Story June 17th, 2013 , at the initiative of the Mimi Foundation and in collaboration with Leo Burnett France , 20 cancer patients participated in a unique makeover experience .
They were invited to a studio where they got their hair and makeup done without being able to see themselves during the transformation.
A photograph then immortalized the moment they opened their eyes.
This discovery allowed them to forget the disease, if only for a second.
Story (original language) Le 17 juin 2013, à l’initiative de la Fondation Mimi et en collaboration avec l’agence Leo Burnett France, 20 personnes atteintes du cancer ont participé à une expérience de relooking inédite. Elles ont été invitées dans un studio où elles ont été coiffées et maquillées sans qu’elles ne puissent se voir.
Un cliché a immortalisé l’instant où elles ont ouvert les yeux.
Cette découverte leur a permis d’oublier la maladie, ne serait-ce qu’une seconde.
Philosophy The project was conducted in two stages.
The first took place in Brussels in June, where the Mimi Foundation and Leo Burnett reunited the photographer Vincent Dixon and the director Coban Beutelstetter.
One of them had the mission to capture the second when the people saw themselves after the transformation, the other to film every moment of their experiences.
The second stage of the project was to organize a photo exhibition for the families of the patients on November 7th, 2013.
The idea was to reveal at the same time all the photographs taken by Vincent Dixon .
Within a second, smiling faces were seen all over the room. 
At that very moment, the cancer did not exist for the family members either.
Philosophy (original language) La première, en juin dernier à Bruxelles, La Fondation Mimi et l’agence Leo Burnett ont fait travailler conjointement le photographe Vincent Dixon et le réalisateur Coban Beutelstetter. L’un avait pour rôle d’immortaliser la seconde où ces personnes se sont redécouvertes. L’autre avait pour mission de filmer chaque instant de cette expérience.
La deuxième étape du projet consistait à organiser une expo photo le 7 novembre 2013 à destination des familles des patients. L’idée était de leur révéler au même moment les clichés réalisés par Vincent Dixon. En un instant les sourires se sont propagés.
A cette seconde précise, pour les familles aussi, le cancer n’ existait plus.

AI Description In this compelling and heartwarming ad, a cancer patient named Ann is captured in a moment of joy and surprise. The photograph shows her with an exaggeratedly playful hairstyle—a large bow created with her blonde hair—and striking makeup. Her eyes are wide with astonishment, a big smile on her face, momentarily oblivious to her ailment. This image encapsulates the experience offered by the Mimi Foundation through a unique makeover that allowed patients to forget their disease, if only for a fleeting second. The visual style is vivid and uplifting, conveying an intense moment of happiness and freedom through the use of bright colors and joyful expressions.
