What others have to say…

“If you’re looking for the absolute best makeup artist in Pittsburgh, look no further! Shannon is an absolute GEM and the best makeup artist I’ve ever worked with. She worked her magic on me, my bridesmaids, and my mom, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. Each of us felt (and looked) like the best versions of ourselves, and our makeup looked flawless from start to finish.

The makeup lasted all day and night without a hitch, holding up beautifully through every emotional moment and celebration. I can honestly say that it was my favorite makeup look I've ever worn—her artistry is unparalleled. If you want to look and feel absolutely radiant on your wedding day, Shannon Cole is the one you need!” - Stephanie Superic (via Google)

“Shannon was one of the best choices I made for my wedding, if I could give more than 5 stars I would! After reading rave reviews online and stalking her work for awhile on Instagram, I reached out and hoped for the best as I knew I did not want anyone else! Everything from the booking process to pre-wedding communication to execution was seamless. She is incredibly talented, professional, and knowledgeable. From the start, she was always there to answer my questions (some even dumb and she did not judge for one second) - from skincare tips months out from the wedding to even what exfoliant pads she recommended for daily use (lifesaver) and I think made a big difference. We actually ended up doing my trial on my rehearsal dinner 2 days before the wedding because I knew I had nothing to worry about! She did a great job on everyone - and we had A LOT of ladies! Everyone loved their makeup and she made everyone feel at ease. Can't recommend Shannon enough!

I'm forever grateful for her care, patience, and positivity! She was so easy to get a long with and added fun and laughter to the morning getting ready with my friends - fit right in. I couldn't recommend her more, she is truly the BEST! Thank you so much Shannon for all that you do I love you and your work and will hopefully be reaching out in the future for any makeup needs!” - Elizabeth Raves (via Google)

“LADIES…this girl is the best in the biz. Not over exaggerating. If you want to look in the mirror and be like “Damn who is that flawless queen who resembles both a model and an angel…omg it’s me?” then you need Shannon. She’s extremely personable, fun and super sweet. She is a self-taught goddess who undeniably shines her light on her clients to transform each and every one into the best version of themselves. Every one of us that sat in her chair left still looking like ourselves, but way more flawless. She managed to personalize each look to suit each girl and the look they were envisioning, from soft and natural to dramatic and smoky. Also, everyone’s makeup lasted flawlessly until we took it off. I cried, I was outside, it was a long day, and everything stayed perfect. She spent so much time with me on the day of the trial to make sure everything was perfect. On the wedding day, she remembered everything we discussed at the trial and everything came out perfect! She was also a very calming force for me to talk to as my nerves were starting to get to me. She is the best of the best in every way. Again, can’t say enough good things about this amazing MUA. Simply, there is no one else. I may have had some mishaps along the way with other things related to the wedding, but my beauty team was phenomenal!” - Casey Peterson (via Facebook)

Shannon is absolutely incredible and that’s an understatement! She did wedding makeup and I could not ask for a better experience! She is beyond kind and professional, and made myself and bridesmaids each feel so special. Not only that, but our make up stayed on the WHOLE night even after hours of dancing! She made the getting ready experience so much fun for us just by joining in and laughing. I could not recommend this extremely talented and wonderful girl enough!!!! - Chelsey Withers (via Google)

“Shannon is amazing! She responded quickly to my emails and even drove to me for my bridal makeup trial. On the day of my wedding, she was able to accommodate the changes to my makeup and made me feel beautiful. My bridal party had a variety of skin tones that she easily matched. She has great time management skills and we all had a blast working with her!” - Bianca Giardina (via Facebook)

Shannon was easily one of the best choices I could have made for my wedding. Her work is absolutely stunning and lasted over 8 hours. She caters her technique to each individual beautifully — my bridesmaids and the moms were thrilled with their makeup, and my mom is not easy to please! Shannon also was just so much fun for the morning-of. Her energy was perfect. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! - Hannah Barkowitz (via Google)

