    Shameika to the rescue!

    Shameika is professional, easy to talk to and punctual. My makeup plan did not go as envisioned due to scheduling mishaps however I am so GRATEFUL I was referred to Shameika. Her work was beautiful, lasted throughout my wedding and she worked with my tight time frame. Brides you will be very appreciative to have a makeup artist like her.

    Shameika is such a light! She was the make-up artist for my mother and me on my wedding day. My mother, who doesn't wear a lot of make-up, was thrilled with her "beat". She still raves about her "friend, Meika". Besides being an fantastic artist, Shameika is an amazing person, without me having to say a word, she could pick-up that I didn't want to "chat" during my application, I just wanted to be one with my thoughts and she definitely let me have that moment. Awesome gift, awesome woman, awesome friend! I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

    Shameika Bowman was wonderful! On the morning of my wedding, my original makeup artist couldn't make it at the last minute and Shameika stepped right in. I was a nervous wreck because I had not done a trial with her prior to the day of my wedding. I sent her a picture and she automatically knew exactly what I wanted. She was amazing. I was more beautiful than I had imagined. She was professional, punctual, friendly and caring. It was like hanging with one of my girls. She also did makeup for my mother and a few bridesmaids. I can't say enough wonderful things about her skill and grace that day. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her be a part of future events.

    Shameika did an amazing job. My wedding party had different ethnicities and different ideas of how much make-up was wanted. Shameika personalized each bridesmaid according to their wishes. She also let me keep my lipstick for touches throughout the night. Most importantly, I cried tiers of joy all down the aisle. Her airbrush application held up wonderfully. I did not look a mess afterwards and I have the pictures to prove it.

    Shameika did my makeup for my wedding a few weeks ago. I heard about her through a friend and she did a consultation with me a few months before the wedding.

    I was super happy on the day of the wedding and I am even more thrilled now that I've gotten my photos back. Shameika did a PHENOMENAL job with my makeup and my mom's makeup on the big day. She captured the look I was going for - glamorous and dramatic - but I still felt and looked like me. Because I was so busy dancing and talking to my guests, I totally forgot to touch up my makeup at any point during the night, but the makeup still looked in tact even in the photos taken 6 hours later.

    Besides her talent and skill as a makeup artist, Shameika brings with her great, positive energy. She made me laugh, kept people at ease, and was super flexible with all of the little hiccups that weddings can bring. I would HIGHLY recommend her for weddings or any other event when you feel like looking fabulous.

    I secured Shameika's services via a recommendation from my hairstylist. To say I was pleased with her service is quite an understatement. Both for the consultation and during the wedding I found her to be prompt, professional, engaging and most importantly, talented! During the consultation, I made her aware that I was a bit of a foundation novice she suggested a slight change in my foundation # that ended up matching my skin tone so much better. On the day of the wedding, the wedding party makeup was flawless. Mine, was subtle but still managed to highlight my best features. In addition to arriving promptly for our 5;00am call, Shameika stayed for the wedding and touched me up throughout. It was entirely unexpected to have her extend her services to ensure that my pictures would remain beautiful during the reception was something that I greatly appreciated.
    It is with great pleasure that I would highly recommend Shameika Bowman as your make-up artist.

    Shameika did my makeup for my cousins wedding and she did an awesome job. She took the time to ask what I wanted to look like and since I don't really like too much makeup, that meant a lot to me. She took one look at my skin and knew exactly what color foundation worked with my skin tone. When she was done I still looked like myself but a prettier me. The before and after picture was amazing. I got so many complements. Thanks Shameika for making me look like a rock star on such an important day.

    I can't even begin to say enough nice things about Ms. Bowman's makeup artistry and professionalism. I met with her for a makeup trial a few months before the wedding to try a few looks. On the day of the wedding, she arrived on time, and was very flexible in regards to my schedule that day. She did makeup for 3 of my bridesmaids, my mother, and me with lots of time to spare. When the original look we decided on for my wedding makeup needed a little jazzing up, we both decided that my lip needed more "pop". Once that was added, my makeup was picture perfect, and I've never felt so pretty as I did that day! She also provided me with the lip color she used so that I could reapply throughout the night. Everyone commented on how flawless our makeup was and everyone looked so fabulous!! Thank you so much Shameika! I'd recommend her to anyone. Also, her prices are very reasonable.

    Shameika was absolutely amazing! My makeup artist had to unexpectedly go out of town and suggested Shameika as a replacement. I was very hesitant because I did not have time to do a makeup trial with my busy work schedule and planning of the wedding. I was also worried because I regularly do not wear makeup. Shameika knew the right questions to ask and provided a flawless face that lasted throughout the entirety of my wedding on a hot and humid day. She was one of the best decisions I made that day and worth every penny! Not only was she sweet and funny but she provided she agreed to do my wedding fairly last minute on the day of her birthday celebration. I highly recommend her for your next event.

    I was so happy to have such a great makeup artist. She was patient and created a look that was natural and sophisticated. I looked flawless in my pictures. Professionalism was also a big plus and it made working with her so easy!

    The best makeup artist I could have chosen on my wedding day to do me, all my girls, flowers girls, and my mother's makeup was Shameika. She is very reliable, punctual, and her work is fantastic. I was recommended by my mothers co-worker and now I will recommend her to anyone who needs their makeup done. I couldn't be more pleased with her service.

    My experience was both pleasurable and professional. I will remember it for years to come. My make was flawless as evident by my wedding photos.

    Shameika Bowman was wonderful to work with, she brought such calm on a rather hectic day. Her makeup application was flawless in person and on camera. She was on time, professional, and was able to match all of the complexions of my bridesmaids. I recommend her to all brides I know!! I wish I could do the day over just to experience it all over again.

    My MOA Shameika was wonderful.....She listened to what I wanted and used my face as her canvas to achieve the look. She is highly professional and well mannered. When she had me sit down it the chair I felt comfortable and did not have to second guess what the final look would be. I will definitely use her services in the future, and recommend her services to anyone.

    OMG- where do I began?- Shameika was great! Not only is she a great make-up artist, but just a great person to be around- very fun & bubbly! She helped me pull off a "surprise" make - up trial for my MOH (who never ever wears make-up, so a surprise was the only way I was going to get her to do a trial)- my MOH was very very hesitate but Shameika made her feel @ ease and did a fantastic job on both of us. (I was actually even a little jealous- I think she made my MOH look better than me!-LOL- but def well worth it to convince my MOH) She definitely changed the views of my MOH about make- up and can not wait to get her face done again.
    Now for the actual wedding day- again Shameika was a pleasure to work with. She showed up at the hotel on time and ready to work her magic on all of my girls. She stayed on scheduled and made everyone look FAN-TAB-U-LOUS!!!!! With a total of 10 faces to be done- she slayed us all with her magic brushes!
