About Jentry Kelley

 

With her background in artistry, painting her own face in her first master makeup class at age 14 came naturally. At 18 she began working retail cosmetics with lines such as Bobbi Brown, Chanel, and Laura Mercier. After finishing her degree in Business Management she realized her "college job" was actually her TRUE passion. This, in combination with her love for entrepreneurship, led to her developing her own line of cosmetics and skincare in 2011. Her makeup line is now sold in 15+ locations nation wide. 

 

She still meets with clients daily for makeup lessons, head shot makeup, bridal/engagement sessions, and weddings every weekend. Her specialty is natural beauty. A polished version of yourself, yet picture perfect!
