Better late than never. Makeup on these two gorgeous hunnies for Married at First Sight.
Michelle Le Marissa Meyer

My first time dipping my toes into reality TV, and honestly, I might retire on a high note. I don’t know how I’m supposed to top two women who are this gorgeous, funny, and genuinely sweet.

Special thanks to Kinetic Content, and to the incomparable Alise Buckner — who I would happily work alongside forever, if only to do things FOR THE PLOT.

If anyone is confused, I did the makeup for Marissa and Michelle in MAFS, not Michelle Wight.

Really disappointed in my community today.
This week should have been about celebrating a fun milestone. Instead, I’ve watched someone I considered a friend try to capitalize on it.
We all share talent, models, and clients in this industry. That’s never been the issue. The issue is intentionally inserting yourself into someone else’s moment for your own visibility.
When this artist had a Love Is Blind client featured in People, I didn’t reach out to that client to gain traction and business from her work. I celebrated her win because that’s what professional respect looks like.

You can call it business if you want. I call it character.
And if you didn’t know it already, I have a hard time not calling out bu****it.

Some raw images of past projects straight from camera because Jesse is just that good.
