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

Hi Sha, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I’ve always had a passion for being a creator. I decided to pursue an artistic career because it allowed me to express myself, my culture and it allowed me to take hands on tasks with just my imagination. Art is not only a gift it’s a passion. Having a creative mind will allow you to become more diverse and open to try many things! The moment I knew I had a passion for beauty and cosmetics I knew it was because it allowed me to be me in every form.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a professional makeup artist based in South Carolina. I’ve had the opportunity to work with prestige makeup company’s like Sephora, Estee Lauder & Clinique. In 2018, I created “Sha Slayage”. Sha Slayage specializes in Bridal makeup artistry, photoshoot looks and natural polished enhancements for filming, etc. Throughout my three years in the beauty industry I am most proud of my growth. This journey wasn’t quite easy, but well worth it. Throughout this journey I kept alongside faith and positivity. I’ve kept myself educated with trends and ideas and I’ve built some of the best relationships with my clients. A lesson I’ve learned along the way has been to maintain a level of creativeness and consistency and to never get discouraged as there is so much opportunities in the world.

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?
Having my best fiend visit my city it is very likely that we try new things and adventures. A week of her visiting could consist of early brunches, nightlife fun and tons of shopping and taking pictures.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to dedicated my shoutout to Jeanette, a Skincare & beauty representative. I met Jeanette on one of my social media platforms and she has showed me continuous love. She has kept me motivated throughout the journey of my business.
