Meet Jacquie Q.

 

BROKEN. REBUILT. UNSTOPPABLE.

A lifetime of fitness turned passion into creativity.

I spent 14 years as a personal trainer and running coach, pushing bodies for a living —  mine hardest of all, finding the ultimate feeling.... strength and confidence.

Creating a business needs to come from passion.  I had 2.  Fitness and beauty.

I chose fitness over beauty — training bodies mattered more to me than skincare routines ever did. At 35, I was fitter, stronger, and younger than I'd ever been. But fitness doesn't stop the clock.

Then my body pushed back. Two rigid ankle fusions, surgery after surgery, and limited movement for life. The business I built on my own two feet — was gone, overnight.

Recovery forced me to stop, and at 47, stopping meant paying attention to what was still working for me. My face. My second passion of beauty came into play.

My body was worn from years of pushing it hard, and even with a healthy lifestyle keeping my complexion in decent shape, age had started to peak through. That's when I knew: it was time invest in my skin the way I'd always invested in my body. With this I can become an example, fulfil my business drive of helping others now not through diet and exercise, but through skincare and makeup. I introduce my own creative skincare brand Mrs Q skincare.

I became more aware of products available to changing skin that were for everyday use, easy accessible, premium feel and affordable price. I wanted to demonstrate the importance of investing in yourself. I created my brand with me as an example. 

I wanted to invest — but I was sick of paying premium prices for watered-down products that promised the world and delivered nothing. So I formulated my own. One week later, my skin had changed. Real. Visible. Undeniable. A woman who used to hide behind makeup suddenly didn't want to.

Coaching was never about being skinny — it was about empowerment. Watching a woman find strength she didn't know she had, confidence that changed how she carried herself, that's what kept me coming back every single day.

Now at 53, I can't chase pace times or push my body the way I once did. But that mission never left me — it just found a new form. I still get to lead women toward confidence. Not through miles run or weights lifted, but through skin that feels like their own again, and a beauty routine that says: you're not fading, you're just getting started.

That mission now lives in my makeup tutorials too. Just like I once broke down a workout into steps anyone could follow, I break down makeup into techniques mature skin can actually use — soft glam, skin prep over primer, easy routines that elevate rather than mask.

I'm not here to make you look like someone else. I'm here to lead you back to your own beauty, one simple step at a time, so you feel elevated every single day. Still you, just more put together.

Skincare and makeup are like diet and exercise — the perfect marriage. One without the other only gets you halfway there.

Mrs Q Skincare is all about elevated beauty, whether that means a full soft glam look or bare skin that glows entirely on its own. Get the foundation right, and everything after it just works.

My story is not unique, it's just my story to fuel my passion to teach others to feel amazing within their own skin. 

With love, Jacquie Q xx
