With over 13 years of experience as a professional makeup artist, I’ve had the incredible privilege of transforming my love for beauty into a fulfilling career. What began as a creative passion has grown into a lifelong calling — one that allows me to empower others to feel confident, radiant, and authentically themselves.

I’m a proud Texas girl, second generation Mexican-American, now based in the Dallas area — though I’ll happily travel wherever your special day takes me! Outside of my artistry, I’m a mom to five amazing kids (two boys and three girls) and married to my high school sweetheart. Family is my greatest joy and inspiration, grounding me in everything I do.

My beauty journey truly began in 2012, during the early days of the YouTube beauty community. What started as a fun hobby quickly turned into an obsession. At the time, I was also exploring portrait photography, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that my heart belonged to makeup artistry.

After years in the corporate world, managing teams and working in finance/accounting, I took a leap of faith - leaving stability behind to pursue my dream full time. That leap led to where I am today: running my own business and leading a collective of incredibly talented artists who share the same passion for beauty and empowerment.

Now, we’re proud to introduce our next chapter as The Bridal Edit Co. — formerly known as CrisJenn Makeup and CrisJenn Beauty Pros + Co. We’re a woman- and Latinx-owned business that proudly celebrates all skin tones, all skin types, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Our specialty? Creating unforgettable looks for weddings and special events — but we’re here for every occasion that deserves a little extra glam. We can’t wait to connect with you, hear your story, and help you look and feel like the queen you are!
