<strong>BLUSH</strong> | BEAUTY<br />

We want people<br />

to be their own<br />

make-up artists and<br />

understand how<br />

to enhance their<br />

uniqueness<br />

and under eye<br />

darkness. We<br />

always use<br />

different models<br />

on tutorials<br />

to show how<br />

anyone can use<br />

our products.<br />

Get the right coverage<br />

for your needs<br />

Tell us about your<br />

gender-free make-up<br />

brand!<br />

I began Jecca Blac by offering<br />

make-up lessons to trans<br />

women, as I was a makeup<br />

artist in film and TV. I soon<br />

noticed that clients from all walks<br />

of life would visit Jecca Blac<br />

studio because they loved how<br />

there was no judgement and it<br />

was a safe space for those who<br />

felt judged constantly. I began<br />

creating products for customers<br />

by partnering with a cosmetic<br />

chemist... Forward a couple of<br />

years and we have introduced<br />

several new products and are<br />

gearing up for international<br />

expansion.<br />

How can make-up make<br />

people feel better about<br />

their self-image and their<br />

life situation?<br />

I believe we make clients feel<br />

comfortable and better about their<br />

life situation by understanding their<br />

needs. Clients say that they feel very<br />

Conceal scars and acne<br />

overlooked by the beauty industry<br />

due to not being reflected in brands’<br />

marketing or product development,<br />

this is why Jecca Blac was born.<br />

The products that we create are<br />

to educate and inspire<br />

people to celebrate their<br />

own beauty – whatever<br />

your reason for choosing<br />

to wear make-up and<br />

whatever your gender.<br />

The reason why all of<br />

our products come with<br />

educational packs is<br />

because we want people<br />

to be their own make-up<br />

artists and understand<br />

how to enhance their<br />

uniqueness. Our first<br />

product was the Correct<br />

& Conceal palette, which<br />

is designed to cover acne,<br />

scarring, beard shadow<br />

What is<br />

the future<br />

of beauty<br />

from your<br />

perspective?<br />

I believe the future of beauty is that<br />

brands will be more authentic with<br />

their mission, ingredients and values.<br />

Customers are demanding for brands<br />

to have amazing products but also to<br />

be conscious about the environment<br />

and to be inclusive.<br />

Surely, this has to be the<br />

future of beauty. Thank you,<br />
