    So insightful!
    I’ve been doing makeup for about 10 years and one thing about this business is you never know enough because the industry is forever growing and everyone does things differently. I’m in a space where I want to renew my perspective because I LOVE doing makeup but some seasons I fall off. I just started listening to your podcast and let me just say I’m here writing things down like crazy because it’s time for me to step into my boss era. Working alone is tough but helpful because I know my expectations and create my own signature. Thank you so much for creating this space!

    I’m so excited for this podcast !!
    I’m so happy that you will be documenting “the middle” part of becoming a successful artist. As artist we don’t always hear that part, so it’s kind of hard to know if your actually doing it right. So thank you for this podcast ! I’m going to tell all of my artist friends to tune in ❤️

    Filling that seemingly ever present gap in the Beauty Industry as a Successful working makeup Artist
    I cannot wait to hear the gems Jaleesa spills. Looking forward to just really getting that insider info and tools to this trade. This was a beautiful Intro into what we can expect from her. A needed resource in this “space” in the beauty industry. She had me when she said everyone seemed to keep their secrets and information to themselves. It’s so true! Thank you for being willing to present, share and empower other Makeup Artists who are in the process of building their own businesses. You Go Girl!!!!
