EP #81 A Former Investigator Shares How She Turned Creative Spark Beauty Business

What happens when a background investigator swaps case files for contour palettes and a rolling kit? We sit down with Jeet of Glam by Jeet to trace a bold career pivot that blends precision, creativity, and a deep love for people. From early days jumping into military ball season to shaping a mobile beauty brand across Fredericksburg, Stafford, Loudoun, and the greater DMV, Jeet opens up about building trust, celebrating natural features, and crafting looks that feel like you.

We walk through her full client journey—how discovery calls uncover style goals and pain points, why Pinterest boards are a goldmine for finding what truly resonates, and how she balances comfort with transformation. Jeet explains her signature “shop and learn” service: heading to the store to custom-match skin prep and complexion products, then teaching technique at home with a hands-on, half-face lesson that empowers clients to recreate the look. Along the way, she shares how to keep freckles visible by request, match undertones across the palest to the deepest complexions, and stock a kit that handles everything from soft lashes to stage-ready drama.

The conversation also explores the heart behind the work. Jeet talks about moving during the pandemic, returning to the region, and expanding into permanent makeup for brows. She reflects on losing her sister in 2021 and how that loss led to more openness, more courage, and a carpe diem approach that clients can feel. Whether you’re a bride, a professional stepping into a client-facing role, or someone who just wants a routine that doesn’t feel like a mask, you’ll find practical advice and genuine encouragement.

If you want inclusive, confidence-building beauty that lasts through real life, this is your roadmap.
