MAKEUP ARTIST Jennifer Bueno

As the founder and owner of beauty-to-be, Jennifer Bueno has earned the recognition of being one of the most preeminent and sought after makeup artists in San Diego and Orange County. She continues to evolve in her career and is consistently researching the best products and techniques within the beauty industry, making her more skilled in her craft. She successfully maintains a balance in her career as she manages her bridal clientele while freelancing during the week for her print and commercial clients. Jennifer’s work has been published in various magazines including Coast, Inside Weddings, Riviera, Modern Bride Southern California, Orange Coast, San Diego Style Weddings, Razor Magazine, and Town & Country.

 

Born and raised in San Diego, Jennifer discovered a love for makeup artistry, something that incorporated her natural artistic abilities, and her interests in beauty, fashion, and photography. As a teenager, she enjoyed applying makeup on herself and her friends as she practiced with different products and colors, and created new looks based on what she learned in books, magazines, and on television. Jennifer began using M.A.C. products in 1993, and enrolled in their spring 1994 seminar to learn more about their latest products and techniques. She was chosen by Senior Makeup Artist Gregory Arlt to be the model for his demonstration and from that day on she knew she too would become a professional makeup artist.

 
Later that year she moved to New York City to pursue a career in the fashion industry. Jennifer assisted a fashion photographer and helped with numerous tasks including casting and scheduling photo shoots with the world’s top modeling agencies, assisting both in the studio and on location, while working alongside with professional makeup artists and fashion stylists in the industry. During Fashion Week in the spring of 1995, she assisted backstage at the shows for designers Cynthia Rowley and Nicole Miller, and attended Marc Jacobs and Ghost. Later that year, Jennifer worked as a photo assistant for both Entertainment Weekly and InStyle Magazine. These experiences enabled Jennifer to learn something new each and every day in the exciting fields of makeup artistry, photography, and both the fashion and entertainment industries.
 
In 1996, after returning to California, Jennifer put her career as a makeup artist on hold for three years while she managed the sales and production of Brystan Studios, a high-end photography studio in Orange County. She knew makeup artistry was her true calling and from 1999-2000, Jennifer studied and trained to become a licensed esthetician, thus making her a licensed makeup artist. After graduation, she went on to continue her education in advanced skin care at The International Dermal Institute in Los Angeles. During this time she also did makeup and hair design for photo shoots and weddings and worked as a freelance makeup artist for Hard Candy Cosmetics and MTV.
 
Jennifer decided to create her own company and website to reach prospective clients and in the spring of 2001, Venus Makeup Artistry was born. Since then, Jennifer has successfully worked with hundreds of brides, taking part in making their wedding dreams a reality. In 2003, Venus Makeup Artistry evolved into what is now beauty-to-be, offering makeup and hair design exclusively for the bride-to-be while setting a new standard in today’s wedding industry.
