Hi! My name is Jenifer Cox, a multi-passionate creative artist based in Dublin and the founder of The Cox Studio, a brand that brings together my background in beauty, design, and artistry through luxury reusable gel nails and professional makeup services.
I’ve always been drawn to creativity — makeup, nails, photography, design, drawing, and everything “crafty.” What began as a passion for art and aesthetics evolved into a career built around transforming small details into powerful statements.
Education & Professional Background
After studying Graphic Design in Madrid, Spain, I moved to Ireland to improve my English and begin my professional training. I first developed my skills through advanced training with Dublin Bodypaint and Make Up For Ever Academy, where I received a Distinction Diploma.
In 2019, I completed my four years of study with a Degree in Fashion, Theatre, Media Makeup and Aesthetics at Portobello Institute in Dublin. This was a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary program where I mastered Hair Design, Nail Artistry, Fashion Styling, and Beauty Therapy. This extensive background ensures I bring a complete, technical perspective to every creative project.
Wig Making & Postiche
A cornerstone of my professional identity is my work as a Wig Master. Specialized in wig making, I design and handmade wigs, facial hair, and hairpieces specifically for the demanding environments of TV and Theatre. This craft requires historical accuracy and technical precision, ensuring every piece is a seamless extension of the character.
Global Portfolio
Through education and client work, I gained extensive experience across makeup, body paint, SFX, wig making, and nail art. Since graduating, I’ve worked as a freelance artist for high-profile clients and creative productions. My work has been featured and published internationally in Prime Magazine (USA), KODD Magazine (France), Horizont Magazine (USA), and Fashion Grunge (USA). My artistry has also been showcased across major platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Cannes Film Festival, Dublin International Film Festival, San Francisco IndieFest, Galway Film Fleadh, and Phoenix Film Festival. These are only a few highlights from an extensive list of projects and collaborations developed throughout my career.
The Cox Studio
Over time, my love for nails grew into one of my main forms of artistic expression. With The Cox Studio Nails, I’ve built a space where artistry meets innovation — offering custom luxury reusable gel nails designed for multiple wears, full customization, and lasting quality. Each set is handmade, hand-painted, and created to reflect individuality and style.
The Cox Studio also provides professional makeup services for creative projects, campaigns, and special events, continuing the same dedication to artistry, technique, and vision that has guided my work from the beginning.
Thank you for visiting my site and supporting independent artistry.
