ABOUT SHAWNTAY SAMONE
I don’t just work behind the scenes, I build teams that embody excellence.
I am Shawntay Fisher, a visionary artist and the founder of Samone Colors, a premier makeup and image consulting company for television, film, and special events. For me, makeup has never been just color on the skin—it is a language of confidence, a bridge between who we are and how we want the world to see us.
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve had the honor of working behind the scenes as a Makeup Artist of history making moments and unforgettable productions. From President Barack Obama’s first Inauguration, to Ava DuVernay’s Oscar-nominated documentary 13th, to global networks like HBO, CNN, ESPN, and Netflix. I’ve seen firsthand the power of makeup artistry done with excellence, discipline, and heart.
Samone Colors was built on that vision. Today, my team and I are trusted partners to directors, producers, actors, and high-profile clients who demand flawless, camera-ready looks every time.
“I’m not just building a brand — I’m building a movement that honors beauty, celebrates brilliance, and leads with boldness.”
My vision for Samone Colors is simple: to elevate every project with artistry that inspires, while leading with integrity and innovation. My journey has been one of faith, resilience, and unwavering passion, and what inspires me most is seeing people step into their light—feeling seen, valued, and ready to shine. That is the transformation I bring to every set, every red carpet, and every production.
A Moment in the Chair
When a client sits in my chair, it’s not just about makeup, it’s about trust, connection, and creating an experience that feels personal. Makeup is more than the final look; it’s the bond we build in the process.
Leadership & Vision
At Samone Colors, leadership is about vision, heart, and elevating others. I guide our team to create more than beautiful makeup. My vision is simple: to provide artistry that elevates every project, while leading with integrity, precision, and creativity.
