My name is Jennifer Cruz, and I am a Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist. I’m finding that writing this bio is more difficult than one would imagine, so hopefully my work will speak for itself.

Once upon a time I was born in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. My family is from Brazil and I speak Portuguese fluently. I first fell in love with Makeup when I was in high school participating in performing arts. As much as being on stage was fun, my true passion developed backstage in the makeup room. After college and receiving my Estheticians license, I spent 5 years as an artist for MAC Cosmetics before going to work for myself full time.

I developed Jennifer Cruz Beauty Group to be a one stop shop for brides and clients that want to look and feel beautiful! Hand picking artists from all over South Florida, I am confident that my team will make every client feel gorgeous regardless of their budget.

In the last two years, I have branched out into the inspiring and exciting world of fashion, and am currently represented by Creative Management at MC2 in Miami and New York City. You can view my personal portfolio at www.JenniferCruzMakeup.com
