We sit down with 3 extraordinary ladies who embody the qualities of confidence, creativity and being comfortable in your own skin with the versatile YSL Beauté All Hours Foundation
On the basis of personality, career and appearance, Generation T 2019 honourees Ivanna Salehudin, Indrani Kopal and Alina Amir are as different as they come.
As co-founder and chairman of healthcare company Nova Satra DX, Ivanna’s passion for health tech has translated into accurate detection of cancer using Asian-specific epigenetic biomarkers.
Artsy Indrani Kopal made a name for herself in the international film circuit when her documentary, Incarcerated Rhythm, premiered at the 13th Annual Harlem International Film Festival last year, earning her the Mira Nair Award for Rising Female Filmmaker.
Arus Education co-founder Alina Amir doesn’t just want to elevate the standards of education in Malaysia – she’s on a bigger mission to incorporate 21st century topics like climate change, gender equality and technology into the mainstream curriculum.

While their paths may vary, they share the common values of courage, self-confidence and boldness in the face of challenges – all qualities associated with today's YSL Beauté woman who isn't easily stopped in her journey to achieve her dreams.
Recently, we sat down with all the 3 ladies for a chat about the values they hold dear and the building blocks for their successes.
Ivanna Salehudin
What values form the foundation of your success?
Persistence, integrity, and accountability.
What’s the source of your courage in the face of challenges?
My father has always been my source of courage. His optimism and strength have been my inspiration throughout my journey.
Why is it important to be confident in one’s abilities in your industry?
It's so important to not be fearful of voicing out your thoughts and expressing your opinions during a discussion. Confidence is key, as it minimises doubts and fear of failure, and encourages you to keep finding solutions. For me, the concept of ‘failure is not an option’ keeps me going and pushes me forward.
What look do you like best in your everyday make-up routine?
I prefer natural, fuss-free make-up for my everyday look. My first impression of YSL Beauté's Mascara Volume Effet Faux was how easy it was to apply without clumping. And I liked the fullness it added to my lashes.
The Rouge Pur Couture lipstick was another treat: I loved its 'barely-there' natural colour. The texture of the lipstick glided smoothly over my dry lips and kept it looking glossy and hydrated throughout the day.
I was also pleasantly surprised at the level of coverage that the YSL Beauté All Hours Foundation had, and the lightness I felt on my skin. I’m not usually a fan of foundation as it always feels a bit too heavy. But this foundation gave me the perfect coverage without that heavy feel. I absolutely loved it!
