ABOUT

Relaxed in style, meticulous in execution, Céleste Switala brings a grounded, intuitive approach to beauty—one that favors restraint, nuance, and skin that looks truly alive. Her work is defined by an effortless polish that never feels forced, celebrating individuality, modern elegance, and a quiet sense of confidence.

Based in San Francisco, Céleste is a Professional Makeup Artist, Hair Stylist, and Licensed Esthetician with over a decade of experience working across fashion, beauty, commercial, film, and private clients. She is known for her skin-forward approach, creating luminous, modern looks that feel effortless, refined, and editorial—designed to enhance confidence and presence, both on camera and beyond. Hair is approached with the same philosophy: polished yet relaxed, always in service of the overall vision.

Céleste’s portfolio reflects a sophisticated balance of minimalism and intention. From fresh, natural complexions to elevated editorial statements, her work demonstrates a refined understanding of texture, tone, and light. Each look is thoughtfully tailored, allowing skin, features, and individuality to take center stage.

Committed to continual refinement, Céleste regularly pursues advanced education and industry training, evolving her craft while maintaining a distinct point of view. Her approach blends technical precision with intuition, enabling her to adapt seamlessly to different faces, hair textures, and creative directions.

Beyond artistry, Céleste is known for her calm presence, adaptability, and ability to make clients feel genuinely comfortable and cared for. This skin-first philosophy also extends into her role as Founder and Head of Product Development at CÉLESTE SWITALA, her independent skincare line born from years of hands-on experience working with skin. The handcrafted, multifunctional formulas—designed for skin, hair, and grooming—are the same essentials she relies on professionally and personally, both on set and in daily ritual.

As a U.S. and French citizen, Céleste is available for projects that require travel. For bookings, collaborations, or inquiries, please get in touch.
