Shannon Barnes Makeup Artist in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Natural born makeup artist who won an award in makeup at age 15 without any formal training.

I embarked on an adventure of self-education that has taken me through fashion and commercial print, film, television, runway (mostly in Boston), and pageant work, not to mention wedding, which I strongly dislike and will only do if severely coerced!

Experimental work is of interest to me and I am constantly learning more about photographic techniques and lighting, having had the opportunity to work with an almost limitless variety of photographers.

I am listed with every major national news network, having done work for PBS, CNN American Morning, Court TV, Bloomberg TV, Good Morning America and FOX News, with numerous politicians and a few celebrities along the way.

I have personally trained and done makeup for Miss USA and Teen USA national winners and finalists, and continue to work on and update my portfolio.
