00:00:17
Speaker
I've been up since 4 a.m.
00:00:18
Speaker
Shannon, can you believe it?
00:00:20
Speaker
I've been getting work done and busy me, right?
00:00:24
Speaker
But I haven't been up since 4, but I've been up early.
00:00:27
Speaker
about you today and your creative talent of makeup, male grooming and artistry.
00:00:37
Speaker
Guys, before we get started, Shannon is a good friend of mine.
00:00:40
Speaker
We talk about everything from life to relationships to people to the world we live in, to everything.
00:00:47
Speaker
This is, if I need girl advice, she's giving me the gems.
00:00:51
Speaker
But anyway, I met Shannon a few years ago at a club I worked at, Shouts Out the Time, the Crocker Club.
00:00:57
Speaker
Shannon then was training in a gym in North Hollywood where I used to train and she started becoming my client.
00:01:04
Speaker
And then we just kept in touch and now we're here and we're great friends and she's a real one.
00:01:09
Speaker
She's genuine.
00:01:11
Speaker
But she happens to be a celebrity makeup artist.
00:01:14
Speaker
So we're talking about her thing as a boyfriend.
00:01:19
Speaker
You there?
00:01:19
Speaker
Yeah, I'm here.
00:01:22
Speaker
Okay, cool.
00:01:24
Speaker
All right.
00:01:25
Speaker
So Shannon, you know, before we get started, can you just tell people like where you're from and how did you get started into like doing makeup?
Journey to Makeup Artistry
00:01:35
Speaker
I'm from New Jersey and I started first I was painting and doing art and It kind of just fell it was like, oh, what am I gonna do?
00:01:47
Speaker
and Actually, I was working with a makeup artist who was doing my makeup for a shoot and I was like, hmm This is like interesting.
00:01:57
Speaker
I like this because it's like you're working with
00:02:00
Speaker
with people so it kind of just the art took me into doing makeup on the faces kind of like that got it so so art led into like makeup so was that always your passion as a child did your mom inspire you your dad like who where did you get your inspiration to uh to be an artist or start doing art where did that start at what age
00:02:24
Speaker
a very young age.
00:02:26
Speaker
I started doing, well, instead of paying attention to school, I was drawing pictures in class.
00:02:36
Speaker
I love that.
00:02:38
Speaker
I mean, kind of should have probably paid attention, but that's where it started when I was younger.
00:02:43
Speaker
And then it just led to doing makeup.
00:02:46
Speaker
And now actually, since the quarantine happened, I came back to doing art, actually like painting.
00:02:54
Speaker
We want to get into that because you're a really good artist.
00:02:57
Speaker
We've evolved into a circle.
00:02:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:59
Speaker
And so how long have you been a makeup artist?
00:03:04
Speaker
I've been doing makeup, gosh, it's been over 10 years.
00:03:08
Speaker
Really?
00:03:09
Speaker
Time flies.
00:03:10
Speaker
I've been to LA 10 years.
00:03:13
Speaker
And so I know we talked...
00:03:16
Speaker
You talked a few years ago about how persistent, can you kind of give people here the story on how you kind of got into the makeup industry and how persistent you were with signing with your agency or can you just kind of give us that synopsis?
00:03:29
Speaker
I think that's important for people to not get the training.
00:03:32
Speaker
Very persistent.
00:03:34
Speaker
I did everything that I could possibly do to get in the industry, like get someone's coffee.
00:03:41
Speaker
I did whatever.
00:03:41
Speaker
I would work.
00:03:43
Speaker
I worked at the Mac store and then on the weekends I would do music videos, assisting people constantly.
00:03:51
Speaker
I did so many free jobs before I started to pay like tons of free work.
00:03:56
Speaker
I still do free work because if I'm passionate about the project and they might not have a lot of money, but it's something where I get to be creative.
00:04:04
Speaker
I feel like you have to constantly keep your foot in the door.
