SHAHNA

‘' I love being a makeup artist and the connections created between myself, clients and professionals. The most gratifying aspect of my profession is having the ability to give one confidence and to bring ideas to life. ''

Shahna Smith is an accomplished artist based in Adelaide, South Australia, with nearly a decade of professional experience in the field. She started as a determined young girl in a small town but set her sights on a career in makeup artistry. At 16, she made the bold move to Melbourne, Victoria, to chase her dream.

​

Her journey led her to work as an artist at the prestigious SEPHORA in Melbourne, where she had the opportunity to participate in Elite Masterclasses, including those with notable figures like Marc Jacobs and Gilbert Soliz from Tarte Cosmetics. As her skills and confidence grew, Shahna relocated to Adelaide to establish her own business in makeup artistry.

​

Throughout her career, Shahna's work has been featured in magazines, showcased on runways for brands such as Lorna Jane and Wella Hair, and she's collaborated with renowned brands like L'Oréal, Alix Yang Jewellery, Marvin & Medusa Swimwear, and many more.

​

Today, Shahna Smith is not only a successful makeup artist but also the Founder and CEO of Amplified Beauty Australia, a cosmetic brand her late mother had named when she was just 16 years old. She skillfully balances both her businesses, and she finds great fulfillment in witnessing the transformation and increased confidence of women of all ages, sizes, and skin colors after a makeover.

Shahna's work takes her to various settings, from one-on-one sessions to editorials, runways, and films, making her job uniquely special.

Regardless of where you come from or who you are, Shahna Smith welcomes you to experience Ssmith Artistry.
