Former model and wedding planner, Jamie Stevens had a desire for a career that would allow her more artistic expression. Longing for beaches and different career opportunities, Jamie moved to Orange County, California. There she met a group of eclectic artists who put on fashion shows, and she helped out by doing the models make-up. She then discovered that make-up was her true passion.
Jamie moved to Los Angeles and attended the prestigious MKC Beauty Academy of Hollywood. She was schooled by Margaret Kimura and some of the best professionals in the industry. Jamie specializes in make-up and light hair styling for bridal, print, beauty, fashion, and TV/film.
From receiving a college degree, extensive make-up training, and the experience of being a former model, Jamie has a comprehensive understanding of the make-up industry, photography and business. Today Jamie enjoys a career that enables her to help others to look and feel their best, while allowing her to utilize her artistic talents and follow her dream.
