Introducing JAM Cosmetics
"Life is an adventure... or nothing." - Helen Keller.
I continuously challenge myself to fearlessly look outside the norm to keep creating and enjoying the process of life. I love being inspired to create... through movement, music, color, costumes, characters …and especially, teaching. JAM cosmetics is the ultimate collaboration of my passion and energy put to good use for the future of the dance world. Education is something that we must embrace and focus on in order to move forward, as quickly as we do these days. The combination of the beauty of JAM's specialized formulas and the individuality of the workshops that I've designed are meant to become a new path for dancers and teachers to follow for years to come.
Makeup and dance have been my favorite form of self expression and JAM cosmetics is the best way for me to share this expression with others. With makeup and dance, you can inspire character, emotion, uniqueness, style and authenticity. Enjoy JAM cosmetics and enjoy the transformation from street to stage.

Biography: Jessica Dupont
Jessica Dupont, (formerly, Jessica Michaels - "J.A.M.") moved to NYC in 1989 and worked successfully as a professional dancer for 10 years. While dancing from NY to Tokyo to London, on and off Broadway, she supplemented her income by becoming a professional makeup artist.
As a member of the AvedaNY Bridal and PR teams, she worked for such notables as Vera Wang and Giorgio Armani. Her freelance work includes experience in all mediums: theater, fashion shows, TV, as well as headshot, catalog and fashion photography.
In June of 2000, upon retiring from her performing career, Jessica became owner and director of Atlantic Arts Academy in Jupiter, FL. With this experience, she realized that dancers have never been taught HOW to apply proper and appropriate stage makeup. Stage makeup education has always been passed down by word of mouth from non-makeup artists and it's time for a change. Plus, the products formerly used were not healthy for the skin.
Welcome to the future of dance studio makeup education and the true art of stage makeup.
Jessica created JAM cosmetics to offer an alternative to heavy, out-dated makeup formulas and ineffective street makeup lines.
JAM Cosmetics is designed by a dancer, for dancers. The quality, packaging and entire ideology of the line is simply the best. Fall in love with JAM Cosmetics this year.
