Shannon Sharpe Responds To Fans’ Concerns About His Makeup on ‘First Take’

Shannon Sharpe’s first month on ESPN’s First Take has been entertaining and the numbers have proven that morning television is better when Uncle Shay Shay is on. However, Sharpe didn’t have his best moment Monday morning when his makeup lady went a little too hard.

Social media users began to clown the NFL Hall of Famer for his appearance this morning, but he took to Twitter to defend the makeup artist, reassuring everyone that it’s not the end of the world and that she will keep improving. It was a classy response from Unc, who could have easily blamed the makeup artist. 

Check out a few of the tweets from Sharpe and fans as they reacted to 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
