Jo Jo Cartagena 'Becoming an independent Make-up Artist 101'

This week Michelle speaks with Jo Jo Cartagena about her make-up artistry service Jo XO Artistry. Most of Jo's practical training began at the well-known make-up brand Mac, where she gained hands-on experience with a variety of clients. This experience helped shape Jo into the well-rounded and talented make-up artist she is today. Jo XO Artistry offers a variety of services from Bridal Make-up, Photoshoot/Videoshoot Make-up, Lashes, and more. Jo has established some excellent clients on her books including Lauren Murray the X-Factor finalist and Mz Jazzie, Nigeria's Afro-Rap Queen. In this episode Jo shares her journey into the world of make-up artistry with us, giving tips and advice for anyone thinking about starting a career in the field. We chat about Jo's 'friendly make-up artist next door' ethos and why being open, caring and a great listener helps to maintain her growing client base. Lastly, we have a heartfelt conversation about her doggo companion Ollie and how he has been the perfect little therapy pet.
