What vision of beauty has your career given you?

Discovering well-being with just a few additional tools and tricks – “beauty” needs to be nurtured. If only we knew what it really takes when we were younger!

 What does the slogan “Because I’m Worth It” mean for you?

 Self-esteem – being able to love yourself so you can love others better.

 What does being a L’Oréal Ambassador mean for you?

 First of all, it’s a great source of pride! Second, I’m treated like royalty so I can be at my very best.

 What is your favorite daily beauty ritual?

 Makeup is a pleasure. I love foundation, which can now instantly even out your complexion without making it look cakey. It’s a small, everyday miracle.

 What’s a beauty secret that you have never revealed?

 Every morning I apply beet sauce all over my face…

Nah!!! I’m kidding!

 What are your favorite L’Oréal Paris products?

 My very favorite product is Elnett hairspray. It’s widely used in fashion. I also like True Match foundation. I can’t conceive of makeup without foundation – for me it’s the basis; it’s essential. It blends into my skin completely for a very natural look.

Also, I often use Revitalift Total Repair 10 in the morning; it’s really practical since it’s an all-in-one product.

 If you were alone on a desert island, what would you take with you?

A supply of toothpaste, a toothbrush and my Revitalift of course!

What does the Cannes Film Festival represent to you?

A few days spent away from real life, away from reality, that are very glamorous and where I rub shoulders with amazingly talented people in a wonderful ambiance.

What gives you self-confidence?

In my work, competence gained from experience. Physically: having little but having it good (quality clothes, accessories and make-up, well cared for hair and nails).  Also knowing that no-one expects perfection, but rather enthusiasm, sincerity and kindness.

 How would you define beauty?

Whatever gives you joy.
