Top Chicago Makeup Artist Expands to the Web with Veevecosmetics.com

Many makeup artists dream of running a small, hip shop that gets good business and has some loyal customers, but few have the talent and drive to make it happen. Over the past decade, Jennifer Stoller has done this and more, first creating her own mineral makeup line and then expanding her business into multiple realms. And as if that were not enough, Stoller has also found time to run a separate business as a wedding makeup stylist, and she is now expanding her sales into the online realm.

 

Due to her strong work ethic and talent for choosing and applying makeup, Stoller has become one of the most respected makeup artists in Chicagoland. With her passion, talent, and outgoing nature, she is made big waves in the local beauty and fashion scene, particularly through Veeve Cosmetics, her innovative boutique makeup company, and Magnificent Brides, an on-site wedding service she offers along with hairstylist Tina Sclafani.

 

Stollers rise through the Chicago style world began at Illinois State University, where she earned a Bachelors of Science in Apparel, Merchandise and Design. Soon thereafter, she served for three years as manager of the makeup department at Mario Tricoci, the high-end coiffure salon.

 

Although Stoller cites her work with Mario Tricoci as a valuable formative experience, she knew she had the talent and ideas to start her own makeup business, so she created Veeve Cosmetics in 2006. Stollers salon offers a full range of mineral makeup and makeup-related products, including everything from foundation to lipstick to eyeliner, plus plenty of accessories. She started out with a salon space in Buffalo Grove, but after having her son Cameron in 2008, she set up a fabulous and welcoming studio at her home in Vernon Hills, which is where she works now.

 

Never satisfied with merely selling lots of products, Jennifer has also expanded her offerings to include on-site services such as makeup application lessons, makeup soirees, and bag rehab consultations, plus customized classes based on her clients needs.

 

Meanwhile, Stoller and Sclafani continue to do great business with Magnificent Brides, serving 20 weddings over the past year and with six already booked for the coming season. Their work has included a Premiere Jewelry photo shoot featuring Giuliana Rancic (host of E! News) and Bill Rancic (winner of The Apprentice, Season 1), the wedding of American Idol contestant Jim Verraros and partner Bill Brennan, and a Mira Couture Bridal photo shoot that has been featured in numerous bridal magazines.
