About Us

"Jeris, you are amazing! Professional, affordable, prompt, very personable with outstanding results. She made the wedding party, mothers and especially the bride look radiant and the compliments did not stop! Thank you for doing such an outstanding job and making our day even more special!" 

-Sherry, Bombshell Mother of the Bride

Jeris Farmer is CEO and founder of Bombshell Creations and the proud mother of her son Buck and new Bombshell baby Ireland, born in May 2019. She has over 15 years of customer service experience and will do everything in her power to make sure that all of her clients leave with a smile. Nothing makes her day more than seeing the look on a client’s face when they see themselves in the mirror for the first time after their “Bombshell” makeover.
A small town country girl born and raised in Athens Georgia, Jeris started working for her parents at the ripe age of eight. She could barely see over the countertop to speak with customers so her dad stood her up on a milk carton to collect money at one of their restaurants. Jeris worked in the family business her whole life helping in the restaurants collecting money, preparing food, building tables, landscaping, problem solving, and managing numerous employes. She learned the value of a dollar at a very young age and has always worked for the things she wanted. Jeris has always been a firm believer in the saying, “Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you.” This is the mission statement that she bases her life and business around.
While working for the family business, she always had jobs on the side as an independent makeup artist, print model and promotional model. In college she was a biology major with the high hopes of being a dentist and graduated with a degree in Applied Science and Arts from Gainesville State. Jeris got more into the beauty field after college and started Bombshell Creations in 2009.
Her idea with Bombshell Creations was to make ladies beautiful in the setting of their choice. She started out by doing makeup in sorority homes on campus as well as for nightlife entertainers. Quickly, the word began to spread and before she knew it clients started calling her to do their weddings, and their friend’s and family’s weddings. The number of weddings have doubled each year and the business continues to grow from highly recommended referrals.
In addition to weddings, Bombshell Creations has added different styles of makeup services including theatrical, zombie, vampire, character, prosthetics, bald caps and tattoo coverage. Jeris has had the opportunity to work with many brides, models, actresses, actors, producers, pageant goers, dancers, sororities, magazines, photographers, fitness competitors, singers and last but not least charity events. Helping other people has always been her passion and she takes any opportunity she can to donate her time and skills when they can help bring a smile to someone that is in need.

"Bombshell Creations is hands down the best in the business! They are so accommodating, professional and so easy to work with! Courtney made me and my entire bridal party look absolutely flawless!"

Hi! My name is Hayden Powers! I have been with Bombshell Creations since 2017. For as long as I can remember I have always loved doing hair and makeup. I loved it so much that I decided to go to college my junior year of high school and ended up graduating my senior year as a Master Cosmetologist from Athens Technical College. Away from doing what I love, I am spending time with my new precious little boy who is my whole world. When I have extra free time I enjoy shopping, spending time with my family, and being at the lake. 

"I had such a great experience using Bombshell Creations for my hair and make up for my wedding! Lucy did our hair and Rebecca did our make up, both of which looked amazing! The entire process of working with Bombshell Creations was made so easy and they were always available to communicate with any questions or details.

I recommend them to any bride out there. Thank you both so much!!"

"Bombshell did a great job! I had Amber for makeup... I got so many compliments on both, and my bridesmaids loved their looks too!" 

-Eileen, Bombshell Bride

Amber Longo is a makeup artist for Bombshell Creations. Her passion for makeup started at a very early age by constantly watching her master cosmetologist mom get ready in the mornings. She knew early on that the beauty field was exactly what she wanted to be in!   

A favorite hobby of Ambers growing up was putting makeup on her older brother while he was asleep. Never having a sister meant she had to make do. Although her brother may not admit it now, he sure did look pretty in blush and lipgloss!   

Originally from Florida, Amber moved to Oconee as a freshman in high school. After graduating, she went on to work as an assistant at her mother’s salon for a few years in Watkinsville, and eventually training under Jeris Farmer for makeup.

When she isn’t turning brides into bombshells, she’s spending time with her beautiful family: her husband Jeremy, and their two children, Brayden and Aubree. Family will always be a first in her heart, with makeup as a close second!   She’s looking forward to a long and fulfilled career in makeup, and making people feel absolutely beautiful on their special day!

-Brooke, Bombshell Bride

Hi i’m Bria, and I am from Hull, GA. I grew up with three brothers, so YouTube was my best friend for makeup tutorials and skincare! My passion for beauty stemmed from there since I was the only girl, and unfortunately, one of my biggest hobbies became a career. I strive to make people feel more confident and love themselves in their own skin. After I graduated high school, I knew immediately the Esthetician program at Athens Technical College was the best fit for me. Not only did I have a passion for makeup and glam; I also cherish to improve the skin for a more flawless makeup application and look. To enhance my beauty expertise, I expanded my skills with obtaining an Eyelash Extension Certificate. Between devoting my time to makeup, beauty and skincare, I love playing with my two dogs (Basil and Rugar).
