I am a Toronto-based makeup artist with over 16 years experience in the wedding, theatre, fashion, film and print industries. My love for makeup started at age 11 when I would sit and draw faces on paper and design their makeup! In High School I started doing theatrical and wedding makeup artistry, and self-taught myself reading every book out there on the subject! After High School I went to The School of Makeup Art (SOMA) in Toronto and received 2 diplomas (Fashion and Beauty Makeup Art and Special Effects Makeup) and 3 certificates (Hair Design, Camouflage Makeup, and Wig Making and Styling). After college I went on to work in the fashion and film industries, as well as doing weddings every year (my true love!). My experience includes dozens and dozens of commercials, TV shows, films, music videos, weddings and photo shoots. As well, I have taught makeup art at the college level.

Simone, thank you so much for the fantastic job you did on everyone's makeup at Daina's wedding this weekend. Everyone looked great and you were such a friendly, calm, and efficient presence Saturday. Daina was radiant throughout the day, as I'm sure you can imagine. Thank you once again for the phenomenal job you did.

BRIDAL TESTIMONIALS

Simone did my wedding make-up and she was amazing. She took such care of me and made me look really special for my big day. Thanks so much, Simone.- Anna S

Simone took care of the make-up for myself and 4 bridesmaids and did an excellent and very professional job. You want to feel great on your special day and Simone made me feel beautiful. I would recommend her in an instant! - Janet M

'I absolutely loved what you did the day of the wedding, I didn’t do a trial with you either i just trusted you and didn’t say much about what I really wanted and you did what you thought worked and it was definitely my favourite' - Tiffani

'Simone was a wonderful make up artist--I am so glad I found her, and was able to book her for my wedding! She was very professional,friendly, flexible, and very quick to respond to any of my questions,concerns, etc. She was very punctual, and she had a really great selection of products. One of my favorite things about Simone's work was that she did everyone's makeup, and there wasn't a person that wasn't happy. My sister has a lazy eye, and Simone did awesome makeup for her, and yet she also did makeup for my 78 year old grandma. Such versatility! I can promise you won't be disappointed...she made my day AMAZING!! (I didn't do any touch-ups either, and the makeup lastedall night)' - Tina
