Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica is the multi-talented and self-assured Kimesha Davis-Grant an all-around lover of life and a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it.

At 32 years old, Davis-Grant, better known to her friends as Frenchy, was met with the life-altering knowledge that she would no longer be able to pursue her first love as a professional dancer.

Rather than inundating herself with thoughts of what once was or what could have been, had injury not forced her to say goodbye to professional dancing, Frenchy opened her mind to the idea that new possibilities awaited her.

Returning to Jamaica in 2018, after spending 11 years living in various locations across Europe, the Mona High alum resolved to focus her efforts on a new passion.

Having had a love for all things makeup as a young girl and with the experience garnered doing her own makeup when she worked as a professional dancer, Davis-Grant enrolled in the D’Marie Institute where she received her certification as a makeup artist and City and Guilds accreditation.

She officially started her business, Frenchy’s Faces, in 2020. It was a name inspired by her nickname, ‘Frenchy’, which was derived from her ability to fluently speak French.

Davis-Grant today works as a freelance makeup artist specialising in makeup for all occasions, including birthdays, photoshoots, weddings, and even Halloween-themed events.

With now almost two years of business under her belt, the makeup artist told Our Today that what separates her business from others of the like is that there is “only one Frenchy”.

“You can only get my services from me, and at the end of the day, I feel like even though the makeup industry is so saturated there is a place for everyone. I offer something to my clients and to the brands I work with that maybe another makeup artist will not,” stated the Frenchy’s Faces owner.

She added: “I feel like every individual is unique and what they offer is uniquely offered by them. I could give you the recipe for the sauce but yours would still come out different from mine.”

Confident in her abilities and her craft, the 34-year-old shared that her journey as a makeup artist has reignited the passion she once had for dancing.

“I love the fact that there are no rules to makeup,” said Frenchy. “Makeup is that place where I can go, I can transform, I can be a princess, I can be a flower, I can be a heart, I can be rich, I can be poor, its just that imagination, the costume of it all.” 

When asked where she would like Frenchy’s Faces to be in the next five years, the entrepreneur responded: “In five years from now I am hoping to grow more.

“Hopefully, by then I’ll be more open to working on set and making my brand an actual makeup brand. I am doing the research on it now because as you know not a lot of people know the science of it.”
