FROM CLEVELAND SCENE MAGAZINE: Best Makeup Artist (2006) Jason Kelly is Cleveland's answer to Kevyn Aucoin. The MAC-trained artist pairs Renoir's eye for color with a makeup kit bigger than a plumber's toolbox. He can make even the palest, plainest face ready for the runway, which is why he was chosen to head the makeup team at Cleveland's Fashion Week, where he employed glitter and feathers to dazzling effect. You've probably seen his work: He serves as head makeup stylist for the Cleveland Cavalier Girls.
