Born and raised in France, from a Senegalese background, Mouna developed a passion for makeup at a young age.
Influenced by her number one icon, her mother, Mouna knew that, at some point, she would share her passion for makeup with the world.
“My mother is a typical Senegalese woman who dresses traditionally. She is a strong, confident woman who knows what she wants and knows her worth. As a child, I used to enjoy watching her putting lipstick on! Even while she was at home in her robe, my mother was most of the time wearing some!
I have this memory of her sitting in the living room, applying her magnificent burgundy lipstick while holding her Fashion Fair mirror. Burgundy was and still is her favorite color! And all my sisters adore this memory!
I was eager to apply lipstick myself, and she occasionally would let me try. I would always be creative in combining all her hues!
I appreciated the fact that she gave me that freedom. ”
