If the name Jillian Dempsey rings a bell, there's a good chance it's because you've seen her credited for her gorgeous work as a makeup artist on some of your favorite celebrities, most often Kristen Stewart. Or perhaps you've become as obsessed with her cosmetics brand as the Allure team has. (We cannot get enough of those Lid Tints.) But if that's all you know of Jillian, then her eponymous brand's latest product, a hair pomade called Roadie, may seem like it's coming out of left field. But that's not entirely the case.
"I have always been a hairdresser. I can cut hair, I color hair. So it's not like I just decided I was a hair expert," Dempsey tells Allure, explaining that when her career started, pros were expected to be able to do both makeup and hair. "I've always done grooming. My focus is more makeup because I love to paint faces, but hair and makeup fall into a similar category in that they create the overall look. The two go hand-in-hand, and I have a passion for both categories."
In fact, styling hair is how she met her husband, actor and — let's be real here — total heartthrob with an incredible head of hair, Patrick Dempsey. The two have been married for 20 years, and he has spent much of this past one as a willing test subject for Roadie.
