THE ARTISTRY OF VALERIE B.
Bordeaux — Paris — International
A career defined by two decades of international artistry. From the fast-paced energy of New York and Los Angeles to the historic fashion houses of London and Paris, my work is a dialogue between technical precision and effortless elegance.
Now based in Bordeaux, I translate my experience on global film sets and editorial shoots into a bespoke service for a discerning clientele.
Whether directing the aesthetic for a broadcast production or crafting a singular look for a high-profile bride, my approach remains the same: to reveal the most sophisticated, authentic version of my subject.
HERITAGE & PEDIGREE
Born into a lineage of designers and artists, my career is the culmination of a global quest for elegance and artistic excellence. My technical foundation was forged in the world’s fashion capitals, beginning with a prestigious apprenticeship at John Frieda in London, followed by advanced studies at the Royal College of Art and Central St Martins. This unique fusion of photography, styling, and hair artistry allows me to offer a holistic approach to beauty, where every detail is meticulously sculpted for the lens or the red carpet.
INTERNATIONAL EXPERTISE
To meet the exacting standards of High Fashion and the film industry, I specialized in HD makeup at the London Film Academy and the Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles. My international journey continued in New York and LA within the elite teams of Sally Hershberger and Serge Normant, collaborating with visionaries for global publications such as Vogue, Elle, and Tatler. This global expertise provides the versatility essential for production companies, luxury advertising, and editorial projects.
SOVEREIGN EXCELLENCE & PRIVATE SERVICE
Since returning to France, I have blended this global savoir-faire with European refinement—notably having the honor of serving as the exclusive makeup artist, hairstylist, and stylist for H.S.H. Princess Charlene of Monaco.
Now based in Bordeaux, I bring this luxury signature to a discerning private clientele and prestigious destination weddings. Whether serving as Key Hair & Makeup Artist for a production or providing a private style consultation, my mission remains the same: to reveal your authentic essence through expert technique, absolute discretion, and an unparalleled luxury signature.
