About Jessica
Hey there! I'm Jessica Saint, a passionate and internationally recognized Makeup and Hair Artist, Esthetician, and Wig Stylist. With a rich history of over two decades of experience in the beauty industry, I bring an unwavering commitment to delivering exquisite results.
I'm based out of Philadelphia, NYC, and NOLA, with artists and clients also in Arizona, North Carolina, and New Jersey, but my team and I travel worldwide!
My passion lies in creating stunning vintage makeup and hair looks, but my versatility knows no bounds. Whether it's timeless elegance or avant-garde creativity, I can bring any style to life. I put a huge focus on skincare in every makeup application, ensuring a radiant and healthy complexion for every client. I take a very French approach to beauty in my daily routines and for clients who desire a more natural look. My portfolio, filled with collaborations with esteemed artists and appearances at prestigious events, is a testament to this. I've even had the incredible opportunity to lend my expertise to Broadway productions, including The Lion King and Dr. Dolittle.
My extensive portfolio includes work on feature-length films, commercials, documentaries, and other productions. That said, I also love bold looks and will never give up on avant-garde or vintage styles.
I am proud to have been recognized for my artistic prowess. It was a true honor to achieve a Top 5 placement in the Editorial Makeup category in 2022 and Top 50 in The One Shot Hair Awards in 2023. I also received a semi-finalist spot in Avant-Garde Makeup and Best Makeup Art at the esteemed IBI Beauty Awards in 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, I proudly earned the title of Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist of the Year for two consecutive years at the Global Wedding Awards and Best of Zola for 2024.
As of Spring 2024, I have accepted a position as an educator with The Makeup Academy NYC. While I've been an educator for well over a decade, I am excited to be a part of a makeup school teaching the next generation of Makeup Artists!
Beyond my passion for beauty, I believe in making a positive impact. My company, Jessica Saint Beauty, is an LGBTQIA+ women-owned business where I've spent years providing gender-affirming makeovers and catering to the LGBTQIA+ community. It brings me joy to contribute my skills to such a meaningful cause.
Are you looking to collaborate on fashion and beauty campaigns, productions, commercial shoots, or TV/Film projects? Perhaps you're planning your special day and want a wedding look that will leave everyone speechless. Look no further—I’m here to make your vision a reality. If my schedule is full, don't worry—I have a talented team to ensure every client receives the exceptional service they deserve.
Get in touch with me, and let's embark on a transformative beauty journey together. Your next level of radiance awaits!
