Meet the Business Owner

Simone C.

Business Owner

A native Californian born and raised in Hollywood, my introduction to the beauty industry happened somewhat by chance. After years of working in stuffy corporate environments, I longed for something more creative. In 2004, a friend who worked for a cosmetics line, and was in charge of hiring artists for an upcoming show, offered to try me out. I knew absolutely nothing about makeup but, having always been artistic, I figured I would give it a shot. I literally bought a how-​to makeup book, studied like my life depended on it and faked my way through the event. The clients loved my work, the company asked me to stay on and I’ve never looked back!

Over the past several years I have worked with five major cosmetics lines and I currently freelance in the greater Los Angeles area.

Simone did my makeup for a recent wedding I was in, she makeup for myself, the bride, and three other bridesmaids (and she did the bride’s and maid of honor’s hair!) Simone was awesome throughout the process, organized, efficient, and super nice to be around! I truly enjoyed being around her throughout the day, and my makeup was impeccable! It stayed on all night and looked fabulous. Thanks Simone!

Makeup artist Simone Closson is Laura Burke’s go-​to makeup artist and super sweet. We talked about the looks I wanted: Mom, Hipster Office, and I Just Gotta Be ME! which is heavy eyeliner cause I love that stuff. She determined the order we would start with based on the easiest makeup look and her ability to quickly add to it. Simone does her part in making sure your headshot session is less makeup change time consuming, and more headshot shooting.
She was awfully sweet and very, very good at what she does. Definitely recommend her for your headshot (and other!) makeup needs!

I had a great time working with the sweet, funny Simone. She was so wonderful and creative. Very comfortable to work with. She was very good with the vintage feel of the photo shoot. You can’t go wrong with her!

Simone is a truly talented makeup artist!
I work in the wedding industry and have had the chance to work alongside many makeup artists over the years, so I’ve seen the best and have fairly high standards. Having worked with Simone several times now, I am always thoroughly impressed by her overall professionalism an high caliber of work. She doesn’t only do makeup either, as her hair styling skills are fantastic too!
There are actually quite a lot of makeup artists working in Los Angeles who are good with makeup and know how to make a person look pretty. What sets the really good ones apart from the rest, is personality. Someone who is relaxed, warm, enjoyable to talk to, and FLEXIBLE — with the ability to calmly roll with whatever comes up in working environments which can sometimes be high pressure.
Simone has it all! Highly recommended.

Simone is a true artist. She made my entire bridal party feel like a million bucks. She is kind and a joy to be around. Throughout my wedding day she added a sense of calm to the room that made me relax and enjoy the process.
I feel truly blessed to have had her be part of my special day!
In addition to the quality being five stars she is also one of the most affordable makeup artists in the area.

I’ve been working with Simone for over 4 years now and she has been a treat to work and create with! She’s an artist first then translates it to Makeup and Hair. Her easy going personality is great for the clients and makes very appropriate suggestions for their looks. We have a lot of fun playing and the clients appreciate our down to earth and quirky approach!
I would highly recommend Simone and feel free to contact me anytime!

Simone was an absolute pleasure to have at my sisters big day! She set a reasonable schedule, was able to do 3 bridesmaids makeup beautifully and transform my sister into the most stunning bride I’ve ever laid eyes on. She was flawless and the photos are incredible. A special thanks to Simone for sharing her talent with us.

Simone was the makeup artist for my daughter’s portfolio photo shoot last year. She does stunning and versatile work. She was able to switch from contemporary to couture style looks, without missing a beat.
I would certainly recommend her for professional work. But because her fees are so reasonable, she would be great for some special occasion or even just stepping out for a night on the town. In this industry, she is a breath of fresh air. Definitely take Simone for a spin!

I have known Simone for many years and watched her progress in this business. She shares her photographs of her work on her Facebook business page and all I can say is WOW, she really knows what she is doing.
On a personal note she is a pleasure to be around, and an all around fun person. I also know she takes her job very seriously, so if your looking for an excellent make-​up artist, I would highly recommend Simone.
