Fusion Hack: Glam Hacks with Shawn Hektor-Lewis
Welcome back to the Fit Body Lifestyle, sweet friends! In this glow-up of an episode, Jami and Greg sit down with the talented glam queen herself, Shawn Hektor-Lewis, to chat all things stage glam—from makeup and hair to confidence and preparation. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or dreaming of stepping on stage one day, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to shine without distraction.
Shawn brings her signature real talk and glam wisdom to the table, dropping truth bombs about why stage glam is not the place to DIY—unless you've seriously trained for it. She and Jami share the importance of planning ahead, caring for your skin and hair long before show day, and why sometimes less is more when it comes to glam.
Their banter is fun, honest, and empowering—like a backstage pep talk from your big sister who just gets it. Whether you're rocking curls, extensions, or just your radiant self, the goal is always the same: let your physique shine and your glam elevate—not distract.
5 Key Takeaways from This Episode:
Hire a Professional for Stage Makeup
If you're not skilled in stage-specific makeup, don’t try to wing it. You risk undermining months of prep with mismatched foundation or distracting makeup mishaps. It's an investment in your confidence and your final package.Healthy Hair & Skin Make All the Difference
No amount of product can hide poor hair or skin health. Start caring for these areas early—glam can only enhance what's already there.Come Prepared with the Right Extensions
Stylists are not miracle workers. Bring your own quality, color-matched extensions—and make sure you've practiced with them before show day. Don't assume your stylist will provide them.More Is Not More
Overdoing makeup or hair can age you, cast odd shadows, and draw attention away from your physique. Keep it polished and elegant—aim for enhanced natural beauty, not full-on drag queen glam.Let Glam Be an Accessory, Not the Main Show
Your physique is the priority. Hair, makeup, and accessories should support your look, not distract from it. Blend those extensions, choose makeup that complements your skin tone, and keep the judges' focus where it belongs: your athletic presentation.
