Jacques-Lee Pelletier's career as a professional make-up artist spans over 25 years. His living sculptures at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, in 1982, gained him international recognition. In 1985, Germany's Mode Trendmagazine referred to Pelletier as an avant-garde philosopher and poet of matter and beauty. He was part of the launching team for the first couture cosmetic line in the world (Yves St-Laurent, Paris) and created the looks for the window models of the Christian Dior Boutique for the opening of Châtelet Les Halles.

He has worked with the biggest names in theatre, contemporary dance and opera, photography and television, and has brought his magic touch to hundreds of photo shoots and award winning print and television ad campaigns for a diverse list of clients ranging from L'Oréal, Lise Watier, Clinique, Cover Girl, Clairol and other cosmetic giants to Toyota, Air Canada, Bell, Pepsi, The Canadian Fur Trade Association and the Dairy Bureau of Ontario.