00:04:10
Speaker
Keep, because it's like,
00:04:12
Speaker
the trends are constantly changing things it's constantly changing so you have to keep like evolving in this in the entertainment industry you can't or you'll just be stuck yeah you know so it's very persistent very and i still do it like the hustle has never stopped that's why it was so nice for quarantine like 2020 i actually was able to like sit down for a second and not
00:04:37
Speaker
It's like constantly when you're a freelance, and I've been freelancing for over 10 years, you have to constantly reinvent yourself.
00:04:42
Speaker
It's like such a – I love it, but it's a lot of work,
Makeup Skills and Celebrity Clients
00:04:47
Speaker
you know.
00:04:47
Speaker
Yeah, and how do you get better as a makeup artist?
00:04:49
Speaker
Like how do you sharpen your tools?
00:04:50
Speaker
Is it just constantly doing like other people's makeup or working?
00:04:54
Speaker
Like how do you get better?
00:04:56
Speaker
A lot of practice, a lot of practice, working with different people, challenging yourself.
00:05:03
Speaker
I like to watch other makeup artists that I look up to and practice trying different things.
00:05:10
Speaker
You know.
00:05:10
Speaker
What's the one you look up to right now that stands out to you, that you like?
00:05:13
Speaker
I, well, there's a lot of Joe Baker.
00:05:19
Speaker
Joe Baker.
00:05:20
Speaker
There's a lot of makeup artists that can just, they're my peers that I love and I get inspired from.
00:05:28
Speaker
And so you say you've been in the business for about 10 years.
00:05:31
Speaker
When was your,
00:05:33
Speaker
first celebrity client and who was it um my first celebrity client was jennifer hudson oh yeah that's right shout out to jennifer hey hudson that's dope
00:05:46
Speaker
And what was that was like your first year, your second year?
00:05:48
Speaker
How long did it take you?
00:05:50
Speaker
I was just working at the Mac store and she like came to the store to try products and I just said hello to her.
00:05:57
Speaker
And I put like, you know, sold her some stuff and then she called the store like two weeks later asking like, oh, why don't you work with that girl that helped me?
Personality and Energy in Makeup Artistry
00:06:07
Speaker
and it was on from there and so yeah you you actually got a a a gig from working at a store i thought you know you met on set or through someone at the agency no just from being at the max store but a lot of it has to do with like not only in this industry is like your um work it's also um
00:06:34
Speaker
your like your skills but it's also your like personality and your energy that you bring yeah you know you have to kind of like you're working with so many different people and you're in their faces you have to like kind of adapt you know and just be like a chameleon and just really
00:06:52
Speaker
feel what people are going through and kind of just, you know.
00:06:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:56
Speaker
If you have energy, by the way, let's talk about that.
00:06:58
Speaker
You're a 2911, Life Path 11.
00:07:00
Speaker
Shannon is a healer guy.
00:07:02
Speaker
So she has very great, beautiful energy.
00:07:05
Speaker
She's a good soul.
00:07:06
Speaker
And I feel I just got this epiphany, Shannon.
00:07:10
Speaker
I feel when you do other people's makeup or grooming, you're actually healing them.
00:07:15
Speaker
I know that might sound crazy to some people listening, but I think your energy and your makeup, your artistry is healing them at the time.
00:07:22
Speaker
I don't know what you're healing them from, but I feel like it's more than just makeup with you.
00:07:26
Speaker
I feel like you put your passion, your energy, your love, and I think people can feel that.
00:07:32
Speaker
And that's why they want you around.
00:07:33
Speaker
They want to be around you.
00:07:35
Speaker
Get Shannon on set.
00:07:38
Speaker
Like that's one thing I always stood out to me, like just hanging like you just have great energy.
00:07:44
Speaker
I think that's very important when you're a makeup artist or whatever profession you use to really value your energy and the work you put into yourself.
00:07:51
Speaker
You put a lot of work into yourself.
00:07:52
Speaker
You work out, you read books, you do a lot of self work.
00:07:55
Speaker
And I think that shows in your work, you know.
00:07:58
Speaker
I love what I do.
00:08:00
Speaker
I truly love what I do.
00:08:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:04
Speaker
I love it.
00:08:06
Speaker
But I wanted to also, because I feel like you said men's grooming, and I feel like we always talk about women and makeup, and the industry is so about women and makeup.
