On this week's episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Jeffrey Wright to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Jeff has been working as a professional Makeup Artist for the last 17 years in the Washington, DC (and surrounding) area. A graduate from Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Corcoran School of Art and Design in Washington, DC, he lends an artistic eye to his approach to makeup and treats his subjects face as a three dimensional canvas. His resume includes working and consulting for such prestigious cosmetic brands; including Bobbi Brown, Dior, Benefit, Smashbox, Laura Mercier and M.A.C. Cosmetics. Jeff's philosophy is to help women (and men) of all ages define their best features and build their self-esteem and confidence through the power of makeup. “By refining someone's exterior, it allows them to be more confident and gives them the ability to open up and let their true personality radiate”. “Makeup is powerful! It can change one's demeanor, boost confidence and stop an admirer dead in his or her tracks”. Jeff is a self taught Makeup Artist who has had the pleasure to be coached by a few well respected industry legends such as: Sam Fine, Valente Frazier, Renny Vasquez and Danessa Myricks. During our chat we talked about how we met, setting boundaries, client retention, learning from the greats, sustaining longevity and so much more. Enjoy this episode!
