Jennifer Murphy is a professional makeup artist working in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

She finished the program with honours and made her way back to the east coast of Canada, the place she calls home.
In 2013, she began working for MAC Cosmetics and couldn’t imagine a more wonderful opportunity! Working with amazing people and wonderful clients, her hands-on experience at MAC enabled her to meet the varied needs of her clients. The magic of a busy retail setting is that you encounter every different type of person, personality, skin tone, age, and lifestyle. It certainly helped her master her art and confirmed her passion for this industry.
She believes that continual learning and staying with new trends in the industry helps create beautiful results for her clients.
In 2017, she had the privilege of attending Mario Dedianovic’s Master Class in London, England, to learn his secrets in creating Kim Kardashian’s iconic beauty look. She also completed courses in Microblading with The Extension Academy and Eyelash Extensions with Misencil.
It is her pleasure to help clients create their perfect look for every day or even their special day.

Born and raised in Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia. Sam had a resume of working with people who have disabilities before changing her career path to pursue the Fashion Industry. She quickly got a Corporate retail job and worked her way up to Visual Merchandiser. After working in retail for a number of years and seeing all the waste that it produces, she decided that it was time to build a brand for herself that she believed in.
Shotgun Vintage was born in April 2018 as an Instagram page. It started as thrifting and selling vintage clothing but after pulling out an old sewing machine to make easy modifications — it soon grew to be a reworking obsession. Completely self-taught on the sewing machine, Sam started to quickly receive a lot of traction through the Maritimes through Instagram. This approach allowed her to be more connected with the customer than it would as a normal web store.
She worked her full-time job and simultaneously worked on Shotgun during nights and weekends for eight months before taking it full time.
Shotgun is completely owned and operated by one person.
