Rising Stars: Meet Jessica Tucker of Nashville

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessica Tucker

Hi Jessica, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Hi! My name is Jessica & I am a Nashville Native! I was born in Baltimore, MD but moved here when I was in the 2nd grade. So Nashville basically raised me!

My love for makeup & all things beauty started at a young age. My Mom was my inspiration for this. She always had the latest & greatest makeup. I was always wanting to play in hers & see what new este lauder holiday kit she was going to get.
Then, as I got older, I ended up working at Ulta for 5 years. This opened my love for the beauty industry even more. I learned alot there while working there. How to color match different skin tones, proper skincare routines, good & bad ingredients in makeup, and so much more. I started doing makeup on clients at Ulta when we would have special events & I quickly fell in love.
I started doing makeup on my own, doing freelance work. I honed into my craft & worked at it for years watching YouTube tutorials. I became self taught to where I could start taking clients of my own.
Fast forward, I recently graduated Esthetics school. I wanted to broaden my skill set even more. I can now do facials, waxing, & makeup. Over the years, my skills have improved dramatically. It really is all about dedication & practice! One of my big accomplishments is I have been featured in the Southern Bride magazine featuring my work I did for a wedding. I am now apart of 3 beauty teams here in Nashville, TN. I still do freelance work myself. I am actively looking to start doing facials & waxing in a medspa or salon soon as well!!

If you are in the Nashville,TN area & are looking for a esthetician or makeup artist, I’d love to be your girl!

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Challenges are a given in this industry.
Self doubt & lack of confidence in your work are two major factors. You truly have to believe in yourself & your work. This confidence will shine through & gain the trust in your client!

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I have been a makeup artist for 10 years!
I specialize in full glam makeup. You want your makeup to be flawless in photos & last all day? I got you!
I am apart of 3 amazing beauty teams here in Nashville as well:
Anomalie Beauty Agency, Elite Collective & Black Tie & Blush.
One of my big accomplishments is I have been featured in the Southern Bride magazine featuring my work I did for a wedding. I also have done red carpet makeup for a client for the CMA Awards this past year! My goal is to get more celebrity based clientele! In this industry its pretty cut throat, you have to know people & stand out.
So I am manifesting it to happen for me in the next few years!

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
I never expected to be a makeup artist. I never thought I would be “good enough” to offer my makeup skills as a job to others.
It truly is the most rewarding to create art for each individual client!
