Shannella is INCREDIBLE. I called her last minute and she came out of her way to open up the shop just to do my makeup for the Globes. She did such an amazing job and made sure that I loved it before she finished. She was more than willing to redo whatever I wasn't completely comfortable with. Though, that never needed to happen because I wouldn't change a thing! I have gotten my makeup done only a few times before her so I didn't know what to expect. She exceeded every expectation. I have vitiligo (no pigment) on some areas of my face and she was the first person to blend and cover it completely. I walked out feeling flawless. 6 hours later, and my makeup was still on point and perfect in person and in pictures. I can't wait to go to Shannella for any future events! THANKYOU SO MUCH! read more

If you are as picky as I am about your make up, shes your girl. I hate going to a makeup artist and coming out looking like a witch and my face all caked up. She actually takes her time and blends everything in. I have acne scars and she covered them all up without me looking caky. Besides how amazing her work is her attitude was amazing as well. She makes you feel comfortable and she cares about what she does. She doesnt do it for money she does it because she loves it. She also gives you great tips on makeup. I do recommend you to go see her. I can finally say i found my makeup artists. PS, the make up stayed on all night. even after sweating and dancing non stop. Thank you so much for making me look beautiful. read more

By far the best makeup artist i've ever had. Shanella was referred to me by a friend of mine who has been getting her make up done by Shanella for years. She came highly recommended so I decided to give her a try. I was going to a wedding and had a light pink dress with black lace. I wanted her to do a light smokey eye with a light pink shimmer. It turned out absolutely perfect. Ever since, Shanella has been my makeup artist of choice and I wont go anywhere else. She does amazing work and I highly recommend her. read more

My parents were going to be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with a large dinner and reception. I don't usually hire a make up artist to do my make up but since I was going to be the announcer for the evening I wanted to look my best. Oh my gosh, Shannella DuPuis of Ellamua was fantastic! I arrived at her studio and was pleasantly surprised with her expertise and professionalism. I throughly enjoyed the whole experience. I felt like I was having a spa day. Shannella was very attentive to my needs, made me feel very comfortable and showed me tips on how to touch should I need it. She was amazing and she made me look amazing. I will use her services and highly recommend her to my family and friends. I received so many compliments from family and friends the entire evening. Shannella, thank you for making me feel and look so beautiful!!!! read more

I needed to get my makeup done, so I searched on yelp for the best makeup artist in the sherman oaks area. I found Ellamua Studio. I called to see if they had any availabilities, for the weekend. She had a cancelation so I was able to see her. And thank God she had a cancellation because now I know of the best makeup artist in town. Her studio was at her house, which I didn't know how to feel about that at first but once I got there, it was super cute and clean. I automatically felt comfortable. The makeup artist name is Shannella, she is so sweet! I wanted her to do a super clean purple smokey eye look. She executed the look I wanted perfectly! I am very happy I found her. I go to a lot of wedding out of the area and she said she can go where ever I am. Thats is so helpful!!! If anyone is looking for perfection, Shannella is the makeup artist to see! read more

Finding the right makeup artist is a huge task for a girl to do on her own. I was so luck to have found Shanella, she was prompt and super flexible. We set up a trail a couple weeks before my event because I didn't want anything super crazy, I wanted to look classy with a soft look and luxurious hair. I was so amazed with the end result, Shanella really listened to my requests on how I envisioned my makeup and gave me some suggestions as well. On the day of my event Shanella definitely delivered.She arrived early to set up and was actually waiting for me, she finished before schedule giving me plenty of time to get dress and accessorize before it was time to head out the door. That was defiantly a bonus with my boyfriend he gave her an extra tip and said "Finally, a makeup artist that doesn't have me waiting all night! Babe, that's it, no one else she's the one!" If you have been delegated as a bridesmaid or bestie to find a makeup artist look no future Shanella is your girl for every occasion. I trust Shanella so much I could just sit in her chair and say "MAKE ME LOOK BEAUTIFUL. . ." without a worry about being dissatisfied. read more

I had a pregnancy photo session last month and was not sure who to contact for hair & makeup. I found Shanella on Yelp and when I called her, she immediately gave me a super friendly vibe over the phone. She asked what look I wanted and was very informative. I can tell she already had a plan in mind when I said I wanted a fresh-look but at the same time still looks like I had makeup done. We set a date & she arrived on time and did exactly what we talked about. She's a perfectionist so she'll ask you multiple times if you are satisfied with her work so far because if not, she can always alter it to your liking. I'm so glad I found her. I will for sure be calling her again when I need a professional to do my hair/makeup. Thank you again so much Shanella!!! :) read more

I was in Los Angeles and at the last minute my original makeup artist had a family emergency and couldn't make it. I woke up to a panicked voicemail explaining how an accident occurred and she needed to fly to be with her family. I understood but was still annoyed because I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to get another artist on such short notice. I contacted several artists from yelp and Shannella got back to me immediately. She was able to squeeze me in. She arrived about 5 min early and we started discussing the look I was going for. I'm extremely picky when it comes to makeup but her application and blending techniques are on point. Not to mention that she works quickly and throughly well being able to maintain a nice conversation. Before I knew it my makeup was done and it honestly is probably the best makeup I've ever had done. I will always use her from now on if I have any shoots in LA. Whatever foundation she used on me was full coverage but yet you couldn't see it on my skin also her contour and highlight was expertly applied. I wish I could've worn that look for the rest of the week. Thank you Shannella! read more

