Ep 58 - Pretty Smart Kat DeJesus
Makeup artistry is more than just making pretty. There are many considerations, from event type and location to print versus film, lighting, wearability, and intention . . . As a professional, some of these things you learn the hard way, but none are as important as skin health!
In this episode, we discuss one makeup pro\u2019s journey from behind the makeup counter, through a successful makeup artistry career, and on to becoming a licensed esthetician (and now teacher). Find out what Kat DeJesus has learned along the way as she shares her story, as well as some advice for those just starting out, or those who have been in the game for a while.

About Kat DeJesus:
With over\xa020 years as a professional makeup artist, Kat DeJesus\u2019s experience taught her that within the art of professionally applied makeup there also lies a science. Understanding the geometry of a face, the arch of a brow, the texture of the skin, and the colors that highlight a person\u2019s natural features are the specific skills she brings to each set and occasion. Born in Colorado and raised in Chicago, DeJesus has a unique approach to style and makeup that is enriched by her diverse experience and the cultural references she encounters every day. This appreciation for diversity and zest for knowledge keeps her on the forefront of beauty trends and highly sought after for creative partnerships. DeJesus is highly acclaimed for her professionalism and skill on high-fashion photo shoots, music videos, store ads, commercials, and television shows, but it\u2019s her genuine ability to connect with people that leaves a lasting impression.\xa0She brings her knowledge into the educational side of things by sharing her experience as an esthetics educator at the School of Botanical and Medical Aesthetics\xa0in downtown Denver.

In addition to running a skin care practice, Cressman founded a comprehensive consulting group, the HHP Collective, and has consulted for several skin care lines, including several successful CBD brands.

About our Sponsor: Antedotum
\xa0
Antedotum founder Karina Perez\xa0Marconi was\xa0raised on the island of Puerto Rico (born to a Cuban dad and Puerto Rican mom), which meant consistent sun exposure from an early age\u2014and cumulative sun damage for the Latina\u2019s olive skin.\u202fFor decades, Marconi was plagued by dark spots, which were compounded by lingering, postpartum melasma after the birth of her daughter, Havana.\u202fWorking for many years in beauty at Chanel\u2019s New York headquarters deepened Marconi\u2019s understanding of premium\xa0skin care. But\xa0finding an antidote to her skin aliments remained elusive.\u202fWhen the family relocated to Aspen, Colorado, the unforgiving mountain climate of dry air, high altitude, wind, sun, and cold only intensified her skin conditions.\u202f\xa0
\xa0
Colorado is where Marconi took her curiosity of CBD and its purported curative abilities and started to sample an assortment of oils and balms.\u202fNone of them smelled or looked great, but to her surprise, her skin started to transform. This unexpected discovery evolved into\xa0Antedotum.
