A Southern belle who grew antsy working behind a makeup counter in Dallas, Texas, Jennifer Fleming packed her kit and headed for the great city of New York to pursue her dreams. Jennifer decided to put her imprint on the makeup world with one simple philosophy: clean, beautiful makeup, and a satisfied client. Six years of runways, ad shoots and everything in between, Jennifer is inspired by art, travel, and culture, while still finding influence in everyday people and places, in everyday life. She has worked with clients ranging from COVERGIRL to the NBA. Her editorial work can be found in Rolling Stone, YRB, and Women’s Health. Recent trips to India and Europe have influenced and redefined her approach to, and reignited her love for, all things beauty.
