Jesse’s Makeup Artistry
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.

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!

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.

Amazing! Jesse did make up for my bridesmaids and mother of the groom. He nailed the vintage looks I requested and each girl looked glamorous all day long and not at all over done (or cake uppy). His mother of the groom make up was tasteful and she looked like her best self on the big day! I would absolutely recommend Jesse! Not only was he a master of his craft, he was punctual, professional and just fun to hang out with! Thank you Jesse!

Jesse is better than amazing if that makes sense. I went to him not knowing anything about his talents except what I saw on his account. Those pictures do his talent no justice, he is amazing and if ever I need my makeup done again, I will definatly beg him to do it for me. Thanks Jesse.
