Born and raised in San Francisco, Chantal began working in the fashion industry at a young age. Though her initial career as a model kept her in front of the camera, she steadily learned the art that took place behind the camera from some of the industry's top makeup artists. Today, she works closely with some of the biggest names in music, fashion and film. Her beauty and makeup advice regularly appears in such magazines as InStyle and Glamour, and she has appeared on television as a beauty expert for E! Entertainment Television, The Style Network and Fine Living Network. In 2009, she became Beauty Editor for the online lifestyle magazine Tangerine Living. In 2010, Chantal appeared on the MSN.com Kellogg’s Special K-sponsored series The Victory Project as resident Beauty Expert. Look for her next in 2012 on the NBC series Fashion Star when she lends her beauty expertise to the design team.
