As an artist and painter by nature, Los Angeles native Jenn Hanching found an outlet for her creative flair while assisting a friend on a photo shoot. Inspired, she decided to skip the goal of attending art school and focus on a freelance makeup career. Her gamble paid off as she began assisting top makeup and hair artists on set while working as a retail makeup artist. During this period, she worked on developing her own style and techniques enabling her to make the transition from assistant to key artist.
From red carpet events, photo shoots to music videos, commercials and cinema; Jenn has put her mark on all aspects of the entertainment world. She works with celebrities, top directors, photographers and brands. Her work has been published in numerous publications worldwide. L’UOMO VOGUE, VOGUE China, VOGUE Espana, VOGUE Hombre, ELLE Singapore, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Schön, Fantastics and Flaunt Magazine.
Jenn is a member of The Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Guild IATSE Local 706. She has the skill for building and leading large teams of makeup & hair artists. Some of her notable credits are: Makeup Department Head for Kanye West’s Sunday Service choir, the Department Head of Makeup and Hair for 1500 extras for Kanye West’s YEEZY Season 3 fashion show at Madison Square Garden, Department Head of Makeup & Hair for his highly acclaimed 808s and Heartbreak concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and his 2013-2014 North American YEEZUS tour.
In 2019, Jenn switched gears and helmed her first music video as a director for singer Oscar Loya. Her second directing project was filmed in January 2021 for Emma Negrete’s debut music video, Lost In Translation. In March of 2021, Jenn teamed up with Emma Negrete again for their next video collaboration, “MAGMA”.
