Joanna Klein, founder/CEO JK MakeUp

Early on in her childhood, Joanna had always expressed an appreciation for color, symmetry, and the arts.

Born in Poland, Joanna has left her home country amidst communism in the hopes for better opportunities in Western Europe, specifically Germany. After living in Paris, she followed her parents' advice and enrolled in Law School in Bonn, Germany. 2 years into her studies, she knew right there and then, that it wasn't for her. She quickly found a way to break into the Entertainment industry by working on her first major international feature film "The Little Vampire" starring Jonathan Lipnicki. Joanna instantly fell in love with Make-Up and movie magic.

Soon after, she ventured out to New York City and decided to call it her home. She has learned what makes her a true professional from working on Award-winning Multi-million-budget Motion Pictures and Episodics, such as "Boardwalk Empire", "Life on Mars" as well as "Eat, Pray, Love", "Fair Game (2010)", "The Dictator (2012)" and Columbia Picture's "Premium Rush" (2011) starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Her European roots, strong work ethic and training among the best filmmakers & artists, make her the true professional artist she is today.

She takes on every task with precision, eloquence and beautiful execution. Currently, she resides in Los Angeles, California and enjoys taking work assignments that take her all around the world.
