The founder of Lala Curio celebrates a collaboration with Clé de Peau Beauté this month with bespoke artwork created for the release of the brand’s Rose Synactif collection. She shares her inspirations and top beauty tips below:

What inspired your collaboration with Clé de Peau Beauté?

With the artisanal approach that we specialise in at Lala Curio, we created a piece of art for launch event of Clé de Peau Beauté’s Rose Synactif collection at Caprice. We used hand-embroidered and embellished silk table linen, and a series of hand-painted watercolour drawings, intertwined with a rich vegetation of ferns and leaves.

What is your favourite Clé de Peau Beauté product and why?

The foundation and concealer. I grew up with it and cannot go a day without. It makes your skin glow to perfection on a good day or bad.

Talk us through your skincare regime.

I believe diet and lifestyle are also key, and I learnt a lot through Mind Body Green and their health conference I went to recently. My skincare regime has literally been using the full set of Clé de Peau Beauté products since I was a teenager, the only products my mother would use. My sister and I got the first dibs thanks to Mum.
