Beauty – Toronto
It’s no surprise that Jenelle Forde has taken the makeup world by storm; she’s never been one to fade into the background. Jenelle began experimenting with colours and creating beautiful works of art at a very young age, so makeup artistry was a natural transition.
In 1994 she studied at Joe Blasco Hollywood Makeup School in Los Angeles, California where she completed the full master class in beauty and special effects. She has also taken workshops at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles as well as with the world-renowned The Powder Group, which she is a part of their regional talent pool.
Jenelle took first place at the 2012 Toronto Allied Beauty Association Show for Fantasy/Runway Makeup. In addition, she has worked for Smashbox Cosmetics as their lead makeup artist in Edmonton, Alberta, and its surrounding areas. She has also worked for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and Makeup For Ever, just to name a few. She currently freelances for the following companies, L’Oreal Canada, Lancôme, YSL, Armani and Shu Uemura. Whether she’s on the set of a music video or in the privacy of a photographer’s studio, Jenelle’s work is as versatile as it is unique.
Jenelle approaches cosmetics as she approaches art - the entire body is a canvas and makeup is just one element of the entire image.
