2019 Student success stories

Jazmuyn West | Bellus Academy

9/9/2019

​I began my journey at Bellus Academy as a working makeup artist looking for a certification and to learn more. My husband had just deployed to Afghanistan and I was determined to occupy my time and make friends while he was gone.

I chose Esthetics simply because skin care went hand- in-hand with makeup. I immediately fell in love with the instructor, Amanda, and wanted to soak up every ounce of knowledge that she had to give plus more.

I had found a passion in not only makeup, but unexpectedly skincare and waxing. I surprised myself at the natural talent I had all along. Once I got onto the spa floor it was very clear to me by the way my books filled that clients felt the same way.
At the time I was enrolled at Bellus, the Design Team had just formed and I was one of the original members. I remember being so excited to get the opportunity to be apart of something so awesome. We got to participate in Kansas City Fashion
Week and made such a lasting impact!

It was definitely a pivotal moment in my career, specifically as our team worked with a designer by the name of Ola Hawatmeh whom I got the pleasure of doing makeup for personally. I have remained in contact with her throughout my career and was even invited to work alongside her for New York Fashion Week as her makeup artist!

I will always have Bellus Academy to thank for that opportunity. Following my graduation at Bellus, my career took off! I went to work for His and Her Salon in Topeka, KS as an esthetician and makeup artist before relocating. I then went to work for Mac Cosmetics in Orlando as a permanent artist for a year before deciding to branch out on my own and begin my own freelancing makeup company servicing brides and special events in the Orlando area. I now am the lead waxer at
Waxing The City in Orlando.
