About Jess
My name is Jessica Nagy, also known as Make It Jess (@makeitjess) on social media.
I am a special effects makeup artist that likes to add a bit of glamour to my crazy looks. I specialize in transforming myself into characters, animals, creatures, or cosplays.
My favourite makeup looks are the ones that involve me painting my entire upper body! I get to be more creative :)
Before makeup took a hold of my life, I used to be a full-time grade 7 & 8 teacher. But I realized a career in education wasn't the life that I wanted, so I decided to leave it to pursue a life of creativity that makeup offered.
Now that I am no longer in the classroom, you can find my creative makeup looks and cosplays on TikTok, Instagram, & YouTube @makeitjess.
But as it turns out, you can’t take the teacher out of me! I missed being a teacher, but just not in a school classroom.
So I created Make It Jess Masterclass to share the makeup knowledge that I have learned over the years, as well as new trendy hacks I've picked up.
I traded in teaching math lessons for makeup lessons.
