Makeup By Jacquee 

5.0

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Lake Forest, IL

Hi there! I’m Jacquee. I am a licensed esthetician and freelance makeup artist. I was trained in makeup artistry and hair design at Make Up First in Chicago. My esthetics training was completed at the Universal Spa Training Academy in Downers Grove. So now that we’ve got that out of the way let’s talk about what I can help you with! I’m well versed in all areas of makeup from beauty and bridal to commercial, theatrical, and even special effects. I’m just as comfortable working on a film set as I am working with my brides. I enjoy making people feel good about themselves and I put my all into everything I do.

Jacquee was AMAZING to work with! She completely understood the vibe I was going for with my look and my mom's and bridesmaids' looks. She really listens and takes into account what her clients are asking for and their inspiration points. The morning of the wedding she and her assistant artist arrived exactly on time and they were both relaxed and friendly as they worked their magic. They made the morning run so smoothly. We all felt absolutely beautiful, and our hair and makeup LASTED through the entire evening. Could not have been more pleased!!

She was open to any changes from the trial to the wedding day and took my feedback and executed exactly what I wanted perfectly. My make up lasted though my whole wedding day and evening & looked beautiful in my photos & videos.
