Meet Our Founder
Emmy Award Winning Makeup Artist
"I have done over 10,000 faces of makeup throughout my years as a makeup artist, and not just on celebs and models but on REAL people at my makeup studio, The Makeup Loft; so trust me when I say that I know a thing or two about makeup.
I created Cosmakery to fill cosmetic gaps with clean, hard working formulas with fresh balanced shades that work for everyone.”
– Janelle Thomason
The Cosmakery Story
I’m Janelle Thomason, the maker/founder behind Cosmakery and an EMMY® Award-Winning Makeup Artist. I have been working in the makeup industry for almost half of my life. Throughout the years I have worked as an artist at cosmetic counters, on television sets, photoshoots, bridal, to owning my own makeup studio where my artistry team & I do makeup on thousands of women yearly. I’ve done makeup for super moms & supermodels – you name it.
After years in the industry working and training under some of the best makeup artists of our time such as Mario Dedivanovic and Scott Barnes, I decided to follow my dreams and open up my own makeup studio. In 2010 I opened up The Makeup Loft, our studio is located in a chic little town in Michigan called Plymouth.
It was here while working on thousands of brides and bridal parties where I started to hear over and over again "I wish I could look like this every day" or " I wish I could take you home with me." After five years of owning my studio and hearing this repeatedly my response was I have heard you and I have created Cosmakery for YOU!
IT'S THROUGH MY YEARS OF DOING REAL WOMEN'S MAKEUP THAT GIVES ME THE ABILITY TO CREATE COSMETICS THAT NOT ONLY PERFORM BUT ARE UNIVERSALLY FLATTERING AND EASY TO USE.
