| Jemma began as a model -- which is always a plus in our books. But she eventually put pouty posing aside to become a stylist and noted makeup artist, proving that yes, there can be life after modeling. |
 |
| Jemma, supermodel Jodie Kidd's sister, was an accomplished model in her own right before becoming a player behind the scenes, working for makeup giant Max Factor and starting her own exclusive school for makeup artists. |

Jemma Kidd was born in 1974 in West Sussex, England. The daughter of polo star Johnny Kidd, she isn't the only famous family member. Her elder brother, Jack, is also a well-known polo player, and her sister, Jodie, is a renowned model.
Jemma's modeling career began when she signed with Models 1 and was featured in advertising campaigns. In a 1999 Pretty Polly campaign, she bared just about everything. She also modeled for Chanel and Ronit Zilkha. But Jemma found being a model overwhelming, and left the catwalk to her sister. "Jodie is really good at strutting," she says, "but I know I'd just rush on and rush off again and no one would see the clothes, because I'd just be a blur."
Jemma worked as a stylist as well, but it wasn't until she took a course at a London professional makeup school that she found her true calling. An agent from Premier Hair & Make-Up spotted her at work, took note of her developing talent, and began representing her in 2000.
Jemma's first advertising campaign was for Gianfranco Ferre. She landed the lead make-up artist position at the catwalk shows of Jasper Conran, Philip Treacy and Scott Henshall. She also worked with many actors, including Joely Richardson, Colin Firth, and Jane Seymour; models, such as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Erin O'Connor, Liberty Ross, Laura Bailey, and her sister Jodie; and other celebrities, including Jerry Hall, Jade Jagger, and Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York. |
