I am so happy

Shannon was the absolute best! We did my trial about a month before my wedding, and since I’m not normally a makeup girly, I really didn’t know what I want. Shannon did exactly what I showed her in pictures for the trial, but I ended up deciding I needed a way more natural look. I told her all the tweaks I wanted to make, and on the morning of my wedding, she made me look absolutely PERFECT! It was literally the best and most confident I have ever felt. It was the perfect “still me but elevated” look. She also SLAYED 3 of my bridesmaids looks, they were so thrilled. All of our makeup lasted ALL NIGHT LONG, even the lashes!! Shannon was early, ran ahead of schedule, extremely responsive to any texts or emails, and she is so talented. BOOK WITH HER, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!

Shannon was incredible!

I got married in June of 2022 and Shannon did the makeup for myself, my mom, and my bridesmaids. She made all of us look absolutely stunning! Shannon is so personable and chatted with us throughout the entire morning. I also did my trial makeup the night of my bachelorette party and the makeup lasted all night on both occasions! I would definitely recommend Shannon for anyone looking to get makeup done for themselves or their bridesmaids the day of their wedding.

I heard about Shannon from my hairstylist. I have naturally curly hair so I’m super scared of who works on me so when my hairstylist said I wouldn’t be let down she was right! Shannon was amazing to work with and you can tell she loves her job. She made me feel and look like a princess and my bridesmaid looked gorgeous!! I would highly recommend her! She is amazing

Shannon was absolutely amazing! She listened to every single detail (yes I was a crazy detailed bride) I wanted for my Wedding make up! Everything was perfect, during the trial Shannon wrote down every thing we discuss as far as what I wanted or absolutely did not want! Extremely easy to contact, via email or text -- any last minute questions I had she was available the entire time! My wedding make up was perfect thanks to Shannon!!!!!! Brides contact Shannon!!!!!!!!!!

Shannon was amazing from start to finish, just as amazing as my makeup looked!!!!! Not only is Shannon, kinda friendly and flexible she is talented beyond words. Somehow she amazingly made me look natural, glamours and beautiful and everything lasted all day and night!!! Shannon, made all the ladies (bridesmaids) in my wedding party look gorgeous as well as my mother and mother in law. And my MIL is not a makeup person, and she loved what Shannon did!!! Especially when she saw how amazing yet natural she looked in the processional wedding pictures! It was absolutely a fabulous and fun time had by all getting ready that morning!!!

Shannon is AMAZING and I HIGHLY recommend her! She is professional, detail-oriented, talented, kind, and hilarious. Furthermore, she was flexible, organized, courteous, and timely- all of which helped ease my nerves the day of my wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Shannon!

Most impressively, Shannon went above and beyond on my wedding day and seriously saved the day. After a terrible experience at a hair salon the morning of my wedding, my bridesmaids and I turned to Shannon and she made everything immediately better. We were all very thrown off by our bad salon experience that morning and Shannon turned on one of her playlists on her phone to lighten the mood. The gesture was small, but had a huge positive impact on my wedding day! Furthermore, Shannon went above and beyond by not only doing a fantastic job with our makeup, but she fixed many of my bridesmaids updos! She is truly a talented makeup artist and hairstylist. Honestly, I don't know what I would have done without Shannon and I cannot thank her enough for everything. If I could, I would give Shannon more than 5 stars!!!
