About Shannon

Shannon Renee, started her makeup training, years before she knew she was going to be a makeup artist, with the chores of applying makeup for the dead at her home. Shannon, the daughter of a funeral director was raised over a funeral home as a child. She had the wonderful chore of helping her father with the funerals; applying makeup was one of the tasks on her list. Little did Shannon know, this would open the door to what she would become in life. Shannon continued her makeup skills throughout her high school years applying makeup for all the students. Shannon, received her first paid makeup job at the age of 16, but was still determined to be an actor although her makeup skills were becoming great. Shannon continued her education at Howard University in Washington, DC pursuing the craft of acting. Upon her education at Howard, Shannon, like many others took a makeup course with the renowned Reggie Ray. This class would change her life and career path forever. Shannon completed the course and knew that she no longer wanted to become a professional actor; Shannon, determined to find a solution to her newfound love of makeup wanted more than what the class had to offer. In return, Shannon, along with Reggie Ray created a preliminary program to expand the makeup course making Shannon one of the first to graduate Howard University with a Makeup Certificate of Accreditation along with a B.F.A. Shannon also received a B.F.A in Acting. Shannon’s 25+ years in the craft of makeup, range spans from beauty makeup to special effects. Shannon, has excelled in the craft of makeup artistry; when she was inducted into the makeup artist union at the age of 25, Shannon was one of their youngest members at the time. Shannon, has worked on over 50+ films / 25+ Television shows / countless music videos / National Broadway Tours / Concerts / National Editorial work in her makeup career.

Shannon was awarded Makeup Artist of the Year 2008. Shannon’s first published Book “Makeup is Just…Colored Dirt”. Is currently writing her second book “The Pretty Department! The Business of Makeup for TV & Film”. Shannon’s, upbeat, creative, and colorful personality, her warm and welcoming smile is a plus to all that she has the honor to work with. Shannon, believes that makeup is just as personal as someone's name; Shannon, makes sure she allows her talent’s beauty and or film directors vision clearly shines through with a little help from her. Makeup is still one of the things that you still get to play with, as an adult, Shannon, never stops playing! In 2023 Shannon added to her career path when she partnered with her wife to start a film production company HAVE YOU MET ME PRODUCTIONS, where they shot and produced their first film Dimes. Moving to a seat behind the camera as a producer has been a welcoming challenge and change for Shannon adding to the full breadth of the filmmaking process and having more women and people of color in the room where things happen is a focus she has been driven to ensure.
