Born in Châtillon sous Bagneux, a suburb of Paris, the 43-year-old developed a passion for art and painting from a very young age. She pursued art in high school and at La Sorbonne University. After the birth of her daughter she took a break from studying before attending Paris’s Juventhera make-up school in 2000. There her teacher Aline Lainey taught her techniques that she would later refine into her own signature style.
