Why Inclusive Makeup Artistry Matters in Clearwater

Centering Identity, Not Just Accommodating It

In a world where traditional beauty often excludes the most vibrant among us, Jessa’s mission is different: celebrate, don’t conform. Her clients include Black women, LGBTQIA+ couples, trans and nonbinary individuals—people who have been overlooked in mainstream makeup services.

Creating Comfort for Marginalized Clients

LGBTQIA+, Trans, and Nonbinary Client Focus

Gender-affirming service is a foundation of Jessa’s practice. There are no assumptions—just respect, expertise, and a deep understanding of how beauty aligns with identity.

Specialized Care for Black and Brown Skin

Representation isn’t just about tone—it’s about technique. Jessa excels in working with richly melanated skin, understanding how undertones, texture, and light interact to produce flawless results.
