For more than 25 years, Janae Wesby has cultivated a robust and
beautifully multidimensional career in beauty—one shaped by professional artistry,
advanced skincare, luxury brand partnerships, education, editorial, media and
an enduring fascination with transformation.

Her philosophy is simple:

Skincare First. Makeup Second.

Long before founding Changing Faces Atelier, Janae built a career that allowed
her to experience beauty from nearly every angle—behind the makeup chair,
inside the treatment room, in the classroom, on television sets, at brand events, within
prestige retail, in front of audiences and through the written word.

More Than 25 Years of Beauty Expertise

For 10 years, Janae served as a Speaker and Traveling Professional Makeup Artist for L’Oréal Paris, representing the brand through professional artistry,
appearances and special events. Traveling on behalf of an internationally
recognized beauty house further refined her command of complexion, color,
facial architecture and the transformative power of makeup.

Her career later expanded more
deeply into prestige skincare through
a remarkable 13-year partnership
with La Mer.

As Lead Esthetician for Illinois,
Janae was entrusted to deliver and represent the brand’s exacting standards of skincare, luxury service
and elevated client experience.

Her expertise earned national
distinction when she became
one of only 12 estheticians selected across the country for specialized global training with La Mer.

Her work extended far beyond the treatment room. Janae traveled on behalf of the brand, provided facial experiences for celebrity and prestige clientele, served as a speaker and brand advocate for special events,
and provided education and training support to sales associates within department-store doors.

She was also recognized as a
Featured Artist on La Mer’s website—another reflection of the trust placed in her hands, knowledge and ability to represent luxury beauty at an exceptional level.

Artistry Beyond the Treatment Room

Janae has lent her handiwork to
news, film and television, including six years as a makeup artist for
Windy City LIVE.

Her career has placed her on both
sides of the conversation. In addition
to working behind the scenes, Janae
has been featured across news,
radio and podcast outlets, sharing
her expertise and perspective on beauty, skincare and the experiences that shape the women behind the faces.

Her knowledge has also extended
to the written word. Janae has contributed beauty and skincare commentary for newspaper features and developed written educational content for professional skincare companies.

Whether through her hands, her voice, her writing or the classroom, education has remained one of the defining threads of her career.

As a Licensed Esthetician and Esthetics Instructor, Janae doesn’t simply perform the work—she understands how to explain the why behind it.

Expertise You Can Feel

The significance of Janae’s career isn’t simply found in prestigious names, impressive titles or the number of years she has worked in beauty.

It’s what she learned along the way—and what she brings back to you.

Makeup artistry refined her eye for complexion, color, balance and facial architecture.

Esthetics taught her to understand
the health and function of the skin beneath the makeup.

Luxury beauty taught her that exceptional service lives in the
smallest details.

Teaching sharpened her ability
to translate professional knowledge
into practical understanding.

And decades of working with real
faces taught her something
no textbook ever could:

No two faces—and no two journeys
—should ever be treated
exactly the same.

Janae understands this personally
as well. Despite spending her career immersed in beauty and skincare, she has experienced seasons when her
own skin was not at its healthiest.
Seeing skin from both sides—as the professional and the person looking
into the mirror—deepened her belief that healthy skin is not about perfection.

It is about understanding,
consistency and receiving the right care at the right time.

Today, everything Janae has learned comes together inside
Changing Faces Atelier.

Guests aren’t simply reserving a facial.

They are reserving access to more than 25 years of accumulated knowledge, artistry, education, luxury beauty experience and highly trained hands.

Professional assessment, performance skincare, skilled touch, innovative technology and restorative ritual are thoughtfully curated for the individual in front of her.

The result is an approach that is simultaneously results-driven and indulgent, sophisticated and
deeply personal.

Because luxury, to Janae, has never been about excess.

It is about expertise, intention and being exceptionally cared for.

Beyond beauty, Janae is also a
Speaker and Domestic Violence Advocate, using her voice to speak to resilience, self-worth, transformation and the importance of women reclaiming themselves.

The Next Frequency: MAGENTA

After decades spent learning, creating, educating and representing some of beauty’s most recognized names, Janae’s robust journey has arrived
at its next evolution:

Creating beauty through a world entirely her own.

Introducing MAGENTA.

Positioned as The New Neutral, MAGENTA is more than a lip color. It is the culmination of Janae’s lifelong relationship with beauty, color, confidence, luxury, ritual and transformation.

The inaugural First Frequency Edition pairs MAGENTA lip color with a
pear-shaped lab-grown magenta sapphire and a private QR-linked
MAGENTA Moment
—a guided meditation and
affirmation narrated in Janae’s voice and accompanied by curated music.

Apply your MAGENTA.

Hold your sapphire.
Press play.

It is where beauty meets intention.

Where color becomes ritual.

And where the woman wearing it becomes the occasion.

Esthetician. Artist. Educator.
Speaker. Advocate. Founder.

Every chapter has informed the next.

And after more than 25 years of changing faces, Janae Wesby isn’t simply contributing to the beauty industry.

She’s creating
her own frequency within it.
