👋 hi!

I'm Shannon, an esthetician and freelance makeup artist based in Los Angeles. I have 11 years of experience in the industry and am a member of the IATSE 706 union. I received my esthetics training at Avenue Five Institute in Austin, TX and further developed my skills in the Vancouver Film School's 1-year Makeup for Television and Film program. 

My favorite makeup designs are those that enhance or diminish a character's look while still allowing the person/actor/character to shine through. I specialize in TV/Film projects and video commercials and love the creative process of bringing characters to life through makeup.

Aside from my work on set, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion for makeup with others through my social media channels. You can find me creating educational content on TikTok (93K), YouTube (16.1K), and Instagram (4K) @MakeupByShannonMarie or researching makeup and skincare products always in search of my next favorite thing.
