About

Hey there! My Name is Shanté Coleman and I am a Professional Makeup Artist. For bridal & special occasion makeup in Knoxville TN & surrounding areas you can trust me! I have over 7 years of experience in the Beauty industry, including print, bridal, corporate, film, head-shots, and other special events. In 2014 I graduated from Douglas J Aveda Institute and became a Licensed Esthetician.

​I love each and every one of my clients but my brides hold a very special place in my heart. I feel so honored when they choose me to be a part of their special day! When a bride comes to me, I know it's my job to help her feel the most beautiful she's ever felt on her wedding day. Sitting down and talking with my brides before applying makeup is such an important piece of the puzzle for me. I love hearing about why she chose their venue, what colors she's picked out, what her bouquet is going to look like, how she envisions herself on her wedding day - these all play in to creating her perfectly customized bridal makeup and gives me the opportunity to learn more about her and her love story.

My clients are like my extended family. Without them, my career as a professional makeup artist wouldn't exist. I truly feel blessed with the life I've been given--to wake up every day and do something I love! Thank you for being a part of my journey and I cant wait to talk to you!

xoxo

If you want to feel gorgeous and comfortable on your big day, book Shante!

I booked Shante YuSlay for my bride & bridal party makeup and SLAY she did! She had allllll of us looking like Vogue models regardless of how much or how little makeup we wore. Even though I don’t wear makeup often, she had me feeling comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day with a soft glam look. She even braved the downtown traffic to come back to touch me up between photos and actually walking down the aisle. Best decision ever! I look forward to booking with her for future photoshoots!

Make up/body art/photo shoot prep

So passionate about the work she does! Her creativity is through the roof it’s not often that I tell someone I trust them and to do whatever they want! She is one of those people you can trust with this! So knowledgeable about different types of skin and products as well I love how she always tries to apply the make up while teaching you techniques that you can do on your own as well! Fabulous customer service and a wonderful personality!

Shante is absolutely phenomenal! She worked hard to ensure my bridesmaids and I felt beautiful on my wedding day. I will never forget the way she made me feel so calm and collected during the chaos too. She is truly gifted at what she does. Make hiring her one of the easiest decisions of your planning process! 😊

Wedding makeup for me and my bridesmaids

I saw her work from someone I knew and I knew right then she is who I wanted to do my wedding makeup! I sent her pictures of what I wanted and we did a test run. After that I decided to go with a different look and she was all for it! Not only that it looked just like the picture. She uses high quality makeup and is very fun but yet professional. She got to have mimosas while listening to music while getting ready! Made my wedding morning so fun! You can go to her or she will come to you but we chose to go to her! All of our makeup stayed on all day and night! Even looked good that following morning!

My wedding was one year ago. Shante was one of the makeup artists. It was my first time working with her. She was VERY PROFESSIONAL and went with the flow of the day. I want to highlight that we had a scheduled list of ladies getting their makeup done. When others saw the beautiful faces that Shante brought to life, they began to ask if they too could get theirs done... although it was unplanned! With the most beautiful heart and spirit... Shante kept saying YES and made every face she touched even more beautiful! I’m not sure how she did it by start of wedding time, but she made it happen! If you’re looking for an extremely talented, fun, and professional makeup artist, contact Shante of Shante YuSlay! My Girls and I ALL SLAYED that day! To me, it’s about relationship building and that is exactly what happened a year ago. Shante is my makeup artist, and she is very accommodating. THANK YOU, SHANTE for making my Girls so beautiful on my wedding day! And thank you that I can call you anytime and you are there to give me a fresh look!

Shante is amazing!

I have never enjoyed getting my make up done bc I typically don’t wear a lot. However, Shante changed that for me. She was super nice, and very professional. She listened to all the bridesmaids individually and really made us feel beautiful. I have never had make up look as good as on that day! I cannot wait to have my own wedding so she can do what she does best. She is a kind soul and beautiful on the inside and out. You will not regret having her do your make up for your event or big day!