00:08:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:20
Speaker
But I wanted to touch a little bit on- Yeah, I definitely wanted to, because we know you got to leave soon, because you have to be on set, because you're always working.
00:08:32
Speaker
We won't say what celebrity, but we know you got to be on set soon.
00:08:35
Speaker
So I appreciate you talking to me while you're here.
00:08:37
Speaker
But yeah, male grooming.
00:08:38
Speaker
It's very important.
00:08:40
Speaker
I think it's underrated.
00:08:42
Speaker
We don't get enough attention.
00:08:43
Speaker
And thankful that I was able to go on a TV show and being seen on camera all the time.
00:08:50
Speaker
It made me look at myself different.
00:08:52
Speaker
And let's talk about that.
00:08:53
Speaker
I actually have some questions for you that I put in my notes section of my phone.
00:09:00
Speaker
So one of the questions is, as a man, and for men, what should they be aware of when it comes to grooming themselves?
00:09:08
Speaker
Like, what's the first thing first from a woman's perspective, from a makeup artist's perspective?
00:09:12
Speaker
What should
Male Grooming and Skincare Tips
00:09:13
Speaker
we know?
00:09:13
Speaker
What should we think about?
00:09:16
Speaker
Well, I feel like definitely like skin, like blackheads.
00:09:24
Speaker
A lot of guys don't like, I don't know, maybe not.
00:09:32
Speaker
Promoted towards women and men actually love to be pampered because all my male clients love all the little things and guys, there's things, well, I have some things that there's a bunch of little things that I use to when I'm on set for guys and not all the time.
00:09:53
Speaker
Can I, so when I'm doing women's makeup, I focus more on like putting the makeup on because I only have a certain amount of time with men.
00:09:59
Speaker
I focus more on like skincare because
00:10:03
Speaker
I don't, I don't, I have more time.
00:10:04
Speaker
I don't have to like put makeup on.
00:10:06
Speaker
So I do things like maybe hot towel, wash the face, get the blackheads out the nose.
00:10:13
Speaker
There's different things that you can use like these little strips to get the, these are clean and clear.
00:10:19
Speaker
The little strips that you put on the nose.
00:10:21
Speaker
Oh really?
00:10:22
Speaker
I need to get something out.
00:10:23
Speaker
And it's great.
00:10:24
Speaker
So like if you steam your face beforehand with a hot towel, hot towel, steam your face.
00:10:31
Speaker
Not like scorching hot.
00:10:33
Speaker
and then put this on there um you get the blackheads off and then you let it dry and then you can rip it off i suggest also like getting facials you know you get facial yeah i get facials once a month by the way everyone once a month you can get a facial once a month women and men i'm telling you right now your skin
00:10:56
Speaker
I had no foundation on ladies like, okay, I get a patient once a month.
00:11:01
Speaker
It's an investment.
00:11:03
Speaker
It's so worth it.
00:11:04
Speaker
Like you're and drinking lots of water, lots of water and sunscreen.
00:11:11
Speaker
Oh, see, can you talk about that?
00:11:12
Speaker
My esthetician tells me about sunscreen all the time.
00:11:14
Speaker
I'm like, I'm not wearing sunscreen.
00:11:16
Speaker
I'm black.
00:11:16
Speaker
I don't need it.
00:11:17
Speaker
Can you kind of give people a... No, I don't care what skin tone color you are.
00:11:21
Speaker
Why sunscreen?
00:11:23
Speaker
Because it protects your skin.
00:11:25
Speaker
Well, the sun right now is so harsh.
00:11:27
Speaker
And like any dark mark you have on your face, it's going to make it darker when you go out in the sun.
00:11:32
Speaker
For ladies, they, you know, women of like fair complexion,
00:11:38
Speaker
they will not see you don't see sun damage usually until you're older so you can get it and then when you get older you start to get like darker marks so sunscreen is so important for darker complexion it just makes other areas darker so if you have a mark that's darker around your mouth or anywhere on your face it just makes it darker it just protects your skin from the sun and let me show you one sunscreen sorry
00:12:05
Speaker
Star E, I got your questions too.
