Your LinkedIn photo is the first thing a client, employer, or collaborator sees before they ever meet you. Your conference speaker headshot lives on a website for years. Your branded content appears in front of thousands. If your makeup isn't camera-ready, your professionalism is the first thing that gets questioned — before you've said a single word.
Pink Mantis Beauty is Nashville's Emmy Award-winning mobile hair and makeup pro's, founded by Stephanie Wilson — a multi-licensed, fully insured professional artist with 10+ years of experience working on TV sets, red carpets, corporate events, and branded content shoots across Middle Tennessee and beyond. If your image needs to perform on camera, Stephanie's the artist Nashville professionals call.

Corporate makeup is a specific skill set that most everyday makeup artists don't specialize in. It's not about looking glamorous — it's about looking credible, polished, and camera-ready without looking like you're wearing makeup at all.
The best corporate makeup does three things simultaneously: it eliminates distractions (shine, redness, uneven skin), it enhances your natural features so the camera reads them clearly, and it stays put for hours under studio lighting, ring lights, and flash photography. Do any one of those things wrong and the photo has to be reshot — or worse, retouched to death until it stops looking like you.
Headshot makeup is even more technical. A camera — especially an HD or 4K camera — sees texture, color, and light completely differently than the human eye. What looks natural in person can read as flat, washed out, or uneven on screen. What looks "too much" in the mirror often looks perfectly balanced in a lens. Getting this right requires an artist who works on camera regularly — not just someone who's good at everyday glam.
🎬 STEPHANIE'S EDGE: As an Emmy Award-winning artist with credits on TLC, PBS, CMT, A&E, and Amazon Prime, Stephanie works with cameras professionally — not as a side skill. That experience is what makes Pink Mantis Beauty Nashville's first call for professional headshots and corporate beauty. |
Nashville is a city full of professionals whose image is part of their brand. Here's who calls Pink Mantis Beauty for corporate and headshot makeup services:
Executives and Business Professionals |
C-suite leaders, attorneys, financial advisors, real estate agents, consultants — anyone whose LinkedIn profile, company website, or press kit needs to communicate authority and trustworthiness. A professional headshot with professional makeup tells the viewer: this person takes their brand seriously.
Conference Speakers and Keynote Presenters |
Nashville hosts hundreds of conferences, summits, and industry events every year — from healthcare and tech to music and entrepreneurship. Speaker headshots and stage-ready makeup are not optional when your face is on a Jumbotron, a conference website, or a promotional reel. Stephanie specializes in makeup that performs under stage lighting and looks exceptional on every screen size. She can set-up a full mobile salon style experience, backstage, in the green room, conference room, break out room, convention or hotel room (we frequently go to Gaylord Opry Convention Center, and Music City Center, as well as Omni, JW and more!)
Real Estate Agents and Mortgage Professionals |
In Nashville's competitive real estate market, your headshot is your first showing. It's on every listing, every yard sign, every social media post, and every email signature. Agents who invest in professional makeup for their headshots consistently report stronger client impressions and faster trust-building — because the photo communicates that they pay attention to every detail.
LinkedIn Profile Updates and Personal Branding Sessions |
Whether you're launching a new business, pivoting careers, or refreshing a professional profile that's years out of date, your LinkedIn photo is doing more work than you realize. Recruiters, partners, and potential clients all form an impression before reading a single word of your bio. Professional makeup ensures that impression is the one you actually want.
Actors, Talent, and Nashville Entertainment Professionals |
Nashville's entertainment industry is massive — and it extends well beyond music. Actors, voice-over artists, on-camera talent, and influencers all need headshots and content-ready makeup that photographs beautifully under every lighting condition. Stephanie's TV and film experience makes her the natural choice for entertainment professionals who need more than a standard glam look.
Corporate Teams and Company-Wide Headshot Days |
Pink Mantis Beauty offers on-site corporate team headshot makeup for companies in Nashville who want their entire team looking cohesive, polished, and professional. Stephanie arrives at your office or event space fully equipped, works efficiently through your team, and ensures every person — regardless of skin tone, age, or gender — looks their best on camera. Men's grooming is included.
Pink Mantis Beauty is 100% mobile — Stephanie comes directly to your office, studio, hotel, or event venue anywhere in Middle Tennessee. Here's how a corporate or headshot makeup appointment works:
 | Book online or text to confirm your date and location. Use the online booking calendar at pinkmantisbeauty.com/book-now or text (931) 446-1489 to discuss availability and confirm your appointment. Corporate team bookings are handled via custom quote — email pinkmantisbeauty@gmail.com for group rates. Stephanie arrives fully set up and ready to work. She brings a complete professional kit stocked with HD/4K-ready products for every skin tone, type, and age. You don't need to provide anything. She sets up in your space in minutes. |
 | Skin prep and consultation first. Every session starts with a brief consultation about your look, your goals, and any skin concerns. Stephanie then preps the skin for maximum camera performance — smoothing texture, correcting uneven tone, and eliminating shine before a single product goes on. |
 | Camera-ready makeup application. Foundation, concealer, brows, eyes, and finishing — all optimized for the specific camera and lighting setup you're shooting in. Stephanie adjusts the look based on whether you're shooting in natural light, studio lighting, or both. |
05  | Touch-ups and setting for longevity. The look is set for hours — not just for the first frame. If your shoot or event runs long, the makeup holds. |
 | Men's grooming included. For team sessions and productions, men's grooming (skin prep, light foundation, shine control, brow grooming) is available at every appointment. |

From Stephanie Wilson, Emmy Award-winning artist and founder of Pink Mantis Beauty:
 | Moisturize the night before — not the morning of. Heavy moisturizer applied right before a shoot can cause foundation to slip and create shine within an hour. Hydrate your skin the night before and use only a light, mattifying moisturizer the morning of your session. Stephanie will handle the rest. |
 | Don't try a new skincare product the week before your session. New products — especially active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, or vitamin C — can cause unexpected reactions, dryness, or redness in the days following first use. Stick to your regular routine for at least 7 days before your shoot. |
 | Bring your outfit options — not just one. The color and neckline of your clothing affects how your makeup reads on camera. Jewel tones and solid colors photograph best. Stark white can create exposure issues. Bring two or three options and Stephanie can advise before the session starts. |
| Tell Stephanie what camera and lighting setup you're shooting in. Ring light, strobe, natural window light, and studio softboxes all require slightly different makeup approaches. The more Stephanie knows about your setup in advance, the more precisely she can optimize your look. |
| Plan for your session to be the first appointment of your shoot day. Don't squeeze makeup into a gap between other obligations. Give yourself 30–45 minutes with Stephanie before your photographer arrives. Rushed makeup is visibly rushed makeup — and a headshot lasts years. |
