Jess Vilaysane
I am a Pro Makeup Artist with over 12+ years experience. Makeup has been a passion of mine since I was just a pre-teen. I use Makeup as a creative outlet, it definitely helped me get through tough days growing up, it gave me something to look forward to. I started watching YouTube videos religiously and I taught myself as much as I could. When I started working at cosmetic counters straight out of high school, I knew that this was something that was going to be stuck with me forever. I’ve worked at MAC Cosmetics as a permanent artist til 2015. I’ve always freelanced and I’ve gotten the chance to work with Models and Celebrities for Fashion week, Runway, Media, TV and Commercial. I specialize in Soft Glam looks for any occasion but I love to dabble into creative and editorial work as well. I’m also an Instructor/Makeup Artistry Educator, I host master classes for other Makeup Artists, teaching my techniques and spreading positivity through beauty means so much to me!
I offer luxury Bridal Makeup and created “Bridal Baes” a beauty team specifically for Bridal. I work all throughout the U.S. and I get to travel all around the world for destination weddings. Having the honor of doing one’s makeup for their special day means the absolute most to me. I feel so blessed every time I’m chosen and because of that, I am opening my very own Bridal Lounge for 2025 which will consist of both a Salon and Lounge area to get ready in for your big day!
I am the owner of JV Beauty Studio, my team and I genuinely love making others feel beautiful inside and out! I think the best feeling is when a client looks at herself after her makeup application and feels the most confident, the most beautiful, and all around sexy! We all deserve to pamper ourselves and feel our best - all the time!
