One of the most common requests I get personally and here at weddingbee, is for Asian makeup artists. So I’m always on the lookout for great new artists I can refer people to.
I recently saw Los Angeles makeup artist Jessica Lee featured on VivaLaMonkee’s blog. Jessica is a Korean makeup artist that studied at the Shu Uemura Institute in Japan and the Makeup Forever Institute in Paris. She has been a professional makeup artist for over 15 years working with celebrities and Miss Korea contestants before coming to the Los Angeles studio where she now works.
She has a really nice portfolio of before and afters, and I hear she’s been getting rave reviews from brides to be.
Jessica doesn’t come cheap though - bridal makeup starts at $400 and you have to come to her studio (which is typical in Koreatown).
Have you or anyone you know worked with Jessica? It’d be good to have some place to refer brides to other than Hills and Andre in Koreatown. Judging from her portfolio, her work looks fantastic. A good Asian makeup artist is so hard to find…
Ya..what a big difference. They look like a totally different person.
All I can say is WOW!!!
OMG~That second girl …. looks like 2 different people!
I got my hair & makeup done at Tocco in Koreatown (LA) - it was like 4 years ago, though. I think most of them moved on to Hills Salon.
HOLY COW! this makeup artist is awesome!
YES, incredible transformation but too FAKE! To doll yourself up to the point where no one knows you is a dis-service to yourself. It’s somewhat degrading to yourself. Be proud of your natural features and beauty.
WOW! the second woman looks great! I realize she looks like a completely different person, but in response to jenn’s above comment. I highly doubt this woman goes out with no makeup at all on a daily basis. And I think thats why she looks soooo different b/c her before has no makeup at all. I think the make up does not look fake, it actually looks like she is wearing minimal makeup. Also you can tell the lighting is a big help in the two pictures, just look at the background.
Jessica is at Hair Day in K-Town right next to the K-Town Plaza. The building is bright orange so you can’t miss it.
I actually got my wedding makeup done by her. And she did a wonderful job. I just hope she doesn’t put my before and after shot on her website.
do you know of an excellent makeup artist in SF, Cali or the bay area?
maybe we could have a page dedicated to makeup artists? thanks
whoa that looks great! if only she were close to me! 
Wow - anyone know of someone in Boston that can do the same!
makeup artist page would be great, I’m having such a hard time finding one myself here in ny
i totally agree with jenn… the 2nd set of pictures doesn’t even look like the same girl…
holy shit the second picture is amazing
Wow, that’s amazing!
I second mn’s thoughts. I’m in the bay area too and I’m having trouble finding a great make-up artist. =)
I could never spend that much on makeup, but it definitely looks like she is worth every penny if you can afford it.
it doesn’t even look like them
i just looked at the website and jessica is amazing.
alot of her clients are really into tiaras.
