Shannon and her assistant Isis were THE best make up artists I have ever experienced during a wedding. Shannon is professional and showed up early to set up, efficiently finished our 7 women plus the bride with time to spare, and we ALL looked flawless! Everyone was amazed at how beautiful they looked! She had a wide range of palates and colors to accommodate all skin tones and even took into consideration our individual skin textures making sure to prep accordingly. Something that stood out was her attention to cleanliness with her equipment as well. She was even available for touch ups throughout our preparation for the ceremony. She is focused and fun and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent make up artist for any special occasions !! Also make sure to follow her IG to see her great work @shannieonthebeat

I had my first encounter with Shannie when she did my makeup as a bridesmaid. After flipping through her diverse portfolio and our interaction I was sold on booking her. Shannie has done my engagement photos, baby shower, and wedding. She is personable, professional, communicative, on-time, & just an overall pleasure to work with. I am in awe of her work and just love how my photographer didn't have to do much editing. Book her you will NOT be disappointed.

Engagement, wedding & baby shower ❤️ Shannie will always be my go to for my special events. She’s professional, kind, and so fun to talk to. She communicates well and her end product is just perfection!

Ps. The engagement photo attached was taken hours after!

Shannon is the best! She has been doing my makeup since 2018, including for my wedding, and she consistently does a wonderful job. For my wedding, my makeup was so flawless that I was still able to wear it to brunch the next day! :-) 10/10 would recommend!!

I found Shannie on social media when I was looking through wedding photos of friends that had the best looks and makeup. Shannie’s name came up several times in my search of wedding makeup looks I loved. I reached out almost a whole year in advance to Shannie and one other makeup artist and Shannie was the most welcoming and professional as well as open to being booked out so far in advance. When compared to the other other artist and stories I have heard from friends experiences with others makeup artists I knew I found the perfect person off hospitality professionalism and sheer talent alone.

I was happily surprised by Shannie’s upbeat fun and welcoming personality when I met her in person for my trail/ engagement photo shoot makeup. It was like hanging with a close girlfriend. The laughs and genuine care was exceptional.

During and after my wedding i received endless compliments and inquiries about who did my makeup. I’m talking aunts, friends, other engaged brides. After my recommendations booked with Shannie they reached out to share how awesome their experiences with Shannie were also!

Shannie is so exceptional that she is literally the ONLY makeup artist I book with. If I was a celebrity she would easily be on the payroll! Lol Since my wedding I have booked with Shannie 3 additional times, 2 maternity photo shoots and the only baby shower Ive had. You can bet she is and will be my first call for any other makeup needs. When I tell you RUN to her calendar and pray she is available. I mean just that! #simplyTheeBest! No exaggeration!

As a bride you want to look beautiful, feel beautiful, and have the time of your life without wondering if you still look good hours later. Shannie is an absolute treasure. She blessed my face for my engagement photos and before the shoot ended, I knew I wasn’t letting her leave without hiring her for the big day. She has literally been my MUA since that day! Six years ago! That’s how good she is. That’s how consistent she is. That’s how kind she is. That’s how much calm her spirit brings to every milestone celebration. I still gush over my engagement and wedding photos. I’m forever grateful!

If you are looking for a confident makeup artist. Please consider booking Shannon. She was filled with expertise, laughs, and great conversation. She did an excellent job on me and my girls. She even helped out with my hair (she saw me struggling lol).

I don’t know where to begin! From the first time I met Shannie ( Makeup Trial) she just gave this wonderful burst of energy! She is super fun, energetic and so down to earth!!!! My bridesmaids and I allllll love her!!!!! I highly recommend her!!!! She helped make me feel like a princess for my bridal shower and wedding! The vibes and energy she brings is unmatched. Amazing professionalism and super skilled at her craft.

Shannie was awesome. She was a pleasure to work with and so sweet to everyone in my bridal party including my mom. She respected my wishes when it came to the makeup style and made sure everyone looked great on the day of the wedding. Would happily recommend her services.

I found Shannie on IG and boy am I glad I did! I decided to use my bridal trial for my engagement photos and all I can say is WOW! It was at least 85 that day and we were in DC humidity and when I tell you my face stayed put, my makeup DID. NOT. MOVE. I blotted and was sweating, but my pictures are fabulous! Fast forward to the wedding day, I didn’t have a bridal party so it was just my mom & I getting our makeup done. Shannie arrived early and kept me laughing and stress-free. My face stayed matte and I didn’t have any streaks from my tears throughout the day. My photos are FLAWLESS! Shannon Cosby is an AMAZING MUA and I would definitely recommend her!