00:12:06
Speaker
I'm going to ask those questions soon.
00:12:08
Speaker
This sunscreen right here, can you see them?
00:12:12
Speaker
Is seriously the best.
00:12:14
Speaker
What's the name of it?
00:12:16
Speaker
It's E-L-T-A-M-D.
00:12:20
Speaker
But it's so good for darker skin tones as well.
00:12:23
Speaker
Like I know a lot of darker, like people with darker complexion, they're like, oh, it makes my face look white or it smells.
00:12:30
Speaker
This does not do any of that stuff.
00:12:33
Speaker
It's so good.
00:12:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:35
Speaker
Yo, so Starema had a question.
00:12:38
Speaker
Her question is, besides gender, what are the major differences you notice with male grooming as opposed to women?
00:12:48
Speaker
Differences.
00:12:50
Speaker
Well, with the differences, like, well, mostly, let's say the one I'm applying the makeup or
00:13:02
Speaker
like the differences in my understanding did you get stuck Eric hello yeah I'm here can you hear me we'll say with applying makeup um yeah I mean when I do makeup on men I do like less makeup um okay
00:13:26
Speaker
you know, like I don't put a lot of makeup on.
00:13:28
Speaker
I've made mostly focus on skincare when I work with men because I have more time to focus on skin, skincare.
00:13:35
Speaker
When I work with women, we only have a certain amount of time and women are more into their skincare.
00:13:41
Speaker
Men aren't as much into their skincare, but I feel like as I do men's grooming, men get into our, into it.
00:13:51
Speaker
Like these little, um, I,
00:13:56
Speaker
patches yeah i got some of them i actually should put them on right now men love these and then all my male clients love these eye drops they're called lumify and they make the white of your eyes like so white
00:14:12
Speaker
And they love these.
00:14:13
Speaker
See, these are like little things that men can do without putting makeup on to like... You know what, Shannon, one day I got to come over and maybe we can do like a reel together and you kind of like do like some steps on like the eye drops, the things underneath the eye and just give people a tutorial of what that feels like and looks like.
Personal Style and Essential Makeup Products
00:14:32
Speaker
I'm willing to do it if you... Yeah, because guys like they, there's lots of little things that men can do to like, you know, pump up their
00:14:42
Speaker
pop up the volume pop up the volume pop up pop pop pop
00:15:12
Speaker
love it she so starting uh miss star style another question she said how would you describe your personal makeup style my personal makeup style um for women is i like a fresh face with like a pop eye or a pop lip i love to keep the skin fresh i do not like a lot of makeup on the face even when someone has um
00:15:41
Speaker
you know, skin, maybe they need to cover up their skin.
00:15:44
Speaker
You don't need to use a lot of product.
00:15:46
Speaker
What I see a lot of times is on the YouTube and the tutorials is like people using so much product.
00:15:52
Speaker
You don't need to use that much product.
00:15:54
Speaker
Like a lot of the products they make these days are very pigmented and you only need a small amount to get the, you know, the look or coverage that you want.
00:16:05
Speaker
But I love to see skin.
00:16:08
Speaker
I love skin, but I love color.
00:16:11
Speaker
And I don't care what age you are.
00:16:14
Speaker
I don't, you can always put a fun eyeliner on and keep your skin like fresh or fresh skin and like a nice bright lip.
00:16:24
Speaker
So I like color with fresh skin.
00:16:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:27
Speaker
So as a man.
00:16:28
Speaker
And I like men's makeup too.
00:16:29
Speaker
I like putting makeup on.
00:16:31
Speaker
men like eyeliner or not every guy is into that but i think it's definitely something that's like you know being i mean thank god being more accepted you don't have to like yeah they put makeup on when we're on set when i'm on set for like different tv shows they put like bronzer or stuff like that i guess that's what you call it yeah
00:16:55
Speaker
I know as a man, I run or come across women who have a lot of makeup on and it's obvious and I can see it.
00:17:04
Speaker
So from your perspective, being, you know, an artist and makeup and doing makeup, what do you think is the misconception that women have about makeup?
00:17:13
Speaker
Because you can literally see that they have so much makeup on that it's like it's not even their face.
