Hi! My name is Shawn & I'm a Bobbi Brown trained makeup artist who specializes in bridal makeup. Vis
Operating as usual
Love is always worth fighting for π
and wedding pictures last forever, so not just do you need to LOVE your groom (first & foremost) ... but you also need to love your wedding makeup artist!
This is "Lexi and Gavin: The Howard Theatre | Washington D.C." by Riverlight Films on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.
I could't be happier with how Sheila's makeup turned out because she looks flawless, over 5 hours after I did her makeup! She was married this past December wedding.... and her beauty and the pure joy of marrying the love of her life, just makes me so happy every time I see these photos!!!!
Professional photos truly reflect a makeup artist's talent level, so pick wisely!! B.O.B Photography did a phenomenal job of capturing Sheila's amazing but very rainy wedding day! Thank you Sharon Marcol for assisting me with the bridal party!!
Two days ago I walked into a coffee shop with my 2 year old and the woman who rang me up said "Wow, you are such a young mom!" I get this comment alot and I told her I was actually 34. She literally could not believe me and I told her I was a makeup artist and have been using an eye cream since I was 25. Ladies (and Men!) ~ PREVENTION is key to keeping wrinkles at bay but if you are 60 and just starting to think about an eye cream.....it is not too late!
I'm happy to announce that the BEST new ALL-NATURAL eye cream is officially here!!!!! Thank you Limelight for developing The Eye Aspire Eye Serum...... I have literally been searching high and low for the last 5 years to find an all natural eye product that ACTUALLY works to hydrate and help prevent wrinkles....and its finally on the market! Check it out on my page https://www.limelightbyalcone.com/facesbyshawn to learn more or purchase your very own!

Honored to do this clients makeup for one of her wedding celebrations yesterday.

Tuckernuck β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Absolutely loved the opportunity to help make the shoppers of Tuckernuck feel beautiful on Valentine's Day β€οΈ Their clothes are amazing and of course I bought some gorgeous items while working π
Ladies~ I will be at Tuckernuck (my new favorite store!!) on Valentine's Day doing complimentary eye makeup from 4-7pm. Have your man book dinner reservations in Georgetown and stop by the store beforehand for a fabulous smokey eye and to see their gorgeous spring line!! ππ ππ·β€οΈ
When I meet with the bride~ i like to get as much information about her wedding look (dress, hair, jewelry, flowers, venue etc) so I create a look that ties it all together π°ππ
This beautiful bride had an intimate wedding ceremony at the Inn at Little Washington on 10/22/16. Laura's porcelain skin is so beautiful with her dark hair and my goal was to make her skin look flawless but choose natural tones to highlight her beautiful face β€οΈ
Testimonial from one of the sweetest brides I have ever worked with πJanice was married on October 25, 2014 at the Bell Haven Country Club in Alexandria, Va π
"I couldn't have picked a better makeup artist to be with me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. The whole process felt so comfortable and easy. The word 'natural' keeps coming to mind -- Shawn really brings out the natural beauty in everyone! No one ever looked like their makeup was caked on or overwhelming, everyone just looked like the best versions of themselves. I remember looking around the room at my bridesmaids and thinking they had never looked better -- and the pictures confirm my feeling! Shawn is so incredibly friendly, organized, and professional, I felt completely comfortable with her during the makeup trial and in the weeks leading up the wedding. I never worried about my makeup for a second, and Shawn was so genuinely happy for me that it set such a great tone for the day. I recommend Shawn for every bride-to-be, and everyone I know who has used her services on their wedding day has been so thrilled!"
Doing makeup at The Willard Hotel for the Inauguration with my Bobbi Brown team was an experience I will never forget! I've done countless weddings at this historic hotel but being apart of such a epic event and meeting women from all over the country who came to either be apart of the Inauguration and/or The Women's March was just incredible incredible!

Ladies~ thought this article might be helpful! Foundation should match your skin color (specifically your forehead) and only be applied where you need it. And concealer goes under your eyes...not your foundation ;) This article addresses all this and more!

One of my least favorite makeup items to shop for and apply is foundation. Finding the right one and applying it correctly seems somewhat more of a science than an art. It's not like eyeshadows, where you can pick whatever looks pretty and experiment
I was honored to be apart of such a beautiful fall wedding at the Watergate Hotel yesterday. Erica is naturally stunning and wanted a more natural bridal look...her groom could not take his eyes off herπ And her family was just as beautiful and sweet!!

In honor of this pretty girl's birthday month... Here are some photos from her June 2014 wedding β€οΈ Its so fun for me to be part of my friends most special day of their life!
Every bride should have a makeup trial before their big day. It's a great chance to find a bridal look you love and make sure your comfortable with your artist. On your wedding day, makeup is the last step before your step in your dress. It's my favorite time of the day....getting to pamper the bride before she walks down the aisle to her groom πβ€οΈπ
Finally getting a chance to upload photos of one of my all-time favorite winter wedding's! I loved doing the makeup for this fun group of girls, gorgeous bride and the unbelievable location on the water in St. Michael's, MD couldn't have been more beautiful for her December wedding!!
Happy Anniversary Janice and Frank! It was so fun to be apart of your special day and watch you guys tie the knot. Love you both so much and was so honored to do the makeup for this wonderful wedding party!!!!!
