Description
The Women in Business Committee is excited to welcome Jennifer Duvall of JennySue Makeup as our speaker for May!
Jennifer will talk about how she started her business and how she leverages social media to grow her business and attract clients. She will also share tips on following your passion as well as her favorite makeup tips and tricks!
More about Jennifer:Like many young girls, I grew up watching my own mother do her makeup. I was fascinated by the transformation she took on with her many steps, products, and how glamorous she looked when she was done! I became a ballet dancer growing up and took what I learned from my mom about how to apply my own makeup for my performances throughout my childhood and teenage years. I soon realized I enjoyed applying those dramatic makeup looks I had to wear on stage (so the audience could see my face better) almost more than the actual dancing part!
On into college, I acted as the resident makeup artist for my sorority sisters and used many of them as my guinea pigs for practicing various makeup looks! I graduated with a degree in Fashion Merchandising from the University of Georgia and but knew in the back of my head that the art of doing makeup was more than just a hobby.
One of my favorite quotes:
I believe that all women are pretty without makeup. And can be pretty powerful with the right makeup.
-Bobbi Brown
Right out of college I started on the cosmetics floor at a Nordstrom in Atlanta in 2000. After leaving the retail world for the wholesale fashion industry, I continued to book various freelance makeup jobs and weddings on the side for extra money. Once my husband Scott and I moved out of Atlanta and back to Athens, Ga (where we met at college) I decided to take my love of makeup artistry to the next level and start my own small business. We currently live in Watkinsville with our three children, Jack, Walker and Vivian.
