Charissa Zoé Makeup Artistry
Bio
Charissa Clemetson known as Charissa Zoé is a professional makeup artist and beauty educator from Kingston, Jamaica.
With a passion for makeup artistry and all things beauty, Charissa has been involved in the beauty industry since 2009, and was certified by the Face Place Institute of Aesthetics in 2011.
Going by her first and middle name, which together mean gift of life, her mission is to offer her clients more than a beauty appointment, but a refreshing and fulfilling experience, where their confidence is at the forefront. Her artistry is fuelled by the ethos of her brand and two main core beliefs: that every woman is already beautiful, and that the way you apply makeup changes when you start from that belief.
Charissa’s style of ‘Naturally Beautiful Makeup’ is an approach cultivated throughout her career, focusing on an effortless finish that enhances and embraces each person’s beauty. Her work is weightless and skin-like, with soft sculpting that accentuates the natural features without overpowering them.
Charissa's work has been published internationally in People Magazine, Today's Bride and Munaluchi Magazine along with magazines in France, Dubai and Italy. Charissa's artistry has also been seen on the runways of New York Fashion Week (SS 2025, 2026) for multiple designers. She was also the Key Makeup Artist for the debut collection of the Caribbean Fashion Collective (SS 2026).
Charissa has worked with major beauty brands, such as L'Oréal and Black Opal, has had numerous media features in her hometown of Kingston, Jamaica, and has done makeup for local and international celebrities and public personalities.
She is proud to be the personal local makeup artist for Emmy award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, and an artist of choice for entertainers, leading corporate executives and even the Chief of Defence Staff of the military, the Jamaica Defence Force. Regardless of the stature of her clientele, her artistry is for every woman looking to enhance their natural beauty.
In addition to makeup artistry, Charissa boasts 15 years of experience in digital marketing, having bolstered the social media presence and digital marketing efforts of public and private sector entities in Jamaica. As a content creator, she applies her expertise and love of marketing to her passion for makeup artistry. Her behind-the-scenes vlogs and Tip Thursday educational videos are popular on her Instagram page.
