Now who the hell is on Shannon’s beauty team? According to COMPLEX Shannon Sharpe, who is supposed to go viral for his infamous sports takes, is now the butt of internet jokes because of his makeup on Monday’s episode of ESPN’s First Take.
A popular parody account dedicated to Shannon took to Twitter to claim Sharpe’s heavy makeup had him looking like Randy Jackson, while another user compared his appearance to Little Richard.

Shannon responded to the ‘concern’ over his make up admitting that it was a little heavy and it was the first time that the artist did his makeup.
Appreciate the concern over my makeup this morning on @FirstTake This was her 1st time doing my makeup and it was a little heavy. My appearance is important not as important as my takes. Hopefully, the takes were gr8 as usual. #LipSparringChamp #BestDressed #Espn
He also made it clear that the artist would not lose her job despite all of the jokes on Twitter.
No she isn’t. She’ll get better with my makeup. Isn’t the end of the world https://t.co/rj4jLoyHtK
