Icon of the month: Amalle, founder of AMAL Gallery

This month, we are delighted to meet Amalle, design enthusiast and founder of the art gallery AMAL Gallery in Lyon. She reveals her vision of beauty and her daily tips...

Beauty interview with Amalle, creator of AMAL Gallery:

• Can you tell us about your journey leading up to the creation of AMAL Gallery?

I am married to a painter (BY! Benjamin Dupuy) and passionate about art and design. I opened a slightly offbeat and uninhibited gallery. I really wanted everyone to feel comfortable surrounded by incredible pieces and little fantasies.

• What can we find in your concept store?

AMAL Gallery is designed as a museum shop. You can find a wide variety of things in this conceptual gallery: works of art, designer lamps, tea because it is very good and the boxes are great, T-shirts created for the gallery, small Lego-shaped chalks, unique bag and clothing creations, jam ... As well as a food supplement, but not just any: DAY+ because it's funky like the gallery!

• D+ for care, what does that mean to you?

D+ for care, from the first moments I discovered it, evoked simplicity and efficiency.

• What is your relationship with food supplements and how has D+ for care revolutionized it?

I am not used to taking food supplements. DAY+ is a first for me, a new companion full of promise. It is the idea of ​​drinking good things in a single dose that immediately won me over.

• Between us… Do you recommend D+ for care to your girlfriends or is it your best kept beauty secret?

I constantly recommend it to everyone: men, women and teenagers.

• Your favorite addresses in Lyon / when you come to Paris?

In Lyon, the Apothecaries and the 2 Resto jewelry store that I love very much. I like going to Lulli for clothes. In Paris, I try to visit all the possible concept stores and the Bon Marché. I like to have lunch at the Dôme du Marais or have a hamburger at the Butcher. My favorite and inspiring places in France and abroad are museums and galleries.

• Your flagship beauty products?

The gentle exfoliant and sensational cream from Odaites (Apothecaries of the senses).

• Your favorite beauty gestures?

A stroke of natural and handmade kohl that I bring from Sefrou, a small town near Fez in Morocco and pure rose water from Morocco as well.

• The worst beauty faux-pas?

I'm not very good at makeup and I admit that I still haven't understood the principle of countless layers of foundation on the skin... And tattooed eyebrows.

• Your very personal/weird beauty gesture?

I make my son laugh a lot with that, but when I'm off, I smear my face with a lot of things... My tea bag, a slice of tomato, the skin of a banana, potato peelings...

• And when you crack, what do you crack for?

I often fall for clothes!

• Your beauty icon?

Meryl Streep since I was 12 I think.

• What makes you feel beautiful?

My husband's eyes, my son's words...

• Having fun until the early hours and being a beauty priestess, that's finally compatible, right?

To be very honest when I sleep very late, in the morning it's a bit hard! The old stuff!!

• Which category of D+ for care women do you identify with?

The woman on the go: the gesture is effective, the stick can be taken anywhere.

• And finally… “Less is more” or “More the better”?

More the better!
