ABOUT JENNIFER SAVAGE

Jennifer Savage began teaching herself how to apply make up as a teenager, using her friends as subjects. She quickly developed a reputation for quality work, and soon her friends were actively asking her for her assistance and advice. She eventually put her talent to work for a variety of companies, and in 2005 decided to go freelance full time. She is now a recognized expert in her field.

She has lived all over the country, including San Jose, CA and New Orleans, LA. She currently resides in Chicago with her designer/artist husband, their beautiful little girl, and a big dog that thinks he's a cat.
