Professional Accolades

“D'Shannon is an absolute professional. Her skills go well beyond simply being a great makeup artist/hair stylist and she gives 110% on every project in which she participates. Her energy and positivity can be felt the moment she walks in the door until she leaves and is contagious to everyone on-set resulting in more successful shoots at my studio with everyone being relaxed, comfortable and excited to create great images. She is constantly aware of my subjects as I shoot and has that unique ability to notice those small details that can make or break an image and her personality always helps to put my subjects at ease while we're shooting. One thing I noticed with D'Shannon when we began working together was that my images actually required less retouching because of her mastery of makeup application on any skin type. D'Shannon is a true talent and absolutely dedicated to making each project a success.“ JOHN FEDELE PHOTOGRAPHY St. Louis, MO studio 314.367.1011 www.johnfedele.com “On What Not to Wear, we ask that the local make-up artists replicate the look that Carmindy, our on-camera artist, originally gave our makeover candidates back in New York. I've worked across the country with this show and D'Shannon's looks mirror Carmindy's more so than any other artist I've worked with. Not only that, but she also upped the look and made our girls look fabulous when they revealed their new makeover to their friends and family. D'Shannon's great to have on set. She kept our girls company during set-ups and downtime - which everyone knows is important -and was friendly and engaging with both talent and crew. Plus she's generous with her makeup tips, which doesn't hurt either! I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.” Annalisa Ellis Field Producer What Not to Wear “I started working with D’Shannon Llewellyn in the 2nd half of 2009. She has been a great resource on our production team. D’Shannon has assisted us with hair and make-up on multiple photo and video shoots, including several episodes of the television series TLC’s “What Not To Wear”. D’Shannon is talented, professional, courteous and reliable. I recommend her to anyone looking for a hair and make-up professional.” Patrick Barlow CEO / Executive Producer Barlow Productions, Inc. St. Louis, MO (314) 994-9990 www.barlowpro.com “While organizing our fashion show for the TrashBiscuit Spring 2010 Collection I was privileged to work with Miss D’Shannon Llewellyn. As head of our makeup look for the show she certainly went above and beyond. Working with D’Shannon was a wonderful experience; I would not only recommend her, but plan on continuing to work with her in the future.” -AJ Thouvenot Creative Director TrashBiscuit LLC 636.288.3079 AJThouvenot@Gmail.com "As a Key Makeup Artist for St. Louis Fashion Week, D'Shannon Llewellyn proved to be an extremely valuable member of the backstage team.
