From a Cult to the Cover of VOGUE: How to Rise in the Full Spectrum of Life’s Beauty with Celebrity Wholistic Makeup Artist Jenna Anton

Makeup saved Jenna Anton’s life. After spending her first 12 years of life in a cult and subsequent years in the foster system, she eventually found her expression and voice in the cosmetic arts. What began as a passion turned into a wildly successful career, tending to the faces of celebrities and models gracing the catwalks, red carpets, and the world’s top fashion magazines. 

Against all odds, she had made it. Why then did she feel she was “winning but lost?” After more than 20 years in the makeup industry, she decided to pivot from conventional to clean beauty, which not only focused on non-toxic products, but elevating the eternal, unique beauty of those around her. Alongside her professional detour, she would journey inward, exploring Grandmother Ayahuasca and liberating herself – in her 40s no less – from the limiting patterns she held onto since childhood.

We discuss the ins and outs of wholistic beauty, how she injects spirituality and creativity into her work, THAT iconic Vogue cover with Gisele Bundchen, and why turning gray can be an empowering and beautiful act. 

Stay tuned until the end, where we’ll be shining a mirror on the most beautiful goddess in the room – YOU! With blessed “I AM” affirmations to help you connect to your beautiful soul.