00:17:19
Speaker
Why do you think most women put so much makeup or they don't know how to apply the makeup?
00:17:24
Speaker
I think, well, you know, what the right now, I think maybe it's pulling back a little bit, but like a year or so or two ago was like,
00:17:34
Speaker
heavy makeup was like the industry, like the air makeup has like an air.
00:17:40
Speaker
If you go back in time, you could, Oh, the twenties, a skinny brow or, you know, the nineties maybe.
00:17:46
Speaker
So I feel like the air of makeup is just more heavier, but I feel like women are starting to like pull back with the makeup or there might be just thinking like maybe they're trying to cover something up, you know, or they just don't know how to apply the makeup.
00:18:04
Speaker
their face they have never like maybe had someone show them or you know they're watching the wrong tutorial it's like just you see not everything is for everybody you know when I do different clients I create a look that's catered towards them you know I don't give everybody the same brow I don't put the same lashes on everybody when I pick lashes for people I'm looking at the texture of their hair and
00:18:29
Speaker
oh big thick hair they can carry a big thick lash if they have their hair is thin and it's a lighter color i'm not going to put a big lash what i see is a lot of makeup artists they do the same face on everybody and it's not everybody's face is different yeah so but if i
00:18:48
Speaker
A lot of people have to do something online or they see something and they apply it to themselves and it's not necessarily, you know, you have to kind of create your own things.
00:18:59
Speaker
Jamie Tworkowski There's another question.
00:19:01
Speaker
What are two products every makeup artist should have in their kit?
00:19:05
Speaker
Jamie Tworkowski Two products.
00:19:08
Speaker
Oh my gosh.
00:19:10
Speaker
It's like I need mascara is definitely one of them.
00:19:17
Speaker
and I mean foundation, I mean mascara is like, I feel like, let me say this, like I think every woman should have mascara and some type of lip conditioner that's like a tint.
00:19:34
Speaker
Lip conditioner?
00:19:35
Speaker
Hold up, hold up.
00:19:36
Speaker
Lip conditioner.
00:19:37
Speaker
That's something with lip.
00:19:39
Speaker
That's tinted that you can use when you're in your, I have lip conditioner on my lips and I put it on my cheeks.
00:19:47
Speaker
want something like you can have that on the go you can put on your lips and your cheeks like a lot of women are scared of letting blush sometimes but blush when it's applied to the apples of the cheeks it gives such a youthful look to the face like a younger youthful look to the skin so you don't have to apply it all over it's just little amounts it's best to start off with little amounts and you can add because
00:20:17
Speaker
it easier to add on and take off.
00:20:20
Speaker
Jamie Tworkowski See, I like that.
00:20:22
Speaker
Someone just said, I'm here for the male grooming tips.
00:20:25
Speaker
You might have missed that segment.
00:20:26
Speaker
But can you kind of what thing should a man have in his bathroom or in his bag, his to go bag?
00:20:32
Speaker
You said the eye patches, right?
00:20:34
Speaker
Jamie Tworkowski Okay, the eye patch.
00:20:37
Speaker
So the eye gel things, the strips for the nose to get out the blackheads, the Lumify,
00:20:45
Speaker
eye drops lumify that's so good sunscreen a good sunscreen a good exfoliating scrub Jack Jack black this line is really good for men I love it and brow gel for the eyebrows is really good for guys to it just gives like clear brow gel to brush the eyebrows up
00:21:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:14
Speaker
And if you can get a facial once a month.
00:21:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:17
Speaker
Facials, babe.
00:21:19
Speaker
I like the teeth whitening strips.
00:21:21
Speaker
I have white strips.
00:21:24
Speaker
There's so many little things that guys can do to
00:21:28
Speaker
get the pan keep the hands done and also another little thing that i if you get razor bumps um stop using razors and use clippers yeah because the raises when you use razors they mess your whole situation up yeah
00:21:48
Speaker
So look, there's a segment in the live that I do just to break up the questions.
Art as Meditation and Creative Inspiration
00:21:54
Speaker
It's called Rapid Fire.
