Los Angeles native Jennifer “Jenn” Hanching found an outlet for her creative and artistic 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.
Jenn has put her mark on all facets of the entertainment world. From red carpet events, photo shoots to music videos, commercials and concerts. She collaborates with celebrities, directors, photographers and brands. Her work has been published worldwide: L’UOMO VOGUE, VOGUE China, VOGUE Espana, VOGUE Hombre, ELLE Singapore, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Schön, Fantastics and Flaunt Magazine.
Jenn has the innate ability for working well under pressure on high profile events. She has built and lead makeup & hair crews for live performances. Some of her notable credits are: Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show with Kendrick Lamar, Dept. Head of Body Paint for Kendrick Lamar & Dancers for his 2021 DayNVegas headlining set, Makeup Department Head for Kanye West’s Sunday Service choir, 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 Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and his 2013-2014 North American YEEZUS tour.
Jenn is a member of The Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Guild IATSE Local 706.
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”.
