Shannen Meza

With over seven years of experience in the beauty industry, I've built my career on passion, leadership, and adaptability. I may not have formal licenses, but through hard work, dedication, and hands-on experience, I have consistently proven myself in every opportunity that has come my way.

My love for makeup and skincare started at just 13 years old, and my loyalty to the industry has only grown stronger over the years. I began my professional journey at Ulta Beauty, where I developed my expertise before landing my dream job at MAC Cosmetics. Starting as a part-time artist, I quickly moved up to full-time, and within a year, I became a MAC Manager, leading my team for three years.

Life took an exciting turn when I co-founded a makeup artistry business, specializing in wedding and event makeup. My entrepreneurial mindset pushed me further into affiliate marketing, e-commerce, and website development, allowing me to explore new opportunities beyond beauty.

As a Beauty Team Leader at Ulta Beauty inside Target, I have built a strong, knowledgeable team by educating them on new product launches, brand releases, and professional makeup techniques. Drawing from my years of experience in the beauty industry, I mentor my team with hands-on training, sharing the skills and insights I've gained throughout my career. I lead Target Beauty, Ulta, and 36 employees across multiple departments. I am always willing to learn and adapt quickly as our world constantly evolves. Through every role and challenge, I remain motivated, positive, and committed to inspiring others helping them feel confident not only in beauty but in life.
