Cher Jay Lee - Detroit Makeup Artist

A closer look at this Asian beauty-inspired bridal glam from my trip to Ohio. ❤️

Dewy, skin-like complexion, softly defined eyes with subtle aegyo sal, and diffused lips. We took inspiration from the photos my bride shared and brought everything together to create a look that felt soft, fresh, and true to her.

Another glam for my longtime client and friend, Emily! 🫶 Our appointments are basically equal parts catch-up, hangout, and makeup at this point. This time, we were getting her wedding guest ready.

One minute I’m in coffee shop owner mode, the next I’m headed to Toledo for a makeup client. Two completely different worlds, but both feel exactly like me. I pour all of me into what I do, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🫶

✅ Soft, luminous skin with just enough definition to enhance your features without covering you up.

❌ Matte with highlighter on top. Heavy. Cakey. Dry. Creasing everywhere.

Glowy makeup paired with soft definition and effortless waves for Sue for her son’s wedding.

I love creating polished, wearable looks that still feel completely like you, especially when it comes to enhancing Asian features. ✨

Setup and ready for another makeup sesh. ✨

These last few months have been busier than usual, but I’m here for it! Love getting to work with so many new and familiar faces.

One of the coolest parts of what I do isn’t just the artistry—it’s the people. I meet more out-of-state (and even out-of-country) clients than local ones… which always means a little something extra to me.

Peri came in from Houston for her pregnancy announcement photoshoot, and Detroit was one of their last stops as they’ve been traveling to different cities for baseball games. Being part of a moment like that, in a city that’s part of their story… I don’t take that lightly.

Grateful for the stories, the trust, and the people who find their way to my chair. ❤️

Soft glam, effortless hair, and confidence that does the rest. Loved creating this look for my beautiful client. ✨

Lauren reached out for guest glam for a friend’s wedding. Natural, glowy, and effortless was the goal. She knew she didn’t like false lashes or winged liner, and honestly, I always appreciate when someone is confident in what they do and don’t want. It makes the whole process easier and smoother for both of us.

She shared several amazing inspo photos, including some of my own work, so needless to say, working with Lauren was perfection! 🫶

2025 was about slowing down where needed, leveling up where it mattered, and moving with intention—curating energy, elevating moments, and staying focused on what counts. Grateful for the forward motion through it all. 🫶

[What I’m carrying into 2026]

• Focused energy
• Intentional moments
• Elevated experiences
• Thoughtful flow
• Trust in the process
• Calm, purposeful rhythms
• Quality over quantity

Less noise. More refinement. More alignment. More purpose. Here’s to stepping into 2026 with clarity, passion, and unapologetic intention.✨

Opening night of tour! ✨ & brought ALL the iconic energy - and yes, I was front row wilding! Came suited and booted for a night of legendary vocals because a true Brandy fan can’t show up casual. 💁🏻‍♂️
