Jade said her friends and family had been telling her to apply to Glow Up for "years".
"I never wanted to put myself out there, I didn't think I had what it took," she said.
But when one of the casting team reached out to her, she said she just thought "why not?".
She takes her inspiration from Asian bridal make up, and found some of the show's creative briefs took her out of her comfort zone.
"I'm very much a perfectionist," she said. "I found it very stressful."
But she said the show had also taught her a lot, adding: "Sometimes it doesn't work."
"You might need to adapt it to the model's features, or might just be having an off day or nerves get the better of you," she said.
"But I think that's the whole process and learning curve of being an artist under pressure.
"It's all about being adaptable."
