About

My name is Jessalyn I am a licensed esthetician certified makeup artist based out of NH. I love art in general, and making up faces has been a great way for me to utilize my creativity. I still paint from time to time when I actually have time. I have been working as a free lance makeup artist in the New England area for almost 15 years now!

Most of the makeup I do is for weddings and special events, which I love because it's an honor to be a part of someone's important day. It is my passion to make women feel beautiful! Confidence is key! When you feel good about yourself I feel that you can conquer anything! The most rewarding aspect of my career has been the fact that I've helped to build the confidence of so many women that I have worked with.

Aside from weddings I work regularly with Kreativ Studios in NH as their key make-up artist as well as Caroline Talbots in MA where I am their lead gal as well! During my years in college I was into theatrical makeup. I give them the credit for when my roots and makeup got planted and my passion for makeup really bloomed! I tell everyone theater makeup came first "pretty people makeup" came second, and its true!! It was after college that I had worked for Lancome then MAC then on my own!

Talented and kind makeup artist

It was so wonderful working with Jess for our wedding! She did an amazing job with my makeup and my bridal party. She was able to make any tweaks I wanted from the trial and made sure everything looked exactly how I hoped. She is so kind and easy to work with and is truly such a talented makeup artist. She is thoughtful and reassuring and does such a great job making everyone in her chair feel heard and beautiful. I highly recommend you book her for your wedding!

Stunning makeup/Great experience

I can't recommend Jessalyn enough! She did wedding makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and my mom, all on time and absolutely perfect. My mom has rosacea so makeup application can be tough and she literally looked stunning. Jess was also so kind and personable, which was so great on the morning of the wedding. Everyone loved her and their makeup - literally no complaints. At my makeup trial I told Jess what I DIDN'T want (from prior negative experiences) and she did exactly what I asked. We all got so many compliments on our makeup at the wedding. I can't recommend Jessalyn enough - she actually listens to what you want and she's a calming presence on your wedding day.

Absolutely stunning, amazing, and so kind!

Jessalyn was absolutely AMAZING on my wedding day.
Don't walk, but run to book her.
Everyone had nothing but nice things to say about her, and everyone was so in love with their makeup.
She nailed my fairytale glam vision, and I have never felt more beautiful.
Beyond that, she is just incredibly kind, and really kept the vibe up in the room.
Thank you so much for doing an AMAZING job, and please book her if you are thinking about it at all!

A queen and an artist

I hired Jessalyn for my wedding because her work is beautiful. I asked her for sparkly glam and she delivered! My makeup actually came out better than our trial! And I loved my trial makeup! She did 6 maids, 3 moms, and myself BY HERSELF and was on time, and *everyone* loved their makeup. I have never been to a wedding where every single gal actually liked their makeup! She made me feel like a true queen and my face stayed on all day! Thank you!

Married 4/9/22

Jessalyn is the best make up artist in New England! Not only is she the best she is kind, friendly, and professional. From the trial to the actual wedding day she make an anxious bride feel comfortable and beautiful. She also made all of my bridesmaids feel the same. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Jessalyn is truly the most kind, flexible, and professional stylist out there! She listens to your wants and will make you feel beyond beautiful!

I worked with Jessalyn for my wedding on October 8, 2021. Choosing her as both myself and my bridesmaids makeup stylist was one of the best decisions I made. Without a doubt, Jessalyn was one of my absolute favorite vendors to work with. Jessalyn is the kindest, most easy going person. I found her through Instagram as she was the tagged stylist in a friend’s New Hampshire wedding photos. Prior to my wedding, I spoke with Jessalyn on the phone about what I was looking for in terms of my special day makeup. I had told her how I had a bad experience with a makeup trial, one in which the stylist gave me the complete opposite of what I had been looking for. Jessalyn listened to my vision and how I was looking to get very natural makeup that made me feel like myself. I had a trial at her home where her precious and adorable little son was if I might add! I was ecstatic when she showed me my makeup in the mirror. It was better than I could have imagined. She took every request, worry, want, need, etc. into consideration and gave me the most beautiful natural makeup. On the day of the wedding, it was no different. Not only did she make me feel stunning on my wedding day, but she gave that same feeling to my entire wedding party. I had bridesmaids saying, “I have never been in a wedding where every single girl loved their makeup and every single girl looked this amazing!” Jessalyn was a rockstar, and she alone did myself and 15 others’ makeup. Absolutely incredible! All of our makeup lasted the entire day and night. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get married in New Hampshire or the surrounding areas!

Wedding makeup

I cannot recommend Jessalyn for your wedding makeup enough. She made every bridesmaid look gorgeous and I felt beautiful for my big day. It POURED all day long and we insisted on going outside for pictures and my makeup didn’t budge or run. That’s how good she is. If you want an easy and fun experience that helps you feel and look like an elevated version of yourself; hire Jessalyn. Thanks again for everything. :)

Best of the best

Jessalyn is amazing at what she does. She made me and my bridesmaids look and feel our absolute best. I wanted a natural look because I don't normally wear makeup and she nailed it. The makeup lasted all day and into the night. Can't recommend her enough. Don't wait and book her now!

The best in the business!!!

I was very fortunate to have Jessalyn apply my makeup for my wedding on 12/01/2017, along with my maid-of-honor's as well. I learned about Jessalyn from my friend Krystal Labranche who has been blessed by Jessalyn's amazing talent for her photo shoots. Not only is Jessalyn the best makeup artist I have ever worked with, she is also incredibly sweet, funny, kind, and a joy to be around (especially on your wedding day when you're a nervous wreck). Jessalyn made me and my maid-of-honor feel very relaxed & comfortable, and we were beyond thrilled with the results. I am looking very much looking forward to booking Jessalyn for my next big day! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Jessalyn for your makeup sessions, she is truly the best in the business!!

Felt like a princess!

I immediately thought of Jessalyn for my big day after working a wedding up in Mount Washington last year (doing hair) where she was the MUA. I was so impressed with her work and her attitude. Her style of makeup fits exactly the style I wanted for my wedding. I had so much fun at my trial and she was incredibly flexible the day of, helping my bridesmaids and my mom find the look they wanted! Jess is the sweetest soul and so talented. I would highly recommend her!
