The artist behind the magic.
The bride who gets it.
Hi, I'm Shannon!
I'm a licensed esthetician, bridal makeup artist, and recent bride based in Lafayette, CA, serving the San Francisco Bay Area and East Bay.
Makeup has been part of my life for over 12 years. What started as a hobby turned into a full-blown career I am so deeply proud of. I earned my esthetics license in Louisiana in 2021 and have been doing professional makeup for 5 years, bringing both skin expertise and artistry to every single client I sit down with.
I sat in that chair on my own wedding day. I felt all the nerves. I wanted more than anything to look like ME. That experience completely changed how I show up for every bride I work with. I don't just do your makeup — I hold space for you on one of the most emotional, beautiful days of your life.
Why I do this.
THE REASON BEHIND IT ALL
Makeup found me before I found it. For 12 years, it was just something I loved, a hobby, a creative outlet, my happy place. Then life pushed me toward a crossroads, and I made the best decision I've ever made: I went all in.
I became a licensed esthetician because I believe beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin. I became a bridal artist because I know exactly how a bride feels in that chair — nervous, emotional, wanting so badly to look like herself.
"I've been there. And that changes everything about how I show up for you. "💍
As a proud Puerto Rican, I also know firsthand that beauty isn't one-size-fits-all. Every face tells a story — and mine is to make sure yours is told beautifully on your wedding day.

Now it's your turn."