Shannella is as sweet as she is talented! She did the bridal party's make up for my friend's wedding in September. Like many of you, I am slightly anxious before I have my make up professionally done. I have had some negative experiences in the past where I was unhappy with how it turned out, washed my face, and re-did it myself. I am also a black eye-liner girl; I need a little black eye liner to define my eye shape, no matter what. I have had make up artists refuse to put black eye liner on me, even though that's what I wanted! Shannella was literally so respectful of my wishes. She doesn't take offense like some make up artists do. She talks with you throughout and tells you exactly what she's putting on your skin. She told me if I didn't like something, just tell her and she will fix it because she wants her clients to walk away feeling beautiful. I really loved that and it made me feel so comfortable and confident in her. And the results? I LOVED how my make up turned out!! I asked her for something natural, rosegold tones, and she nailed it! Plus, my make up stayed on for over 12+ hours without smudging or reapplying! I would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone looking for a quality make up artist. Also, the other bridesmaids that had Shannella do their make up were also so happy with the finished product! Thank you so much, Shannella!! read more

Absolutely FABulous is how I looked & felt after getting my Makeup by Shannella done for a wedding I was attending. I had only had my make up done a handful of times prior and WOW, she blew everyone away including the MAC counter. She had everything brought with her and asked plenty of questions to make me feel comfortable in what direction she was taking with my face. She is a doctor to when it comes to hiding blemishes and accentuating all the pretty points of one's face. If I had to do it all over again, it would definitely be Shanella all the way... the true test was passed when most of the prettied faces at the wedding looked overly dramatic or un-natural. When I looked in the mirror I could see me just glowing in the right places. Shanella will Make You Love Your Face ! read more

Where to start!? I have known Shannella for a couple of years now and have had the pleasure of working with her both personally and professionally. She is very skilled at what she does and her passion for beauty shines through when you work with her. She did my wedding makeup last September and I couldn't have been happier. She was so attentive throughout the consultation and trial and far exceeded any expectations I had with the end result. She gave me tips on how to stay hydrated and keep my skin healthy so it was glowing on my wedding day. Not only did she do an absolutely amazing job on me and my girls, she was also a total support that day. She is fun, positive, and beautiful inside and out. I have seen first hand the diverse and beautiful palettes she can create on any skin complexion. I continue to recommend Shannella to my brides and always love working with her on styled shoots. You will not regret booking this amazing makeup artist! read more

Shannella is not only one amazing and talented makeup artist, she is extremely professional and makes sure that you are 100% satisfied. I had her do my makeup for my wedding on April 26, 2013. She did more than an exceptional job, her organization and time management was pretty impressive. I am more than happy with how she did not only my makeup but everyone else's. She made everyone feel and look so beautiful and flawless. I highly recommend her to anyone, her ability to communicate and to put at ease from anyone who always wears makeup to those like my mother and mother in law who aren't use to wearing makeup feel extremely comfortable. read more

My suggestion is to open yourself up as a canvas and let this artist do what she does best...create art. read more

I only had a few weeks to plan my wedding and luckily, Shannella was able to fit me in last minute. She came to my house (she was on schedule and I was running very late). She really helped to calm me down after an earlier hair disaster with my hair stylist. She even touched up one of my friends while she waited for me. I love wearing makeup but my husband is not a fan. Shannella did such a perfect job the day of my wedding with very beautiful, but natural looking makeup which made both my husband and I very happy! My pictures came out flawless -and my makeup stayed in place even after my husband and I got into a massive cake fight!! She really has mastered what she does and she is incredibly pleasant to be around. I highly recommend her!! read more

Shannella did an amazing job with the make up for an entire bridal party of 11, including the bride. As mother of the bride I appreciated that she did two practice sessions for my daughter, so her make up on the wedding day was perfect. Shannella knows how to handle difficult clients, and didn't get stressed at all with 11 people to do. And she gave me great advice on my eyebrows: they are sisters, not twins! I love Shannella and would highly recommend her for any special occasion. read more

My husband and I used Shannella for our wedding services in March of 2016 and she did an amazing job! Did not have to touch up at all and the photos show proof how amazing of a job she did. I wanted natural with a hint of smokey eye and she nailed it. I highly recommend using her for your makeup needs! I will be back for maternity photos now that we are expecting a little girl. read more

