What’s In My Makeup Bag: Jennie Fresa

Welcome to our new series “Whats in my….” Each week we are excited to feature our favorite fashion forward industry peers and share with you essentials in their closets and homes. Our series starts with one of our favorite beauty guru’s Jennie Fresa, owner of Jennie Fresa Makeup and Skin Care Boutiquiere. Jennie is our go-to for all things that have to do with makeup, beauty and skincare. She writes a very informative blog updated daily with tips, techniques and advice on what you can do to always look your best! Prior to opening up her successful business on East Main Street in Clinton, Connecticut, Jennie lived in New York City and was Trainer + International Makeup Artist for beauty expert Trish McEvoy.

Along with owning a successful boutique that specializes in makeup application and skincare, Jennie and her team also provide makeup lessons to anyone wanting to learn how to wield a magic makeup wand. You can also purchase numerous skincare and makeup lines that Jennie herself endorses, like Stila, Vered Organic Botanicals, Dr Alkaitis and Tsi-La fragrances among many other must-haves. So, what’s in Jennie’s makeup bag, you ask?

  • After searching and searching for the perfect everyday work tote, I finally found one that will meet my needs! I just ordered the Black Lizard Park Avenue bag by Francine Collections! I love the sophistication and versatility of this bag and, of course, the fuchsia lining was a big selling point! I’ll be able to keep my IPAD, paperwork and all of my touch up beauty essentials in one place.
  • My can’t leave home without essential?! Hum, I hate to admit it, but probably my iphone. And, my RoseBud Mocha Rose lip Balm.
  • I can guarantee that you would find both a hand full of bobby pins, a metro card and a lip gloss in the “secret pocket” of every bag I own!
  • I think a perfume can define someones personalty. In true Gemini form, I can not decide on just one. I like to pick my perfume based on my mood. Some of my favorites are Jo Malone – Blackberry Bay, Tsi-La – Misaki and Chanel -Beige.
  • I often describe myself as the quintessential bare bones girl when it come to makeup. I do like to have fun from time to time but my daily look consists of concealer, tinted moisturizer, filling in my brows, mascara and some lip gloss. These days my focus is more on skincare. I have a morning and evening ritual that I am very faithful too. My absolute favorite skincare lines are Vered Organic Botanicals and Dr. Alkaitis.
  • I’m really fascinated by the nail art trend right now. I think it’s such a fun way to show off your personality and style. This week I tried the Moon Manicure with Luxedo by Essie. So fun!

And since Jennie is so truly passionate about reviewing products and recommending to her readers what she thinks is best, be sure to visit her blog as a daily, honest resource. Don’t forget to spend a good amount of time at Jennie’s boutique the next time you are in Clinton– whether it be to schedule a beauty party for you and your girlfriends, a beauty application for a special date night, or to purchase the products that Jennie and her team endorse!
