For over two decades, I’ve been deep in the beauty industry, working across fashion, red carpets, music, commercials, and press junkets—anywhere a great face is needed. My work has appeared in L’Officiel, and I’ve done covers for NOW Magazine and The Kit. I’ve had the privilege of working with icons like Kiefer Sutherland, Stellan Skarsgård, and the legendary Jane Goodall.
My kit? 100% cruelty-free and vegan. Because beauty should never come at the cost of ethics.
Beyond the brush, I’ve shaped the next generation of artists—teaching students and professionals alike how to refine their craft and break the rules the right way. I’ve also led beauty direction at SSENSE, where innovation and edge weren’t optional. Whether it’s a campaign, a cover, or a moment on the red carpet, I bring the same approach: technical precision, an eye for the unexpected, and a refusal to settle for the status quo.

"Shannon is an extremely talented artist who has done hair and makeup on a countless number of projects for me. First off, she’s a total pro who is really great at her job. But more importantly, she’s really great with people. Anyone who sits in her chair is treated like a close friend. From the perspective of a director, that is invaluable. She relaxes talent, makes them comfortable and builds their confidence while they sit with her. Because of this, Shannon makes my set a more positive, fun and inclusive space. And that’s why I always want her around. You should too."
