Our Story

Professional Makeup Specialists Since 1987

CREATED FOR PERFORMING ARTS PROFESSIONALS

PARIS-BERLIN works daily with professionals in fashion, photography, dance, film, theatre, and the performing arts. By gathering direct feedback and real-world experience from industry experts, the team continuously refines its formulas and professional product selection to meet the highest standards.

DESIGNED TO PERFORM IN EVERY CONDITION

PARIS-BERLIN develops products that withstand the demanding conditions of professional use while delivering consistent quality in every situation. The team provides expert advice and tailors product recommendations for each photoshoot, film production, performance, or event to ensure optimal results.

Most PARIS-BERLIN products are manufactured in France, Italy, and Germany using the most responsibly sourced ingredients possible. This approach ensures professional-grade performance while respecting current regulations and environmental considerations.

PRESERVING A FAMILY SPIRIT

PARIS-BERLIN takes its name from the landmark Paris-Berlin exhibition held at the Centre Pompidou in 1978, which explored the artistic, aesthetic, and cultural relationships between France and Germany from 1900 to 1933. The founders, who have led the brand for nearly 40 years, have built lasting collaborations with artistic communities in France and around the world.

Today, Clara and Arthur represent the second generation leading the company. After ten years in fashion sales for Clara and ten years in event production and visual communications for Arthur, taking over the family business from Gérard and Carole was a natural next step. Together, they continue to strengthen the relationships established with professionals while expanding the PARIS-BERLIN range of professional makeup products.

BUILDING LASTING RELATIONSHIPS

Since 1987, PARIS-BERLIN has supplied prestigious institutions including the Paris Opera, as well as the opera houses of Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes, and Montpellier. The brand also contributes to the productions of renowned theme parks and collaborates with both French and international film and television productions.

PARIS-BERLIN is present backstage at fashion weeks around the world and is trusted by iconic French cabarets and legendary stage productions. From internationally renowned artists to emerging talent and independent creators, professionals rely on PARIS-BERLIN products every day.

Since 2023, PARIS-BERLIN has made its professional product range available to consumers through its online store and a curated selection of international retailers, allowing makeup enthusiasts everywhere to enjoy the same professional-quality tools and products used by industry experts.
