About
Hi my name is Jenni. I have been working as a makeup artist for the last 10 years. I've been obsessed with makeup ever since I was told I wasn't allowed to do it. I studied everything I could get my hands on and began working in theater and arts. From there I honed my skills at MAC for 7 years, taking appointments on a regular basis where I worked on a diverse group of people with different goals. I love when a client see's what I see and the happiness they get from it. It's the power of the transformation and it's the process of creating living art that brings me joy. Whatever your makeup needs are, I got you.
IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: I unfortunately don't provide hair services. I do have a few stylist I can recommend but I myself do not have the capacity to do both hair and makeup.

Jenni G absolutely killed it on my wedding day! My makeup was flawless, photographed beautifully, and still felt like me. She paid attention to every little detail and knew exactly how to enhance my features.
I received so many compliments throughout the day, and looking back at my wedding photos, I couldn’t be happier with how everything came together. She was incredibly talented, professional, and made me feel completely taken care of. I truly couldn’t have asked for better—10/10 would recommend her to any bride!

Jenni was an absolute dream to work with! Friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, and the definition of professionalism. She was able to achieve the perfect look for our entire wedding party. Our original makeup artist cancelled on us a couple weeks before the wedding, but we feel like that was a blessing, because Jenni was the perfect person for the job.

Jenni was friendly and responsive. She did my makeup for my wedding and did a wonderful job. She even gave me a lip gloss so I could touch up throughout the day. I would highly recommend her!
