Jen Cayle Gaum Makeup Artist NYC

Jen is so incredibly talented, friendly, and easy to work with. She teaches her clients to look and feel beautiful while looking like themselves -- not someone else! I have loved working with her and recommend her highly to anyone looking for makeup services or to learn how to do their makeup.

My daughter recently had a skincare and makeup class with Jen and it was the most incredible experience from start to finish. Her communication is outstanding. Prior to scheduling the appointment we had a video meeting so that she could introduce herself, tell me about the variety of classes she offers and to get a better understanding about what my daughter and I were hoping to get from the classes. Once the appointment was scheduled, we continued to communicate over text and email. After the appointment she followed up a few times to see how things were going with my daughters skincare and makeup routine and offered to answer any questions that she may have. My teenaged daughter found the skincare and makeup classes to be extremely beneficial. She was educated about products (what to use and what to stay away from), the importance of having a good skincare routine and how to apply makeup. Jen even made her an instructional video to save and reference when needed in the future. One thing that really stood out to me was that Jen taught my daughter the importance of embracing her natural beauty by using makeup to enhance and highlight her favorite features and to never use makeup as a mask to hide her true self. Words to live by! My daughter left the classes feeling confident, empowered, knowledgeable and looking and feeling absolutely beautiful! Jen is incredibly talented, professional, and knowledgeable. She is also very personable and has an amazing personality to go along with her outstanding work. I highly recommend Jen for all of your makeup and skincare needs. In my opinion, her classes are a must for tweens and teens. I should mention that she has her own makeup and skincare line as well, and once you use it, you will never want to use anything else.

Jen was amazing! After years of struggling on my own to find makeup that worked for me, Im so glad I found Jen. She taught me how to apply makeup the right way, and was able to recommend makeup that looked good without being overdone. Cant recommend her enough !

I gifted my daughter a Tween/Teen skincare and make-up session with Jen for Christmas. It was wonderful! My daughter learned so much about how to care for her skin and Jen helped her come up with a simple cleansing and care routine. Then they tackled the dos and don'ts of applying and wearing make-up, embracing your natural beauty/features, finding the right colors/products for your skin, etc. I learned a great deal as well. My daughter came out of her session feeling great about herself and with some new skills and products. There are so many products out there and Tik-Tok videos promoting products that include ingredients that aren't really intended or appropriate for young girls. Jen really walked my daughter through things, answered her questions and made it fun. I'd definitely recommend doing a session like this with Jen and hope to do it again when my other daughter is old enough.

My 17 year old daughter and myself did a makeup lesson with Jen! It was a lot of fun and we both learned a lot. Jen also did my make up for a photo shoot for my headshot. The make up was fantastic and I felt like myself!
