Armelle, tell us your course!

I have been a makeup artist for 30 years, I had the chance to start quickly as a make-up artist on feature films. My 1st film was Papa est parti maman aussia real challenge that pushed me towards an extreme demand and a rigor. Then I was an assistant. I was lucky enough to work in Italy and France with great Italian directors during the great period of Italian cinema in 1989. For example, I worked with  De SicaMario MonicelliLina WertmullerSofia Loren. At the same time I started to work on TV but also the opera and the theater, I became a true passionate. Such a diversity of universes, extraordinary people...

Afterwards, I wanted to develop my field of action to the photography so I did a training of hairdresser because dual skill is often required for shootings.

What are you most proud of in your career?

I'm very happy of the wealth of my relationships and to have had this requirement and rigor. I am very proud of some projects such as Cineccita or Alexandra aux pays des neiges (India). Recently, I am very proud to have worked and shared the universe of Nicolas Boukhrief for his "Made in France" film.
