Jessica deBen

Cannot recommend enough! I have a huge tattoo that Jess covered for my wedding and literally you would NEVER know. I was amazed, everyone was amazed.

Jessica is a fantastic makeup instructor! I was looking to polish up my look and learn how to apply my makeup for circumstances where it would be beneficial for me to appear strong and confident, yet also warm and approachable. It's a tough aesthetical balancing act that I'm sure many women have had to learn to tackle at some point in their professional lives. Within 90 minutes, Jessica really helped me bump up my skills using easily replicable techniques, and products that if I didn't already own, could be sourced with minimal costs.

Not only is Jessica wonderfully talented, but she also made me feel comfortable in my skin and well at ease while I was in her chair. She is great to talk with and has a very warm and generous personality. She was happy to have me there, and I was just as happy to be there. I'd recommend her to anyone wanting to look their personal best. I left our appointment just glowing :)

Jessica is a magician with make up and styling! I have had my make up done many times for professional purposes over the years and Jessica's results are the best that I have ever seen. She is passionate and creative about her craft, has a great eye for other areas like outfit and eyebrows as well and makes it fun. Most recently she got me ready for Oscar night and made me look and feel feel like a movie star! Thank you Jessica! You are truly the best at what you do.

I met Jessica when I was doing modeling for clothing line catalog. I was very impressed how beautiful my makeup came out. I've been doing modeling for over 20 years and working with lots of MUAs, but nobody can compare with her work ! It is absolutely is exceptional!

I found Jessica on Thumbtack.com. I was researching for a local makeup artist for my engagement photos and my special day. Jessica is a beautiful, heart warming person. She was very kind enough to invite me to her home for my makeup trial. She is so patient and attentive to what im looking for. Not at all pushy about what might look good on me. I felt comfortable in my skin. My make up was a natural bridal look with a hint of sparkle here and there. She made me feel beautiful. My photos came out fantastic! That air brush i tell you, that'll do it! Of course she was booked for the big day, no brainer.

On my wedding day, I couldn't ask for a better makeup artist/friend than Jessica. She did an amazing job with my whole bridal party, plus 2 more people than I originally asked for. Weather it was simple natural look or the bold glamorous look my sister wanted, she made everyone look terrific! We were right on scheduled time. Im so blessed to have met Jessica. She is so friendly and caring about things that wasn't even makeup related. She is respectful and understanding of a bride's reasonable budget. I will be definitely working with Jessica again! I love her! Xoxo

This is a little late posting, but Jessica did an updo and makeup for my son's wedding over Labor Day weekend! She's amazing! She puts you at ease like a friend. My makeup was perfect, not overstated, but elegant! Next time I have a special occasion, Jessica will be my first call!

I was real surprised when I yelped for Jessica after she had done the make up for my sister's wedding, that no one has reviewed for her here. Considering Jessica's resume and extensive experience with make up, I figured she would have a lot of yelp reviews, but I am happy to be the first.

I'm not quite sure how my sister found Jessica in the numerous make up artists in the wedding industry, but I'm sure glad she found her. My sister is more of the conservative type for make up and really wanted someone that would not go too extravagant. When we first met Jessica for the make up trial, Jessica was real sweet and very open. She really translated well with make up what my sister had asked for. She gave some tips and advice on skin care and other things to prepare for prior to the wedding. One perk with Jessica is that she gives free make up trials. Looking for the right make up artist for a big day like a wedding can be it's own budget, so this was nice of Jessica.

On the day of the wedding, Jessica was nothing short of professional. Not only did she do eveyone's make up, and then some, but she was helpful to other tasks my sister wanted done, regardless if it wasn't in her job description. The whole bridal party thought Jessica was real nice and very helpful in picking out a look that really flattered the person. Hope there is another wedding soon that we can use Jessica!

I originally found Jessica on a whim while searching through ThumbTack.com. I frequently go out to parties and attend different events and I wanted to find an amazing hair and makeup artist that would come to my home for a reasonable fee. Before Jessica, I had tried out a ton of different vendors and their work was less than impressive. Jessica has been doing my hair and makeup now for about 1 year and she never fails to impress. She is extremely versatile and if I'm looking to achieve a specific look, she always nails it. I'm getting married next month and I chose Jessica to do my hair and makeup for what will be the most important event so far in my life.

In addition to being a fantastic hair and makeup artist, Jessica is just an absolute pleasure to be around. It's also amazing, that in LA (a place that's known for unreliable and flakey people) Jessica is always on time, if not 5 minutes early.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a versatile, talented, and accomplished hair and makeup artist in the LA area.

Jessica was a referral for a wedding make up artist. I initially liked her work because of how it photographs. Her makeup shows up amazing in photos! My style for the wedding was natural, supple and simple. Jess executed flawlessly. She also did my Engagement photos and we used a bolder color palette. She has style, good taste and is professional, easy to work with and arrives with a light, fun and personable personality. What more can you ask for in a teammate on an important and intimate event such as a wedding.
