Kat DeJesus

With over 20 years of experience as a professional makeup artist, Kat has learned that make-up artistry is more than the latest trends and products. Her experience with high fashion photoshoots, music videos, store ads, commercials, and television has taught her the relevance of color theory, texture, and placement. As a highly experienced makeup artist, she knows there is a science involved in your beauty regimen and a purpose behind each look. Understanding the geometry of a face, the arch of a brow, the texture of the skin, and the colors that highlight a person’s natural features are the specific skills that Kat brings to each set and occasion. As a former student of the program herself, she understands the love there is in the details. This is the experience and passion she brings to her students. Born in Colorado, raised in Chicago, and back again, Kat 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 Kat at the forefront of beauty trends and highly sought after for creative partnerships. She is also a permanent student actively seeking new skills, techniques, and business tips that she can bring back to her classroom.
