Meet Melanie Spry | Makeup Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Melanie Spry and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Melanie, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I love all things beauty. I love being creative with looks, textures, and aesthetics. I enjoyed trying to create a new trend or my own signature style when I was younger. It was my mission to stand out from the crowd.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a Professional Freelance Makeup Artist, creator, and owner of Majestic Knowing Beauty. I specialize and curate natural, yet enhanced makeup looks for the everyday working person, media, television, and film. I am known for being relatable to my client’s wants and needs when they sit in my chair. I teach them how to create effortless looks on their own. I like to have my clients feel like the look we created is their signature look, created specifically for them. In theory, the look is created for them, their face shape, eye shape, brow, lip, and cheek structure. No face is the same!

I’m most proud to share last year I started posting beauty content on my YouTube channel. I created the channel back in 2013. Last year I decided to take the platform seriously and start sharing beauty content with the world. I’ve enjoyed creating content and engaging with my subscribers who I call MK Beauties. YouTube is another outlet for me to share my passion for beauty with others virtually.

I believe what sets me apart from others is not wavering in my why. Psalms 139:14 says, I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works. I do not look to alter my client, only to enhance their beauty.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Great question. I can’t offer too many suggestions. I haven’t ventured out as a tourist much. I would begin with the historical side of Atlanta touring Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park, then visit the most common tourist sights like The World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium, Six Flags over Georgia, Piedmont Park, and Centennial Olympic Park. Restaurants, I would tell my guest to take a pick…there are soooo many great restaurants in Atlanta. When it comes to seafood, I would definitely suggest The Juicy Crab.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to shout out my Mother. My mother did my makeup for my high school graduation. It was after that moment I begin showing interest in makeup. Fast forward years later, in 2009 I began to study makeup application, how to properly care for skin, and gained product knowledge. My passion turned into becoming a Professional Makeup Artist.
