Jentry Kelley, owner of Jentry Kelley Cosmetics,
has been a professional makeup artist for 13+ years. After working for industry

themselves, just polished, more lifted, and younger than before they came
in." Consistent with ideology, Jentry
developed her brand of cosmetics with the tagline "Makeup with a
FaceLift", teaching women how to look as if they had plastic surgery
without having to go under the knife, and still feel like they look like the
same person when they leave.” Jentry is
also known for her talent in makeup education, and most clients relate that
they have learned more about cosmetics application in one session with Jentry than
they have learned in a lifetime of applying their own makeup. Jentry holds a bachelor’s degree in management
