About Shanelle

"I’ve been passionate about beauty, art, and people for as long as I can remember."

I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Sociology. After graduating, I combined my love for beauty and interest in people to become a professional makeup artist. I’m constantly learning and perfecting my craft by taking classes, shadowing those more experienced, and self-education..

A Virginia Lover at Heart ...

I am a northern Virginia makeup artist that's been working with people with all types of complexions and a wide variety of distinctive features for a number of years. Although I am young with modern sensibilities, my training has prepared me to be able to work with people of any age group. My familiarity with countless cosmetics brands and ability to employ a wide range of techniques enables me to highlight my client's best features. Some people call me the Stafford makeup artist because of where I grew up, but most people know me as a versatile beauty specialist because of my experience working with many different types of clients.

 

Ever since I was a child, art and beauty have been my passions. My mother's makeup was my favorite toys and I learned many tips and tricks that I taught to my friends growing up. I practiced on them and they learned from me what made them look good. After earning a degree in psychology and sociology, I embraced my love for makeup, beauty, and people and chose a career as a professional makeup artist. Taking advanced classes to perfect my craft, networking and collaborating with other creative people has fueled my continued growth. I love to travel, so being a mobile makeup artist is the ideal career for me. 

You Are My Priority ...

My number one priority is making my clients look amazing and feel happy. My vast experience with a wide range of skin tones and types and the rave reviews I've received from my clients have made me confident in my ability as a professional makeup artist. I’m constantly learning, growing and gaining more skills I can share with my clients to make them look and feel more beautiful. Whether you are preparing for your wedding, your graduation, your birthday party or you just want to pamper yourself and look incredible any day of the week, give me a call. I'll grab my kit and get to you in a flash.
