Make-Up Career: In 2002 Shannon earned her Cosmetology License & was working in a salon, however wanted to be more involved in the movie industry. After researching many different schools & visiting a few of them, she made her decision to move to LA in 2004. After graduating from the Master Make-Up Artistry Program at Make-Up Designory, she decided that she wanted to stay out in Los Angeles & see where life would take her.