00:21:55
Speaker
So I'm going to say two words.
00:21:57
Speaker
You're going to pick one.
00:21:58
Speaker
It's really simple, really easy.
00:22:00
Speaker
Are you ready?
00:22:01
Speaker
Okay.
00:22:03
Speaker
It's catered to you and what you do.
00:22:05
Speaker
So it's not going to be too crazy.
00:22:06
Speaker
It's going to be very simple.
00:22:08
Speaker
All right, you ready?
00:22:10
Speaker
Art or makeup?
00:22:14
Speaker
Art.
00:22:16
Speaker
Dancing or singing?
00:22:19
Speaker
Dancing.
00:22:20
Speaker
New Jersey or Philly?
00:22:24
Speaker
Jersey.
00:22:26
Speaker
Squats or lunges?
00:22:28
Speaker
Squats.
00:22:30
Speaker
Painting or drawing?
00:22:33
Speaker
Painting.
00:22:36
Speaker
Having a great dinner out or a great dinner cooked inside?
00:22:42
Speaker
Because I know you like to cook.
00:22:43
Speaker
A great dinner cooked inside.
00:22:45
Speaker
Oh, there you go.
00:22:47
Speaker
Gemini, Shannon.
00:22:48
Speaker
Yeah, so I just have a few more questions, Shannon, because I know you got to go.
00:22:55
Speaker
So when you do makeup, right?
00:22:57
Speaker
Let's get into art, because I think we did enough makeup, we did enough male grooming.
00:23:01
Speaker
Let's get into art.
00:23:02
Speaker
So you have an art piece there behind you.
00:23:03
Speaker
Is that your art?
00:23:04
Speaker
Did you do that?
00:23:05
Speaker
Yes.
00:23:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:23:07
Speaker
So when you're about to paint something or draw something, what's your intentions when you're creating something?
00:23:13
Speaker
Like do you have to be in a certain space?
00:23:15
Speaker
Is it emotional for you?
00:23:17
Speaker
Is it something to kind of kill time?
00:23:19
Speaker
Is it to kind of break up your profession with you want to start something different?
00:23:23
Speaker
Like what is your intentions?
00:23:25
Speaker
Like I go to the gym
00:23:27
Speaker
to move my energy around and shift my emotional state.
00:23:29
Speaker
Or I play basketball to have fun.
00:23:31
Speaker
Like, why?
00:23:32
Speaker
Like for art, what is your intention and inspiration behind doing it?
00:23:37
Speaker
Well, when the quarantine started, I couldn't do makeup on people's faces.
00:23:42
Speaker
So I started cutting magazine faces out and painting over those.
00:23:48
Speaker
And when I first started, it was just on paper and it was just a way to like, it's like a form of meditation for me.
00:23:54
Speaker
It's kind of like I go into a zone.
00:23:57
Speaker
I have no, I just focused on that and not thinking of anything.
00:24:03
Speaker
Um, and I started to be like, Oh, I like doing this.
00:24:05
Speaker
And I was, I mean, I did one every day almost, or I worked on and I didn't watch no TV during the quarantine.
00:24:12
Speaker
I know one show,
00:24:14
Speaker
painted like almost every day.
00:24:16
Speaker
Now they evolved to on canvas.
00:24:19
Speaker
But when I do it, it's more like the things that I'm going through like emotions.
00:24:24
Speaker
So frequencies and colors that I see and things that I feel that I might be going through.
00:24:33
Speaker
You can see colors?
00:24:36
Speaker
Like in your mind when you're painting, you see colors?
00:24:39
Speaker
Wow.
00:24:39
Speaker
Can you run that process?
00:24:41
Speaker
That's kind of dope.
00:24:43
Speaker
Well, it all started when I took psychedelics.
00:24:48
Speaker
I mean, a lot of people might be, but actually they changed my life.
00:24:53
Speaker
And I saw a lot of colors when I took the psychedelics.
00:24:59
Speaker
A few times when I've taken psychedelics, it let me see a lot of things.
