The French-born, Brooklyn-based makeup artist and influencer gained international acclaim as Estée Lauder’s global beauty director in 2017. She also launched her own YouTube channel giving makeup and beauty tutorials, which helped her amass a loyal following of over 24 million views (which also translated to a highly engaged Instagram community that today sits at nearly 500K people).
