Artistry Meets Entrepreneurship: The Making of Jenn of Arch with Jenepher Reynolds

Aggie sits down with beauty entrepreneur and makeup artist Jenepher Reynolds, the founder of Jenn of Arch.

From her 12-year-old self erasing eyebrows off Vogue covers to building a brand rooted in artistry and authenticity, Jenepher opens up about her evolution—one shaped by deep self-doubt, career pivots, and powerful mentorship. They talk about the lessons learned from being on set, the nuances of working with lighting and texture, and how a single opportunity changed everything. You’ll walk away inspired to own your voice, trust your instincts, and take bold, imperfect action—even when fear shows up at the door.
