Rachel Bensimon
Fashion - Beauty - Lifestyle - Photography
Originally from Toronto, I began doing makeup and hair in the late 80's following a successful career as an international model.
My work as a fashion model paved the way for me to become an international makeup artist and hair designer, based in Paris, France for several years before making New York my home.
My work has appeared in the pages of Vogue, Glamour, Marie Claire, Elle, L'Official and I've worked with high profile clients such as Anna Wintour, Martha Stewart, Susan Sarandon and Marcia Gay Harden to name a few. Please check out my makeup and hair website here -

A few years ago, I earned an MFA from The New York Academy of Art and have exhibited my paintings and drawings in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. My photography grew out of my absolute love of image making and design.
Having worked internationally on both sides of the camera, I am well versed in what it takes to capture the "look" you see in fashion magazines today. I combine my artistic sensibilities, through the medium of photography, with my exceptional skills in makeup and hair to achieve a transformational photo shoot where you'll emerge as the best possible version of yourself. You don't have to be a model to look like one!
