Saturday Spotlight: Shauna Kennedy Makeup

“Beauty is Shauna's lifelong passion. Having had trouble skin since a young age, she discovered ways to improve her skin’s appearance and help her feel more confident by using makeup and doing her hair. She brings this same insight, enthusiasm and care to each client engagement.

A licensed cosmetologist in Maryland since 2013, Shauna specializes in airbrush makeup, and is a Certified Temptu Pro Advanced Artist. Along with her work at ADB, Shauna has been a freelance artist for several major makeup, hair, and skincare brands, and has worked in education and management for both Ulta and Sephora.

Shauna's work has been featured in numerous publications, including Baltimore Weds, The Knot, Style Me Pretty, Chic Vintage Brides, Fever, and Love Inc Magazine, and on television for TLC, ESPN, and WBAL. Her hair and makeup work runs the gamut — from bodybuilding competitions and stage performances, to e-commerce, corporate headshots, editorial, print, and film.

With expansive knowledge spanning hair and skin products and cosmetics, Shauna loves trying out the latest technology to stay current on trends. Her specialties are mature skin, problematic skin, creating complexion perfection, and always finding the perfect lash to fit its wearer.

Most importantly, her work helps people feel more confident. "I love to empower others with the confidence to find their own inner beauty.””
