The JKo Beauty Lip Collection

I am so very excited to announce the official launch of the

JKo Beauty Lip Collection! 

I began this special project over 4 years ago with the mission to create a luxurious lip collection specifically for brides. Creating a collection that is luxurious, made with integrity and of high-quality, professional-grade ingredients and of course in chic packaging, is the top priority for me. The entire collection is also hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic, fragrance free and not tested on animals. After ongoing research and testing (then more testing) and so much more, my collection is complete and now available! This curated collection consists of lipsticks and glosses in a variety of textures and finishes, lip lacquers and two formulas of lip liners. The shade range is classic, romantic and timeless – perfect for a wedding day look as well as for after the Big Day.

Jennifer’s Bridal Beauty Tips

The one thing I always tell anyone getting their makeup done that they will need for touchups is their lip look. I often use the phrase “lip look” because almost always the ideal look is more than one product, it is often times three or more items to create the perfect look that we desire. This is one of the reasons that the collection consists of a variety of formulas, finishes, textures in all three categories. 

 A beauty tip that I share with every bride is to consider a different shade or texture for the reception. My recommendation is something a bit more fun and festive, after all it is the celebration party! A few good examples are a brighter or bolder lip, or a shiny or even sparkly finish.  

Another bridal beauty tip I share is to choose something that is new so that is special. This way every time you wear it you will have that warm, fuzzy feeling thinking back to your wedding day. If it’s your regular favorite – purchase a new one for your Big Day so that it feels special. A fresh, new product also looks great in your getting ready photos and video. 

5 Reasons to Book a High-End Professional Makeup Artist for Your Wedding Day

Your wedding day will be one of the very best days of your life. It certainly was my best day ever - at least so far! I wish I could do it every year! It's that one day when everyone you love comes together to celebrate the union of you and your other half. You will laugh and you will cry, you will dance, hug, kiss and you'll be photographed well over a thousand times.

For this big day, choose reputable professionals who specialize in weddings. As a makeup artist specializing in bridal makeup, I can share with you factors you should be looking for in a makeup artist. While there is a multitude of advantages of choosing a high-end professional makeup artist, here are 5 top examples.

1. Someone you can absolutely count on for your big day. I often hear stories of the artist canceling last minute on the bride. This does not happen with true professionals. In the very rare event of an emergency or unforeseen extreme circumstance, a professional will have a network of other artists to refer you to.

2. Hygiene and Sanitation. A well-educated professional understands proper procedure and precautions of both. This factor is not something to compromise. Please do not underestimate just how serious these are. 

3. Your makeup artist should understand lighting and how it affects your makeup. An experienced professional will prevent the unfortunate disappointment of makeup that looks harsh at your venue or mismatching your makeup causing a faux pas such as orange looking foundation.

4. A well-trained understanding for what is appropriate in bridal makeup. Yes, it is important to look amazing in your photos but it is equally important to look your best while spending the entire day face-to-face with your family and friends. A highly skilled makeup artist understands how to provide you with a look that will photograph beautifully while still looking fresh and complimentary in person.

5. Last but most definitely not least, a high-end professional has a thoroughly stocked kit for all skin types, skin tones, and ethnicities. It is equally important to have a comprehensive understanding of how to provide the best service using proper shade selections and application.