“I don’t even know where to begin with Shannon. If you are in need of a makeup artist you need to run and book her NOW! When I first met Shannon and did my trial for my Bridal Shower I knew she was the perfect fit to do myself and my bridal party. Come wedding day Shannon was nothing short of amazing! Not only does she have a great personality and is fun to work with. She is one of the most talented make up artists I have come across. She pays attention to what her customers say they want and make them look absolutely flawless! If I could give Shannon 20 stars out of 5 I would. The confidence she gave me on my wedding day is unlike any other. I cannot rave enough about Shannon. We got compliments all night long about who did our makeup. Also it lasted the entire night for an end of June wedding. Thank you so much Shannon for being apart of our special day and absolutely killing it with myself, my mom, mother-in-law, and my bridal party!” - Bri Elizabeth (via Facebook)

“Shannon is incredible. Not only is she insanely personable, easy to talk to, and extremely professional, her makeup skills are unmatched! She did my makeup for my wedding in June 2018, and I could not have been happier with her work; I felt amazing & felt like myself! Just enhanced! And perfectly glowy! Despite the heat and humidity on the wedding day, the makeup stayed put. On top of all of that, she's super flexible and willing to work with you. For instance, one of my bridesmaids just wanted her eyes done instead of her whole face and Shannon was happy to do that. I could not recommend Shannon enough. She was a joy to work with and such a calming, fun presence on the wedding day. I'll definitely reach out her to for any of my future makeup needs.” - Danielle D’Andrea (via Facebook)

"I cannot put into words how happy my bridal party, my mother, and I were with our makeup for my wedding. Not only is Shannon absolutely amazing at her art, she is also so, so sweet and kind and truly made me feel special. She also really took her time during my trial run to make sure she and I were both on the same page. The bridesmaid’s makeup was so flawless, I had many people come up to me and the girls at our wedding saying things like our makeup was some of the best they had seen. I received messages from future brides months after my wedding asking who did my makeup because they loved it. Shannon also brought a great sidekick with her to assist with the bridesmaids who did just as great of a job as she did! I already am planning to contact Shannon again in the future for possible maternity pictures " - Erika Chelsey (via Facebook)

"Imagine this.
September wedding, wearing a 20lb dress, outside. Yea, it was hot! We were in the blazing sun for the ceremony, while the guests sat comfortably under tents. All of us were pouring sweat, but our make up didn't budge. It was like magic! We all looked flawless in photos and It lasted all the way through the night. This girl has talent! She is also really nice and very polite. Highly highly recommend" - Jessica Minton (via Facebook)

"Honestly, ladies. Look no further. I searched and searched and searched for a makeup artist for my wedding day. (I knew the type of work/look I was searching for and couldn’t seem to find it anywhere) I looked on the knot, I looked on Facebook and then one day on Instagram...I saw a post from Shannon and I was bewildered. She does impeccable work. You can tell that just from her portfolio pictures of previous clients on her social media profile. She has mastered the art of creating a natural makeup look with just the right amount of dramatic and glam elements. Impeccable! But let me tell you, not only is she talented, but professional, courteous and sweet. She set up a trial run with me about a month or two before the wedding so we could test out the makeup look before the big day. I went to her house and was astounded by the set-up...I felt like I was a Hollywood star getting my makeup done before some red carpet event! A comfortable chair, great lighting and an astounding amount of makeup products! We had a blast....I felt like I was just sitting and chatting with one of my best friends while being pampered and made beautiful at the same time! She asked me what my preferences were...bold brows, warm/cool tones, big dramatic lashes, matte or dewy skin?? She wants to do your makeup exactly how YOU want it. She gives you exactly what you want! Or...if you’re not so familiar with the art of makeup...you can trust in her amazing capabilities and let her do her magic! Fast forward to the big day...my wedding day! Shannon arrived RIGHT on time to our location. She plans out enough time to arrive and get herself all set up before she begins her work. My bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law could not say enough about Shannon’s talent and her kind-hearted spirit. My heart felt so full when my girls and both of my mothers felt so happy and beautiful after Shannon had done their makeup! I truly felt like a million bucks on the day of my wedding. I never had to lift a finger and was pampered the whole morning. Shannon is an incredible makeup artist and person! I don’t like to tell people what to do - but....stop looking all over the internet and reading all kinds of reviews, stop your worrying and book Shannon to do your makeup. You will be so happy that you did!! Thank you for making my wedding day perfect, Shannon!" - Kayleigh Stultz (via Facebook)

"Shannon is absolutely AMAZING! She did the makeup for my wedding and everyone looks fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about her! She is such a kind person and makes you feel so comfortable!" - Rose Martin (via Facebook)
