1-on-1 Training Rooted in Real-World Artistry and Inclusive Beauty
At Jaguar Makeup Academy, makeup is more than technique — it’s transformation, self-trust, and creative freedom. This is a 1-on-1 private training experience for aspiring artists, performers, professionals, and everyday beauty lovers who want to learn makeup in a way that actually reflects them.
Led by certified makeup artist and educator Jessa Jaguar, this program is customized around your goals. Whether you’re new to makeup or going pro, Jaguar Makeup Academy meets you with inclusive, real-world skill-building. Jessa brings nearly twenty years of experience in weddings, film, fashion, performance, editorial, and commercial makeup sessions. Her teaching approach is inclusive, trauma-informed, affirming, and deeply personalized. No gatekeeping. No intimidation. No one-size-fits-all makeup “rules.” Just guidance that honors your unique features, your culture, your story, and your vision.
You’ll explore topics like: (1) Prepping sensitive or melanin-rich skin, (2) Matching and sculpting complexions, (3) Applying makeup for performance, stage, or on-camera work, (4) Building your kit and following sanitation best practices, (5) Creating looks with lashes, liner, and editorial glam, (6) Providing affirming services for LGBTQIA+ clients, and (7) Learning business basics for aspiring makeup professionals — and more!
I pace each session with care and intention because real artistry takes time and thrives in a safe, affirming space. Whether you’re mastering your own makeup, refining your craft, or building an inclusive business, Jaguar Makeup Academy supports your growth.
I’m here to help you rise — brush in hand, chin held high, and your beauty fully honored.
Makeup artist training for the community, by the community.
