"Only a few people are meant to be artists." — No.

💄 Maybe someone once told you you either have it or you don’t.

đź’„ Maybe you believe creativity is handed out randomly, and you somehow missed your turn.
 
💄 Or that “real” makeup artists roll out of bed, sip their coffee, and create flawless looks before noon.

Sounds familiar?

What looks like magic in other artists? That’s just persistence, practice, and a lot of trial and error.

PATIENCE. COMMITMENT. LOVE FOR THE PROCESS.

These are what actually shape an artist.

Sure, some people might start a little ahead. But if you’re open to learning, willing to make mistakes, and excited to grow, you’ve got everything you need to create meaningful beauty.

And I’m right here with you. To guide you, share tools, and cheer you on every step of the way.

Let’s go. Brushes in hand, palettes ready because the journey starts now.

Makeup is a skill anyone can learn!

Are you into beauty and thinking about diving into a new creative outlet?
Do you love playing with colors, blending, and experimenting, but feel like your looks aren’t quite where you want them to be?
Or maybe you’ve been practicing on your own and you're ready to take your makeup game to the next level?

Makeup is an expressive, hands-on art form, and yes, anyone can learn it!

I designed this course for anyone who loves the world of beauty - whether you're brand new to makeup or already blending shadows and perfecting your base just for fun.

Hi everyone, I’m Jess 

I’m a former elementary school teacher, I used to teach grade 7 and 8, with a specialty in music. Growing up, I always thought I’d have a career in music… but life had other plans!

I’ve always loved Halloween, and over time, that love turned into crafting really elaborate costumes — which eventually led me to face paint. I had so much fun painting during the spooky season that I just kept going, even after Halloween ended. What started as a once-a-year hobby quickly turned into a creative obsession.

As I shared my work online, things started to grow — and eventually, I made the leap and left teaching to pursue makeup full-time. But as much as I love being creative, I found myself really missing the classroom. So I decided to bring both of my passions together: teaching and makeup.

That’s how the MakeItJess Classroom was born — a space for beginner-friendly, budget-conscious SFX lessons that are fun, approachable, and easy to follow.

I’m so excited you’re here, and I can’t wait to help you get started with special effects makeup!
