Meet Tremayne West, Jeannie’s personal hair and make-up artist and new #jeannieous beauty editor. During her #tremendous fifteen-year career, Tremayne has worked across local and international TV, film, magazine and brand campaigns but holds her individual clients, like Jeannie, closest to her heart.
“I love understanding the unique needs and preferences of my one-one-one clients, and am passionate about using my art to highlight their individuality so that they feel like the most beautiful version of themselves by the time I am done,” she says.
She has just joined our team as our new beauty editor, so we asked her to reveal the fifteen beauty essentials she cannot live without.
