Virginie Desfontaines|Bridal Makeup Artist & Hairstylist
Lyon – Rhône-Alpes – Switzerland – Burgundy

Since childhood, beauty has always held a special place in my life. At the age of five, I was already stealing my mother's lipstick. I could hear her exclaiming, across the rooms: "Virginie, did you steal my lipstick?" Those first clumsy gestures were actually the beginning of a passion that has continued to grow.

At 28, I decided to turn this passion into a career. I left my job in the audiovisual industry to join the Flavia Palmeira makeup school, before continuing my apprenticeship in Australia at Benefit Cosmetics, then in Paris, in the worlds of television, luxury hotels, and private individuals. I've had the chance to collaborate on demanding projects, from the film The Tiger and the President to the pages of magazines like AMV Wedding, The Atlas Magazine, and Pap Magzine.

In 2024, I returned to Lyon, my hometown and heart, with a clear conviction: to devote myself fully to brides. Since 2022, I have expanded my services to hairdressing in order to offer a complete beauty treatment, and today I specialize exclusively in wedding makeup and hairdressing in the Rhône-Alpes, Burgundy, and cross-border Switzerland.

Every day, I draw inspiration from the women I work with. Their stories, their personalities, and their nourishing emotions are the foundation of my passion. My role is to reveal their radiance with precision and delicacy, so that they feel themselves, confident, and unique on one of the most important days of their lives.
