Cher Jay Lee • The Makeup Artist

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. 💁🏻‍♂️

Eight years of glam with Lauren and we’re still going strong! From her wedding day back in 2017 to birthdays, photoshoots, and so many special moments in between.

She’s someone I always look forward to seeing, catching up with, and who’s supported me through every endeavor. 🙏These are the relationships that make what I do so meaningful (and so much fun)!

Cheers to more glam, more memories, and more Lauren’s in our lives! 🫶

Makeup isn’t just about the final look, it’s about how you feel getting there. If you’re here for flawless artistry, a calm and fun getting-ready vibe, and a look that makes you double-take in the mirror… you’re in the right place! 🫶

After 10+ years in this craft, if you ask me what the formula for success is… it’s [the artistry and the client experience]. Of course the makeup matters but so does every moment of the interaction. From the energy in the space to how you feel in the chair, it all counts.

The truth is, I’m choosing my clients just as much as they’re choosing me. This isn’t just a service, it’s an experience and a connection. One that I want both of us to walk away from feeling full, seen, and uplifted. My loyal clients come back not only for my work, but for how I make them feel. That’s the part I’ll always lead with. 🫶

It’s been a minute since I’ve shared here — but I’ve still been working, more intentionally and selectively, and getting to connect with the most incredible clients, both new and returning.

Recently, I had the joy of doing makeup + hair for this beautiful mama’s maternity shoot. A few years back, I was lucky enough to do her wedding glam as well. A full-circle moment I’ll never take for granted.

There’s something so special about being invited into these milestones. 💛

After 9 years in the beauty industry, it’s still an honor to be chosen as THE makeup artist. 🫶

Meet Ava!
She has never had her makeup professionally done before. Heck, she didn’t even know she was getting her makeup done until the day of! Ava had a special event to attend and mom wanted her to feel extra special so she surprised her with a makeup appointment with me. Kudos to mom for doing her research and finding the best makeup artist in Michigan! 😉
