I’m a makeup artist with nearly a decade of experience across pageants, beauty, editorial, weddings, and more. My journey with makeup began as a competitive dancer — doing stage glam nearly every weekend growing up! That early passion turned into a lifelong love for the transformative power of makeup.

 

In 2020, I took a leap and moved to New York City to pursue my dreams, studying at Makeup Designory. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to build a career filled with incredible opportunities—collaborating with brands like ELF and Revlon, assisting artists I’ve long admired, and seeing my work featured everywhere from the red carpet to the London Tube and even Times Square. My artistry has been published in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, seen on Bravo, and brought me to the Super Bowl through work with NFL Media.

 

A fun fact about me: my favorite part of any look is ✨SKIN✨ Glowy, flawless, real skin is where I really feel at home.

 

But truly, the best part of this job is making every person in my chair feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful in their own skin — bonus points if I can get a laugh out of you with one of my infamous dad jokes!

 

Beyond glam, I’m passionate about building community. That passion led me to create Industry Night — an event series designed to bring artists and creatives together to connect, collaborate, and share ideas. It's only the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where it goes next.

 

Thank you for considering me to be a part of your journey. I’m so grateful for nearly ten years of growth, gratitude, and gorgeous stories — and I’m always looking forward to what’s next.

 

With love and laughter,
Lauren Simpson
