Product Talk : Jenny Le

Product Talk is a series where we discuss beauty philosophies and product faves with make up aficionados in a myriad of industries.

I first met Jenny Le at Opening Ceremony back in 2012, my mouth dropped the moment I saw her. Her presence is undeniable. She is so confident with the way she dresses and her powerful under eye makeup is immediately alluring. We sat down with Jenny to talk about her current favorite products and beauty philosophy.

I’m a Retail Director over at Opening Ceremony.

How did you get into the fashion industry?

Humberto Leon & Carol Lim are good friends of mine and contacted me to join the team.

Tell me about your beauty routine?

It’s pretty simple a morning scrub, mask, moisturizer, mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick is all I need.

Indigenous tribal women from Sapa Mountains to Berber women.
