Meet Terry jacobs

Internationally renowned make-up artist Terry Jacobs believes every woman has a special beauty.

"Make-up should merely accent and highlight her features to maximize that natural beauty," says Jacobs, whose clients include movie stars, fashion models and entertainment and sports celebrities.

"I don't have a formula. I see a face as I'm doing it."

 

For the past 20 years, Jacobs has been helping women and men look their best. She serves individual clients from her studio in the heart of Coconut Grove, Florida, and travels to locations throughout the world for film, television and video productions. She was recently awarded "Best Make-Up Artist in South Florida" by Miami Metro magazine. Jacobs is regularly invited to appear at make-up presentations, and has demonstrated her techniques throughout the east coast and Caribbean Islands. In addition, she has created her own product line, "Cosmetics for the Tropics", which is specially formulated for women who live in or travel to the Sunbelt region, and "Tropical Waters," a spray that blends herbs, aloe and mints, and provides a natural way to cool off in hot climates.

Glamour, Allure and other national publications have featured Jacobs, whose client roster includes Miss Universe, as well as actresses Raquel Welch and Kathleen Turner, and television stars Maria Shriver and Deborah Norville. Her male clients range from Al Gore and Jeb Bush to Dan Marino and John Madden. Jacobs launched her career in cosmetics in 1970 as an executive for Revlon. She spent eight years learning the make-up business with Revlon in Connecticut and New York. After a year-long sabbatical in Kona, Hawaii, Jacobs established her own studio in South Florida, and began formulating her special product lines.
