Cle de Peau Beaute: Turning Glamour Into Genuine Impact
In a world where chaos feels like the new normal, beauty brands are stepping out of the glossy glam routine and into the arena of real change. And leading the charge? The Japanese splash‑savvy titan Cle de Peau Beaute.
Forty Years of Fancy & Philanthropy
Shiseido‑owned the brand just turned the big 4‑0 and hasn’t let the cake melt. Instead of a typical birthday bash, they announced a lifetime‑loud pledge of $8.7 million (≈ S$12 million) to UNICEF’s Gender Equality programme. This initiative lights up the lives of 6.5 million girls worldwide, giving them scholarships, skill‑building, and a chance to step into the spotlight at work.
Power of Radiance: Celebrating Real Women
Since 2019, Cle de Peau has honored inspiring women with its Power of Radiance Awards – the annual event that peers into those heroes turning education into a golden bridge for girls everywhere.
The New Dream Team: Actresses Who Shine In and Out Of the Camera
Chief Brand Officer Mizuki Hashimoto announced a trio of global ambassadors whose ambition outshines any lipstick. Meet:
- Ella Balinska – the “science nerd” who’s not afraid to pull STEM from her heart.
- Diana Silvers – the Booksmart icon with a mission to inspire women to chase their dreams.
- Dakota Fanning – a Hollywood superstar who gets the “unique strengths” vibe.
In a virtual meet‑and‑greet session broadcast to Her World readers, each star shared how the brand resonates with them.
“I’m so honored because it’s Cle de Peau. They’re doing what many don’t even know about – female empowerment, women’s education, STEM, and that makes my heart sing. I’m a huge education dork,” Ella says.
“I’m hoping to inspire other women to go after what they want in life and keep spreading positivity and radiance,” Diana adds.
“It’s a real honor to represent such a distinguished brand, and to work with incredible women like Ella and Diana. Cle de Peau’s philosophy about embracing your strengths feels like a hug for the soul,” Dalida explains.
First Campaign: Lenses, Light, and Life
Shot by veteran photographer Cliff Watts in January, the trio’s inaugural campaign captures more than just skin‑deep beauty. Their backstage chat covers everything from canvas looks to everyday rituals that keep them glowing.
So here’s to Cle de Peau Beaute – proving that beauty can spark hope, and that a dose of confidence coupled with a mission can beam brighter than any makeup kit. The world? It’s a little more beautiful, a whole lot brighter, and a whole lot kinder. Cheers to that!

Radiance, Not Restraint: Why Everyday Confidence Beats “Perfect” Standards
Girl, we’re all in this together
Ever feel like you’re walking a tightrope between the real you and the glitter‑filled version the world insists on? The truth? Everyone gets those moments where you list‑ out or chit‑chat about how you’re feeling “off” — not just with your hair or makeup, but your whole body vibe.
How to Keep the Glow Glowing
- Self‑belief at the core: It’s less about a flawless Pinterest filter and more about knowing you can do it. Confidence is the best cosmetic.
- Bring your inner light to daily life. A quick pep talk before you head out or a thank‑you note to a colleague can turn a plain day into a cheer‑up session for everyone around.
- Remember: Beauty is radiance. It’s about the spark you bring, not the shadows you hide.
Because You’re Already #Unstoppable
DF reminds us that nobody is exempt from those “off” days. Yet she urges us to keep aiming for the goddess of authenticity, not the messiah of perfection. Being yourself is the best reflection you can wear. So next time the mirror feels cruel, switch the lens to confidence and watch the world reflect back a little brighter.
