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.
THE JOURNEY
​
Born into a lineage of designers, my career has been a global pursuit of artistic excellence. My technical foundation was built in the world's fashion capitals, beginning with a prestigious apprenticeship at John Frieda London and advanced studies at the Royal College of Art and Central St Martins. This unique intersection of photography, fashion design, and hair artistry allows me to offer a holistic approach to beauty—ensuring every detail is meticulously crafted for the lens.
​
To meet the rigorous demands of high-fashion and cinema, I specialized in HD makeup at the London Film Academy and the Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles. My journey continued in New York, collaborating with visionary teams at Sally Hershberger and Serge Normant. This international exposure—ranging from the pages of Vogue and Elle to high-stakes commercial sets—provided me with the versatility required for the world’s most demanding productions.
Since returning to France, I have merged this global expertise with European refinement, notably serving as the personal artist and stylist to HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco. Today, based in Bordeaux, I provide a bespoke beauty concierge for private clients and destination weddings. Whether as a Cheffe Coiffeuse Maquilleuse for film or a private stylist in the villas of Cap Ferret, my mission remains the same: to reveal your authentic essence through expert technique, absolute discretion, and a signature touch of luxury.
