Meet Christian Jacobs | Self Taught Makeup Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Christian Jacobs and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christian, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
No matter what you do, keep pressing forward. Even if there’s a blockage, negativity in your ear, confusion or doubt on your journey, you got this! All of those worries are temporary feelings that you can overcome. Allow that to be a motivation for you. Prove any doubts and distractions wrong. Staying disciplined, being teachable, coachable, remaining open and driven are some of the key factors to a successful career!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Through prayer, lessons, surrounding myself with motivated individuals and people I look up to have all helped me to get where I am today. Nothing you want comes easy. You have to do some type of work to get it! Ways that I have overcome these challenges is simply disconnecting. Sometimes you have to step away from distractions and really reconnect with yourself. Take a day or weekend where you can just enjoy you and things that make you happy, in the healthiest way! What I want people to know about me, my brand and story is that we are all connected. We are all here for a reason and if we all can just share and respect each other’s gifts with one another, without judgment, hurt or harm; there is no limit to what we all can accomplish together! The best is yet to come!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Simple! Brunch, spas, the outdoors, concerts, wineries, amusement parks, road trips, the list can go on and on! I myself am very adventurous and love the thrills out of life! I am always wanting to try something that I have never done before! I get a kick out of seeing my friends doing something they’ve never done before. I love to see them happy! People happy in general! But I do enjoy traveling and sharing new experiences with the exciting people in my life! Fun is wherever my friends, family and I are! Never a dull moment!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I could honestly write a whole book about how much gratitude I have for my family. They have never changed on me and have seen me through all my highs, lows and still encouraged me throughout the process! My heart is over-joyed when it comes to my family. Not everyone has that support and I am blessed and humbled to be able to share this journey with them. I also have to give credit to my partner, my best friend! He consistently prays for me, encourages me, uplifts me and supports me through it all. Seeing our dreams, goals and aspirations happening, together, is something I look forward to each day. I truly love and cherish these special individuals who are dearest to my heart.
