Portrait of Atefeh by Soulfire Studios

Atefeh Shojaie is a Vancouver makeup and hair artist with a unique approach rooted in fine arts, precision, and an eye for refined beauty. With close to 20 years of experience, she blends technique with intuition—bringing out each client’s best features while honoring their natural style and individuality.

Entirely self-taught and fiercely dedicated to her craft, Atefeh’s path began in the world of visual arts before evolving into makeup artistry. That creative foundation continues to shape her work today, from bridal and branding to commercial and editorial shoots. Whether she's crafting a glowing bridal look, perfecting polished makeup for headshots, or tailoring a bold editorial style, her goal is always the same: create looks that photograph beautifully, feel effortless, and empower her clients to feel like themselves—elevated.

Based in Vancouver, she works in-studio and on location, offering services for weddings, e-commerce, personal branding, advertising, and men’s grooming. Her calm presence, attention to detail, and deep understanding of how makeup translates on camera have made her a go-to artist for creatives, professionals, and brands alike.

When she’s not on set or with a client, Atefeh is often sketching new ideas, refining her kit, or collaborating with other local creatives. She believes beauty should feel authentic, not overdone—and that great makeup starts with great connection.
