Professional make-up artist, Jennifer McCollom got her start in Theatre through both high school and college. She graduated from UNCG with a BA in Theatre and a minor in Physics. Her first professional film was Taking Liberty filmed in Winston-Salem, NC. Then it was on to local favorites Dead Inn and Last Lives.  Jennifer followed up her local work with a trip to LA to study at the Westmore Make-up Academy. 

Her work on the smaller NC projects allowed Jennifer to move on to bigger films. She has been a make-up artist on Army Wives, Leatherheads, Talladega Nights, The Box, the Oscar nominated June Bug, the Emmy Award-winning HBO miniseries John Adams, and most recently The Hunger Games, Homeland for Showtime, Spike TV’s Bar Rescue and CBS's drama Reckless.


While film work was quiet in NC, she attended RCC Cosmetology School and attained her cosmetology licence to add to her skills. Having also spent 15 years working for make-up companies such as Clarins and Darphin, she brings experience doing facials to her salon work as well.

Jennifer perhaps is best known in local NC fandom for her incredible special effects pieces and costumes.  She has created pieces and costumes for fandoms including Dr. Who, Star Trek and Steampunk.
