Southern California native, Elessa Jade, began her love for art at a young age, translating her painting and sculpting skills into makeup. Makeup application has always been in her blood, at 2 years old she picked up her first hot pink lipstick and didn't look back.

Elessa has almost 10 years of beauty experience working with models, enhancing beautiful brides, actors on screen and off screen, private and group training, sessions at the International Makeup Artist Summit, The Makeup Show (TMS),Estee Lauder and Crown educator. Elessa is currently traveling the world to educate makeup artists on efficient bridal application and airbrush techniques through Out Of The Beauty Box http://outofthebeautybox.com.

After experiencing the high demand for personal one and one coaching in 2006, Elessa started up a website and educational videos geared towards teaching individuals how to apply makeup on their own; to be their own makeup artist. With very little videos and information on self application she felt that it was time to share her tips and tricks with the online world. Pursebuzz has now topped 100 million video views from around the world. Elessa is best known as the face behind sucessful the beauty channel http://www.youtube.com/pursebuzz.
