“I wanted to create a character, with a bolder expression, while remaining accessible to our consumers.”

Smokey Lash

“The first visual, which was shot for our smokey lash campaign, was a huge success worldwide. During the shooting, I was very inspired by our model, Olivia Dessolin.

Queen Of Saba

“We had created a collection for Sephora, around the theme ‘The Lion King’. I had chosen a multicultural model. I wanted to bring out the material like a sculpture (copper coloured cream) to convey an animal and feline impression, placing black marks on the model’s face.”

Tribal

“Orange is a colour that I love and it reminds me of my travels. I was inspired by Africa. I applied the products with a sponge. The way we accessorised the look was very unique. We all enjoyed arranging the image like a painting.”

Drama Queen

“It was late at night; we kept adding elements to the look and ended up piling on a lot of black. It is excessive, very excessive. She is theatrical and dramatic, as if she was performing on a gigantic stage.”

Aqua

“With the ‘Aqua’ franchise, what we wish to put forward are the colours. There are various versions of the look, but we wanted to play with the simple but offbeat use of blue.”
