From a very early age, Mby was fascinated and passioned about drawing and painting, she was especially interested in drawing faces, creating voluptuous shapes with colors.

Growing up, she first chose a more corporate career and worked for many years as a project and marketing manager.

In 2014 she decided to use her natural talents and love for colors and shapes to become a Hair & Make-up Artist. She studied Hair and Make-up in Berlin at Maggie.B and has been working ever since in a variety of fields: editorials, advertising, music videos.

She sees beauty in the little details and takes her inspirations from the traditional aesthetics of Madagascar, her country of origin, to the elegance of women in Paris, where she lived for many years, to the alternative and vibrant crowd of Berlin where she now lives.

How do you handle Sustainability ?

Sustainability is a pretty important topic for me. It means respect for others, myself and nature so on a day to day basis I try to respect everything that surrounds me. I’m a clean beauty enthusiast, I'm also happy to see that more and more alternative brands develop nice foundation shades and formulas for people of color.

What do you like?

kindness, understanding, respect and dark chocolate :-)

Best compliment?

When my model decides to go out after the shooting because she/they feel beautiful with my hair and make-up styling

What languages do you speak?

French, English, German, a bit of Spanish
