I have also worked for some of leading makeup companies in the industry. Benefit Cosmetics, Chanel, Dolce and Gabanna the Make Up and Urban Decay are a few.
My makeup technique is unique and creates a flawless look without looking heavy. My strength lies in detail-oriented precision makeup application and my ability to interpret my client's vision into reality. I am committed to professionalism and most importantly, quality of work.

I contacted Jesse to help me feel beautiful for my 15 year wedding anniversary. I was hoping for a look unlike anything I could do myself and he absolutely delivered. The way he did my eye makeup truly made me look younger not only in person but through photos as well, which was very important to me. I was also extremely impressed with my eyebrows. I am always so envious looking at other women's brows, wishing I could do the same. He executed them far better than others I've seen. I was as giddy as a school girl when I looked at myself in the mirror through the night.
Not only are Jesse's makeup skill wonderful, he made me feel so comfortable while we were getting ready. He was accommodating and attentive to my needs, silly and playful making my nervousness for my big event disappear. I would highly recommend Jesse to any woman that wants to feel extra special for any event.

I can’t say enough about the beautiful work Jesse did on my wedding day.
Most people probably hire him based off of his amazing before and after’s and positive reviews.
But honestly, after watching his YouTube videos I thought he seemed like good personality fit for me and my friends. I wanted someone that would add an element of fun to the wedding.
I have had my makeup done before and the girl was a stuck up snob. I am a ”tom boy” and not into the thrills and frills of being girlie…. but it still feels nice to dress up now and then and not feel judged.
Jesse was the perfect person for the job!!!!! Everyone in my family and all the brides’ maids adored him. From the moment he showed up he made us feel at ease. He felt like a best friend from the very beginning.
The really amazing thing is, not only did we all LOVE him!!!! He literally made us look incredible. Not cakey or over made up. I looked like the best version of me possible……enhanced, radiant and exactly how I dreamed I would look.
I just didn’t know that was possible…lol
We had age ranges from 16 to 74 and everyone loved the way they looked. He really is a master.
I felt like I was having Kim Kardashian makeup artist apply my makeup on my wedding day. We were still talking about him at the reception.
I am grateful, blessed and so lucky to have found him. It made a wonderful day even better.
Thanks Jesse…I cant express my most sincere gratitude for not only teaching me ways I can improve my makeup skills but for making everyone feel special on the biggest day of my life.

Jesse did the makeup for my sister and her bridesmaids and he did an amazing job! I honestly could not have hoped for a better experience or been happier. I was in charge of doing the booking for my sister because she lives out of state and throughout the whole process Jesse was very easy to communicate with, replied in a timely manner and always answered questions I may have had. It was my first time booking someone for these types of services so I was a bit nervous but as soon as Jesse started working all my nerves were settled. A couple days before the wedding I sent him some photos of a couple looks all the girls liked and the day of he produced. Every girl looked gorgeous and loved her makeup. And we all know pleasing a group of women is hard to do! Jesse also recommended a hair stylist to me who was also fabulous and did a great job on the girls' hair. I 110% recommend Jesse and would hire him again if ever need be!

Talented and sweet, Jesse is fantastic! His makeup is as good as it gets. I LOVED working with him and would not recommend anyone else.
His approach to makeup is exactly what it should be: enhancing the natural beauty and features for every client. He has a gentle touch and allowed me to sparkle in my own particular way. I had done trials with at least 5 other makeup artists and always walked away feeling like a clown. Jesse was exactly the opposite. When I looked in the mirror it was the most beautiful I have ever felt. It was the perfect combination of natural yet glamorous. Exactly what I was looking for! I felt like me –just with allot of extra confidence and glow!
He did my makeup and also my 5 bridesmaids and mother's wedding makeup in June in Sacramento, CA. He was extremely flexible and never took any suggestions personally. He reassured me he would do whatever it takes to "make it perfect" day-of. That is what he did and more! My bridesmaids truly LOVED their makeup and were so excited to get "all pretty" with Jesse.
He was extremely flexible - from our 1st trial to the day of, he listened to all of my concerns and preferences perfectly. He stayed with me to do touchups, which was so important, especially if you shed a little tear at the ceremony (wich I did)!
Hes also extremely responsive and speedy on email, which is always comforting for a bride. I'm wholeheartedly impressed with Jesse and his makeup capabilities. I looked exactly how I imagined I would look when dreaming about my wedding day as a girl. He helped in making it a day I want to live over again and again.
