Jackie Carpenito
Owner + Makeup Artist
Jackie has been in the industry since 2013. A graduate of both BU’s College of Communications and Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics, Jackie brings unique experience to Axle as both owner and artist.
Prior to Axle, Jackie worked in business development and customer relations management, in addition to serving as the Assistant to the Director of the Boston Film Festival. As early as grade school, Jackie would watch her mother apply makeup, then replicate the look not only on herself, but also on her sister and friends – later styling their hair and wardrobe and taking “modeling” photos to capture the full look.
Today, Jackie offers both in-salon and on-location makeup services for weddings, engagement sessions, rehearsal dinners, proms, advertising campaigns, fashion, editorial, TV/film, corporate and special events. When asked “Why Axle?” Jackie said, “As an artist under the Axle umbrella, I pride myself on providing my clients with a completely personalized, professional, ‘celebrity’ makeup experience, with longwearing, camera-ready makeup that also looks and feels amazing in person. Whether the client prefers a natural look or something more glam, I love to bring their vision to life, highlighting the beauty within everyone, and leaving each client feeling like they can conquer the world.”