Let me start by saying that I never get my makeup done professionally, because I used to work for a major makeup brand and was trained to apply makeup for a living. However, I was recently in a friends wedding and saw how beautiful the bride and the other bridesmaids looked after Shanella did their makeup! All of a sudden I found myself begged her to fit me in .. ON THE WEDDING DAY. The other women had booked her months in advance. She took my last minute request with grace and stride! She even felt bad that she didn't give me enough time and gave me a touch up again after photos. After she did my makeup - I looked and FELT BEAUTIFUL. I got so many compliments that evening. I slept in my makeup because it was so pretty! I would hire her in an instant and am recommending her to all my friends. Hire her if you want to look pretty, sophisticated and very sexy. read more

Such a great experience. I would say I was a bit of a makeup novice before scheduling my makeup lesson with Shannella. Shannella was able to show me a number of useful techniques, great tips, and tricks when applying my makeup. She also recommended some of the most ideal products (which I am in love with by the way). Since my makeup lesson, I am much more comfortable with the process of applying makeup from day to day. This is a huge relief; now during my makeup ritual, I breeze right through it in half the time and double the results. Thank you for your amazing work and teaching me how to go day by day with all the right techniques for my type of skin and recommendations to such amazing products I had never even heard of. read more

I've known Shanella for over 5 years, we meet in the makeup industry. I have always admired her amazing and beautiful work she does on others.

I friend of mine told me about Shannella and what a great job she did on her make-up. I contacted her and she responded very promptly. We made arrangements for her to come to my house for an event I was attending. She came to my apt with all her supplies and even lighting. She is extremely friendly and very easy to talk to. Everything she does is very knowledgeable and she even gives you pointers on what to do in your day to day make-up. I did not see my progress until I was done and I was so astonished at how great I looked. I had never had my make-up professionally done. That evening I got so many compliments on how great I looked. I felt as if I was walking taller because I had a new confidence about me. I will go to Shannella whenever I have an event I need my make-up done for. She is fantastic!! read more

Shaunella is a jewel! I met her in 2010 while prepping for my wedding in Santa Barbara. I had no previous experience with her but her personality, confidence and skill while I was at the MAC store drew me in. Not only was my make up incredible for the wedding and stayed put all night, but just recently I had her do make up for a party in Orange County Dec 2015 and it was perfection. Just Fantastic! She's a miracle worker. I had been frazzled all day and looked ragged! She transformed me...truly, I looked rested, beautiful and glamorous! And oh boy, I woke up the next day and my make up was still perfect! I'm not ashamed to say that I left it on...lol, because it literally was still the same as the previous evening!!! I'm going to book some time with her when I'm in LA again. She's not only a professional, but is just a genuinely nice person that I enjoy being around. Don't hesitate to book with her and give yourself plenty of time before and after so that you can maximize time with her. Also, book her earlier than you think you'll need her, like an hour or so. Allow travel time to come into play, especially if in LA or OC. Because truly, you don't want to rush the experience of watching her transform you! Love you Shaunella! xo, Diana read more

Shannella was my makeup artist for my engagement photos and also decided on hiring her for my wedding, she was absolutely fabulous! From the very beginning, Shannella was very easy to work with - she was very quick to respond to emails, answered all my questions, let me know what she required up front, and had very reasonable prices. I can't stress enough how happy I was when I found Shannella and her team. When I came into her lovely studio for my trial appointment, my main concern was I wanted to make sure that I still looked like myself even though this would be my makeup for my wedding. Shannella listened, and understood exactly what I wanted. I loved the way my makeup came out for the trial and was amazed that after a full day of taking engagement photos, my make up was still on point. On the day of the wedding, Shannella and her 2 assistants showed up at our hotel right on time. All 10 of my bridesmaids makeup as well as mine came out flawless, to top it off Shannella provided me with a mini touch-up kit and gave me tips on how to touch up my lips if I needed to during the wedding. Shannella and her team made our getting ready experience relaxing, not to mention we were finished with hair and makeup ahead of schedule giving us extra time to relax and take everything in before heading over to the venue. I received so many compliments on my makeup and my makeup looked flawless in my wedding photos. I would definitely recommend Shannella and her team!! read more

I attended a red carpet event last friday and miss Shanella hooked up my make up! The red carpet pics came out fantastic! Everyone has been complementing me on my make-up since Friday! My eye make-up and lashes are still in tact 3 days later that I don't even want to wash it off! Shanella is very thorough and detailed in her work. She has a lot of patience and won't stop till she has achieved prefection! She also did my make-up last year for my bday and again she did a fantastic job! All my friends wanted her number after they saw me this past weekend. Highly Recommended! 5 *****! read more

Shannella did my Halloween makeup and I was in love!! I wish I had her met her a long long time ago because I would have had her do my makeup for EVERYTHING, including my wedding. She's such a sweetheart and so amazingly talented. What a perfect combo! She made me feel so comfortable and kept reassuring me that if I did not like anything, it could be fixed easily. Like many women, I am very very picky with how my makeup is done, but everything she did was so on point that I didn't want her to change a thing! It's like when you find that one person that does your nails perfectly and every time you go, you just let them do their thing because they know what they are doing. Shannella knows what she is doing. Plain and simple- I feel like I could just sit on the chair and say do whatever you want and she will make me look like a million bucks. She will be doing my makeup again very soon. Can't wait!! read more
