Meet Shana.
The Beginning: I grew up in a household of 6 people, so undivided attention was a rare occasion, especially from Mom. I had a trick though! If I could pamper Mom she would definitely make time for me. That’s where it all began and how I learned to connect with women. Through these sweet moments of vulnerability where I could help my mom feel loved and cared for and of course - a little fancy.
A brief overview of my career in beauty: I specialize in camera-ready makeup which includes: Bridal, photoshoots, on-air talent and special events. I have been a professional makeup artist since 2011 and although my journey began in retail and bridal, I spent the majority of my professional career as the Makeup Artist for Univision 34 Atlanta. One of the highlights of my time with Univision was winning the 2017 Southeast EMMY Award for most outstanding craft specialty in Makeup. I also briefly worked for CNN before taking on a Makeup Artist role at the CHANEL Beauté boutique at the Avalon. From natural everyday looks, to a flawless airbrushed camera-ready complexion, my passion is curating the perfect beauty vision for your special moment.
let’s get personal
A Little about me
My passion is passion! If you love it I want to hear all about it.
On the Enneagram I am a 9-2-7 peacemaker, helper, enthusiast.
Hobbies include spending time in nature, baking, horticulture, and binge watching my favorite shows.
Love language is quality time or QT as I call it…there’s nothing that I enjoy more than breaking bread or sharing a good cup of coffee coupled with great conversation.
I absolutely love music. My music taste is eclectic but I have a proclivity to use music to curate the perfect mood.
Values
Be still. Oftentimes we find ourselves bogged down or overwhelmed with day-to-day planning and we forget to take time to just BE STILL and be present in the current moment. I remind myself of this each day.
Balance. Working to create life/work balance is a lifetime achievement. Each step I take in my career I ask myself “is this a step to improve the balance in my life?” Being a peacemaker, my heart gravitates towards balance and peace.
And here’s a cheesy motto : “you get out what you put in” I apply this to every aspect of my life.
I’m in your corner, I’m rooting for you!
