Specializing in makeup for Black women, POC, LGBTQIA+, and diverse clients of all abilities.
From weddings to editorial, my inclusive makeup artistry highlights your unique beauty with accessible, personalized services across Tampa Bay.
She waited 41 years for a proper shade match.
41 years of beauty shopping.
41 years of appointments.
41 years of being told “this should work.”
And somehow…no one matched her correctly until now.
That’s not a client problem.
That’s an industry problem.
Black women are expected to lower their standards, bring their own products, or accept makeup that looks gray, orange, or completely disconnected from their actual skin tone.
You deserve better than that.
Correct undertones.
No ashiness.
No flashback.
No guessing.
Just makeup that looks like your skin—beautifully matched and camera-ready.
And it should’ve happened a long time ago...
How many times have you been matched wrong? Sound off in the comments 👇🏽

Out of studio, but bookings are still open. ✈️
I’m currently traveling for work this week, which means email and DM responses may be a little slower than usual.
That said—wedding, event, editorial, and production bookings are still open, and new inquiries are always welcome.
If you’ve been meaning to reach out about your wedding, photoshoot, event, campaign, or production project, you can still submit an inquiry through my website while I’m away: jessajaguar.com
I’ll be responding to messages in the order they’re received once I return.
Thank you for your patience and for continuing to trust Jessa Jaguar LLC with your biggest moments. I’ll be back soon. 💜
You shouldn't have to teach the makeup artist how to do your makeup.
You shouldn't have to bring your own foundation.
And yet…so many Black women do.
Because too many have been shade matched wrong. Turned gray in photos.
Given undertones that don’t belong to them. Made to feel like an afterthought.
That isn’t insecurity. That’s learned self-protection.
And the beauty industry has earned that distrust.
But it shouldn’t be your normal.
In my chair, matching deeper skin tones is not an afterthought...it’s part of the artistry.
Because makeup should make you feel seen. Not corrected. Not muted. Not covered over.
Just elevated.
When complexion is understood, the whole experience changes. Calmer. Safer. More beautiful. More you.
If you’ve ever brought your own foundation to an appointment…I know there’s a story there.
Tell me in the comments—or send this to someone who will feel seen by this. 💜

I’m incredibly honored to share that Jessa Jaguar LLC has been named a 2026 Quality Business Award Winner and recognized as the Best Makeup Artist in Largo, Florida.
This recognition reflects the care, intention, and inclusivity I bring to every client experience. My goal has always been to create a space where people of all identities feel seen, respected, and confident in their beauty.
To every client who has trusted me — thank you. Your support made this possible.
If you’re planning a wedding or special event in the Tampa Bay area, I’d love to be part of your day.
Inquiries are open: https://jessajaguar.com/wedding-inquiry/
Some people worry about how they’ll look.
You’re thinking about something else entirely.
-Will I be respected?
-Will I be misgendered?
-Will I have to correct someone just to get through the appointment?
That shouldn’t be part of getting ready.
A makeup appointment should feel calm. Comfortable. Like you can sit down and just exist without having to explain yourself first.
-Your name.
-Your pronouns.
-Your identity.
Handled with care and consistency. Not as a favor. Not as a trend. Just as a baseline.
If you’ve ever felt tense walking into a beauty space, I understand why. And you deserve better than that experience.
I'm Jessa, an inclusive makeup artist serving St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and the Tampa Bay area. LGBTQ+ affirming. All identities welcome 💜
