Birmingham Weekly Paper

Jestina Howard is an extremely talented, calm professional. I have had the pleasure of working with her not only with models on fashion shoots, but Birmingham Weekly's annual Women's Issue as well.
She really knows how to bring out the best in each face she does- a true artist!

"I use to dread taking promotional pictures while working on local television. No one could ever get my makeup to look natural.
When the station hired Jestina, my entire look changed. She knew exactly what to do.
With her touch, my makeup was flawless! For the first time my promotional pictures were exceptional. She is the best!"

I love how she can take a canvas and make something amazingly beautiful!
Her expertise, professionalism, creativity, personality, passion and good heart for people is immeasurable- off the chart! I will continue to refer EVERYONE to her!"

"Jestina Howard is a true artist in every sense of the word. She recently applied my wedding day makeup and I was absolutely thrilled with the results.
Her talent and eye for bringing out on's features is truly amazing! Not only were the results beyond my expectations, but just spending the time with her while she applied my makeup was incredibly relaxing. Her extraordinary talent, calm demeanor, and kind spirit helped me feel calm, confident and very pampered before walking down the aisle.
I felt like a princess and a movie star all at the same time!
Jestina's services should be one glamourous "must have"? on every bride's wedding day list."?

"Birmingham Magazine counts on Jestina as a crucial creative source. Whether it's sharing fashion and makeup trends with us or putting that "just right"? face on our models at photo shoots, I always know that she will come prepared with everything we need- including a special sense of style and professionalism.
The bonus is that Jestina is also completely awesome and fun to work with.
When she's working on my team I know even a long day will be enjoyable and that everyone will be beautiful when they get up from her chair."


Kristin Sprangers
Producer

"Every experience I've had with Jestina has been a positive one. She's always willing to go above and beyond makeup, hair and styling. She'll lend a hand during a shoot moving equipment or acting as another pair of eyes when setting up a shot. She'll even be an extra in the video if asked! She's flexible with her time which is a huge asset when shooting schedules or locations change unexpectedly or are planned with short notice. I can always count on Jestina to do a beautiful job on everyone. She brings professionalism and a positive attitude to the set, which makes it fun. Jestina is a true talent and asset to have on any production crew."


Jennifer Price
Voice-Over Talent/Model/Actress

"When I'm booked on a job, the first thing I usually ask is "will there be a make-up artist?"? vain as it may be.... When I find out that the make-up artist is THE Jestina Howard- I KNOW I will not only be looking my best, but feeling extremely confident in my delivery of script... and having that confidence makes my job so much easier! No matter how early a shoot or what I may have been doing the night before (morning puffy eyes DON'T LIE) ... I KNOW Jestina will be able to transform me to an on-camera talent with the most amazing, fresh, clean look... her work, her make-up artistry- is quite simply MAGICAL!"

WAPI 1070 AM Radio Personality

"Jestina and her make up line have changed my life.  I will never leave my house again without mascara on because it makes a girl look awake, which is a generally desirable look for me.  Jestina taught me the secrets of eye liner, what colors to use and where to place it.  I always wondered about that and now I know.  Aware Cosmetics are reasonably priced, stay on my face with minimal touch ups (who am I kidding?  I don’t have time to touch up my make up after 7:15 a.m.!), and are very easy on my sensitive skin.  My absolute favorite make up item is the Line N’ Lacquer lip liner/lip gloss duo. It looks absolutely flawless every time – probably because Jestina taught me how to apply it.  I always feel confident about my make-up and how I look and, frankly, that’s priceless!"