00:25:07
Speaker
And it made me realize how much we are really connected
00:25:11
Speaker
to each other to earth to everything so a lot of my paintings are created from that ex those experiences that i had and also like life experiences things that i go through in my life and it's just like colors kind of um mean emotions like hot cold or
00:25:33
Speaker
love feelings or sad feelings i kind of just put it out on the painting so it's almost kind of like you know whatever i'm kind of going through or sometimes what other people are going through i have a lot of friends that we talk and you know share their experiences so sometimes i put that on my paintings mostly it's like emotional stuff
00:25:57
Speaker
Yeah, so yeah, I mean, I never knew you that you saw colors.
00:26:01
Speaker
I think that's kind of that's intriguing.
00:26:03
Speaker
Should I take some psychedelics?
00:26:05
Speaker
I want to see colors.
00:26:08
Speaker
I think my energy is already psychedelic.
00:26:11
Speaker
So many colors in here.
00:26:14
Speaker
Yeah, so I mean, do you have a painting that you can show us right now?
00:26:19
Speaker
What's that behind you?
00:26:21
Speaker
Can you explain what does that mean?
00:26:24
Speaker
This guy looks like he's gonna hurt me.
00:26:26
Speaker
It's kind of like energy being transferred.
00:26:31
Speaker
Oh, wow.
00:26:33
Speaker
Like this yellow person is like the energy person is kind of taking the other person's energy.
00:26:47
Speaker
It reminds me, it's funny that that means that because it reminds me of the Soul movie where they were in the Lost Souls in the movie, you know what I'm talking about, right?
00:26:58
Speaker
I haven't seen the movie yet.
00:27:00
Speaker
Oh, you haven't seen it?
00:27:01
Speaker
Oh, you just kind of watched it.
00:27:02
Speaker
I know, I know.
00:27:02
Speaker
It makes so much sense.
00:27:04
Speaker
I need to watch it.
00:27:04
Speaker
You told me to watch it.
00:27:06
Speaker
Yeah, so it's kind of like a part in a movie where they're in like desert sand and there's like these lost souls that are people and they like look like demons and they're all dark.
00:27:17
Speaker
Then they got this like genie or magician guy who comes and just
00:27:21
Speaker
take their darkness away and then they wake up like, oh, what am I doing?
00:27:25
Speaker
Like, you know, it's kind of interesting.
00:27:28
Speaker
So yeah, you got to watch the movie, maybe some psychedelics while you're... Oh, yeah.
00:27:35
Speaker
Because it's good.
00:27:38
Speaker
It's like I saw them, I put it on.
00:27:40
Speaker
So yeah.
00:27:43
Speaker
But that's dope.
Future Projects and Industry Advice
00:27:44
Speaker
So moving forward, I mean, we know you're going to always do celebrity makeup and makeup here and there.
00:27:50
Speaker
Can we look forward to some Pazetta paintings or art?
00:27:54
Speaker
Like, is it a way for people to kind of get some art from you?
00:27:57
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:27:58
Speaker
By the way, Dante said, are you still going to do his piece?
00:28:06
Speaker
I'm working on like trying to well I'm just like been doing some research to like evolve more with my paintings and how I can make them better and I'm gonna go bigger with my paintings real big
00:28:21
Speaker
But it's, you know, I've been working on set for like the last two weeks and it's been working like every single day.
00:28:30
Speaker
So I haven't had to paint, but I'm going to actually go really hard with my painting.
00:28:36
Speaker
So
00:28:38
Speaker
Yeah, we'll see.
00:28:39
Speaker
Yeah, so people listen, Shannon is very, very soft spoken, but she goes hard.
00:28:45
Speaker
She's a hustler.
00:28:46
Speaker
She gets it done and in the gym.
00:28:48
Speaker
By the way, ladies, you can do pull-ups.
00:28:50
Speaker
Shannon can do eight pull-ups.
00:28:52
Speaker
I don't know the last time you did a pull-up, Shannon, but I know when we was training back then, you was doing pull-ups.
00:29:00
Speaker
But yeah, Shannon, I mean, is there anything else, you know, I know you got to go because you got to work in a few.
00:29:06
Speaker
Is there anything else that people should know about makeup, male grooming and just being an artist in general?
