Shakirah Sithole

Fuelled by her fierce spirit, Shakirah Sithole finds freedom in expression through her unapologetic embrace of colour, contrast, pattern, and play. A self-taught make-up artist, Shakirah’s work fearlessly blends fantasy with reality, taking inspiration from Anime and Drag to inform her distinct style. Originally signed as a model with Lampost, Shakirah’s growing passion for make-up quickly established her as a visionary who brings both technical skill and a daring sense of artistry to every project.

Her portfolio includes high-profile collaborations with artists like Uncle Waffles, Tyla, adidas, Nike, Converse, as well as high-fashion editorial work for Vogue. Make-up, for Shakirah, is both an art form and a transformative tool – a space for self-expression that transcends societal boundaries. Whether enhancing natural beauty or creating strikingly elaborate looks, she thrives on transformation, constantly pushing her creativity through her love of experimentation. 

What began as a personal journey of self-expression through make-up has evolved into a flourishing career, where she continues to redefine beauty and creativity through a daring, authentic, and free expression of her universe.
