Avelyn Aesthetics: Trystann McAteer Named Best Aesthetician & Best Makeup Artist

“It’s more than just a job, and it’s more than just a business. This is my life, and my clients can tell. They have somebody that cares about them—somebody they can talk to. They know that they’re in good hands,” Trystann McAteer states.

Trystann began her career with By Jessica & Co. in January. On August 5, she was excited to open her own studio inside the same location: Avelyn Aesthetics, named after her four-year-old daughter Huxley Avelyn whom Trystann feels is her most beautiful creation.

“It’s exciting. It’s what I always dreamed of. I always enjoyed makeup; it was my biggest fashion interest growing up,” Trystann says.

In fact, Trystann is living her dream. She learned a lot about applying makeup from one of her biggest inspirations—her mom Melissa, who personally made Trystann’s face up when she was young until Trystann began practicing on herself. Trystann remembers becoming familiar with major makeup brands, such as Mary Kay and Avon, as a very young girl because her mom was a loyal subscriber who loved nearly everything about makeup.

As a competitive dancer and cheerleader, Trystann later began doing the full faces of the other performers on her teams; over time, she furthered her skill set by doing pageant makeup for contestants.

Skill Set & Services

Trystann is skillful in overall makeup artistry. She received her tattoo license in order to offer permanent makeup to her clients. She does permanent makeup for brows and lips. She is also skilled in scalp micropigmentation and faux freckles.

The masterful aesthetician is certified in body contouring as well. Also known as body sculpting, its purpose is to help eliminate fat while helping to shape certain areas of the body; body contouring may also aid in tightening of some loose skin.

“I put my heart into every service I do,” Trystann says.

Clients Make the Difference

 Trystann understands that self-image and self-worth are essential to overall health and happiness. Most of her clients are women; it is important to her that she creates a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere for them—one that nurtures their natural soft side and femininity.

“I believe self-worth is the most important thing for a woman. How we carry ourselves and what we allow for ourselves determine the way people will treat us,” she states.

Trystann strives to make a meaningful difference in her clients’ lives. She hopes to make their days a little brighter and their lives a little easier.

“I want my clients to feel beautiful, confident and happy in their own skin. My clients are like family to me. I don’t want them to have to spend a lot of time putting themselves together. With permanent makeup or even eyelash extensions, they can just wake up, wash their face and put moisturizer on; they don’t have to do a lot. They can wake up feeling good,” she says.
