Kayla Jo grew up outside of New York City and discovered her love of makeup at an early age. With dress-up being her favorite activity, she developed a fascination with how makeup could transform the face and mood.

​

Coming from an artistic family, she was encouraged to experiment with color, design and self expression. Later she went to cosmetology school receiving her license, and from there to Toronto to study makeup artistry at CMU College of Makeup Art and Design.

 

She now lives and works in New York City and specializes in moving and still shoots such as commercials, beauty, print, television, corporate, portraits, bridal and special occasions. 

 

Kayla is a cosmetics consultant as well and worked on the product development team formally known as Boom By Cindy Joseph, now called Boom! Beauty for 7 years. She worked on many of their shoots and helped bring numerous cosmetics, skin and hair care products to market. Kayla loves helping companies bring to life innovative ideas in the green beauty space. https://boombeauty.com/​
