Before creating Alluring Images, Janet began her career as a makeup artist in print and TV. Soon she became one of the key makeup artists on "As The World Turns". During her years at the show she worked with Meg Ryan, Dana Delaney and Marissa Tomei. At the same time she was accepted into I.A.T.S.E, (local 798 makeup and hairstylists) and began a demanding three-year apprenticeship, which was taught by the film industry's most prominent makeup artists. After completing her apprenticeship and passing a rigorous test she graduated from apprentice to journeyman. The following year she began teaching a course for New York University’s film department as well as The School of Visual Arts. After leaving "As the Word Turns", she began working on films, eventually becoming department head on several films listed on her resume. In the early nineties she wanted to stay closer to home rather than continuing with the demanding hours and traveling required working on motion pictures, which is when she created Alluring Images. While she continued doing makeup for a number of television shows (as she does today) with the creation of Alluring Images she expanded her service to include hairdressing for commercial and private clients, a small line of cosmetics consisting of mostly foundations, concealors and the perfect eyebrow pencils and consulting for individual and corporate clients.
