We had the good fortune of connecting with Jay King and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jay, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process when I started my own business was to create something that was mines and to have the opportunity to fulfill the needs of women around the world. Regardless of their skin tones. I wanted to come up with products, merchandise and styles that made us all look and feel beautiful. I wanted to decrease the hiccups that women deal with, when trying to find the right colors to match their skin tones, the right style to match their body type and to give them the confidence to shine bright in their own skin.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
In 2010 I became interested in makeup which led to me becoming a makeup artist and working alongside many photographers, on set & off, as well as photoshoots. This opened my eyes to create a brand of my own, for women of all different skin tones to help with finding colors that flatter their skin, as well as colors that matches their tones. This cause me to create Mr. Jay’s Cosmetic. Not too long after that I wanted to do more and knowing where the needs were, I started there. I expanded into Jay’s Boutique and created an online boutique. Where you can get all your needs, at one stop, in one shop. From wigs to clothes, from shoes to bags & so much more. So, when you get a chance check it out and see what MrJayscosmetic.com has to offer.

First and foremost I have to give thanks to God. For giving me the dream and the ability to chase my dreams and then I have to give thanks to my parents for being there when I needed them and on top of it all I have to give thanks to my children, for allowing me to pursue my happiness as well as being their mom and never having to choose between the two. For them supporting me and rocking with me through this process. For their love and their encouragement to keep going. Thank you guys.