00:29:12
Speaker
I think with it, what I think about for your profession,
00:29:16
Speaker
is freedom, right?
00:29:17
Speaker
I always say in order to be me, I have to be free.
00:29:20
Speaker
And I think you're so free and effortless in your profession that it shows in your works.
00:29:26
Speaker
But is there any advice or feedback you can give people that want to get in the makeup industry, people who are trying to improve their skin and their appearance?
00:29:35
Speaker
Because I think it's very important, especially if you live in like this town of LA.
00:29:41
Speaker
for anyone that's trying to get in the makeup industry is don't give up it's definitely a hustle like um you know just keep going at it and whatever it is that you the great thing that we have right now is instagram and social media which i didn't have when i was first started so
00:30:01
Speaker
you you put out what you want to attract so you want to do a certain type of makeup start doing that makeup do it on your friends do it on your family members do it on anyone that you can get and put it on your social media and start putting out there what it is you want to attract you know and then for people with their skin care you know just
00:30:24
Speaker
self-care take that extra time in your day drink your water the best way to I feel like to get eight glasses of water a day because I know it's hard as soon as you wake up drink two glasses before you do anything before you drink your coffee before you do anything go straight to the kitchen and drink your glasses of water two down I like that now I don't know throughout the day how you'll work it and then always drink two glasses before you go to bed
00:30:53
Speaker
Oh, so that's four.
00:30:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:56
Speaker
That's how I work it.
00:30:57
Speaker
I don't know.
00:30:58
Speaker
And it, when people I'm telling you right now, water is the key to good skin.
00:31:05
Speaker
I don't care what it's, it plumps your skin.
00:31:07
Speaker
Guarantee drink water for a week and notice what your skin is going to look like.
00:31:11
Speaker
Because when your skin is dry, that means your skin, you're two days behind in dehydration of your body.
00:31:18
Speaker
When your skin is dry and your lips are dry.
00:31:21
Speaker
Water, water, water, water.
00:31:22
Speaker
Drink water, people.
00:31:23
Speaker
Agua.
00:31:23
Speaker
You need it, you need it, you need it.
00:31:25
Speaker
Last question, Shannon, because someone just chimed in.
00:31:28
Speaker
What's your skincare routine?
00:31:30
Speaker
Because you have nice skin and you look great.
00:31:32
Speaker
What do you do to keep it?
00:31:33
Speaker
I mean, other than drinking water, how do you keep it so
00:31:37
Speaker
you know, on a consistent... Well, I drink water.
00:31:40
Speaker
I wear sunscreen every single day.
00:31:42
Speaker
I do not leave the house without sunscreen.
00:31:44
Speaker
I never go to bed with makeup.
00:31:46
Speaker
Well, first of all, I don't wear a lot of makeup and I never go to bed without washing my face and moisturizing.
00:31:54
Speaker
And if I do wear makeup, I wear a small amount of makeup in the center of my face and I kind of just blend it out.
00:31:59
Speaker
And to be honest, getting a facial once a month is like change my skin.
00:32:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:05
Speaker
it's an investment and if you can't afford to get it once a month look up online and do some type of facial to your face once a month it's hot steam yeah it's out you know because it really
00:32:23
Speaker
A lot of people though have like their skin will be bad and it's just that their skin is not being properly cleaned.
00:32:29
Speaker
That's it.
00:32:30
Speaker
They don't need like you'll go to dermatologists and try to put you on medication and it's usually most of the time it's just that their skin needs to be properly cleaned once a month because it's just like dirt gets in your skin and just builds up, builds up.
00:32:47
Speaker
So this might be a rhetorical question, like I should know the answer, but I'm not sure.
00:32:51
Speaker
Do you still apply sunscreen when there's no sun outside?
00:32:56
Speaker
I applied every single day.
00:32:58
Speaker
Really?
00:32:59
Speaker
Every day.
00:33:00
Speaker
I don't leave without sunscreen.
00:33:02
Speaker
Okay.
00:33:03
Speaker
I'm 40, baby, like no marks.
00:33:05
Speaker
Hey, baby, glowing.
00:33:07
Speaker
Halla to the player.
